Her smiling little face was a bene-, diction to all .who know her. Innonence an dpurity made up her beauty, but no wher face is lighted up with the glory of Heaven and it is too bright for mortal eyes to behold. Easter Sunday. April 12th, her father and mother presented her to God, in holy baptism and she became a preparatory member of the Methodist Episcopal church. She is now a full member of the Church Triumphant. She became smith nly ill last Sunday ami all efforts to assist her were futii. The Master called for His own Monday morning, April 19th, 1926, at 1:15 a. m., and she answered. She leaves to mourn their loss: a loving and heart-broken father and mother; one grandfather, Ezra Willis of Birds, 111.; five half-sisters, Laura Brown, of Lima, Ohio; Mary Myers, of Fort Wayne; Lillie Viola, of Blue Creek township, and Irene and Roalene Marsh who reside in the home; three half-brothers, John and Oscar Teeple of Blue Creek township, and Albert Teeple of St.. Mary's township and two brothers, Harvey Leroy and James Virgil who reside at home. Also two uncles and si* aunts. Surely she hath won her way into the hearts of all. When we see a precious blosom That we 'tended with such care, Rudely taken from our bosom. How our aching hearts despair! 'Round its little grave we linger, | ’Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our hopes haye perished With the flower we etherised so. We shall sleep, but not forever I There will be a glorious dawn: We shall meet to part, no, never, On the resurrection morn! Funeral sei vices were held Tue.- . day afternoon at the Pleasatr. ' i M. E. church. I I-’-" (CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank the neighbors and friends for their kindness and | sympathy during the illness and death of daughter and sister, Maxine, j We als owish to thank Rev. Shipley ; for his consoling words. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Teeple , and family.

WORK OF PUPILS TO BE MEASURED <rn\Tl VI F.I) FROM PAGE ONEI by determining the cause of these cases and affecting a remedy, the schorls will be able to accomplish the most with the money available. With the enthusiastic cooperation of school attendance officers throughout the state, Miss Merry and the state department of public instruction have bee liable, during the past year to complete statistics on every Indiana school with the exception of the Indianapolis public schools. The children of the state have been divided into two groups, according to their location, county and city, and these groups have been sub-divided into four lesser groups; public parochial, private and not in school. The system is already bringing to light the serious retardation cases which are being remedied and which, under the new plan, can not be completed. One of the med serious cases cited by Miss Merry was that of a fourteen-year-old boy who had spent eight years in the first grade. According to Miss Merry, the state has been paying approximately $72 a year to keep the boy in school while he has learned practically nothing. Teachers, under the new system, will be taught to judge ea<-h student individually rather than many of them grouped together and in extreme vases, where the child is unab!e to gain any degree of knowledge through the study of the printed page, teachers will be. told to move it in with its class so that it can. at least, have a chance to learn by association. Many children, unable to learn by study books, can acquire a great deal through.constant association with stu-

dents who are able to got the most out of their printed lessons. Although Hint Is not the primary object of lite child luvoiinllng system. the truants will be more easily apprehended, aicoidlng to Miss Merry. ’’The object Is not only l » catch the truant," Miss Merry declared. "I I Is to find the cause of the truancy “That alone will mean money saved, for applleatlon on other piluses of that school work that now requires extra appropriations from the state tax income. ".Students normally in their school work will not bo affected by the new system of tabulation although they are listed with the others. “The real objective of the child n<counting system will be to find the slowest students, determine the true cause of their retardation ami attempt a remedy for the cause." o Two British Cars Are Entered In 500-Mile Race

Indianapolis, Ind., April 29. —The European invasion of the 500-mile International Sweepstakes ut the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which began way back in 1913, reached its zenith in 1914 and fell away in the following years, is reviving. The latest European race driver to announce his desire to participate in the greatest of all speedway events is E. A. Eldridge, young British sportsman. His entry comes close on the heels of the three Schmidt Specials, made in France. Eldridge’s entry is the first all-Brltish entry to Is- made since 1922, when Douglas Hawkes drove a Bentley into place In the 500-mile race. Incidentally, Hawkes comes as one of the drivers of the two Eldridge Specials, which will ho four-cylinder motors. Eldridge's cars are not revamped European racing machines. Instead, realilzing that conditions at the Indianapolis track are not duplicated on the continent, he has built up the two cars solely for the Indianapolis race. For months all of motor Europe has been discussing Eldridge’s “Indianapolis cars," as they are known across the water. Eldridge, a young man of independent means, has been building h's cars just outside Paris, in his own shop. They are distinguished for their low center of gravity and their streamlining. The height of the car fkom the ground to the top of the cowl is only thirty-one inches. Like the American racing ears, the Eldridge Specials will be euqiipped with a supercharger, a device which forces gas to the engine much faster than it would go nonnally. By this forcefeeding of the gasoline ten or twelve miles and hour gtyater speed is thus put on the cars.
