ARGUMENTS WITH WHICH CHARTER PROVISION WAS FOUGHT.

PASSED THROUGH “DARK AGE”

IONDAY morning wt» *«<*> the enrollment In the city's public •cfcool* of 90,960 cMMren. It 1« difficult to realize, to the toce of Oito testlxooKjr to tbe populartty of the schools, that at one time there was serious and determine'! opposition to them. The first approach toward a system of free school* was made during the winter of im~7. The Legislature of that winter witnessed the Introduction of the first city charter, prepared by the Hon. Oliver H. Smith, to which H. V. B. Noel introduced an amendment providing for the division of the city Into school districts, the •rection of suitable buildings, the appointment of teachers and superlntendT *»ts and authorising the Council to levy a to* for school purposes not to exceed one-eighth of 1 per cent, of the ntsrsn meat. Several Influential members vigorously opposed the amendment The notion that the property of the community should be etoployed In educating its children was denounced as a heresy ''unjust, inequitable, and worth of its Puritan origin. ' it was held that any taxation except for roads and the support of Government was inexpedient. Arguments of the Day. But these men were not'the only source of opposition. Thomas B. Elliott, presl dent of the school board in IMG. tells the story with considerable humor: ‘•Certain rough and, in a way, popular members of the untenilied districts were earnest in condemning common schools on general principles. They and their fathers never had an education and they had achieved legislative honors without such aid; lUtewImo their children might attain the same dignity tf not spoiled by learning. Ikboollug led to extravagance and folly, law and ruin. A man could keep store, chop wood, physic, plow, preach and plead without an education, and wnat more was needed7 The ileetewt, long-nosed, deep-rooting hogs and mom flexible hooppoles sprang spontaneously from the soil. Without tlio aid of science nature had enriched us with the frultfulem powers of mod. Th© wilderness of Indiana had been Subdued and teeming crops grew luxuriant over the graves of dead savage*~ all -lone by unlearned men. Besides. It would bo a precedent full of evil to net this young city, the seat of the State government, agoing with reckless expenditure foisted upon its charter. It might react on the legislature, by the Influence of exiimplo, and minium* might be squani dered in Internal improvements more mv ehlovou* than those they were then stag.goring under. For their part, sink ot swim, ©to., etc... they were opposed to any e ich fanaticism." Prudent Member's Suggestion. * The amendment was In grave peril, but It did not suffer Immediate defeat largely owing to the action of u prudent member "who advocated all sides on vexed questions," moved to amend still further by providing a special election at which tho ballots should read, "Free schools" twid* "No free school*." In the tumult tlvat followed, the charter as amended became a law { Thb result was an animated contest, the

quiet and resolute, but on the day of tne election were by no means sanguine of the result A cltlsen who was to a considerable degree a representative of tho learning. Jurisprudence and capital of the town, the late venerable and eminent Jud«o Blackfhrd. wa* sarneetly cheered as he openly voted a ballot Indorsed 'Free school*.’ The cause of impartial education triumphed by an overwhelming majority." The city’s population was then about 6,000 Lot* were bought and schoolhousee erected In the seven Wards. Teachers were appointed, but were paid no salaries. Their compensation, which was extremely limited, was obtained from the patrons of the schools. City lots and building material were chenp, but property value* were low, and twelve and one-half cent* on a hundred dollars raised but a meager Income- For six years no salaries were paid by the city, Until lt«3 each school whs managed by Its own trustees, and there was no central head or superintendent. In that year the first general Board Of Trustees wo* appointed by the Common Council, It consisted of II. P. Coburn, Calvin Fletcher and H F.

In moat cases people become engaged aa the result of propinqnity rather than because of any deep tooted preferaoce.

The period immediately following has bceu termed the dark age of the public schools.

The special province of the Indiana Department of Factory Inspection J# to see that manufacturing concerns comply with the factory laws that are designed to protect employes. The average man and probably few of the legislators who assisted in making the factory laws, know that one of the chief difllcuities that confronts the department is to persuade employes In some of the factories In Indiana to use device* that have been put In for

their personal safety.

"It s a peculiar thing," said D. H. McAbec. chief of the department of inspection, "that there are many factory employes who absolutely refuse to make use of safety devices on machines that they mav be operating. I have had numerous cases come to my notice since being In this office, and they have worried me ;x>t a little. Some time ago r visited a large factory In a town some distance from Indianapolis to see what had been done In the way of putting In certain safetv devices. The company had complied to the letter, and wood-working machinery of a certain class had been properly

equipped.

Reflection on Ability.

"I was surprised to find, however, tnat one man who was at work on a ripsaw had discarded the guard arrangement which was designed especially to protect his hand# and arms from coming In contact with the saw. I asked him about it and from his manner I knew instantly that he felt the use of such a thing would reflect upon Ids ability as a workmen. He had worked so many year* In the very face of danger and had never been scratched that he regarded a safety de-

vice a* a ridiculous creation.

“It is a fact duly recorded by me that within three weeks from that day this same man while at work on the selfsame saw, with the safety guard thrown aside, had one of his arms cut completely off while pushing a board through the

machine.

