• Indianapolis, Ind., Aug; 27-~(8peo-lal to Daily Democrat)—“l believe the people of Indiana hive faith in the things Robert J. Aley has stood for as state superintendent of public ’ Instruction in Indiana, and it will be ■ my purpose, if elected, to carry out the work he ha* begun—and along the lines he has mapped out.” This is the testimonial and pledge of Charles A. Greathouse, who has been chosen by the democratic state committee to take the place of Dr. Aley on the state ticket, Dr. Aley having tendered his resignation as a candidate, to accept the presidency of the University of Maine. Dr. Aley has > congratulated Mr. Greathouae and has promised his cooperation. ’ “That Dr. Aley has made a splendid . official is not denied by any man, re- • gardless of party,’’ continued Mr. Greathousa "His record speaks for ’ him and 1 have the highest regard for his ability both as an educator and a business man. These two qualities go rarely hand tn hand, but both are found In Dr. Aley. He has perfected a fine organization in his department and has developed its efficiency. He has brought about various reforms that have saved money for the people of Indiana, and raised educational standards. His administration is well on its way, proceeding along lines that, from his experience, seem to him good. I am familiar with Dr, Aley’s purposes and aims in, part, and in the eveht of my election *>s his successor, the people of -Indiana will have, as nearly as possible, just what he bad Intended to give them." Mr. Greathouse conferred with Dr. Aley yesterday and discussed with him the various educational movements started by Dr. Aley. He will spend the next two or three weeks getting in close touch with the affairs of the office and through this method, with the present needs Os the schools of the state. It is Mr. Greathouse’s belief that the people are coming more and more to demand a business administration of any public office. Dr. Aley has shown his appreciation of this by Instituting reforms that wrought an immediate and substantial profit by the state. In this feature of the work Mr. Greathouse is highly qualified. Following his years of service in behalf of education, he has devoted himself to business pursuits, giving them a large part of his attention for the last three or four years. His connection with the People’s Baifk and Trust Company at Mt. Vernon ii only one evidence of his knowledge W business methods. He assisted in the organization of the bank and Whs Its flrat president, having been later reelected in the very face of his 'resignation. < He has accumulated large property Interests and at the present time holds an active partnership In the firm of Files & Greathouse, doing a cash grain business. “The people of Indiana, as elsewhere,” said Mr. Greathouse, “are de-' manding that the affairs of public office be administered with the same care and business principles that govern private enterprise. They like to know that the man in this or that office regards the money that passes •hrc”"' h Ms ’"’r.dV their money—money for which he must show the best results. While it would be, my primary purpose to maintain the present high educational standard, I would expect to make my administration a business administration should I be elected. “There would be no overthrowing of the present order of things as established by Dr. Aley. I believe what he has been doing and has contemplated has ths thorough approval of the people of Indiana, and I would carry hfe Ideas to fulfillment to the best of my ability.” * - . -• Mr. GYeathouse’s ability as an.educator is beyond question. ■- And, he is in thorough sympathy with one of the great problems now confronting the educators of Indiana —that of providing adequately for the country school. After his college course Mr. Greathouse taught for years in the country schools and has learned at first hand just what they need. He knows wherein they are lacking and is qualified to give intelligent effort toward"the solution of this problem. There fs not a department of educational work in which he is not thoroughly conversant through personal experience. His work as principal of the Mt. Vernon high-school gave him Insight futo a new field. From this he went to the superintendency of the schools of Posey county, being elected time after time, until he has served ten years, This work he finally ended by .resigning. With his long experience in educational matters and his subsequent success in the business world, he is unusually well qualified to discharge the duties of the office of superintendent of public instruction with credit to himself and his party, and with satisfaction to the people of Indiana. Personally, Mtz Greathouse is s man who makes friends wherever he goes. He is cordial, out-spoken, and oaMly approached. He is not an office-1

seeker and ha. accepted th. position as candidate for superintendent of pubstye instruction only because his friends and the members of the state committee believed him to be the best man. He has a succeasfuKtand profitable business in Indianapolis and is taking up his candidacy at a personal sacrifice. He was nominated Thursday afternoon. He returned from St Louis Thursday morning and knew nothing of the fact that he was being considered for the place until ■ informed at that time by tome of his friends. He told them that he was not a candidate and that he could not accept the place. He was nominated despite this objection and receiving the honor in this way, felt that he could not decline. Mr. Greathouse is a fighter and will enter the campaign With enthusiasm. Being once in, he is going to devote himself with all his might. That’s the way he’ll campaign, and that’s the way he’ll conduct the office of state superintendent if it is Ae will of tiie people of Indiana that he shall have it. ■— ' "■'■W ■' 1 '*■ The sixth annual reunion of the Miller family, which was heir Thursday at the beautiful country home of Theodore Beatty, was one of the pleasant social events of the week. About one hundred of the members and friends of the family joined in the festivities and all seemed to enjoy themselves to the utmost, especially when dinner time came. The table, which was sixty feet long, fairly groaned under the weight ,of chicken and all the good things imaginable, and each did ample justice to the same. The next in order was a musical and literary program, which was highly appreciated by all. It opened with a song; prayer by Rev. Lower; song; welcome address, by G. W. Mil- 1 ler; music by the orchestra; recitations by Floyd Turner and Sylvia Beatty; song; address, Mr. Dore B.

