EVERY PATRON OF SCHOOLS INVITED

▲nd 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 inquiry. 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 authorities. It is therefore important not only that school authorities inform themselves regarding the new movement, but that 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 this 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

His present visit Is to visit boarding schools in and near Chicago. • There are nearly three thousand useless gas lamp posts In 'Providence and It Is figured that it will cost >16,000 to remove them.

New Invention Removes Kernels From Standing Corn.

Kansas City, Mo., May 15.—C. C. Baldwin, a Kansas man, has perfected a machine which moves through a field of grain and harvests the kernels direct from the stalks, leaving the straw standing. Four horses pull the outfit, while a small gasoline engine furnishes the power to gather the heads of grain and thrash them out. The advantage is that the expense of cutting, shocking and handling the stalks is obviated and the straw is left on the field for fertilizer. The inventor claims that while it costs fourteen cents a bushel to harvest and thrash wheat his system will do the work for 2 cents. However, it is not always that grain is fit to be thrashed just as it stands in the field, so that the new plan can not take the place of the old entirely.

The Cebohd Dramatic Company, playing here tomorrow evening, offering the comedy drama “Merely a Scrap of Paper,” is composed of a group of twelve students from Purdue University, the parts being filled by six young ladies and an equal number of men. The company also carritf; its own musician and is under the management of one of the company. Though not directly representing the university as a student organization, the players are all well known in student activities, and take an active part in university affairs. The majority of the east are chosen from the two upper classes, and thus much more conscientious work is secured than could be expected from lower classmen. While not a professional company, the Cebohdians are out on their own responsibility, and feci that they are bound to give value received in even a larger degree than would be expected of a professional engagement, on account of the fact that they are all college students, and therefore expected to be more or less intellectually inclined. Advertising flour from ‘selected’ wheat in order to tempt the public is a good deal like the colored man’s hot pies.

Now is the Time to Fight the Clothes Moth.

The clothes moth is flying about now, looking for a place to lay its eggs, which hatch into the little catterpillars that eat our woolens. Usually these moths work on clothes which are put away in the dark; articles that are in common use are not troubled. Moth balls are a help in repelling the moths from settling on the woolens, but moth balls will not kill the eggs already laid. The only way .to prevent the moths destroying woolens and furs to be put away is by thoroughly brushing and cleaning the articles and by frequent dusting and sunning. If furs are to. be stored, hang them in the suhshine, then comb thoroughly with a flnetoothed comb. Sprinkle with pepper, camphor chips or powdered moth balls, and roll In tissue paper: then put in a muslin or paper wrapper and in a moth-proof box. Woolens should be well sunned and aired and beaten well before they are put away. The springs of a wire mattress and a rattan carpet beater are effective for brushing large garments. The garment is placed on the springs as flat as possible, and is more easily dusted than when on the line. If clothes are not to be stored, they should be brushed and sunned often.

POLICE TO SCOUR TWO CITIES FOR LOST GIRL

Father of Catherine Winters Institutes Search of Chicago and Indianapolis Schools.

A search of Indianapolis and Chicago schools and boarding houses is to be instituted for 9-year-old Catherine Winters, who disappeared from her home in Newcastle eight weeks ago, mention of which was made .in The Republican. Dr. W. A. father of the child, who has searched five states without finding a clew, stopped in Indianapolis on his way home from Chicago. At the suggestion of Cap tain of Detectives Halpin of Chicago, Dr. Winters called on Capt. Holtz of the Indianapolis detective department and asked that a search be made of schools, private and public, and boarding houses of Indianapolis. Capt. Holtz will enlist the aid of school teachers in the search. The search of Chicago schools was begun Thursday. “I don’t want revenge, I don’t want to prosecute any one for stealing my darling daughter, but I do want Catherine back,” Dr. Winters said. As he spoke tears welled in his eyes. “It was eight weeks ago today that Catherine disappeared and we haven’t been able to get a single tangible clew. We have set her place at the table each day since she went away with a jliopc that she would be with us the very next meal, but we have begun to despair of seeing her again. It would be a relief if we could learn her fate.” .... r _.—.—1 Dr. Winters is a dentist. He has given up his practice to devote his time to a search for the child and has practically exhausted his means in traveling. A fund of $625, raised on “tag day,” was recently provided by Newcaste citizens to help him.
