EVERY PATRON OF SCHOOLS INVITED

And All Interested in Modern Progressive Education Should Hear Prof. Frank Leavitt.

The public schools, have been able to secure the services of Prof. Frank Leavitt, of the University of Chicago, for a talk on Industrial Education. There is no better authority on this subject. Prof. Leavitt speaks from years of experience in important and responsible positions and from personal observation and inquify. Industrial education is the one phase of education which is uppermost in the minds of the people at the present time. Two years ago the Indiana legislature made provision for a commission to investigate industrial conditions in Indiana.and report on some plan for industrial education in connection with the public schools. At the last session of the legislature this committee made its report and laws were enacted embodying the recommendations of this committee. Industrial education is now mandatory on school a authorities. It is therefore important not only th'at school authorities inform themselves regarding the new movement, but that s the public also familiarize themselves with its nature. The people of Rensselaer have a fine opportunity in this direction through the visit of Prof. Leavitt. He will be here next Friday evening and will speak at the high school auditorium. The lecture is free. The authorities responsible for bringing him here are very desirous that he shall have a good and representative hearing. A part of the program will consist of work in the manual training department by boys of the public schools. This work will begin at 7:30 p. m. The lecture will begin at 8:15. * The Superintendent. Incensed by stories of orgies at Roby roadhouses and lake front resorts along the Indiana shore line in which Chicago joy riders were the principals, Pete/ Austgen, chief of -police of Hammond, nailed the lid on several cases Friday and informed the proprietors that a wholesale prosecution would follow complaints of a continuance of their wide-open policy. Extra policemen have been provided to patrol the beach and to send undesirable visitors across the state line. “Dr. Thomas’ Eclectic Oil is the best remedy for that often fatal disease—croup. It has been used with success in our family for eight years.”—Mrs. L. Whiteacre, Buffalo, N. Y.

A VISION OF THE FUTURE.

A vision of the future rises. I see our. country filled with happy homes, with firesides of content—the foremost land of all the earth. • I see a world where thrones have crumbled and where kings are dust. The aristocracy of Idleness has perished from the earth. I see a world without a slave; Man at last is free. Nature’s forces have by science been enslaved. Lightning and light, wind and wave, frost and flame and all the secret, subtle powers of earth and air are the tireless toilers for the human race. I see a world at peace, adorned with every form of art, with music’s myriad voices thrilled, while lips are rich with words of love and truth—a world in which no exile sighs, no prisoner mourns; a world on which the gibbet’s" shadow does not fall; a world where labor reaps its full reward, where work and worth go hand in hand, where the poor girl trying to win bread with the needle—the needle that has been called “the asp for the breast of the poor”—is not driven to the desperate choice of crime or death, of suicide, or shame. I see a world without the beggar’s outstretched palm, the misers’s heartless, stony stare, the piteous wail of want, the livid lips T>f lies, the cruel eyes of scorn. ‘ r I see a race without disease of flesh or brain—shapely and fair, the married harmony of form and function—and as I look life lengthens, joy deepens, love canopies the earth, and over all in the great dome shines the eternal star of human hope.—Robert Ingersoll.

The judge who tried him said that he was not greatly impressed with the embezzlement charge but was surprised that McColly refused to testify in his own behalf. President Wilson was authorized to send delegates to the international conference on education at The Hague this year by a joint resolution passed Saturday by the house. No appropriation was made for expenses. the latest sheet music, 10c a copy, at the new 5 and. 10 Cent Store.

CHICAGO YOUTH DIED AFTER LONG SICKNESS

Earl Woodeox Passed Away Monday Afternoon After Suffering Relapse From Recent Illness.

Earl Woodcox, the Chicago lad who was a patient for seven weeks at the Rensselaer hospital, died Monday afternoon at the home his mother had so recently taken in part of the Michael property at the corner of South Cullen and Rutsen streets. He was considerably improved when taken from the. hospital only a week before his death and there seemed a probability that he would live throughout the sutamer, but a relapse took place Sunday night and he grew worse rapidly. Rheumatism, which attacked- the inner lining of the heart, was the cause of death. He had suffered several rheumatic spells but not until thp sickness which resulted in his death had his heart been affected. Earl moved with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. V. Woodcox, to Florida about two,years ago, and returned to Chicago last fall. In March he came to Rensselaer to visit’his sisters, Mrs. T. H. Stephens and Miss Hazel Woodoox. Soon after his arrival he was siezed with an attack of rheumatism and was taken to the hospital. His condition was so serious that his death was expected almost any day for two weeks. He took a change for the better, however, and continued to improve until the relapse came Sunday night. Earl was born in Hicksville, Ohio, August 2, 1895, and moved with his parents to Chicago when a small boy. Besides the parents he leaves four sisters, Mrs. T. H. Stephens, of Rensselaer; Mrs. Fred Martin, of Chicago, and Hazel and Dorothy Woodcox.

