work was given over to discussions of points relative to problems that confront the teachers in their daily work as suggested from the institute outline. The vigorous discussions kept the institute alive from the tiinie it opened until the noon hour arrived.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

were decorated with portraits of Washington and Lincoln, both of which were draped with American flags. The entire room decorations •were expressions of plain and appropriate recognitions of America’s two greatest patriots. There were also samples of domestic science sewing and agricultural collections thus linking patriotism and industry as twin subjects taught in the schools. After each teacher had found her place at the two tables announcement was made that all should remain standing to sing thu first stanza of America. A chorus of high school boys and girls lead in the singjng in an adjoining room. This furnished an excellent patriotic setting for the many afterdinner speeches that followed the superbly prepared and served dinner. Miss Margaret Marshall acted as toastmaster and started the speaking off by announcing that an attempt would be imiade to do triple honor to St. Valentine, Washington and Lincoln in the after-dinner speeches. Ransom Hr Heck, a junior in the Demotte high school, was introduced by the toastmaster and he responded by reading Jefferson’s " “Character of Washington,” after which he spoke Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address.” The young man stood under the portrait of the patriot whom -he was eulogizing in each rendering. Miss Marshall called upon a number of the teachers who gave appropriate tales and stories in memory of either Lincoln or Washington. Those who responded were Mrs. Fred Wolf, Grace Poole, Margaret Delahanty, Lottie Porter, Lila Delahanty, Supt. L. J. Arend, William May, Grace Knapp, Nina Yeager, Paul W. Ashby, Margaret Yeager, Mrs. Huntington. After the eulogies from these teachers were given the toastmaster presented the local minister at Demotte, who paid some excellent tributes to Abraham Lincoln. This program was closed by Opal Halleck, another junior in the Demotte high school, who recited an ode on the life Of Washington and Walt Whitman’s “O Captain, My Captain.” The patriotic thrill that came from this program will serve as a stiynulus to the teachers when they resume thetr work so that the spirits of these two greatest of America’s leaders will be imparted to the children under their supervision, thus serving as a guide towards making our young people in northern Jasper 100% American.

STATE NEWS ITEMS

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. RULING HITS SOME SCHOOLS i Stansbury Decides Children Attending Certain Private Institutions May Be Classed as Truants—Studies j Must Be of Wider Range. Indianapolis, Feb. 13.—Ele Stansbury. attorney general, in an opinion submitted to L. N. Hines, state superintendent of public instruction, held Jn substance that all private and parochial schools in Indiana must have a course of study “substantially equivalent” to the course prescribed for the public schools. Attendance of children between the ages of seven anti sixteen years at a school having a lower standard than the public schools will not be a compliance with the Indiana compulsory education law, the attorney general held. In asking for the opinion, Mr. Hines said: “A certain private school, supported either by private op church funds or both, is in session from 9 a. in. to 3 p. in., during five days of the week. The subjects taught in the school are: Bible and catechism, arithmetic, reading, spelling ami writing. These subjects are taught in the English language. The subjects of history, geography, physiology, grammar, agriculture, .domestic science, included in the prescribed state course of study for the elementary schools, are not taught. “Dol pupils between the ages of seven and sixteen, attending this school meet the requrements of the ■compulsory school-attendance law of Indiana?” The conclusion reached by Mr. Stansbury after a review of the laws bearing on the subject, is as follows: “from an examination of the authorities herein above cited and the compulsory education statute, it is my opinion that pupils do not comply with such statute by attending a private or parochial school wherein is taught only arithemtic, reading, spelling, writing and the Bible and catechism and wherein history, geography;, physiology, grammar, agriculture and domestic science are not taught. “It is my opinion that attendance at a school having a course of study substantially equivalent to the course prescribed for the public schools, will alone be a compliance with the Indiana compulsory education law.”
