PETITIONS AGAINST THE STEP

8:30 Opening for Schools at East Chicago Meets With Opposition; Parents Circulating Petitions Against the Fad.

In of

Petitions are binp circulated Kast Chicago prnyiner the board

niucaiiun to ananilon the early open- i j

i -it; mi scmrai uiea ana return to the old hour of 9 o'clock. While some of the parents are pleased with the advancement of the time of opening the morning- session to 5:30 o'clock, others think it too early, and the petitions are the result. Dissatisfaction began to rankle on

the first day of school, it

w hen

appea rs,

a number of the mothers of

children entertns: their young hopefuls in school, met casually and discussed th situation. Among those opposed were Mj.idamos John K. Francis of Olcott avenue, Alfred Berquist, Ed Jones and F.d Hlgplns. Nobody wanted to take the Initiative and protest, but a few of them, namely, the above-mentioned, flnally ngreed to circulate petitions among their friends, if these were preparod. They were prepared and up to last evening fifty-three names had been securest. The mothers' protest is based on the following objections: The hours are too long for the younger children. It is a hardship on the mothers, where a number of children are attending school, to prepare them at o early an hour. i Too much of a strain on the teachers, who are rendered nervous by tho long grind and are therefore rendered unable to give of the best of their endeavor to the children. On cold winter morning it is colder at S o'clock, when many of them are obliged to live in order to get to school on time under the new regime, than at 8:30. when they would have to leave with the P o'clock opening hour

force. It is especially hard on the chil-

who live on the north side and

have to go to the McKlnley school, for example," said Mrs. Francis. "And it is especially hard on the mothers who are obliged to get them ready for school, when there are a number of children to prepare. Why, at 8 o'clock, when my children are obliged to start, it will be scarcely more than daylight in the winter." At the' Commercial club there was

an informal discussion of the change among the men before the meeting. A number objected on the same grounds as do the women. The early opening hour idea, on tho otTier hand, has its friends as well na its opposers. There are some who believe the extra half hour tacked onto the morning session,- when the children are fresh from their long rest of the night, is beneficial. The practice of opening school at 8:30 has found favor in other cities, namely Milwaukee, where that has been the prevailing hour for a number of years. In Gary tho schools open at S:30 o'clock.

Employers and educators of Lake county agree that the most lamentable lack of learning with which they have to contend is the prevailing ignorance of the correct use of Die Knglish language. The means of effectively remedy this deplorable condition has been a pedagogic puszle. Tub Times believes that it offers its readers today the solution In commencing the distribution of the best educational work ever embodied in one volume of convenient size, the new- Websterian 1912 Dictionary. Illustrated. Libraries of many volumes, universities of many departments, schools, colleges and classes and all the educational army and impedimenta are of no use to the average person who can not or will not go to them when information -or instruction is required, but The Times offers a comprehensive course of at-th-lbow education to everyone.

THE BLOCK SYSTEM

In view of tho rapid interurban development that has taken place in Dake county the following will be of interest to those representatives of traction companies who were unable to be present at the hearing- at Indianapolis: More than thirty officials of interurban lines in Indiana assembled yesterday at a hearing before the state railroad commission to discuss the block signal situation in the state. The fact was broucrht out that the signal systems still are In the experimental stace, and the commission, after hearing discussion, 'continued tho case thirty days, after which time the roods will appear individually and point out the need of the various lines for block slpnals. .Some of the roads expressed a desire to be excused for a time from installing-sig-nal systems other than those already In use, because they declared their business at this time did not warrant such expenditures as would bo necessary. Others said they desired to install signal systems only at daneerous places In their tracks. The commission Bnortly will issue a circular to the roads, asking- for Information as to the requirements of each road, in the belief of the officials. That information will be used as a basis of action by the commission at the future individual hearings of the road. The automatic signals have been installed on the T. II., 1. & K. lines, extending fifteen miles from Brazil east. The I. V. T. lines nave Installed the system from Oklandon east eighteen miles. The former road has experienced some difficulty, according to M. M. Hovey, signal Inspector for the commission, with the new system chielly because of its novelty. The statute passed by the 1911 legislature gave the, commission supervision of the installation of the signal systems, providing for such installation on all the roads by January l. 1912, unless the commission saw fit to extend the tlm's limit.

incoming business of the steel corporation during August was at the rate of 50,00k tons a day, while shipments were made at the rate of 42,000 tons a day, a gain of s.OOO tons a day for the unfilled tonnage total. Although there has been a large volume of business booked so far in .September, a falling off in the total orders booked as compared with the total shipments would not be regarded as an unfavorable development consider

ing that a vast amount of business has been placed during the past yoar and deliveries have been very heavy. The St. Paul railroad yesterday Increased its rail orders for 1913 shipments by 10,000 tons. The Purlington has ordered 1.000 freight cars from the American Car and Foundry company and th est. Paul 5 00 ballast cars from the same company. It is reported that the New Haven has ordered 1.000 box cars from the Taorna Car company, locomotives. The American locomotive company has booked an order for The M. K. T. is in the market for 40 ten freight locomotives for the Son line and one for the Rural Valley railroad. Cast iron pipe sales made during the last few days have been at a price about 25 cents a ton higher than prevailed last week. Large orders from different western railways for cars and equipment were reported yesterday. The aggregate announced as having been placed was 10,500 box cars, 500 hoppwrs. 200 auto cars and 100 ballast. The fol

lowing are the railroads ordering this equipment : Chicago, Burlington &. Quincy, 3,500 box ears. Northern Pacific, 2,500 box cars. Missouri, Kansas &. Texas, 2.000 box --( is. Kansas City Southern, 1.000 box cars. V'nlon Pacific, 1,000 box cars. .San Antonio fc Arkansas Pass, BOO box cars. Kansas City Southern. 2"0 auto op.rs. Kansas City Southern, 100 ballast

cars. According to railroad men the car shortage anjund Chicago is unprecedented. It Is felt peculiarly by subsidiaries of the United Sta'ts Steel corporation. The Universal Portland Cement company Is said t - be Mijvt 1.500 cars at Huffington, and other branches of this company are three weeks behind in the delivery of orders because of car shortage. All fear a serious car famine this fall.
