CROWDING OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS Hammond is beglning to experience the crowding of its public schools just
as have the other rapidly growing cities of the region. In a community
that is doubling its population every
five or ten years it is difficult to build
school buildings fast enough to ac comodate the increase.
especially is una true wnen ex
penditures are restricted by an in
elastic law which limits the bonded
indebtedness of the school city to two
percent of the assessed valuation. This law makes no distinction be
tween an old sleepy town like Greencastle and a live, rapidly growing city
like those In the Calumet region which must anticipate the future in
every building that is constructed.
There is just one other reason why
relief is not afforded the citizens of
Hammond in the matter of the crowd
ing of the public schools. It is the litigation which has tied the city up
for the past two years.
The supreme court is soon to tak
up the matter of the motion of the defense for a rehearing in the case
in which the school city was enjoine.
from proceeding with the building of
the manual training school.
If William J. Whinery, the attor
ney for Contractors Caldwell & Drake cared to ask to have the case advanced tb a hearing it could be settled within n few days. And then with that out of the way the present board would be in a position to again set in motion the project for the building of a manual or vocational training school in Hammond. But the hearing of this case is being unreasonably delayed and in the
Central school every available bit of space must be pressed into servce to accomodate the pupils who are sent
there. ' This winter will find conditions in
the Central school deplorable
(difficulty of ventilating thq rooms I
will be great. In the summer time
the windows are thrown open and it
does not make much difference.
The construction of the manual
training school will take all of the
high school students from the Central school building. It will make it possible to use that building exclusively for the grade schools. The litigation that was started by
the citizen's committee was a necessary check on the activities of the
board at that time. The purpose was
accompjlished. The courts have pre
scribed and circumscribed the activi
ties of the board.
And now that that is done and
there remains just one more point to
be decided a play for time Is ill be
coming to a citizen who should be in
terested in an early settlement of the case no matter which way it goes.
The crowding of the schools is due
to the delay in building the new manual training school and if these
legal matters can be decided this
winter it should be possible to com
mence the construction of the much
needed building next spring.
tween men," said the laborer, commenting upon the work of his fellows, "but what little there is, is VERY IMPORTANT." The difference between the man who lays a brick and the man who lays a brick STRAIGHT, is SMALL in inches, but GREAT in results. The difference between a tall man and others is only a few inches
about three or four per cent of the!
average height scarcely the length of a finger. Yet Saul was chosen King of Israel because he was a few inches taller than his fellows. A world's record brings fame to an obscure person by the margin of a few seconds that saves his achievement from oblivion. There is little difference between men who succeed and men who fail if you measure with the yard stick, the scales or the decimal system, just as there is only a trifle of distance be
tween the level ground and the first step upward. The big difference comes here: Each step upward gets you ready for the next. The man who is CHOSEN from tho crowd is only a little better than the rest, half of one per cent 8 a. m. Instead of 8:05 but he attracts attention by that trifle, and gets into the ADVANCED CLASS. Here the contact with other bright
minds sharpens his own, and by the turn of an idea a little better than the others have, he rises again. New responsibilities come to him and once more, among still brainier men, mind sharpens mind and he produces another idea, "a little above the average." Rut the average gets higher with every leap toward the blue invisible. Progress is infinite for the man who is always a little better than he has to be to hold his job.
rest are unknown or doubtful. Hut the scion of the good family who started this long line of delinquent and defective progeny is also responsible for a strain of an entirely different chaarcter. After the Revolutionary War was over, he married a Quaker girl of good ancestry and settled down to live a respectable life after the traditions of his forefathers.
From this legal union with a normal woman there have been 9ti descendants. All of these except two have been of normal mentality. , The exceptions were cases of insanity, presumably inherited through marriage with an outside strain in which there was a constitutional psychopathic tendency. In all the 496 there Is not an instance of feeble-mlndedness. The offspring descended from this side of the house have universally occupied positions in the upper walks of life. They have never been criminal or ne'er-do-wells. On the other hand, there has not been a single instance of exceptional ability among the descendants of the first Martin Kallikak and the feeble-minded girl. Most of
these descendants have failed to rise above the dead level of mediocrity; indeed, most of them have fallen far below even this minimum standard. This striking study in heredity is commented on at length in a recenl number of The Journal of the Ameri
can-Medical Association. Jcliet

HEALTH OF CHILD IN SCHOOL. Do you eat breakfast every day?
Do you drink coffee or tea? Do you have your bedroom window open or shut at night? Do you own a tooth

These and other pertinent ques

MOOSE-PERJURER. Harry Moose self-confessed perjurer says he has pleaded guilty because his conscience troubled him. We are not surprise!!. Moose, unfortunate and self-deluded man is just a liar. That is all there is to it. He admits it himself. The status of his case however is just as difficult. If he lied before how is the ordinary man going to
find out whether or not he is lying
now ?
He has lied so much and so often
that no one but the temporarily insane can place any reliance on his statement. In other words, his latest

Newspapers have been accustomed to poke fun at the Bostonese women.
They now deserve praise. They have banded themselves together now and will not bedeck themselves with articles made from animals and birds.
Their bill of rights is as follows:
"We eat no meat, wear no kid gloves, feathers, wines or breasts or skins of birds on our hats, and we are ready to give up leather for the soles of shoes. "Our members extend their love to the lower animals, so far as not to eat them or kill them for selfish purposes. All sentient creatures have a right to live and, except in cases of self-defence, to protection in that life by human beings. "We have found splendid substitutes for furs, feathers, hat trimmings and kid gloves, and we know we are better off without eating meat. We practice the convictions of our minds and hearts."
SURGEONS attending the National
Congress in New York opened a man's

LOVE YOUR BUSINESS.
When does a girl know that she has struck the business for which she
is best fitted?
This question was asked four suc
cessful business women. Here are
the four answers in a nutshell:
"When she is glad to get to work
in the morning."
"When she no longer begrudges an
extra hour in the office."
"When she enthusiastically and
unconsciously boosts the business."
When some one else s job no
longer creates envy."
In other words, the four successful
business women are unanimous in their opinion that a girl is misplaced
until she has learned to love the bust
ness in which she is engaged.

Kallikak (fhe name is fictitious), descended from a long line of good English ancestry, took advantage of a feeble-minded girl. The result of their indulgence was a feeble-minded son. This son married a normal
woman. They in turn produced five feeble-minded and two normal children. Practically all of the descend
ants of these defectives have been
traced as well as those of the two
normals.
From both normal and defective descendants of this union came a long line of defective stock. There were

illegitimate, thirty-three sexually im

KINDS LAW IX WEBSTER. Selling produce of his own raising
does not subject a citizen of another
state to the tax for transient merchants, according to a decision in the City Court at Connersville. Pavid Moore, of Ohio, brought in a load of ap
ples and sold them from the car. An
attempt to collect the transient nonresident tax was resisted. Precedent could not be found and the judge rendered his decision on the Websteri.m definition of the word "merchant," that such is "a person engaged in buying and selling goods for gain." As Moore did not buy the apples ho was given the decision. EXTKR MIMni'AL POLITICS. The Progressive party of South B?nd yesterday took preliminary action toward placing a ticket in the field for the city election of 1913.
