Particulars are lacking but it is understood that the demand will be for a flat 10 per cent advance from the schedule now paid. Announcement was made by the Pennsylvania railroad Monday that within a short time it will have a total of 2,872 all-steel passenger cars in use on its lines. This is more than one-half of the all-steel passenger equipment in use in the United States and represents an expenditure of About $40,000,000. These cars have been gradually added to the company’s equipment since June, 1906. Rex Warner’s parents have been in daily receipt of letters or postal cards from him since he left with Sam Sparling last week for the south, making an overland trip in Sam’s auto. They stopped the first night in Indianapolis, the second in Louisville, the third at Cave City, the fourth at Bowling Green and on Monday night had reached Murfreesboro, 30 miles south of Nashville, Tenn. They have had a fine trip. Rex said in a letter that he had traveled over some mighty fine roads and some that he hoped were the worst on earth. They visited Mammoth Cave, and also the Kentucky home of Abraham Lincoln and points all the way afong. Rex will probably make the entire trip to Demopolis now, returning home the latter part of the week. $ Miss Tillie Ramp returned this afternoon from Chicago, where she has been with her sister.

THE JUDGE UNBENDS.

Oat of His Jurisdiction He Shouts Encouragement To His Fighting Son. There was once an Indiana judge Who was proud of two things: His stern advocacy of the majesty of the law, and the pugilistic ability of his son. These two hobbies came into violent cbnflict once, but the problem was happily solved. It happened that the judge’s farm was on the Ohio boundary, and one day be Was sitting on a fence that separated the two States. While he was there his son and an acquaintance came along, quarrel!ng, atrd, when immediately in front of the judge, began to fight. The Judge straightened himself to his full official dignity, and exclaimed: "In behalf of the majesty of the law, and in the name of the sovereign State of Indiana, I command you both to keep the peace!” Just at that moment the rail upon which the judge was sitting gave way and dropped him on the Ohio side of the fence. Instantly regaining his feet, and with an impetus of vociferation that eloquently proclaimed his partisanship, he shouted to his son: ‘‘Give him ‘hail Columbia,’ Jim! I’m out of my jurisdiction.”

SUMMER LO. E.

Madge—So you’re engaged to Charlie? Dolly—Yes; but it doesn’t begin until to-morrow when his old girl’s vacation is up.

The Two Alternatives.

"We get some sad cases,” said the attendant at the lunatic asylum to the visitor, and opened the door to the first cell. Inside was a man sitting on a stool and gazing vacantly at the wall. “Sad story,” said the attendant; "he was in love with a girl, but she r married another man, and he lost his reason from grief.” They stole out softly, closing the door behind them, and proceeded to the next inmate. This cell was thickly padded, and the man within waa stark, staring mad. “This,” replied the attendant, ‘this is the other .man.” \

Chronological Coherence.

A well-known clergyman of Boston, was once talking to some f with reference to the desirability of Chronological coherence in ideaß, in the form of written statement, when he observed that there are times when his method becomes a trifle too suggestive. "For instance,” said the speaker, "I once heard a minister in New Hampshire make his usual Sunday morning announcement as follows: 'The funeral of the late and much lamented sexton takes place on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock. Thanksgiving services will <be held in this on Thursday morinng at 11 o’clock.”

What Troubled Pat.

An old Irish laborer walked into the luxurious studio of a New York artist, and asked for money to obtain a meal, as he was too weak to work. The artist gave him a quarter and then, seeing possibilities for a sketch in the queer old felfow, said: “I'll give you a dollar if you’ll let me paint you.” "Sure,” said the man, "it’s an eksy way to make a dollar, but, but— l’m wonderin’ how I’d get it off.”

The High-Handed Courts.

Mrs. Galey (with newspaper, angrily): “It’s a crying shame to way those high courts pay no attention whatever to the ’wishes of the people! Such high-handed proceedings I never heard tell of.” Mr. Galey: "What’s the trouble now, dear?” Mrfl. Galey: "Why, in that Faasett divorce case the court decided the names of the correspondents should not be made public!”

No Coffin, Just Bath Tub.

"Why did you cross yourself then?” he asked aVthey went along the dark street. _ "I’m afraid of death,” said she, ‘so I’m always very respectful when there are any signs of it. I crossed myself when we passed that white coffin in the window.” "Gut that wasn’t a coffin,” said to. "It was a bathtub.”- —New York ■ ■ >—A ,

Riches in Sight.

"I’m working on something now," said the inventor, "that will make pae rich.'’ "What is it?" asked his friend. "An alarm clock for commuters. Instead of ringing it makes » noise like an 8.17 a. at. train pulling out the Button."

