Examinations for the issuance of public school teachers’ license will be discontinued in Indiana after December 1, 1923, according to the provisions of a ruling approved and passdtl by the state board of education in session at Indianapolis, recently. Licenses will be issued after the ruling becomes effective only on the basis of training, the requirements of which have been raised considerably. Beginning teachers will be required to have at least 3 weeks' of training after a high school course before a license will be issued for the common grades. Teachers starting in high school work will be required to be college graduates. A three year license will be given persons with 3G weeks of training, with the provision that at the end of that time the teacher must have tin additional year of training before a new license is issued. Another important provision of the ruling concerns the licensing of all school teachers and officials. After December 1 it will be necessary for all school officials including teachers, supervisors and superintendents to hold licenses. The new ruling will have no bearing on the Fort Wayne schools, according to L. (’- Ward, city superintendent and also a member of the state board of education, as the requirements for training here arei equal to that which is provided for by the state law. The ruling will | prove of more value to the rural . schools as in the past, teachers were, required to have only 12 weeks of training to start in the prolesion.

Tesch. In a recent test - Tesch went down 350 feet. Rough weather prevented him from descending farther. The test was made 5 in Lake Michigan, twenty mile's out from shore. The diving box is 7 ft. high and 3 ft. in diameter. It weighs one ton and is manipulated by a derf rick. Its walls of steel are 7% of an ] inch thick. MONROE NEWS Dr. Somers and family will leave ■ here next Monday morning for Syra • cuse, N. Y. where he will attend Dr. i Potter Medical school for several ■ weeks, from there they will go to New York City, where he will take a post graduate course. Dr. Somers will be absent for about six or eight ) weeks before returning. It is proba- • file that there will be some physician - to take the place during the doctor’s absence. Monroe cannot be without l a doctor, and we are informed that on< will no doubt fill the vacancy. 1 Mrs. Hattie Sells entertained last t Sunday at dinner her children, Mr. ’ and Mrs. W. H.

Mr. and Thomas Oliver and chil- ' dren. of Kalamazoo, visited relatives and friends here this week. . I As Mothers’ Day is -now set down [I in history, why would it not be ap- ' propriate to inaugurate a movement . 1 to celebrate Fathers' Day as well. •IMany large cities and towns have already established a Fathers’ Day set apart for services in honor of Father. I It is just and proper to observe ' Mothers’ Day in her honOr in all due i respect, and no doubt Fathers’ Day 1 would gain popularity, and get many 'of the old reprobates to at least see the inside of a church once each year if no more. Let us have a fathers Day program in the near future. j Twenty-one head of cattle belonging to Fred Christy, Mrs. Caleb Andrews and J. W. McKean, Jr., were tested this week for tuberculosis and all were found by Dr. Alspaugh, of Willshire, Ohio, to be absolutely tuberculosis proof and 0. K. in every respect. A great demand for seed corn has been made since the recent heavy rain and among others, William T. Rupert informs, as within the past few days, he has disposed of 200 bush els and could have sold more if he had it to sell. Many of our farmers are compelled to replant their fields this season. Novel Waterproofing. I Waterproofing cloth by means of the direct application of fresh latex, or sap, has been discovered In Bolivia. The cloth is covered with latex, milk of the rubber tree —the latex must be less than 24 hours old—and then passed over the smoke of an ordinary wood Hire.

Fine Sermon Is Delivered To Graduates (Continued From Page One.) sol to roh us of the sources of comfort and strength. Men need the optimist who sees the good and makes otliers happy by helping them to obtain it, not the pessimist who sees the evil and makes al) about him miserable with his visions of gloom. Construction has real merit. It gives us institutions we can trust and ideas upon which we can depend. "Constn|ctfon is the purpose of life. This is what we are here for. We are not here to destroy, but to fulfill; ndt to sow the seeds of pain, suffering nnd sorrow, but of good will, pence nnd happiness. Man's mission is not to encourage doubts and skeptism. but to inspire faith and hope. He Is to build character. Charge to heredity and environment all the sins you may and give to them all the credit that is due them, nnd still every one is the architect of his own life. He is to build a life after the pattern given in Christ. That will be a life as pure and beautiful as the lily, for he will have the strength to hold the world out of the heart, and to refrain from plunging into the abyss of immortality. He will always do the gracious and noble thing. He will speak the kind and helpful word. That life will be a light in this world and will be prepared to shine with increased brilliancy forever and forever in the life beyond the grave. There is need for men and women who will build homes that are architecturally beautiful. and adorned within with tapestries. works of art, bric-a-brac and products of the cabinet maker, but more, homes where culture and refinement shall have fullest expression and love shall be the supreme law. Homes are to be built whose atmosphere will give the greatest encouragement to soul growth, and whose members are living such open and perfect lives that even their secret thoughts may be revealed to one another —homes from which will go influences and souls that will sweeten and inspire all the lives they meet. “We are the most faithful to the purpose of life when the constructive tendency is always present. Construction is not the purpose of life when we tear down at one place in order to build at another. This is the trouble with some fortune builders. They build a treasury of large proportions, but into the building are wrought not only their own souls, but also those of others. Some men have contributed to the building of literature, but their moral life was sadly deficient. They lifted with one hand and pulled down with the other. Only eternity can declare the balance —tell whether that life was destructive, or constructive. Lives in this manner that are open to question are pot constructive. Members of the class, if you would be true to life’s purpose be constructors of the best type, exercise the greatest care that life both private and public be spent in genuinely constructive activities. "In order to construct certain elements of constructive power are necessary. The golden ages of the Greek and Roman nations were co-existent with their best scholarship. The dark ages came with the going out of the lamp of scholarship, and the dawn of a better day came with the relighting of that lamp. Scholars there have been among inventors from Gutenborgh to Edison, and among discoverers from Columbus to Livingstone and Stanley. Leaders in all the sciences from Pathagoras to Darwin were men of recognized scolarship. Men who have excelled in medicine from Hippocrates to Pastuer enjoyed that distinction. The results of engineering are due to this element of constructive power. The Brooklyn bridge, the Eiffel tower, the Simplon tunnel, the Panama canal and even the Great War were impossible without scholarship. In reforms of all kinds the scholar has been prominent. In those which are civil we have had Crowmell, Adams, Jefferson and Franklin. In one of the great moral reforms we easily think of Wilberforce, Wendell Phillips and Charles Sumner, and in reJigion, Luther and Wesley. There is only one conclusion, namely, scholarship is essential to construction. In the matter of acquiring this element of power, members of the class, you have done well, but you will do better if you will pursue learning until you shall have attained in the largest degree possible. “However, be as scholarly as you may, but devoid of moral power, and you will be of little value to the world. The man who lacks moral balance, whose moral perception is defective will not construct permanently. Moral power has had more to do in making possible the victories of the world than we usually suspect. Every invention, every discovery is the flower of courage back of which is moral power displayed in sacrifice

