EDtCATIO.XAL A D V A N T A fi V. S COMPARED WITH MASSACHUSETTS.

State Snperlnt endent Jones Points Out Superior Conditions in Thl State. "How do Indiana and Massachusetts compare as to educational advantages?' is a query sent to the Journal by one of Its readers. This question was submitted to Prof. Frank L. Jones, state superintendent oi" public instruction, yesterday, for an answer. The suggestion was made to Prof. Jones that the census of 1SS0 showed that Massachusetts had 6.5 per cent, of illiteracy, while Indiana had 7.5 rer cent. "I do not believe much in statistical comparisons." said Professor Jones, "since statistics are compiled on different bases In different states, and because they are not always accurate. A great many people in Indiana have been counted as Illiterates, for ii'Stance. because they cannot speak the English language, but that is not illiteracy. If some intelligent German comes to this State he is counted as illiterate because he cannot speak our language, although he may be a graduate of Heidelberg University. We have a great many more foreigners In Indiana than they have !n the Eastern states, especially in our gas belt, and because of this fact illiteracy appears to be greater In Indiana. "Now, as a matter of fact, Indiana is conceded first place in school administration, organization, uniformity of work and requirements for Its teachers. The State ranks first in its teachers' and pupils' reading circles and in school architecture. It also ranks first in the number of high schools which it maintains. Massachusetts ranks first in supervision of both its rural and high schools. Massachusetts has made attendance at school compulsory for a much longer period than Indiana has. In the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia in 1ST Indiana attained its first rank in schoo". drganizatlon and administration, and since that time educators everywhere have spoken of Massachusetts and Indiana is bong the two leading States in educational affairs, referring to Massachusetts first in some connections and to Indiana first in others." Professor Jones said that the States in the Northwest Territory have larger school funds than Eastern States because of the original ordinance enacted by Congress when that territory was set aside, requiring certain sections of land to be given to the support of schools and certain other sections for the support of colleges. The enhancement in value of these gifts of land has created great endowments or funds for educational purposes. Professor Jones talked interestingly of teachers in Massachusetts and Indiana. "Teachers In Massachusetts really teach longer than they do in Indiana." he said, "and there are many old teachers in Massachusetts. That arises partly from the fact that there are so many opportunities in Indiana to get Into other industries that young people seek employment which is more remunerative than teaching, and partly from the fact that Indiana encourages young and vigorous teachers, and there seems to be a custom In this State that amounts to a rule that old teachers shall drop out and give place to younger pedagogues. Massachusetts is more conservative and less subject to changes than our State is. That is the principal reason why teachers stay with them. They are not required to change In order to conform to new conditions. In many cases this operates to the disadvantage of Indiana schools, but in many other cases it is a positive advantage. I think it Is beyond question that Indiana is fully equal to Massachusetts In point of educational advantages, and In some respects even superior." OF INTEREST TO STUDENTS. Mr. J. K. Lilly lias Inlque Plan otes of the School. Mr. J. K. Lilly will tender a reception next Friday night to a numebr of boys from the Shortridge High School, Manual Training School and the Indianapolis Academy.

A., and who takes a general interest In young men, to have those boys from the primary schools and academies who contemplate going away to college next fall, form a band of fellowship here which may be made stronger while away. It is for this reason that Mr. Lilly will entertain Friday night, and ail the young seniors who Intend to leave next fall for college, can get acquainted with others on this occasion. A musical programme ha-s been arranged for the evening, and refreshments will be served. There will be representatives from Yale, Trlnceton, De J'auw, Purdue and Butler, who will give short talks to the young men who intend taking a college course. Preaentn of Sweater.

They Will Strike To-Day Where DeinanriM Are .Not Granted. The meeting of the Pattern Makers' Union last night was attended by nearly every member of the organization, and it was unanimously voted that the men should be called out this morning where the firms refuse to accede to their demands. The pattern makers submitted their demands two weeks ago, which were for ten hours' pay for a nine-hour day. The Atlas engine works.

A Futile Conference Held. The boiler makers employed by the Chandler & Taylor Company held a conference with members of the firm yesterday, but failed to reach an agreement. President Taylor offered the men a small increase in wages, but so far below what they are asking that they would not entertain the proposition. Concession was made as to hours, but the firm refused to sign an agreement, which is a refusal to recognize the union.. The firm refused to meet Business Agent Miller, of the union, or any of Its representatives. Two Firnis Mgn Agreement. The Globe pattern works and the Indianapolis pattern works yesterday signed the agreement of the machinists, granting all their demands, and the men will report for work.

Circular letters will be sent to-day by Adjutant General Ward to the commanding officers of all companies of the Indiana National Guard outlining a plan by which this State may be able to send a regiment of troops to the Pan-American Exposition on "Indiana day," next September. The adjutant general is desirous of securing for this purpose a regiment made up of such companies in the different National Guard regiments as are willing to make the trip. He suggests that the militia "boys" can give prize drills, get up minstrel shows or ask subscriptions from their fellow-townsmen In order to raise funds to defray the expenses of the trip. The State will supply tents and camp equipment, except rations, and Oeneral Ward Is confident the railroad companies will giv? a very low transportation rate. The National Guard has coming to it pay for its services on the occasion of the Harrison funeral, and it will receive pay for attending the camp of instruction at the fair grounds. July 21-28, and this money could be used towards defraying the cost of the Buffalo trip. Geneial Ward believes It would be of positive advantage to the State at large to make a fine showing at the exposition. He has entered into correspondence with Adjutant General Stewart, of Pennsylvania, who has charge of the military features of tho exposition. General Stewart says the entire Pennsylvania guard will attend the big show. STOCK EXCHANGE ACTION. JSevrton Todd Thinks It the Work of Hin Former Correspondent.

