STATE DRIVE FOR FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

A state wide drive to arouse interest in the public schools of Indiana will be conducted in the ten days beginning November 7, under the auspices of the state department of public instruction. The drive had its beginning in a meeting L. N. Hines, state superintendent of instruction, called this week for that purpose. The rural school survey committee, headed by B. J. Burris, assistant state superintendent, and made up some time ago of a number of other educators, will work out details for the drive. 1 The drive will be followed in December by a citizen’s onferenee to be held in Indianapohs and to which Hoosiers generally will be invited to discuss education and better school facilities for Hoosier children.
