MEETING TO PLAN FOR STATE CENTENARY

Prof. C. R. Dean Calls Meeting at High School Auditorium For Thursday Evening. The State Centennial Commission is already at work preparing for the State celebration in 1916. As was announced some time ago, this commission has appointed men in each county to start the work and Prof. C. R. Dean of the city schools was appointed for Jasper county. He has talked to some people over the county relative to the part that Jasper county should take in this matter and people seem to be interested in the work. In order to get the plans under way, it seems best to have a public meeting this coming Thursday evening in the high school auditorium. There will be a program after which the work will be outlined and discussed. All people interested in Indiana history and especially local and county history should attend this meeting. There should be people from the different parts of the county. Remington people have already said that will be present at that time. One feature especially emphasized by the state commission is the studying of local and state history through the various dubs and especially through the schools of the county. This will create interest and some time in 1916 a local and county celebration can be held. Remember the date and place of this meeting and arrange to be present.