Must Educate the Men.

"I have known of several similar Instances during the last year or two. In another factory this department ordered dust protectors for machines in one of the rooms. It was deemed an unhealthyplace, the men being compelled to fill the!r iur-gs with air that was heavily

are not professional in their attitude j dust-laden. The machines were equipped They understand the nature of children ... rr ^ ... ..... * i.,,. ,,t ,i.,., •• i. .. with covers so that little or no dust

could escape, but when an Inspection of the factory was made is was found that few of Die devices were In use The men seemed to care little for their own com-

fort.

“Sii, you see that one of the things we are trying to do besides compelling factory people to comply with laws for the protection of their men. Is to educate the men themselves to the use of safety appliances.'’

HAVE no doubt you’ve read about the man behind the gun, And of the man behind the bat that made the winning run. You’ve heard about the man who is behind the hoe and pick And of nine million others who are “just behind” and kick Because the world’s against them and they deprecate their lot If they don’t get their portion from the man behind the pot. And there's the man behind his board and can’t produce a cent, Who has a woeful rival in the man behind his rent. And there’s the man behind the scheme to make you get rich quick, And when your cash comes out behind of course you raise a kick, But that won’t bring your money back—you’re just behind, that’s all— And when your wife hears of it you’re the man behind the bawl. But I’ll not sing of adult woes—I’ll have you take a look At that tan-visaged tyrant—it’s the boy behind the book.

SOME THINGS PARENTS SHOULD DO WHEN JOHNNY STARTS TO SCHOOL Boy Should Be Clean, Body and Clothes, Well Fed and Supplied With Books.

| ANY parent# are dreading the opening of the schools because of the friction between their Johnny or Tommy and the teacher, which experience ha# shown them will be likely to follow. Of course, things would go all right If the teacher would only study Johnny's disposition and see that while she must be Arm with him and make him mind, he can be led but not driven, and that you | can do more with a kind word than by scolding, and that above all things, you must never lay your hands on him. Although countless teachers have been Instructed by countless parent# after the foregoing fashion, they never seem to | learn just how to manage, and Johnny's troubles continue; so a few suggestions on the other side may not come amiss. In the drat place, before you start Johnny to school next Monday morning, wash him. or if h# Is big enough, see that he washes himself. Not a mere polishing of external, visible portions, but a scrubbing and a rinsing such as Sarah Maud gave the little Ruggleses. Then put clean clothes on him; clean clothes next to him. No Johnny who Is dirty and sweaty and odorous has any right to expect much in the way of special consideration. In fact, he often gets more than he is entitled to. How would you like to be shut up in a room with forty children, of whom any number wore the same reeking, microbe-infested garments on the same unpleasant, unwashed bodies week to and week out? Teachers get a lot of misplaced sympathy, but on this point they do not have as much as they merit. So scrub and rinse Johnny and clothe him; in rags, if need be, but have the rags clean, and do It over again at least once every week. If you desire him in your own home in an unwashed condition, that is something for you and the health officer to settle between you. but you have no right to inflict him on others. Johnny’s Breakfast. Having got Johnny clean, attend to his breakfast next. See that it is abundant, wholesome and well-cooked. It is safe to assert that a large number of Johnnies, Tommies. Annies and Katie* are started to school every morning on a breakfast consisting largely of fried potatoes,

doughnuts and coffee, if there is meat It la pork chops or sausage, fried, of course. Bo Johnny, with his pores stopped up by the accretions of the body, his circulation clogged with greasy food and cheap coffee. goes to school to slouch and mope through his tasks in a half-awake condition. His physical discomfort works out. perhaps, in irritability or mischief, and history begins to repeat Itself. Perhaps you can not give Johnny porterhouse steak and Mocha and Java mixed, but you can give him baked potatoes, beans, hamburg steak, bread and butter, apples or bananas, and omit the coffee altogether. If you realise the importance of these things and their influence on Johnny's conduct and well-being, you will find some way to bring them about. It is hi# right and the teacher’s right that be and ah* be not handicapped by his lack of cleanliness and nourishment Hia School Outfit. Next, see that he has his school outfit and has it In the very beginning. The value of his whole terra's work may be lessened by your dawdling along, taking your own time to getting hie little supplies. If there la a regular income, however small, you have ne right to tax the teacher’s time and patience and handicap Johnny’s efforts by putting off getting his hooks, copybook, tablets, pencils and what not, for days or weeks. And when you get thorn, do It as though it were a pleasure, not grudgingly. You have known all summer that this was coming, but you will let johnny get up to school and say: "Mv father can’t get my books till pay-day," when any one of a doxen pay-days might have provided th* money with a little forethought ahd management. Start Johnny clean, well-fed snd with all his tools ready. Next Sunday night eit bv his bedside a few minutes with his hand in yours and talk to him about what you are hoping for a# a result of hts year's work; about what all the year’s work mean# In the making a man out of him. Repeat this occasionally from time to time, and things may begin to go well with Johnny. M. P. T. First Baptist Church Open Again. The First Baptist auditorium, which ha# for several weeks been closed for repairs. will be open on Sunday for the regular service* both morning and evening.
