Miss Myrtle York was the hostess Tuesday afternoon to about thirtyfive of her young lady friends, at her home on, Milroy avenue. The occasion was an announcement party, announcing her engagement to Ray Parks, of this city, and proved, a great surprise to. the unsuspecting guests. The manner in which the announcement was made was novel, to say the least. Six-handed progressive euchre was played. On the joker of each deck the following announcement was neatly inscribed: “Myrtle to Raymond, August 26, 1912.” . So unexpected was the .announcement that it was some tinre before the guests grasped the meaning of the words. Miss York Ts the daughter of Mrs. Emma J. York, of this city, and is one of the social leaders among the younger set. Mr. Parks. is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Parks, and is employed at <the W. J. Wright furniture store.

The party was given on the lawn and porch and proved a very enjoyable affair. Games and contests furnished the chief amusement of the evening, prominent among which was guessing automobile names. Thomas Padgltt won a large Rensselaer pennant, which was the prize for the best guesser. Refreshments, consisting of ice cream, nuts and cake, were served.

The beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Honan on North Front street, was to have been the scene of a lively time last night The occasion was to have been a candy-making and slumber party and was planned by Mrs. Honan for about fifteen young ladies who are members of her Sunday school clads of the M.

URGES FULL YEAR AS SCHOOL TERM.

State Superintendent Favors Laws Providing Twelve Months Work For Pupils in Cities.

Laws providing for continuing the terms of the public schools of Indiana cities practically throughout the entire twelve months of every year, and doing away with the summer vacations now customary, are favored by Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction. He declared that he believes the taxpayers will welcome such an innovation, and said that he is strongly in favor of proposing some such legislation before the 1913 General Assembly. Wholesale reforms in the methods of regulating the length of terms in the city schools of Indiana may be provided in legislation contemplated by Superintendent Greathouse and the state board of education. ” Mr. Greathouse argues that the ancient system of breaking up the school year into ‘terms and allowing the school buildings and teachers to remain idle for long periods in the summer months should be abolished, and that a new era, embracing a system very nearly akin to the German system of school government, should be instituted if Indiana is to keep its rank in the forefront of the educational circles of the United States. Mr. Greathouse says that at least a half-day school session during the summer months, particularly In the larger cities, should be devoted to industrial and domestic educatiofi.
