forty pupils in that one crude, teaching them all their subjects. Ou the other hand there are some definitely opposing factors I which would work to a disadvan | tage for girls and boys and for I »helr parents, for citizens and taxpayers ot the school corporations ! concerned, and it is our purpose herein to set forth these disadvantages ahd opposing factors. In the first place be it understood that the school at Monroe ’ is not a Monroe school. The build- [ jug itself is not even wXhln the i corporation of Monroe. This school , placed outside the corporation Um- , its of the town of Monroe, is strictly and entirely a township school. Further, the residents of the town of Berne do not now pay one cent of tax toward the support of the 1 Monroe township schools unless 1 they own property within the townI ship outside the corporation of I I Berne. A village community no larger ', than Monroe finds much of its "identity in its schools and its churches. Persons moving into the community have purchased homes aud have fettled there with a view ' at being dose to school. There is not a great amount of industrial . life to attract the people iu that ' direction. Therefore, if the high school were moved from the com- ’ munlty, it would result in the loss I of identity of the community, it would break the community spirit and Would work havoc on the so- .! clal and feligious life. .' No school gives all that a child - needs for complete mental aud 1 spiritual development. Character cannot be builded alone on a foundation of reading, writing and ari ithmetic. Let the school be moved from the Monroe community and { the interests of the young folks 1 will become divided, conflicts will arise between school and church I programs with a consequent letdown in the interest of young peo-

pie 11l the work of the church at home. With a lack of contact the. 1 church cannot do Its work for the i young people and there will be a I lack in character development. With our schools respectively I the size they now are it is not so ' difficult to plan a program avoidi ing conflicts between the work of the church and the work of the | school. There can be cooperation ! under our present set-up. However, allow a merger to go into effect anj we will find that conflicts are unavoidable. There will be so many more churches involved, so many more individual students with varying interests, and the strength of an enlarged faculty so that the school could ride roughshod over the program of the respective churches, or the church would totally disregard the program of the school and harm would result. I This is one of the most import-' I aut disadvantages of the proposed! plan. It does not involve on church I i alone, but every church w ithin the j territory to be considered. Perhaps the next most important factor is that regarding the' coming of the "County Unit" system for school administration. There has been a movement on ! foot for sveral years on the part 'of legislators to enlarge the administrative unity for school control. At each session of the State Legislature the township trustees of the respective counties journey enmattae to the State House, Indianapolis, and organize a power-! ful lobby to kill legislation which will replace their jobs with some more effective system of school administration. The very fact that for years this plan of school control has repeatedly come to the front and that State Legislators give it lengthy consideration proves that the people favor such a move. But. the township trustees turn out 100 per cent to defeat, that which would result in a general saving to the people and in greater efficiency in administration. The day is not far off howev. er, when the effectiveness of this lobbying will be no more and then a larger unity of control will come into effect. At present there are three good school buildings ih Adams county, outside the city of Decatur. These three school buildings are erected in the extreme southern tier of townships, at least 21 miles from the northern boundary of the county. If a school of proportions dfesired by the Berne school board were erected in Berne it would place a fourth good building within six miles of the south-

the front giving lovely color. The “Homburg variation” is a modern tribute to the "horseless ca> riage” days. “Bicycle sailor" hats, chic and attrac tive. are infinite in their variety this season, j >dr ing from present showing"

t[ern boundary of the county, and at >1 least 18 miles from the northern : boundary. Certainly it takes no L great amount of reason to imined- ! lately comprehend the folly of r such a move at this moment, es- , pecially when Monroe is the geo- . graphical center of the county, [ and there is such a wide area around Moiiroe which is not serv--11 ed by any adequate school system. J Then, too, there will arise the problem of working out a school ’ program which will give the girl ’ and boy who rides a school bus F like advantages with those who! .I will live within walking distance J of the school. Those girls and boys . who must be transported will of • necessity leave school in the even- .) ing as soon as school is dismissed. ' Under the present school plan the I pupils of the Berne school turn 'out a good basketball team with-' ! out the help of rural students. No doubt, if a merger is effected the town girls and boys, who can walk home, will be asked to stay for 30 J or 40 minutes to practice for this event or that, and consequently would be given preferences when it came to rendering special parts in programs or appearing on some ‘ athletic card. In a system where the girls and boys for the most part ’ are transported and come from the I rural districts there is no possi-. bility of working extra time after school Every girl and boy has like opportunity in the training afforded by extra curricular activities. Another question of interest to school patrons, especially farmers,' is, would there be eight or nine i months of school under the proposed plan? Most farmers whose boys are old enough to attend high: school feel that they need the boys at home in the autumn and in the spring of each year for rush work. They want their boys to have the advantages of education, but isl . their boys can get the education within eight months out of each year it is better for the farm ■ plans. To be true, the school board, under the proposed plan would have the decision as to whether or not there should be eight or nine month of school, but be it remem-, bered that said school board would be town controlled, for the pfan: provides that the town council of Berne would appoint both the town representatives on the school board and the representative from the township as well, and the population of the town of Berne is large enough to swing the election! of a township trustee.. Thus, the.' will of the townsfolk would pro-! ( vail iu all policies regarding the |

