THE FAMOUS LOCKLEAR AT PRINCESS THIS EVENING

The famous Lieut. Oandr Locklear, whose stunt of jumping from one aeroplane to another hundreds of feet above the ground while traveling at a high rate of speed, will be seen at the Princess this evening in “The Great Air Robbery.” Lieut. Locklear’s feats have been the talk *)f the air world, and no more thrilling stunt than his has ever been attempted. Locklear has followed this daring practice since the close of the great world war and his feat is rightfully called the thrill of thrills. The world has stood aghast and amazed at his daring, and those who attend the Princess this evening will have a chance to see him in his novel stunt. . • iThe play will be repeated Thursday evening.

HOOVER GETS INTO G. O. P. RACE

FINALLY CASTS LOT WITH FORCES WITH WHICH HE FORMERLY WAS IDENTIFIED .San Francisco, Cal., March .80. — Herbert Hoover today • telegraphed the Hoover 'Republican Club of California that he would accept the Republican nomination for President “if it is felt that the issues necessitate it and it is demanded of ’■rV “ Mr. Hoover thus settled definitely the question of bis candidacy, which has been agitating the minds of politicians of both the Democratic and Republican parties for several months. When Mr. Hoover’s name was first mentioned in connection with the presidency, nobody seemed to know to which party he .belonged, and the Democrats apparently were angling for him harper than the Republicans. Booms In Many' States. Booms for him have developed with both .parties in several states, and in some his name has appeared on the primary ballots. > Finally. -it developed that Mr. Hoover had been a Progressive-Re-publican, but this did not deter the Democrats from continuing to keep an eye on him, for in Sis public statements Mr. Hoover has gone on record as being more interested in issues than in parties.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

A second list of contributors to the French Memorial fund was received from the Queen City school in Milroy township. This school term closed last" Friday bat Mass Mildred Harper, the teacher, was able to explain the the children of that ' community and they responded quickly to the cause. Those contributing were: Irene Slaughter, Lillian Byrne, Ernest Fosdick; Katie Fosdick, Sylvester Fosdiek, Earl Shelhart, Clifford Shelhart, Walter McAlerr, Howard McAleer, Hugh Garvin making in all a contribution of sixty-five cents for the school. Postal money orders are very convenient/and a safe way of sending money by teachers who are collecting for tins fund. There were ten eighth grade pupils from Union township who took advantage of the junior high school at Fair Oaks at the close of their terms in the country. Thaw pupils will receive promotions into the high school without the eighth grade examination as is required from schools not maintaining an eight months term. This is unfair to the pupils who must pass the eighth grade diploma examination because he has a term shorter to length than eight months. However, the law provides that eighth grade pupils can be transferred from a township not maintaining a junior high school to a junior high school just as is done with pupils wishing to attend regular commissioned high Bchoolfli Several schools in the county have closed. Milroy, Union and Barkley are the first to close. Teachers throughout the county are arranging .to continue their professional training in various schools in Indiana. The unfortunate feature about our present law is that it caters to the inferior teacher too much. These teachers draw lees salary than the better qualified teachers, hence are in demand while the higher priced and best teachers of a higher rating do not receive enough additional above the class “A” and “B”, teachers to encourage them to become - more proficient. This error is apparent and has been a gross abuse for years yet yegistators do not seem disposed to remedy such a “trivial matter.” . -