Miss Stella Wemhoff delightfully entertained in honor of Miss Gertrude Cunningham, one of the brides of the season. There were fourteen in the party. A trip was planned to Stoner’s mIR, which the party, took in spite of the rain. A splendid chicken dinner was enjoyed by every one, the rain seeming to increase the merriment rather than diminish it.—Fort Wayne New®. i The Glock and Beck families, of Weils county held their family reunion at the Robinson park at Fort Wayne today, and a large number from here were in attendance. They left on the early interurban cars, taking their dinners with them and where they spent the,; day. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Foreman, sr., and Mr. and Mrs. Henry Foreman, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Charles and Emanuel Snitz and Mrs. Dr. Sprunger and babe from Berne were among the many in attendance. Mr. and Mrs. Alden Coulter of Sixth street are in receipt of a letter from her cousin, August Rustarholz, stating that he was tq .be united in marriage today to a young lady of GreenfleM. He did not mention the time or place I of the wedding, only tnat it was to occur. They are expected to arrive in this city some time next week for a visit with friends on their way to Michigan, where they will spend some time at the lakes. The class of 1908 will hold a reunion at the home of Miss Helen Evans, north of the city, next Saturday, a week from today. At that time the different members of the class who are away from the city will return and ■ .good time i. i anticlpated. 7 .• ’•'••-J..- >' .’A-

It is not difficult to know wherein I Indiana’s schools excel all others of the United States, if all other countties are as weu represented in the educational world as Adams county was Monday a; m., in the large number of bright-faced, intellectual, wide-awake progressive teachers from all parts of the county, Who assembled for the annual teachers’ institute which convened this morning at 9:80 o’clock in the lecture room of the Methodist church. That the town was given over to the teachers this week was evidenced/frem the beginning of the morning, as trains from all directions brought in large numbers of teachers and students, bearing that unmistakable scholarly look, and the assembly at the institute room at opening time this morning gave assurance of an unusually large attendance which cannot but result in a correspondingly great interest and a meeting of unprecedented pleasure and profit. All teachers but twelve were present at the opening session. A great many of the Instructors who will have charge of the institute work during the five days’ session, closing Friday, were in attendance at the opening this morning, and more will arrive from time to time during the week. County Superintendent L. E. Opllger, who has spared no effort to make the institute this year the best in the county’s history, opened the morninfg session by announcing the giknd old song, “America,” and as its words, to the accompaniment played by Miss Bess Schrock, the institute's pianist, Were pealed forth, It needed but little vision to see that the teachers and educational workers Os Adams coiliity would do what they could for the advancement 'of the county and state, but,of grand. ' old America, as well. The devotional services were conducted in a sincere and impressive manner by the Rev. Charles Ehle, pastor of the Baptist church, who read the nineteenth Psalm, showing nature’s great text book, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shoWeth his handiwork.” This was followed by an earnest prayer, after which the regular institute work followed, whicn is best told in the following notes, contributed by the secretary, E. C. Runyon, assistant principal of the Linn Grove schools: Monday Morning. Institute opened by singing “America,” followed by the devotional exercises by Rev. Charles We, he using for the lesson the nineteenth Psalm. Song, “Jerusalem the Golden.” Superintendent Opllger gave a short sdHtesß of welcome to the teachers; He asked each one to write a friend to attend. "Education and Civilization,” by Dr. Charles D. Hoyt, of, tite Michigan State normal. "I wish |p bring loving greetings from the state of pines and ores, to a state which has a school system, which has produced presid’ents.” The great word of the Century is evolution. We are living in an age in which things are moving. We can-! not compare the schools of today with ! the schools of fifty years ago. Feel.,ing is the primitive and principal data, the thing to work for, the thing to look forward to. We are more or less superstitious, for it is part of our life. Through the efforts of explorers we are able to go over the world and find human beings in every stage of development We have five