PROFESSOR SMITH MADE STATE AGENT

Purdue instructor Chosen to Carry Out Provisions of New Vocational Education Law.. ■' .--V \ ' -

The state organization for the new vocational education work in Indiana was completed Wednesday when President W. E. Stone, of Purdue University, announced the selection of Professor Z. M. Smith, of Purdue, as the agent in charge of agricultural education. The selection was approved by State Superintendent Charles Greathouse. Mr. Smith and W. F. Book, appointed last week as assistant state superintendent in charge of vocational Work, will'take offices in the statehouse the latter part of the week. Mr. Smith, however, will also have an office at Purdue, as the agricultural work is to be directed in part through him from that institution, which is to back him up in the work, both with literature and assistant workers. Z. M. Smith is at present a professor at Purdue and has been working in the agricultural extension department of the university during the last year. Be has been an assistant in charge of boys’ and girls’ club work and in that capacity has a good start in his new field. .a At this time he has more than six thousand public school boys and girls at work growing corn and tomatoes, and is directing them as much as possible under the present, or old, educational system, in agricultural work. It is said he has remarkable capacity in handling the boys and girls. Mr. Smith will not have anything to do with the appointment of county agents, as provided in the vocational education law. That falls directly on Purdue University, and appointments will be made through President Stone and Professor G. I. Christie. Mr. Smith’s salary is $4,250 a year. Mr. Smith is a native of Tipton county and was educated in the schools of that county. He took his collegiate course at DePauw university, graduating with the degree of A. B. in 1901 and receiving the A. M. in 1905. He took post graduate work in Chicago and Purdue Universities.' .... .. .■■ ■, -

Marsh Bridge Burns, Impairing Train Service.

A marsh colvert, just north of Shelby, burned some time last night, and is presumed to have been set on fire by a train. The marsh grasses, of which there is an abundant supply at that place, coupled with the hot weather of the past few days, causes this to be taken as the probable- cause for the burning.. The last train to come through from the north wUs the flyer at 1:18, while the berry special and other trains detoured to Monon. Number 31, however, commonly known as the paper train, backed up to Hammond and detoured to Shelby, getting into Rensselaer about nine o’clock. Nos. 5 and 37, both due at 11:09 and 11:32, respectively, detoured and missed' us .entirely. No. 32, from the south, came as far as Monon and went to Wilders and around on the Erie tracks. < Repairs were made so as to permit the southbound Hoosier Limited to get through this afternoon.

David L. Richardson Passed Away Friday.

David L. Richardson, who has been making his home with his daughter, Mrs. Charles Paxton, on Dayton street, passed away Friday afternoon at 3:25 o’clock. Death was caused by a complication of; diseases, cancer of the stomach and a hardening of the arterial system, being the immediate cause of demise. He was born in LaPorte county, Indiana, October 22, 1832, thus being 80 years, 7 months and 14 days old. He moved to Rensselaer in 1886 and has been making his home since that time with his two married daughters, who survive him. He also leaves his widow, who is above 80 years of age. One daughter died several years ago, at the age of 19, and was unmarried. Mrs. Charles Postill is the other child surviving. Mr. Richardson was a member of the Order of Odd Fellows, and the Camp, having been a member of the orders for a great number of years. The funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from Mr. Paxton’s residence, at 2 o’clock, Rev. Harper of the Methodist church conducting the funeral ceremony. Interment in Weston cemetery. Harry W. Paxton, of Swazee, Ind., a grandson of the deceased, came today to attend the funeral. '

School Book Concerns Are Looking for Business.

The last session of the Indiana legislature passed a great many laws pertaining to educational matters. No law of greater importance to the people of the state was passed touching education than the one making the text books'in the high schools of the state uniform. While the selection of the text books primarily is placed in the hands of the state board of education, yet this body has placed the selection of the books to be used in the hands of several committees, eight in number, each committee to look after the books in each subject. There are seven members on each committee, chosen from the leading educators in the state. These books so chosen shall be the ones to be used in that particular subject in the high schools of Indiana for a period of five years. The different school book concerns of the country, therefore, are represented in Indiana to a degree of efficiency never attained before, because the books chosen will have a complete monopoly for the next five years to come.

There are sixteen of these concerns in Indiana at the present time, and several .representatives from the different houses have been in Rensselaer of late trying to crate a demand for their particular book.

Purtoile’s Bond Increased From $2,000 to $6,000.

The'bond of Eugene Purteile, Who is in jail at Frankfort, charged with cashing worthless checks, has been increased from $2,000 to $6,000. He was arrested on two charges and his bond in each case has been fixed at $3,000. As he could not give bond for the lower amount he will probably have to remain in jail until the day set his his trial. One charge against him is for issuing fraudulent checks: the other is for obtaining money on fraudulent checks.

How Another Woman Joined the Hoosier Club

Mrs. L. using a Hoosier Cabinet finished her work and is reading the paper. She sees that a few club memberships are left and decides immediately to go tell her friend, Mrs. R., who was lamenting over the phone about her tired feet from so much work to dp.

Members of the Women’s Club at Winchester are at war with the county commissioners and the city council. The latter bodies want to cut the trees from around the court house and the women want the lawn further beautified. The matter is in obeyance until the July meeting of the commissioners.

This Happened in Jasper County Forty Years Ago.

Winamac Journal. Henry Snyder, a farmer and cattle dealer living in Walker township, Jasper county, went to Medaryville, one day last week, where he got drunk. On his return home he went to a neighbor of his, a Swede, and accused him of stealing his corn. This the Swede denied. The denial so enraged Snyder that he went to his house and got a double-bar-reled gun and shot the Swede, the entire load entering his bowels, from the effects of which he cannot recover. ’ The second charge was aimed at two of the Swede’s children, who were both hit in the arm, inflicting severe though not fatal injuries.
