Hammond Is about to take another forward step " by inaugurating the school savings system, a feature of education that Is old In Gat-many and Switzerland, and well established In some Vnited States cities, among them a number in Indiana, notably South Bend. The board of education now has the matter under advisement, and hopes through the co-operation of the local banks to establish what is known as the Rieman School savings bank system. J. F. Rieman, formerly superintendent of the public schools at Hudson, Mich., and now the publisher of the simplified banking system, also hopes to see the local parochial schools take up this educational feature. Because of the co-operation of the banks, the system ; can be Introduced without any cost to the schools or patrns. The objet is to teach thrift in youth, and to put a check on the wasteful expenditure of money for those things that prudence does not dictate as essential. The school savings bank is operated on the following plan. Sytem Is Simplified. One day in the week, preferably Friday, is set aside as bank day. The

bookkeeping plan is so simplified that

the teacher, acting as cashier for the

pupils, can dispose of the work in a few minutes. The pupils may bring

such sums of money as they may have

and deposit it with the teacher, who

will issue to each a school savings

bank two and the other Institutions one.

ited. As soon as a child has deposits amounting to a dollar or more, the local bank, acting as depositary of funds,

will Issue one of its own savings passbooks with the full dollar or dollars credited therein. After the passbook has been issued the pupil will deposit savlgs as he can, and succeeding full dollars will be credited at once to the

personal account of the child at the depositary, and a credit slip issued, which will be given the pupil. Thus it will be seen the full dollars will always be bearing Interest according to the bank's rules, and, as all moneys deposited with the teacher are sent the same

day to the local bank, the whole trans

action is business like and surrounded

by the same safeguards the business world has In its transaction. School Sarlncm System Tried. The schools will be apportioned to the banks on a basis of the latter's business capacity; thus the First National bank will take care of three schools, the Citizens' German National bank two an the other Institutions one. The success of the institution will depend on parental co-operation and personality of the teacher. In the state of Massachusetts It Is compulsory for the teachers to devote a half hour a week to giving Instruction aimed to develop the habit of thrift. School savings banks were first inintroduced in this country by Superintendent Thirey of the Long Island city school, thirty-five years ago. The system has been in operation in Pittsburg for twenty-five years, and In South Bend for fifteen years. Recently It has been introduced in Indiana at Peru, Wabash, Logansport and Mishawaka. It is not to be confounded with a boyville bank. In Germany and Switzerland the most advanced countries on subjects

of education, school banks have been

in vogue for generations.

Bankiaa- Not Compulsory,

There is nothing compulsory in connection with the system. Experience has shown that not all parents and pu

pils can be interested in it, but the

great' majority are interested, and what

Is more, the interest is ot spasmodic,

but lasting. Mr. Rieman, speaking to The Times about the savings bank system, said: "It Is not intended to develop miserly habits in our youth.

but the children do need a stimulus to develop a habit essentially necessary. The boy or girl who spends his or her nickels and dimes as fast as

they get them in their youth will later do the same with their dollars. They

grow up and belong to that large class

which never has a dollar at its com. mand in an emergency, and when mis fortune strikes them they blame everything and everybody but themselves.'

Kansas City arrived home today, and the members express their praise for the work of the body and will do their share towards starting a conservation propaganda in Lake county. The Lake county men who represented this part of the state at Kansas City were Oscar Dinwiddle of Lowell, Sam B. Woods of Crown Point and P. A. Parry of

Hammond. Mat J. Brown, president of the board of county commisisoners. who was in Hammond this morning, Is

MUSICAL CORPS

RECORD

Hammond has a musical organization

that has broken several records.

The Christian church choir has the

distinction of being the largest chorus

choir in northern Indiana, it is absolutely self-supporting, the members paying:

dues and giving concerts to pay their

director and buy their own music, hav

ing never received a penny from the church treasury, and they have the

further distinction of havlnor had the

largest concert audience ever assembled in Hammond at their first annual concert Just one year ago. the audience numbering about 1,200.

They will give their second annual

concert Oct. 12th, ith the assistance

of Alice' Geneviev Smith, . harpist, of Chicago, who delighted the immense audience of last year, and other, to be announced later, and it is expected

that this year's crowd will eclipse that

of last year.

