Chairman of Board of Charities Sees Hospital Need.

I was interested in the suggestions offered through The Republican during the early spring for the betterment of Rensselaer, hoping each time some one would especially emphasize the hospital need. Not so very long ago an operation for appendicitis was undergone on a table in the kitchen in one of our good homes. Delay meant death, and that was the best that could be done. Other cases could be cited. We often come up against conditions we are unable to relieve properly. Nurse hire and relief for the physically unfit deplete our funds more rapidly than any other one cause. 'Many persons, for chronic ailments, maternity cases and contagious disease, would prefer paying for care outside the home circle. I would be pleased to see the hospital project carried out and I feel sure I am voicing the sentiments of every one of our board and of many others who have given this matter thought.—Chairman Relief Committee, Board of Associated Charities.

MANY ARE REFUSED SCHOOL LICENSES

(Continued from Page One.)

after year for seven years by Mr. Laznaon himself. It is this power than makes ft possible to defeat Miss Day Jordan, of Barkley township, whose all around ability as a teacher an/1 whose qualities of excellence make her greatly desired as a teacher. _ It is this power that blights the ambition of girth and boys who have struggled through four years of high school with the hope of teachnig to help repay their parents for the sacrifices they have made. Mr. Lamison said to the writer last week that he does all in his power to help the local applicants, showing them many favors. Asked if he had a right to help them, he replied, “Well, I do it any how.” One former trustee said to the writer a few days ago: “This agitation is a good thing. It should have been started two years ago.” Another trustee said to The Republican: “The trustees will meet Monday. The best thing that could happen would be to have Mr. Lamson hand in his resignation.” The writer talked to a former trustee in Newton county recently. The trustee said that in Newton county the superintendent, William Schanlaub, made it a point to give the home applicants schools and that almost all of the teachers in that county resided in Newton county. There were few imported teachers. The Republican is not advised as to the number of applicants who have failed to pass after graduating from the Rensselaer high school, but an examination of Mr. Lam son’s records, that is a hasty examination, showed that many had failed. It is a practice in that office to grade part of the papers only until the applicant fails in one topic. Failure to get an eligible grade in one means that a license will not be issued. Failure to receive their grades on all topics leaves the applicant in the dark a* to which to study up on. Whether this is practiced in other offices or not we are not advised but Mr. Lamson states that he makes this a practice. Just what his manifold duties are that makes it impossible to grade the papers entire we are unable to find out. Some trustees say that much of his time is spent in trying to run their business. Others say that he has been very kind in helping them make up annual reports, etc., for trustees. He has an assistant in his office about all of the time and he draws pay for every day in the year. But he only grades the papers “until he finds one on which the applicant has failed.” Mr. Lamson was asked if he ever had any correspondence with Homer

Cook, who conducted an agency for teachers. He replied that he had secured some teachers through Mr. Cook when he could not get them otherwise. Homer Cook is now auditor of state. He was formerly speaker of the house and his name was mentioned during the last campaign in connection with several matters that did not look altogether right. He is said to be the man who framed things up to have the terms of superintendents extended two years, thus fostering a man like Lamson on to the schools of the county for six years instead of only four. The superintendents are presumed to have contributed liberally for the lobbying that sent this measure through. It is safe to say that 60 per cent of the teachers employed in Jasper county are from outside. Many of them were hired through agents. They are frequently, we may say generally, those who are not wanted in thenown counties as teachers. They are good enough for Jasper county and they paid Homer Cook and other agents 5 per cent of their year’s salary, something Mke $3 per month for getting a school here. If .there were sixty teachers out of Jasper county last year, the effect was paying out of the county treasury school money something like SIB,OOO that should have been paid to struggling and ambitious Jasper county men and women and boys and girls. Any superintendent with a fair degree of igenuity would have found it possible to have given schools last year to many of those who were turned down and in whose places were employed poorer qualified teachers from other counties. THE REPUBLICAN WILL NOT CONCEDE THAT THE GRADUATES FROM THE RENSSELAER HIGH SCHOOL ARE NOT JUST AS WELL QUALIFIED TO TEACH AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER COUNTY IN INDIANA. THE REPUBLICAN BELIEVES THAT THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF THIS COUNTY ARE NOT TREATED FAIRLY AND THAT FOR SOME REASON THEY ARE TURNED DOWN WHEN THEY ASK FOR LICENSES v TO TEACH SCHOOL.

A highly educated gentleman from Indianapolis said to a writer a few days ago that he knows it is the policy ip many counties for the superintendent to grant licenses to any who show themselves possessed of fair abihty even though they may fail in some of the very hard examinations that are required. He said that the policy in most places was to give the high school graduates a chance, especially in cases where they came from families where sacrifices had been made. He asked: “What chance has a poor girl who* has planned for four years to teach when turned down by a superintendent? Will she have to take a commercial course and enter an office or will she

have to go to work in some one's kitchen?” Another said: “I would giye a job to any high school graduate who showed fair prospect of making a good teacher and then I would help them make good with the school.” The Republican is preparing to write a number of letters to teachers who came to Jasper county from other places if \heir addresses can be .learned and ascertain whether they had made application here for schools before they applied through the agencies. Also to find out how much some of these agencies charge and to get what other information is available. The Republican believes that the district schools of Jasper county are not doing as well as they should and that they will not do what they should until a new superintendent is secured. Information is desired that will help to bring this about. Call at The Republican office or write us or cadi by telephone. ~
