So serious was his crash, that within a few minutes after it happened, news of his death had been Hashed throughout the country. Before the trackside physicians ascertained that he was still alive, newspapers were on the streets with his printed obituary. Then the reports were minimized from death to a broken back, then fractured legs and finally the truth came out. Jerry had a sprained ankle. Like a ghost of other days he now stalks about the track and is known in the racing camp a.-, lie- phantom speed demon. Wunderlich, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has been wheeling automobiles for many year Beared on a farm in Illinois, lie discovered early in life that plow horsts would be too slow for him. so he turned to racing automobiles.

the agricultural home economics clubs of their < ommunities, had an endless variety of instruction and entertainment in the round-up as a reward for their good wofk in the dubs haci: home. Three hundred otherS attended the Industrial round-up al the same time. The round up came as a sori of culnrination of the efforts of about J.-.uito Hoosier laus :>nd lassies in dull work during the past year. A large majority of the 2.013 registered here came with their expenses paid by 1 lo< al farm bureaus, banks, chambers ; of commerce, luncheon dubs and similar organizations. However, quite a 1 number served luncheons or mt/ils before various groups to earn their expenses, and they resorted to various ways of raising money, if it wa . not forthcoming locally. The instructional work was large ly in the nut me of judging or demon stration contest, althoughl there were talks by various members of the Pardue staff and others. Each day s pro gram fur the boys was started with a plunge in the university swimming pool: the ent re group saw the Purdue Notre Dame hall game; were guests at national inspection of the university R. O. T. : at special livestock show; also at the annual “open house" of the university engineering ischools, and at a special athletic exhibition staged in the new Ross-Ade Stadium. A few mote than 300 hoys, members of the industrial and manual trailing vocational in city schools, showed their interest in tlie chili work by attending an industrial round-up held at the same time. These boys were given the same entertainment program as the agricultural and home economics' groups and they had excellent displays of the products of their v.ood and machine shops, drawing rooms .print shops and foundries. A complete stove made by a 15-year-old Italian boy from "Frohel School at Gary was a feature especially worthwhile. It is planned next year to put the industrial exhib.t also on a competitive basis. The many contests and entertainment features, coupled with talKs by such men as President E. C. Elliott. Dean J. H. Skinner, Director G. I. Christie, Vocational director Z. M.

j. •- -- ... — - — (’ounty Superintendents To Be Fleeted lune I i Indianapolis. May 16 —Educational 1 interest in Indiana is at the present time centered in the election of county superintendents throughout the state. The law provides for the election of county superintendent of schools by the trslees of each county on the first Monday In June, that date falling on June 1 this year. it is reported that there are a numbei of candidates for the office in each county, although In many counties this list has been greatly reduced in the past few days tis a result of party caucuses. The office of county superintendent was created by law in 1873, although prior to this date various acts had controlled the election of school commissioners. The office of county superintendent has been the subject of much legislation since the passage of lhe original l:rw in 1873, in an effort to eliminate some of the disadvantages incident to the office, such as the inode of election, insufficient pay, luck of professional standards. Under the law of 1923, amended In the recent legislature, to be qualified ; , for the office of county superintendent. one must have had three years' - experience in the public schools and inns; hold either first or second grade superintendent or principal licenses and a degree from -a four-year standard normal or college. The only exception made to these requirements are those who have served as superintendents of counties, cities and towns four years out of the last twelve preceding March 9. 1925. Less than half of the present county superintendents are high school graduates. reports compiled by Robert K. Devrieks, director of teacher licenses of the state department of public instruction. show. Os the n'nety-two officials. forty-four are high school grad-* nates, twenty-one have had some high school training, while twenty-seven npver attended high school. The average college training for lhe county superintendent is two amt onethird years. Eighteen have had no I college training; thirty-four have had | two years or less; thirty-four have ‘ had between two anti four years; while six have hail more than four years college or nortn.4l work. The average time served by the county superintendent is seven and six-tenths years. Forthy-three superintendents are now completing their first term, twenty-on* are ending their sixteen are serving their third Term. nine their fourth, one his fifth, and two their seventh term. The salaries of county superinten- j dents vary widely. The law pre- ' scribes a minimum of $1,500 per year. The average salary for the state is $2,300. seventy-two out of tlie ninetytwo receiving less than $2,500, fifteen | of this number being paid less than j $2,000. The average number of teachers ■ under each county superintendent is 122. the total for the state being 11.258 I In discussing the coming election of county superintendents. Mr. Devrieks says: ‘‘Tlie election on the first Monj tlay in June of this year gives the county boards an opportunity to se-1 lect superintendents who are ade-l quately trained. Unfortunately the 1 law permits the election of superin-1 tendents who are not prepared for :plministrative work. The township trustees should m ike a sincere effort to choose the best men available. Residence, political affiliations and personal considerations should not influence the elections. Candidates should be considered impersonally and a sincere attempt made to elect persons that are not only eligible but eminently qualified.”