disagreeable weather. The hours for dancing continued betwen eight-thirty and twelve o'clock. Informal dancing was enjoyed until ten o'clock when the program dances were announced. The programs showed several novel dance among them a "Punk Dance" during which the dancers carried sticks of Japanese punk. The effect was very attractive. Frappe was served In the refreshment room during the intermissions. The musical program was directed by Mr.' Walsh fcnd the numbers were very pretty. The party last ecenlng was the first of a series to be given by the members of the council this winter, the next one to take place in October. SOMETHING NEW IN CHURCH WORK There Is a great gulf fixed between the Sunday school and the church in too manyicases and the young men and women who feel that they have got beyond Sunday school drop into the gulf and are lost to the church and lose

for themselves the best of life. To a

considerable extent this is the result of

training and example. The boys and

girls are taught to go to Sunday school but not to the preaching service. They

observe that their fathers and moUxcrt

do not go to Sunday school and they

look forward to the time when they too

may have the privilege of doing the i things that their parents and elder brothers and sisters do on Sunday morning instead of going to Sunday school. And when that time comes

they drop out entirely, not having been trained to go to the preaching service. To correct these difficulties a service has been arranged which combines the

two services Into one. Instead of having two sessions of an hour each," the new way is to have one service of an

hour and a half, the first half preaching service, then music and marching to

classes, then the lesson study.

The first Baptist church of this place has voted to adopt this method for three months' trial beginning next Sun

day morning at half past ten. There

will be classes for all ages. Parents who have been afraid to send their chil

dren across the tracks to Sunday school

may now come with them, sit with them In the preaching service and go

home with them after the Bible study, thus strengthening the family bond.

LECTURE TO BE REPEATED. The stereopticon lecture on the Pas

sion play at the Baptist church last Tuesday night drew such a large at

tendance that there was not even standing room and many people were not even able to get into the building. In response to numerous requests the

pastor, Rev. Floyd H. Adams will give the same lecture Tuesday night October 17th. WILL LEAVE THURSDAY. Mrs. F.- S. Betz received a cablegram from her husband today In which he stated that he would leave for home next Thursday. This is two weeks earlier than he expected to come and it is believed that he and Mr. W. B. Conkey, Mrs. Conkey and their daughter Jane will all return on the same boat. AN AFTERNOON MEETING. At her home In Ridge road, Mrs. J. Wesley Reed very pleasatly entertained entertained the members of the Col

onial club yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Reed entertained at a thimble party, and the guests spent an enjoyable time with their needle work. Music ad social conversation were other features of the afternoon until 4:80, when a dainty luncheon of two courses was served. It was the regular bi-monthly meeting to which only the club members were Invited. Several were in attendance. Mrs. W. F. Brunt was named as the next hostess, and she will entertain at her home in Mason street Thursday afternoon, Oct. 12th.

pretty party yesterday afternoon at her

The plans were made for the series of parties to be given this winter and the next meeting will take place in two weeks on Thursday afternoon. " The hostess will be named later.

ll tne rumor proves 10 d true, n is a significant fact that Papp's resignation follows on the heels of that of Jacob Friedman, the city sealer. It Is suggested that the two constituted as excellent a team In a ward as could be desired, and with one out of the game the situation would be much like one of Bud Fisher's cartoons with either Mutt or Jeff out of it. Jacob Friedman, whose resignation goes into effect next Monday, because he failed to get a salary increase in the 1912 budget, Is making plans to move to East Chicago, where he will join his brother In the Friedman's Family Liquor house. With both Friedman and Papp out of the political band wagon In the Standard Steel Car district, the democratic fences will eed immediate fixing, but fixed as might be it will remain an unknown quantity until after the next election.

The New Orpheum. The new vaudeville house which is being built in the Sehutz theater building will be known as "The New Orpheum." .It will take the name that Is given to ali of the theaters In the Orpheum circuit. The theater is being rapidly rushed to completion. It is understood that Mrs. Schutz has negotiated the extra

ed Toung Ketchel of Chicago in a tenround no-declsion go. Hammond admirers of Young Stewart were surprised at his clever footwork and blocking Ketchel's ugly uppercut which time and time again he tried to administer to the local boy for a K. O. But Young Stewart only smiled and when he saw It coming he either stepped to one side or brushed the blow off. Local fans were given the Impression that Young Ketchel was a wild man and looked for the Chicago boy to make a better showing, but Young Stewart, trained to the minute, with his wind good for ten more rounds and worked down to sinew and muscle, was equal to the occasion. Ketchel in all the rounds took the part of the aggressor and a number of fans thought he deserved a shade the best in the go. But Stewart was always on deck with the punches and clean blows and had his man outclassed in that respect. When it came

to clinches Stewart showed his ability, at Infighting and had his man worried.' "The fight went the full ten rounds

and Stewart was just as fresh at the end of the go as when he stepped into the ring. Ole Olson, the ex-champion, was In Stewart's corner and administered the head work to Stewart. The preliminary, six rounds between Jimmy Thomas and Freddie Moore of Chicago at 116 pounds, was a one-sided affair and was stopped before the gong rang in the first round. Moore had the best of the affray and would have likely stowed Thomas away in another round if the match had not been stopped.. The seml-wlndup. eight rounds between Ruby Hirsch of Chicago and Johnnie McKenna, an East Chicago boy, was stopped in the sixth round by

Referee Santry. The contestants fought at 116 pounds and although Mc-I
