FORMER PRESIDING ELDER WOOD I IS DEAD AT BATTLEGROUHD

Dr. Delos M. Wood, former district superintendent of the Valparaiso district, at which time he made his, headquarters In Hammond, whose critical illness was mentioned in these columns last week, died yesterday morning at his home at Battle Ground, Ind. His death was not unexpected either by himself or by his many friends, hut the news Is nevertheless received with deep regret throughout the Northwestern Indiana conference, where he had

Worked so earnestly and successfully

for many years. The, funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 9:30 at Battle Ground, after which the body will be

sent to South Bend for burial there

oh Thursday.

Dr. D. M. Wood Is survived by his widow, his daughter, Miss Louise

Wood, and a son, who is a South Bend business man. Wae Prepared to Die. Two years ago Dr. Wood was transferred from the district superlntendency to an executive office in the Indiana Methodist hospital at Indianapolls. In addition to this work he devoted couslderable time to De Pauw university, he having been the vice president and trustee of that institution. He worked hard at the hospital and when he was taken down last winter with a severe attack of pneumonia his constitution was weakened and hewas unable to recover completely. Heart trouble resulted and this finally caused his death.

The Northwestern Indiana Methodist encampment is now on, and many of the visitors there inquired anxiously from day. to day about his condition. Dr. Wood himself looked forward to his death with a calmness that was astounding. The Rev. Swltser Gets Sews. The Rev. W. F. Switzer of the First Methodist church of Hammond received word of the death of Dr. Wood this morning.

These supervisors will take up the

work of manual training, art, penmanship, music and physical education. Groan da Are Enlarged.

The past year was an exceptionally 1

good year for the schools In the way of getting . additional grounds. The grounds of the Washington, Franklin, Lafayette and Irving schools h bevae Lafayette and Irving schools have been enlarged. In addition to this seven acres have been purchased for the manual training high school. Judging from the results in the past, i Hammond's schools have a splendid future. Superintendent ' McDanlei's five years' labor in Hammond is beginning to show results, and it has been a notable fact and matter of comment among the high school teachers that each year the classes that move up into the high school are stronger than those of the preceding year.

ence,' said the Rev. Switzer thli morning. "Dr. Wood was a man of remarkable foresight, excellent judgment, and this accounts for his excellent record as trustee of De Pau wuniverslty."

Dr. Wood was born in Warren county in 1848 and was graduated from the theological department of De Pauw university. At one time he was pastor of the Lebanon (Ind.) church, and later went to South Bend, Ind. He was formerly presiding elder of the Greencastle district. He resided the last two years In Indianapolis at 1721 North New Jersey street, until his departure for Battle Ground last June. He Is survived by a widow, a son, "William F. Wood, South Bend; and a daughter, Louise, now with her mother at Battle Ground. The funeral services will be held in the Tabernacle on the camp ground at Battle Ground at 9:30 tomorrow morning. Dr. H. A. Gobin, president of De Pauw university, will be one of the speakers.

is now being done. In this brancTl

t the pupils work up to the seventh-year without a text book, the teachers being guided in their work merely by the suggestions that Superintendent McDaniel has made for them in the course of study. In this period the faculty of narration is developed both orally and in written composition. In the seventh and eighth grades thfs work is combined with descriptive composition and

so on through the high school until the students are fully equipped to use the English language, to express them- , selves, correctly, concisely, with force j and all the other attributes needed in a i good composition. j The teachers are still in the midst of their vacation. Superintendent McDaniel, however," allowed himself but a week, which he spent at Crawfordsvllle, his former home, where he combined business and pleasure, he being one of the trustees of Wabash college.

now being done in the lower grades the pupils will be enabled to round out a full course. This work will be in charge of W. K. Bverly, who comes to Hammond from Lincoln, 111. The health and physical development of the pupils will have special attention this year under the supervision of Harry C. Buck, who comes to Hammond from Springfield, Mass. Will Have Public Speaking. Public speaking will receive attention in the high school in connection with the course in English. This work is

elective and will be under the supervision of Miss Grace Hauk, who comes to Hammond from the Chicago university. Another innovation for the Hammond schools, which is in keeping with the progress of the city, is the fact that the various school principals instead of having to give part of their time to teaching, will be placed In a position where they can devote their entire time to superintending the work in their respective schools. In this way the will also be enabled to devote some of their time to students who are somewhat slow in their studies. In adidtlon to the principals, the school system of Hammond will have five supervisors who will devote their entire time as specialists to one particular branch in all the schools.

j TIMES BUREAU,

AT STATE CAPITAL. j Indianapolis, Ind., ug. 9. State

Chairman Lee is expecting good results

fro mthe organization meetings which are being held this week by the republicans in every county in the state. The fifteen teams of organizers started out yesterday morning for the various parts of the state, and each held an organization meeting yesterday. It Is understood that special attention is being given by the organization teams to a careful study of local conditions in order that no mistakes may be made in the work of organizing the forces. This is regarded as an extremely necessary plan and it will be

handled with great care. 1 The meetings will continue throughout the week, and by Saturday night it is expected that eveiy county In the state, with two exceptions, will have been visited and that ninety county meeings will have been held. Another line of organization work that the republicans will take up and push this year is the work among the new voters and the young men. The latter line will be looked after practically exclusively by the Indiana Lincoln league which has established a campaign headquarters at the headquarters of the state committee. M. L. Clawson of this city is the new secretary of the league, having been ap

pointed last week by President Elmer

Hastings of Washington, and he will

spend much of his time at headquarters during the campaign. Clawson is a firm believer In the idea of or

ganizing the young men.

'State Chairman Lee and I have Ideas

along the same line in this regard,

said Clawson, yesterday. "We believe

that the republicans should take spe

cial pains to get the votes of the young

men. The young men enter Into their first campaign with a vim and energy

that Is not so apparent in older men,

They enjoy a political fight, especially when they are taking a hand in it themselves. I believe the young men

of the state are favorable to Senator Beveridge, because he is also a young man, vigorous, virile and a conscientious and fair fighter. He is just the kind of a man to win the admiration

and the support of the young voters. I figure, also, that the party can depend on the 3'oung man for the next twenty or thirty years while It can depend on the old man for only another four or five or ten years. The young man will live to vote for many more years than the older man. Therefore, I believe that for the good of the party not only now but In the future it Is important to get the young voters started right. "The Lincoln league this year wilt make a special effort to organize the young men into clubs and to get them to join wherever It is possible. We propose to organize a republican club In every precinct in the state If we can, even If It has only five members. Just

a sufficient number to fill the club of

fices. A club In a neighborhood, even If small, lends a great deal of Influence to the work of the campaign. It puts life and interest Into the members and encourages republicans to work for success. There may be precincts In which a club cannot be organized, and if we find any such places we will organize the township. At any , rate republican clubs will be organized at every available point. And we do not propose to let the club spirit die out at the close of the campaign. We want to kep It alive untlL the presidential campaign In 1912. We hope to have the interest aroused so that the Lincoln league will hold county and district meetings next year, which Is an off year, just the same as It holds a state meeting. I am positive that this will be a great good to the party In the next presidential campaign. And If this plan can be carried through, as I believe it can, the party will be In fine shape to enter upon the presidential campaign. We will have a magnificent organization to jump right in with and begin the fight. "State? Chairman Lee Is a fine organizer and he believes the Lincoln league can do a great work along this line. Ho Is giving the movement his active support and will keep in close touch with everything that is done along that line. President Hastings of the league wil lspend a large pari of his time during the campaign and he and Chairman Lee ought to be able' to make things hum."