THE ATTEMPT TO PASS MEC.LEY OIlDIXAXCE WAS POSTPONED.

A Constitutional Majority Lacking; WDhont HI Vote Council Selon City AfTuIr. Owing to the absence of Councilman Megrew from the meeting of the City Counet' last night the passage of the Negley dis tricting ordinance had to be postponed lor J another two weeks. The committee on elections returned a majority report recommending the passage of the ordinance which was later adopted by a vote of 10 to 7 A minority report recommending the death of the ordinance was returned by Councilman Terrott, the only Democratic member of the committee. He subsequently attempted to have his report substituted for the majority report and was supported In his motion by the solid vote of his Democratic colleagues, but the motion wüv lost. After the report had been adopted the Republican members of the Council, realizing that owing to the absence of Mr. Megrew they lacked one of having a constitutional majority, which Is necessary to pass the ordinance, were willing to let the matter remain In status quo until the next meeting of the Council, when it Is hoped they will have the necessary votes to pass the ordinance, but Mr. Perrott, who was cognizant of the absence of Mr. Megrew, called the ordinance up for a second reading. The members of the Council, thinking it would take the clerk at least three hours to read the ordinance, left their scats and strolled out into the corridors and Mr. Tamm, who had undertaken the job, was left practically alone in the chamber. In the course of fifteen or twenty minutes on of the Councilmen happened to come within the sound of Mr. Tamm's voice and to his great surprise he heard him reading the description of the Tenth precinct of the Fifteenth ward. He immediately notified the others of the reader's incredible rapidity and in five minutes tho absentees had re-entered the room and were waiting for the clerk to conclude. As soon as Mr. Tamm stopped reading. Councilman Keller made a motion to adjourn and It was carried by a viva voce vote. The ordinance was amended in committee by eliminating Woodruff Place, which is not a part of the city proper, from the Second precinct of the Eighth ward. ANNEXATION ORDINANCE. The committee on public property and Improvement returned a majority report recommending the passage of ordinance No. c3, introduced by Councilman McGrew (Democrat) at the last meeting, which provides for the annexation of the ground belonging to the Central Insane Hospital, and it was afterward engrossed and passed by a vote of 14 to 3. Councilman Perrott opposed the ordinance because, he said, it meant the annexation of not only the grounds belonging to the Insane Hospital, but of about 150 Republican votes as well. He intimated that Mr. McGrew had been deceived by the Republicans into fathering the ordinance. Mr. McGrew said in explanation of his vote that he had introduced th ordinance not only to afford the hospital better police and fire protection, but because it would be a sure way of having Wushington street improved in front of the hospital grounds. "I deem it my duty to vote for the best Interests of all the people." said Mr. McGrew, "even If It be the means of bringing five hundred Republican votes Into the city." The only Councilmen voting against the passage of the ordinance were Terrott, Moriarity and Reilly. The ordinance Introduced by Mr. Negley at a former meeting, prohibiting the use of arc lights as headlights on electric street-cars and interurban electric cars, in the city limits, was passed by a vote of 15 to 2. The Council also passed the ordinance authorizing the improvement of Bcllefontaine street with asphalt from Fifteenth street to Twent3'-first street. The committee on railroads returned a majority report recommending that the ordinance which sought the repeal of the Parry switch ordinance be not passed, and notwithstanding the opposition of some of the Democrats the report was adopted by a vote of 12 to 5. The ordinance was afterwards called up and stricken from the records. An ordinance prepared by the city controller, recommending an appropriation of $1.20) to the fund for the prevention of contagious disease, of the Board of Health, was passed without opposition, and a resolution providing that the office of city controller shall be used by the sinking fund commission as a meeting place, was unanimously adopted. An ordinance providing for the annexation of certain land north of Fall creek, near Central avenue, was killed and stricken from the records. Inquiries Abont Meridian Street. A number of property holders on North Meridian street were before the Board of Works again yesterday for the purpose of inquiring when the board Intends to take action on the matter of a pavement on Meridian street, north of Fall creek. Chairman Sahm, while he did not promise what the action of the board would be, said he thought the matter would be settled this week in a way that would satisfy everybody. Linton A. Cox filed a petition with the board for a wooden block pavement, signed by twenty-one out of twentynine resident property holders. Mr. Cox said he did not think It was necessary to file the petition as the board could act without it, but would file it just because he had It. Good-nye to Poplar Trees. The Board of Works yesterday adopted a resolution providing for a uniform street of fifty feet, the entire distance of the proposed improvement on Northwestern avenue. The row of poplar trees, on account of which the board proposed to narrow the street for three squares, and about which there has been so much contention, will be left in the gutter until the street 13 paved. Permit to Cut Head Limit. The park superintendent yesterday issued a permit to R. H. McCrea to cut the dead limbs from a tree at the northwest corner of Sheldon and Twenty-second streets.