The funeral will be a private one, only members of the family attending. It will be held at the residence Wednesday morning, at 10 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J. C. Parrett, of the Presbyterian church. Interment will be made in Weston cemetery.

Saw and Were Pleased With World in Chicago.

Rev. and Mrs. Parrett,' Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Duvall, Mr. and Mrs. John I. Gwin, Mrs. E. E. Flint and Harold, Mrs. Thos. Moore, Mrs. M. J. Burr, Mrs. A. P. Burton and Miss Minnie Schultz formed a “World in Chicago” party Monday and attended the great pageant at the Coliseum in Chicago.- They were joined in the city by Mrs. F. J. Sears and Mrs. Ruth Dewey. All were greatly pleased with the visit and say that no person should fail to attend the remarkable representation of religious forms in foreign countries and learn of the missionary work being conducted in foreign' lands. The characters are largely missionaries familiar with the customs of the countries represented and a student can spend several days at the Coliseum and enjoy instruction and environment almost equal to a trip of months in distant lands.

Rev. Parrett is especially enthusiastic in his endorsement of the pageant and believes that all Rensselaer people-should see it. The performance will continue for five weeks, this being the second week of its stay at the Coliseum.

PRODIGALITY.

I think that a prodigal is an outlaw—an outlaw against the humanity, which are laws of mutual dependence and mutual endeavor. Isa man does not provide for his children, if, he does not provide for all those dependent upon him and if he has not that vision of conditions to come and that care for the days that' have not yet dawned which we sum up in the whole idea of thrift and saving, then he has not opened his eyes to any adequate conception of human life. We are in this world .to provide not for ourselves, but for others, and that is the basis for economy. We are building not for the day, but for the future. The only dignity that America has ever had arose out of her conception of her responsibility to the world. She said, “We are going to build a commonwealth whose doors we shall throw open to every man who has hope and ambition under God’s heaven, and this is the refuge of those who believe in the future of the human race on earth.” Nations do not have immorality. Their only chance for dignity lies in what they are building for the future. It is not from mere instinctive curiosity that we turn to the monuments of ancient civilization—the pyramids, the palaces, the great aqueducts—which stand as the permanent memorials of the men who used to live in Egypt or in Rome, the men who gathered the reins-of the world in their hands and tried to drive mankind as the great co-operative team. But every monument of permanency is an evidence of the validity of civilization.—Woodrow Wilson.

Overturning century-old tradition, the supreme court of the District of Columbia has appointed a woman to be assistant clerk’ of the court, empowered with all the duties imposed by law on such an official. The distinction was conferred upon Miss Elizabeth M. Meigs, who for twenty-two years has done service for the court as a copyist and indexer. Miss Meigs is the first woman since the organization of the District’s highest tribunal to hold an official position in that body.

Mrs. William Baugh, wife of William S. Baugh, president of the American National Bank here, and of the Monon bank, is in a serious condition as a result of an automobile accident near Darlington. Mrs. Baugh was returning from Indianapolis with Mr. and Mrs. W. ’bent Wilson and Dr. D. C. McClelland, of this city, in the Wilson automobile. While going down hill a washout was encountered. The axle of the machine struck a log that had been left lying in the road and Mrs. Baugh was thrown out with great force.—Lafayette Democrat.

WILL WE CELEBRATE THE GLORIOUS FOURTH?

Band Boys Have Offer to Go Away But Would Sooner Play at Home Celebration. It Is time to start if we intend to celebrate the Glorious Fourth. Already other towns have started arrangements and the Rensselaer band has been offered other engagements. They would, however, prefer playing at home if their services are needed, and a 4th of July celebration certainly, needs a band. The boys’ band has a reputation not limited to home and they would be able to take their choice of several places. It is a good idea for Rensselaer to celebrate the 4th every year -and the past successes assure big crowds. Let us get busy and give a hummer this year and keep the band at home.