control and administration of the school, yet the country people would be paying the heavier end of the bill to get the plan into operation. The financial side of this question is not to be lightly considered. Os course, the girls and boys should be given the best advantages possible with any reasonable outlay of expense, but there ' is no need to plunge unnecetssar- , ily into a great financial burden. The proposal of the Berne school board asks for a building which will cost |142,000 to be erected in Berne. This makes no provision for repairs and necessary additions | to the building in Monroe which ! will mount to several thousands of dollars if these girls and boys are to be given equal advantages with the students who would be ' transported to Berne. There is nothing said about the cost of pur- ' chasing at least eleven new school, buses to transport such studentsThese school buses, of the type now required by law, cost well over SI4OO each. There is nothing said concerning the increased cost| in salaries for nine months of! ‘ schools. There is no allowance; ni ade for the salaries of bus driv- ! ers. If we can be patient and coop-, 1 ' erate as a township to bring about i the “County Unit” control for schools it will not be long until our rural girls and boys will have I all the advantages claimed for them in this plan, and the plant ’ erected at that time would fit in with the program then established. I There will then, be no duplication ! 'of building costs. If we plunge into | this a ilia h we may have to double , ■ our efforts and our expenditures | within a few months, or a tew,, years at the most. It is interesting to note that) there is no organized effort out-1 side the corporation ot Berne ask 1 ing for this merger. Evidently it I will result in greater savings to)J , Berne in greater advantages to, 1 the patrons and pupils then than ■ to the residents outside the cor- 1 Iteration of Berne. Monroe town- ■ ship can erect fls own school alone i at no greater cost to the township I than for it to go into this enter- I prise.

And if you are honest politically, you generally are honest In every other way.” Mr. Roosevelt, the vice president, and Farley sat on a dais for three before the assembled Democrats, governors, senators, and party officials from all ovr the nation. Mayor Kelly of Chicago, Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsylvania, Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan, and Miss Dewson made brief microphone appearances but the big banquet spots were saved for the presidnt and Fearly. “The only label appropriate for this occasion,” the president said, I “is ‘Jim Farley and his friends.’ History has recorded and will con--1 tinue to record a great many ini teresting facts about Jim. In due time history will talk out loud f about his younger days of local public service to his town and his I county and his state. It will talk about his organizating of campaigns; it will speak of his fine service as the administrator ot an important department of the federal government. “It may even add his name to the distinguished list of major l prophets. Even as the name of i William Jennings Bryan sometimes suggests the arithmetic of sixteen to one, so perhaps the name of Jim Farley will suggest the more modern arithmetic of forty-six to two. "Blit when history is written, after all of us have passed from the scene, there will be something moreTmportant than the chronicle I of success in accomplishment.' Loyalty will be written thre —that loyalty to friends w-Tiich results in loyalty from friends. Honor and decency will be written there —the honor and decency which have done much to raise the standard's of public service in our nation. “Jim would not like it if I were to say ‘we love him for the enemies he has made,' but I can tell him that we love him for the friends he has made —men, women, and children, regardless of party, in every community of every one of our 48 states, including Maine and Vermont.” The crowd cheered that reference to the two states which went Republican last November and had their chance at them singly when committee secretary Lawrence J. Roberts called the roll. Boos piled on boos when he shouted for the representatives of Maine ami later of Vermont to stand. But when Gov. Louis J. Brann of Maine rose before the crowd the boos changed to cheers as they did when national committeeman F. A Duffy took a bow for Vermont.

when he spoke a brief tribute to | Farley. The cheers reflected the administration’s' appreciation ot his mediation of the General Motors strike. If any Democrats were in doubt about Mr. Roosevelt's attitude toward Murphy that doubt ended when the president sought him out among a crowd, clasped both tne governor's hands aud spoke earnestly in his ear. “He has done a job,” said toastmaster Garner in introducing Murphy. "In the last two weeks he has brought about a peace that does our government credit.” The Democrats yelled their approval. Gov. Earl Injected the supreme court issue into the dinner with an announcement that the Pennsylvania house of representatives had just approved a resolution endorsing the president’s plan and that the state senate soon would do so. Discussion of that uppermost political issue ended there. Farley blushed from beginning to end of the dinner, great blushes that spread over his face to his bald head. But his reddest moment was when Miss Dewson pinned upon him a rose and said: “We not only say it with flowers, Jim, but we say it with a kiss,” she said. DELAY ACTION tCONTINUED FRO.V. .
