A MANUAL TRAINING HIGH SCHOOL. The action of the members of the board of education in taking steps to secure the site for a new manual training high school for Hammond is commendable notwithstanding the fact that this step has been forced upon them by the growing demands for an institution of this kind in this city. The first consideration is that of providing adequate quarters for the high school which is now so cramped that the efficiency of the institution is lessened as a result. Prof. F. D. McElroy estimates that there will be 350 students in the high school in another year or two. When the fact is considered that there are many colleges in the country with an enrollment no larger than this which have magnificent groups of buildings the Inadequacy of the present school may be appreciated. Superintendent McDaniel is of the opinion that in building a manual training high school in Hammond provision should be made for 800 students
If there is any room to spare in the first few years before the enrollment
grows to this figure, it can be devoted to eighth grade purposes. The broad foresight of the members of the board of education in build
ing for the future should be appreciated by the community. The present high school building was thought to be adequate for all future needs, a few years ago and now before the building has begun to get old It is entirely
inadequate to meet the needs of the city. The selection of the site is a matter for careful consideration. Trans portation facilities should be given careful attention when the great ex
panse of the city is taken into consideration and many of the students, ten
years from now, may be compelled to take the car to school just as they are now compelled to do in Indianapolis, Grand Rapids and a number of cities
of that size.
The need of a representative institution of learning in Hammond. is apparent. ''Indianapolis has its Shortridge and Manual Training high schools
which rise almost to the dignity of academies. They are a wonderful influences for the uplifting of the community. Hammond is lamentably backward in the matter of manual training.
The Whiting schools are far ahead of Hammond in this respect. Hammond is a manufacturing community and manual training is especially desirable in
cities of that character.
The courses in physics, chemistry, manual training and botany can
never be properly developed in the cramped quarters Hammond now has where adequate labratories are not provided. The business men of the city
shorrid hasten to give the members of the board to understand that the
project meets with their enthusiastic approval. The city administration
Bbould encourage the movement.
It is one of the few really big things that Hammond has undertaken and the first city of the county should not take a back seat to Gary, a city only
three years old and one third the size, in the matter of educational facilities

THAT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY.
The minority democrats in the city council in Gary have either been blessed with the most gracious luok, or are infinitely resourceful. At the municipal election four republicans were chosen for the council and three democrats, and yet at no time have the republicans been able to accomplish a single thing advantageous to their interests in the sessions of the council
thus far.
It is not meant that the criticism should be directed specifically against
Rowley or Bowser or Siemiasko or Szymanski, but it is against them col lectively. It may be that fate has been playing hard with these men, but in dlcations point to the fact that fate should not shoulder the entire respon
eibility. One failure to control the proceedings of the council might ,be classed as "unavoidable," but a constant repetition since the representatives took the oath of office looks as if some one ought to take a little time for
reflection.
At the first momentous meeting of the city council, George Manlove was
appointed by the council as city attorney. A few days later the republicans "came to" with a jolt when they found that Manlove had been ousted and Harvey Curtiss substituted in his place. Siemiasko became suddenly and mysteriously sick on the day of the meeting. His actions made a number of others sick also. The republicans by a tie vote with the democrats found themselves caught like rats in a trap and were powerless to prevent what was destined to happen. At a recent fateful meeting yhen all of the republicans gathering determined to retrieve the ground that they had previously lost, they again had a bucket of ice water splashed over their shoulders when they discovered that the meeting was a special meeting and that no other business could be transacted that was stipulated in the call of the mayor. Although these incidents have been most discouraging to one or two of the most ardent republican workers in the council it is thought that with a little time and forethought matters will properly adjust themselves and the republicans will have the influence which the vote of the people and the success of the party entitles them.
HIS LOVE FOR THE SOLDIER. "If any old soldier was urged to vote for Thomas R. Marshall for governor of Indiana, it Will be of interest to that old soldier to know how Gov. Marshall is showing his love for the civil war vetenm. The democratic governor had a chance to demonstrate his friendship. Ho w did he do it?" asks
the Indianapolis Politician? By appointing two young democrats in the places cf Adjt. Gen. Oran Perry and Q. M. Gen. George W. Powell. The retiring officers are civil war men of fine records. Gov. Marshall was asked to consider democratic veterans. He named other men. This is not to reflect on the new members of the sovernor's military staff. But a republican governor, in all likelihood, would have considered a fine precedent, set by republicans and would have appointed old soldiers to be adjutant general and quartermaster general of the state of Indiana. We can think of no adequate reason for ignoring the civil war veteran when it is possible to show appreciation for the service he so freely gave when that service was badly needed.
'BABY BLUE BIRDIE" has through some great convulsion of nature been' metamorphosed into a clairvoyant. In other words she alone knows what Gov. Marshall says and what he didn't say.
NOW IF the weather man will only put a little ginger into things for the next few weeks and the merchant crowd his bargains into the limelight, it Mill be a very merry Christmas!

