1:30 Convention called to
Mrs. II. veleome.
A middlw aged negro laborer entered the building of a northern Indiana Young Men s Christian association one day and asked to see the man who taught electricity. The secretary who met him surmised at first glance that he was looking for a Job. "Ah wants to learn 'lectricity," waa the prompt and disconcerting reply to a question. The negro took a small package from under his arm and unfolded its contents. "All been teachin' mahself from dese heah books, but ah don got stuck all on a sudden," he added sis he handed
i the textbooks to the secretary. They
were issued for beginners by a correspondence school. "Do you meant to say that you've been studying electricity from these
textbooks?" the negro was asked. "Yas. suh; ah suttinly does," he replied with a smile. "Why." mused the secretary, "lots of men with a college education would have a mighty hard time getting through these books." "Ah don't read 'em, boss," said the negro. "Man wife do dat. Lord sakes, ah kain't read or write either, but eti'm boun' ali'm goln' to learn 'bout dis heah 'lectricity. Ah done put a
hundred an' fifteen dollahs Into dese heah books, an' ah suttinly gotta get Kutnpin out'n hit." Xiy a little questioning the secretary discovered another of those "human interest" stories which so frequently turn up around an association huihlinnr. The colored man had long been a student of practical electricity, but he wanted a regular position as an electrician and had purchased an outfit of lessons and books from an agent who. ignoring the fact that the man could neither read nor writ, had painted the future of such a vocation in glowing term3. The negro and his wife had deprived themselves of food and clothing and matiy other necessities of life for the sake of his obtaining a knowledge which would bring him a better job than that of a day laborer. Many weary nights after
long days of hard work these two had pored over the technical books, she reading in her clumsy way and he trying his bent to understand the technical terms mispronounced. The Young Men's Christian association first taught the man to read in one of its niKht schools. Then he was put into a lass In electricity whose members were, for the most part, employes of their Instructor, an arrangement which meant practical results from the start. The case of the negro is typical of thousands of cases In this state alone, say association officials; cases of men,
native and foreign, white and black, who are depriving themselves every day of the comforts of life to secure a better education and a better position. Almost every day some of these men ask an association secretary to put them in the way of obtaining a broader knowledge in their own field or in one to which thy aspire. Immigrants make up a large share of these- men end their apepais in broken. halting English are sometimes pitiful to hear. The number of men who took adyantage of association night schools In Indiana last year was announced as being l.$3; but with the opening of the Gary night schools later in the year the number was increased in every branch of technical instruction. It is expected the annual report to be presented to the state convention at Hammond Nov. 23 will show at least 2,000 students enrolled in these educational classes. The principal night schools in the st&te are conducted at Indianapolis. South Bend, Gary, Marlon, Evansville, Hammond and Kokomo. 1 A recent Innovation in this work is
the employment or local business and professional men to conduct classes in
business law. commercial subjects and technical branches. At the Gary association more than a dozen professional men and steel mill experts conduct special night classes and other cities are planning to adopt the same system.

HISTORY COMMITTEE MEKTIXfi. The history cemmittee of the Ham
mord tomans club met at the home
of Mrs. Etta Ploomhoff and Mrs. V.
. Harrison In Mason street Monday
afternoon. It was one of the most instructive meetings of the vear. The
chairman, Mrs. Henry Kurk, being absent on account of illnes sat her home, Mrs. A. K. Knotts acted as chairman in a plensintr manner. Mrs. ravis. the secretary, whs also absent on Account
Love j of iunesR and Mrs. Thomnson took her
place. While we are searching for records of past events the printingpresses of today are constantly clickins off current events. Mrs. Ktta bake told of current events. We really thnuptht nothing of importance had escaped her eye as we had latest news on war, art, politic,, victory of woman suffrage jn some states, etc. An instrumental solo, "MurmuriiiK Zephyrs," by Jensen, played by Miss Dollie Knotts, was very lnuch enjoyed. A paper entitled "Modern Music of Italy" was next read by Mrs. p. J. Lyons. She stated that the world owed Ilalv a
fireat debt for all it had done for the art of music. Musical notation, theory and forms were invented and developed by ttie early Italians, much be-ins' done by monks. Italy was the musical center for many years, students froinK there for study and inspiration. Opera and oratory were originated there, while our piano was invented by an talian named Christnri. Italy has also led the world in violin playing. She introduced us to the composers of many of the operas of Italy. We listened next to a very pretty solo hy Mrs. George Hannauer entitled "Ave Maria," adapted to the intermezzo from Cavallerla Kusticanna. Her solo as usual whs more than appreciated. "Modern Italian Literature" was a paper next read by Mrs. A. F. Knotts. She said that the present ae of letters in Italy differ from most of the preceding- ages. The leading writer in Italy of the present period is Karctuhee. the opponent of the romantic school, and the restorer of ancient meter and spirit. He was great as a poet and distinguished as a literary critic and historian and a scholar of the bent German type. She also stated that it is much to be wished that more of the literary work of Italy were directed to solid, permanent work and less to the fiction which depicts only the manners of the day. We certainly pot full value for the time spent listening to the instructive pabers. Last, but not least, the social committee, composed of Mrs. Bloomheff, Mrs. T'ermedy, Mis. Barnett and Mrs. Wall, served a m"st delicious repast. Mrs. RichArd Winkler jrave a few remarks kindly requesting the members to promptly pay their dues so that the program and finance committees would know the amount they
