INDIANA LAGGING IN SCHOOL RANK

Indianapolis, June 3.—Announcement by the - department of education of the Russell Sage Foundation that in the efficiency of its public schools Indiana ranks seventeenth among the states, is causing considerable discussion among educators concerning the factors which place the state below many others. While educational leaders were gratified by the excellent standing of the state the sentiment was expressed that immediate steps ought to be taken to rectify conditions which have kept Indiana from the top in the educational world. - A study of school legislation and policies of Montana, California, Arizona and New Jersey, the four leading states, according to the report of the foundation, reveals many reasons for their advanced standing educators declare. Several reasons are assigned for Indiana’s failure to obtain first rank in educational advancement. Indiana has not kept pace with increased salaries for teachers, although recent agitation resulted in some improvement of conditions. Selection of important education officials, including the state superintendent of public instruction and the ninety-two county school superintendents, has been left in politics. New Jersey has a law which provides for the appointment of the county superintendents by the state commissioner of education. The superintendents are selected from any part of the United States and receive a salary of $3,000 a year. A bill is pending before the legislature ito increase the salary to $4,000 a year. Indiana county superintendents are elected by township trustees, usually for political reasons, it is contended, and have only recently been provided with anything like adequate salaries. Indiana has no state supervisor of rural education and no special attention has been given to rural school problems beyond a rural school campaign inaugurated during the school year by the state department .of public instruction. Leading states in educational work have had experts seeking to bring rural education up to the standard maintained in the cities. There is only one state high school inspector in Indiana to supervise and direct 800 high schools. Many states have made provision for three or more such experts. Compulsory physical education is a feature of the course of study in many of the leading educational states of the country. Physical training work has been carried on only in a limited way in Indiana. Compulsory medical inspection of school children, one of the cardinal points in schools of many states, has been neglected in Indiana: In the leading educational states the legal minimum term for the rural schools is eight months. The Indiana legal school term is six months, and until recently many school corporations have been running only five months, in defiance' of the law. State school officials directed attention to the failure of many trustees to keep their schools in session the minimum term during the last school year and the practice has been stopped to some extent Lax enforcement of the compulsory attendance law in Indiana has long been the subject of discussion by school officials. Attendance officers receive only $2 a day, accord? ing to officials, -and many of them have not performed their duties energetically. States leading Indiana fa education rank have been noted for- the enforcement of attendance laws. Teachers’ training agencies of Indiana have not given special attention to the training of rural teachers. , In many leading educational states normal training schools maintain separate training courses for rural teachers. The fact that Indiana leads many of the states and territories in educational matters is attributed to numerous causes. Among he factors which placed Indiana ahead of many other states are the qualifications demanded of teachers and the consolidation of rural schools. Consolidation in Indiana, however, is confined to several counties and in otters much remains to be done in this work.

PICNIC TO BE NEXT EVENT

OF VAN RENSSELAER CLUBWILL BE HELD JUNE 20 AT LAKE MAXINKUCKEE ’ At the regular monthly meeting of the Van Rensselaer club Thursday evening, it was decided to hold the first picnic of the season at Lake Maxinkuckee, near Culver, Ind., on, Sunday, June 20, and preparations for the event are already well under way. —The trip to the beautiful little lake will be made by and it is confidently expected that there will be from fifty to seventyfive cars in line when the pilot car gets under way. An advance car will blaze the way with confetti. Lake Maxinkuckee is abolt sixty miles, distant which will make it necessary that the party leave here by eight o’clock, as it will require from three to four hours to make the trip. Each car will be given a number and will maintain its place in line throughout the complete journey. Club pennants will decorate the cars some few instances cars will carry banners resembling circus posters bearing inscriptions which the entertainment committee refuses to divulge at this time. Lake Maxinkuckee is a summer resort which is far-famed for the excellent entertainment it provides, its natural beauty and the many pleasures which may be found there. Two large boats will be chartered for the exclusive use of the club members and music will likewise be provided. The many beauty spots surrounding the lake will alone be well worth the trip. In the evening the party will continue to the Military Academy at Culver where the evening drill of the cadets will be witnessed, following which the return trip will be made. \ The board of directors of the club will appoint various committees to take charge. of ttfe arrangements. The food for the picnic will be prepared by the ladids. > Those who are without automobiles will be provided with car space by other members, and it is thought that there will be a sufficient number of automobiles to care for all who care to attend the picnic. It promises to be a very pleasant affair and since it comes on Sunday it is probable that there will be well over two hundred in the party. ' .> ?