INQUIRER It is impossible for us to describe the kob the latest animal shot by Roosevelt, until we can find out whether it Is on the ear or not. 4l PRESIDENT TAFT says he expects good things of the congress which meets Monday. Then the insurgents look at Uncle Joe and mutter sotto voce. THE biennial farce that has been going on In Indiana for a score of years the letting of the state printing graft, is over again.

THE Lake County Star is trying to find out the politcs of a bind pig, said last week: "The papers up north speak of republican blind pigs and democratic blind pigs, and it makes a difference what politics they are when brought before thecourt. A pig is no
longer a pig." 9i IT is certainly hard to figure out where this world is going to land one
of these days. An Arizona cowboy stopped a stage full of passengers, and made the mall wait while he read a poem of 32 verses dedicated to his Mary Jane. There are some things as bad as shooting. . MOUNT AYR girls ought to be proud of the editor of the Pilot. He said last week: Somebody claims to have discovered a substance .wheh is 300 times sweeter than sugar. The substance is supposed to be about 18 years old, wears a dress and is not as scarce in most communities as would be supposed.
THE THREE CIRCLES. We live inside of circles. In our thinking each of us is accus
tomed unconsciously to draw about us
certain circles of which we are the center.
For instanceEach individual 13 bounded by a
small circle which represents the re
lation and duty he holds toward himself and his family. Then outside this narrow circle is a larger one, which stands as the limit of bis relation and obligation to the community in which he lives. And then the individual draws with a wider sweep the arc of a circle, the full circumstances of which he can never know, which represents his duty and relation to all men everywhere. And-
However large the circle or however small, the geographical center of it is always the same self. Which fact naturally trends us more or less toward selfishness. Being born in the center of all these circles and living always as the hub around which they must revolve, the tendency is for us to live mostly in the smaller circle. We are prone to care only for our own, to seek for benefit of our own, to narrow our ambitions to the circumference of the little circle. Education must take us out of the narrow into the larger circles. If, besides living in the smaller world of self, we live also In the wider one of community Interest, then we have widened our ambitions and our sympathies and got into the field of civilized living. And if, besides living in these two circles, we also live in the great wide circle of human brotherhood we have come into the realm of real manhood and womanhood. ButSuppose we live only in the small
circle of self or in the circle of community life only to exploit humanity for our own benefit, or iu the wide world circle only to extort from it more than is our share? John K. L. Baron has fitly answered these questions when he puts it this way:
"To benefit self alone is greed. To
benefit self by wronging others Is crime. To benefit mankind is glory." That is it. To live only in the narrow circle is greed. To live in the larger circle in order to grab is crime.
But to live in the outermost circle ia
order to help is glorious.

"THIS IS MY f.'JTH BIRTHDAY" Richard II. Pratt. Brig.-Gen. Richard Henry Pratt, U. P. A., retired, the originator and founder of the famous Carlisle school for Indians, wos born in Rushford, N. Y., Dec. 6. 1S10, and served in a regiment of Indiana volunteers during the civil
war. lie came out of the war a captain, and was appointed to the regular establishment, in which he rose from grade to grade until his retirement five years ago. His early service in the regulars was hunting the Indians in the southwest, and by this occupation lie came to take a deep interest in the Indian problem. When a lot of Indian prisoners were ordered to be taken from Fort Sill to the old fort at St. Augustine, Fla., Colonel Pratt was detailed as 'commander of their guard and then ordered to com
mend the old fort to which they were taken. This experience increased his interest in the red man and soon afterward he suggested to the government the organization of an industrial school for Indians. When the school was opened at Carlisle, pa., in 1S79 he was made its superintendent ami remained In that position until his retirement from the army thirty-five years later.