PLAN FOR BETTER HIGH SCHOOL COURSE

Meeting of Superintendents Discussed Vocational Education —Report by Superintendent Clarke. * There was an interesting meeting of the Indiana City and Town School Superintendents’ Associ&tion at Indianapolis the first week of this month. The subject of chief interest at this meeting was that of vocational education. The first evening was given over to an address by C. E. Cooley, formerly superintendent of the public schools of Chicago. Mr. Cooley has recently returned from Europe, where he was sent by an organization of| Chicago business men for the purpose of making a study of the vocational schools across the water, particularly those in Germany, Mr. Cooley believes that we should provide a great deal more vocational ‘education than we do. He would not do away with our present system of schools, but modify and add to them. Not only should we provide secondary schools and colleges for those who can attend them but we should also provide technical vocational instruction for those young people who for any reason can not continue in the present schools longer than their fourteenth year. For those children who must at this age drop out and go to work the state, he thinks, should provide schools which will afford instruction in the Special lines of work i£hese children are interested in. These schools, he thinks, should he supported by special taxes, should lNfc independent of the present system of schools and be compulsory for all pupils under eighteen. He would not require pupils over fourteen to be in school all the time, but would so arrange the work of the school that pupils'"could attend the school at certain hours of the day when not occupied with the duties of their vocation. Pupils who could not afford to do otherwise could thus work at some vocation and get instruction at odd hours. Mr. Cooley’s address awakened much interest and prepared the way for the sessions of the next day, all of which were given over to a discussion of the proposals of the commission under the Yarling Act to inquire into and make suggestions In regard to industrial work in the public schools of Indiana. Farmers, manufacturers,"Tfade-unionists, educators and others were represented on this commission. All urged the introduction of industrial education into the public schools just as fast as equipment and teachers could be supplied. The commission has embodied its suggestions in the form of a hill which will be presented to the next legislature. This hill was read to the association and discussed. It provides ways and means whereby school corporations of the state desiring to do so may introduce industrial training into their school systems. The idea of Mr. Cooley, that industrial education should be provided in special schools separate from the regular public schools, was not adopted by this commission. The bill proposes generous state aid to communities providing such instruction and carefully considers the matter of equitable distribution of this aid. The discussions were all interesting. There was no one of the speakers who opposed the introduction of industrial education into the public schools. Prof. Levitt, of the University of Chicago, an indefatigible, intelligent and enthusiastic advocate of industrial education in the public schools, braised the work of the commission highly, saying that if this hill became a laW Indiana would have made better provision for industrial education than any other state in the union. It therefore behooves all friends of industrial education to get behind this bill and help push it. The night session consisted chiefly of an address by. Prof. C. A. Prosser, of New York. Prof. Prosser is an eiy' thusiast in behalf of industrial education. He came out very definitely and positively in favor of training children for wage-earning and took the farther step of insisting that this training must he such as to fit the child to go immediately from the school to the shop, or the bench, or to whatever vocation the school has fitted him for. Time and money should not be wasted in fitting children for a vocation they do not expect to enter. Like the other-speakers, Prof. Prosser was not urging industrial education for all pupils. It is for children who can not, or will not, take advantage of the schools as now organized. Some other matters came up for discussion at this meeting, but most of the time was given to the consideration of the above matters. It was very manifest that industrial education, is the next step forward in the school work -of Indiana. It will take time, thought and experimentation to solve all the problems connected with its introduction, but they will be solved. One of jhe pressing problems is that of teachers prepared to do the new work. And this will be a problem for a good many years. Men who have sufficient practical knowledge of the subject and requisite skill in imparting knowledge are rare in this new field and are already in demand outside of the school room and at good wages. They are therefore hard to obtain. Doubtless in the rush to keep up with the times many teachers will be put in charge of industrial training who have very little qualification for the work and the time of the pupils and the money of the public will thus he very largely wasted. Another serious problem is that of determining iwhat industrial activities shall be made the subject of school room instruction at public expense. There are many vocations. The school cannot give specific and valuable instruction in all of them. Which ones shall it single out 1 and adopt? Shall it educate plumbers at the expense of the public and not sign painters or plasterers This is not an easy problem. Just now carpenters, iron workers and farmers are being favore£ by the educationalists. Boys ex-

Evangelistic Meetings, The union meetings continue to move forward with signs of power and increased interest. The attendance last evening was larger than the evening before. The visible results are not what we had hoped for or expected., The churches are helped through these meetings, in that the communitq cause becomes a common cause and the Christian forces are cemented together, thus forming a united force to move against a common enemy. The individual will be helped in these meetings »only in so for as he appropriates for his own use those things which appeal Jo his better nature. If the Christian will return to his own individual church with renewed energy_and put into practice those things which appeal to him when under the influence of the gospel message then he will be helped. If on the other hand he refuses to respond to the call of his inner consciousness he will not be as strong as he was before. If the sinner who comes night after night refuses to put into operation the forces which are quickened by thp gospel appeal will soon find that the gospel has lost its charm to him. This does not mean that the gospel has lost any of its power, but that you have killed the best and noblest nature that God has given to you. These meetings continue all this week in the Methodist church. Miss Berry continues to sing the gospel each night. Her solos are features of these meetings which lend a charm and cast a spell of sacredness over the entire audience which in itself is enough to make one experience a feeling of respectability, which should create a desire for a better and cleaner life. An audience furnishes material on which to work and a crowd gives increased inspiration. Give us a crowd tonight, one of which number you will be. *
