.Roberts method of assimilating aliens and the speedy and satisfactory results which are accomplished by it. Dr. Roberts, immigration secretary of the international committee, will demonstrate the work with the aid of several assistants and a group of fortiori workmen from local industries who have been selected for their ig

norance of the English langtiajif. The teaching of English by the author of this method is declared by state association officials to be one of the most interesting phases of ita industrial work and the importance Is set above that of any other single factor in its dealings with foreign-born men. Nearly 17.000 immigrants were taught to speak English last year in ST3 classes conducted by 1,179 teachers. Some of these classes were held during the midnight lunch hour. The men represented 45 different nationalities. The Roberts method is now used ex- ' rluslvely among associations. It is based on the fundamental idea that the ordinary foreigner needs few of the nnc points of "English and that he phould learn English as the child learns from its mother not by alphabet and a study of rules, but by imitating the teacher who performs the act indicated, exhibits the articles referred to and speaks the sentence describing the act. It 13 also unnecessary for the teacher to know a word of any foreign tongue. The first lesson is entitled "Getting Up in the Morning" The teacher stands before the class, shuts his eyes, yawns and stretches himself and says: "I awake from sleep." The class imitates the Instructor and repeats the sentence over and over again, until finally the instructor merely indicates the words by a slight motion of the hand or lips and the class recites the proper sentence unison. Other sentences follow with careful pronounciation and repetition: "I muf,' set up; I throw back the bed clothes: I get out of bed; I put on my pants; I put on my stockings and shoes: I wash myself; I comb my hair; I put on my ,collar and necktie; I put on my vest and coat; I open the door of my bedroom; I go down stairs." At the end of the period any alien who has repeated these sentences can

Ora L. Wiidermuth of Gary was yesterday elected president of the Indiana Library Trustees' association convention at the Claypool hotel In Indianapolis. The opening of assembly rooms of public libraries for social gatherings of

young men an. women was advocated by r. l.ida Leasure of Auburn. I'r. Leasure gave the report of the committee on wider uses of library assembly rooms. She suggested that one evening of each week be reserved for social hours, which should be informal. Mrs. Elizabeth Claypool Ea rl of Conncrsville, chairman of the committee on qunli tica t i on s of librarians and assistants, in her report introduced a tentative set of rules governing appointments, which was highly recommended by the association. I'nder the rules lfbrarians and assistants drawing a salary up to .,;!. a month would be required to have a hiuh school education besides other personal qualitteations, such as a knowledge of books and proficiency in the English brandies of high sehool work. Those paid front $35 to $,".0 a month should be college graduates with special training and one year of experience in library work. Those drawing from $fiO to $75 a month

should be college graduates with one year's preparation in a library training school. Those receiving above $75 a month should have a special training of two years besides a college education and some practical experience.

Wnstcs Committee Vamcrl. Henry Heller of Peoatur was appointed chairman of a special committee which will investigate wages and working hours of librarians. The legislative committee, with T. F. Rose of ?luncie as chairman, was reappointed. It. will draft a bill codifying Indiana library laws. Officers elected by the association for the ensuing year are: President Ora L. V," ildermuth. Vice president Mrs. "W. R. Davidson, Evansville. Secretary Miss Adnh E. Rush, Kentland. Treasurer Dr. E. T. Bailey, Martinsville. Executive committee Mrs. A. I Moffett. Elwood; L. E. Kelley, Montpelier. ami Carl If. Milam, Indianapolis. F. E. Cooper of Rl.iinfield. retiring treasurer, reported receipts $41. 45, expenditures $3 4.fi2. Miss Carrie Scott, Mooresville, made the report for the oonwnittee on hours and vacations. Art exhibits were discussed by Mrs. II. F. Johnston of Richmond. The secretary reported that fortyone of the 150 libraries of the state are enrolled as association members. The next meeting will be held here in November, 1913.

Total $45,500 At the rate of $45,500 a year, Indiana would draw from the senate pay roll $1S2,000 in four years, or $364,000 in eight years, if fortune should continue to smile on the democrats that long. It Is complained that this Is too much senate patronage for one state to absorb. Appllen Mho to Cabinet. The same battie cry, ' Indiana has tho vice presidency," will be used to prevent the appointment of an Indiana man to the cabinet and to take awayfront Indiana some of the fat positions which Hoosiers now hold in the foreign service.

SENSES RESTORED BY TRAMP FRIEND

Huntington, Ind., Nov. 14. The meeting with a tramp at the police station, with whom he had served In the navy, restored the senses and memory of John Kirk of Long Island, N. Y., who left an Erie train in this city. Kirk was on his way to Chicago to see a dying son, and when the train

reached this city Sunday he got off and' wandered into the country. He was; found by the police and when he reach- '

ed headquarters the sieht of John Rogers, a tramp, brought Kirk to his senses. The inert had not met for fifteen years. Kirk is wealthy. It is believed grief over his son's Illness was responsible for his mental state. He has gone to Chicago.

V. H. F. PARRY IS ALSO ENTERED

In addition to others who are now mentioned for the Gary mayoralty next year there is a good deal of talk of running H. F. Parry, the Tenth avenue trick dealer. Mr. Parry is vice chairman of the Calumet township republican committee and through his efforts the ten "patch" precincts went republican this year.' He is known as a conciliator and his candidacy is receiving favorable comment from republicans, hulls moosers and a lot of democrats.