and suffering necessary to aceom- J pllsh the desired end. The triumphs of art nnd literature have largely' been due to It. Those who have made the largest nnd beat contrtbu-' Hons have been those who have left the excitements of battle, the emoul ments of n business life and the pleasures of society. Physical force Is admired, yet what Is it without that strength which wo call moral? It, wns this that made so terribly effective the mighty engines of war in the great world conflict. It gives a steady nerve, a muscle of Iron, :i clear and brilliant brain. Those pos sessing l It are blind to danger and laugh in the face of death. Savon arola, the Italian monk Is exposing: the corruptions of Ills time, preached purity of life to men reveling in sen sual pleasures and luxurious indifference. He denounced churchmen and censured nobles nnd kings. His oratory which moved men so successfully in the Interest of morals was not purchasable with the gold of a Lorenzo de’ Medici. He was true to the Chi ist. and had moral power to do what, he believed to be right. He did , not go with the crowd, nor was he di- [ verted by criticism. Ho was clothed with moral power. That is indls pensiblo for great tasks and serious, reverses. It enables men, “To struggle when hope is banshed! Tc live when life’s thought is gone! To dwell in a dream that’s vanished! To endure, and go calmly on! “Men who are not born down by adversity, who stand for something, who accomplish things, who can say no at the proper time, who can stand when met by the polished, refined and powerful tempte l ', who can sil ence even by their frown of disapprcval the one who presumes to make a dishonorable proposition, these are men of moral pov\ r. All men have It, but all are capable of greater development. Make faithful use. my friends, of what you possess and apply yourselves diligent!/ in acquiring that measure which will forever assure success. “Names Inscribed on the roll of the world's benefactors are of men who were helped by the acceptance of Christ. Among tnem you will note Taul, the expersecutor, Augustine who was won from the slavery of passion, Luther who was lifted from the state of a beggar to a world lead-! er, Bunyan, the man of blasphemous speech was transformed into the immortal dreamer. These testify to the value of Christ in human life. His presence is the secret of the constructive power revealed in manv lives. From him is the power to resist evil and the impulse to go good; also the consuming determination to respond to evpry call for help and strength to perform labors otherwise impossible. We talk of virtues and excellencies which arc inseparable from the best life and are indispensible in every life that blesses the world as though they were acquired by processes wholly our own. Never were men so mistaken. These spring from and are developed in human life by Christ. Men have only been of worth in the world who have manifested the spirit of the Man of Galilee. “Here, is the glorious triumviratescholarship. moral power and Christlikeness. In these, kind friends you have the essential elements of con structive power. Endowed with them every interest of society will feel your influence. Humanities and charities will have in you proficient supporters. You will be able to assist in building the temple of truth. Your efforts will contribute to the extension of liberty’s rule, and quicken the pace of the world’s activities in the fields of commerce and industry. In establishing the universal reign of brotherhood, peace and happiness you will be of invaluable service. The life which you will live and the labor which you will perform will hasten the dawning of the day when the kingdoms of this world shall have become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. But among the greatest of all your achievements will be the highly developed character which shall shine with the brightness of the sun in this present life, and which shall in the great day pass you with the whtie robed throng to a place before the throne of God where the hosts will sing through the whole of eternity’s day.” Tossin Woman Stops Son From Trading Horses Sheriff Noah Frauhiger was called by Mrs. Grace Clark, of Toscln, Saturday to prevent her son. Raymond, from trading a horse belonging to her, to Lee Kahn, Decatur horse! trader. The boy was found by the sheriff i and arrangements were made with Kahn by which the horse, which had ! already been traded, could be ex-; changed again. Young Clark planned to meet Kahn between here and Decatur Saturday evening and make the ex-. change. i |
