Have ftm aeen the school boy go paaV

the central bnildlne and loots tor tat doors to open agrafnT Ha-re yon mi him pining- for a aicht o( the amlllac face of his teacher? Have 70a seen him take hlii slate aad hla books from their summer storinc place and (lance through them with a smile which told only too plainly of his enthusiastic anxiety tor school to begin Tf Instead, 'the dark shadows of the school room threaten. The familiar sound of the teacher's has its own peculiar foreboding? for the bor who for three months has been free. "Sclwol days, school days, dear old g-olden rule days,' when "readln' an' wrrttln an' 'rithmetic" will Be "taught to the tune of a hickory (moral . auasion) stick" will soon be here. In fact, this time next week, the little girls with big ribbons In their hair and the boys with their stubborn locks, iwet-combed, will be bending over their desks. The Teacher Is Ready for Them. The tall, thin, dignified teacher, smiling over her pince-ner (collectively described) will welcome the students Into their new rooms, will Inculcate In tbem a proper regard for their Increased responsibilities and will finally dismiss them with the outline of their

new work Tn rhelr"Tia"8s "anSa IVft' of the books they need In their hands. After a period of educational depression the scholar factories will resume and the "product this year Is expected to- be yp to. the high' standard already set, and more numerous than ever.' ........ ., It will take eighty-one school ma'ams to handle the output this year and they will have to work as they never worked " before to hold ' down their jobs. In addition to an active and progressive superintendent In C. M. McDaniel,

and the young and energetic principal of the high school In Frank McElroy, who comes well recommended, there has been the new office of supervising principal created, which will "be hld by Prof. W. JL Hill, a man who has devoted many years of his life to the local schools and has done much to raise them to their present high standard. Faetor la octal Life. Under these men will be the principals and the host of girls whose one absorbing ambition will be to teach the young Idea how to shoot. Girls? Of course they are girls. Full of life, energy and enthusiasm for their work. When the school teachers come they will leaven the entire social life of the city and their Influence will be felt In every line of social activity. Hammond is peculiar In that the school teachers find this city a pretty good place to lay up a penny, but in the summer they go oft on vacations in a hundred different parts of the country. Most of them find their way back, but some of them wander away, never to return. This year the mysterious disappearance Includes three of the best-known teaohers In the schools. Miss Starr was the first, Miss Bessie Ripley was the seoond, and then, at the last moment. Miss Gertrude Stamp turned up missing. Finds Many Recruits. But Supt. McDaniel Is rapidly finding

recruits and the ranks are rapidly being refilled. The only other teachers out of the eighty-one who have decided during the vacation months that they will not return to Hammond to teach are Miss Van Auken and Miss Honeyman. During the past three months there have been more improvements made In the local schools than In any one year before. In the central school the necesssity for making more room resulted in turning Supt. McDaniel's office Into a recitation room. His office was moved to the third floor In the rear of the auditorium, where he Is in cramped but comfortable quarters. The dressing rooms in the rear of the stage have. been conVerted into recitation rooms for the bookkeeping and stenographic departments. . The old hot air ' heating plant has

been torn out and in its place the

building Is to -be heated by steam.

This will be a decided Improvement

and will put an end to the trouble which has been . found with this sys

tem. New Fire Escapes Installed.

The new fire escapes which have been

Installed on both sides of the build

lng are an assured success and are

now ready for any emergency. hv

will make the central building one f

the safest in the state. The new fire escapes are a -novel " circular " slide

which take the students quickly - and

safely to the ground.

The new building,-' known - as the

Wallace school, , which Is located at the corner of Conkey and Calumet avenues, will be ready for occupancy and

will be one of the best equipped In the city. . .

Although the school officials have

no money with which to build the much-needed manual training high scool building, the superintendent and the members of the board of education

are working on a plan which they hope will enable them to get hold of the necessary money.

It may be reasonable to expect that

within two years Hammond will be provided with a manual training high school building that will be the equal of any in the state. It is possible that

an enabling act will be Introduced In the legislature this winter.

Manual Training Introduced. In the meantime, manual training is

being introduced In the schools as rapIdly as the Inadequate facilities will permit. In the Franklin, Irving, Riverside and Lafayette schools bench work has already been Introduced. This

is a feature in which the people of Hammond are deeply Interested and any progress along this line will meet with the approval of all progressive citizens.

The school work which Is now recognized as the equal of that In any school in the state will be kept at Its present high standard and will

continue to be the model for many

other schools in the state. Other Departments Active. In the extraneous departments of

school activity, such as the literary societies, the work In oratory, music and athletics will be good, but It is almost too much to hope that the school will have another such remark-

kble series of successes as It had last year.

Another week and thousands of stu

dents will be engrossed in the activities of school life. The great educational Institutions of the city will be En full operation, and even if the boy loes balk at the first of this vear's

jschool days, he will be happier and

better when he finally gets into its cally routine ! .