Institutions as the basis of civilization. They are: The home, school, vocation, state and church. The boy is like the bulb of the plant; it is to be evolved. My alm and ideal is to be a great teacher. I am going to hold before you this week, the names of Rbsseau, Pestalossi, Froebel, Herbert and Horace Mann, the headlights to evolution. Music, by Professor Otto Miessner. I know that you country teachers arej crowded with work, but if you only have five minutes' time, be sure and sing. It livens- the school.; The secret of Germany being the most musical of all' nations lies in the Folk Songs. The child must have a’ singing vocabulary to order to sing as well as a speaking vocabulary in order to read. The home should be a singing home. You will get just as much out of music as you will put into it "What Grammar is and What it is For,” by Professor George W. Neet, of Valparaiso University, m behalf of the Adams county teachers and state, I wish to accept the greetings from Michigan. Grammar is a lan£uage subject. Ode of the best inventions the human race has ever invented is that of articulate language. Every subject has its unit of investigation. It is necessary that this be true. The language units are the word, sentence and discourse. There is something wrong with our spelling. Teachers! Send us (qt the university) boys, that can spell. The wordstudies are divided into orthography, orthoepy, entymology and lexicology. The language-study is divided into grammad. The discourse-studies are 1 the finished and the making. We must remember that we had language a long, long time before we had gram-

The committee included Clyde Rice, Walter Johnson, Roy Wolford, Fred Schurger, Sam Shamp, "Frank McConnell, Eli Meyer, Clifford Haughton, men of many and various talents, who will provide a well-round-ed-out order of entertainment Among the many speakers will be John D. Volz of Indianapolis, state deputy; A. F. Hoffmelster, district deputy, of Fort Wayne; T. W. Capeland of Lima, Ohio, a deputy from that state; Attorneys C. L. Walters and D. B. Erwin, prominent workers in the local order. There will be music by the newly organized Woodmen orchestra and quartet, under the management of Roy Wolford; there will be a ball game between the Decatur and Monroe Woodmen camps; a dance morning and evening in the pavilion, under the direction of Fred Schurger, the master dance-master; and many other features. Among the very special numbers will be a fancy drill, put on in the morning by the Decatur Royal Neighbors, and also one by the Fort Wayne Royal Neighbors’ degree team. The Fort Wayne team will no doubt be a fine attraction, as it is now preparing to enter the United States drill contest at Buffalo in October, and will put on the drill to be given by them here in competing for national honors. 'Refreshments of all kinds can be obtained upon the grounds and nothing is being left undone to make the event one of pleasure. Thousands will be in attendance, as not only Modern Woodmen and their families and Royal Neighbors and their families, but their friends, also, are invited, and these include every member of the public. Special invitation has been given to the camps at Bluffton, Monroe, BerneGeneva, Tocsin, Ossian and the Fort Wayne camp, as well as the Edwards camp of that city. The Interurban win accommodate the public by giving them thirty-minute service on that. day. Every one should attend. j 1; I" 1 1110 1 ' I' l .' 1 ' In nearly every home in the county there are various articles which would secure for you a handsome premium, if it were only taken to the Great Northern fair. This is so simple and easy that it is a' wonder that the art department is not much larger in display bach year than it is. Thinking perhaps that many do not understand just how to go about making an fit- • hlbit we offer a suggestion or two. Get a premium list. There you will find that each article listed has a number. If you wish to make an entry, find tiie number that your article is to be entered under, then write the sec- . retary of the fair, giving him the various numbers which you will exhibit, so that when you reach the fair grounds he will have your entry tags for you. Take your articles to the fair grounds Monday or Tuesday. If the cash premiums you ask total five dollars you will be required to buy an exhibitor’s ticket, which, entitles you to admission all during the fair, and costs one dollar. Get your display ready this week. Don’t wait until the last minute and then crowd in on the secretary because he will be up'to his chin in work any way. ' o • • ••••■ ' •>' y WILL GIVE A SOCIAL. A social will be given on Thursday evening ot tbis week at the home of John Shafer in Union township, a half mile south 'of the Allen county line.
