AT LAST.
In provding for moral instruction by ministers the superintendent of the Gary, public schools has frankly
stepped forward and made it known
that the lack of moral training is one of the great defects in our public
school system. We do not permit re
ligious instruction in the schools, which, of course, couldn't be possible
and as a result there has been no
great attempt at moral training.
One cf the reasons that Catholic
and Lutherans maintain their parochial schools is because they claim that their children can't get
moral training In the public schools
They believe that this can only be supplied where religious instruction
accompanies education and they certainly have good grounds for their
declarations.
But the superintendent of the Gary schools has gone a step further. He
has worked out an admirable plan
Parents who want their children to
receive religious instruction will have
means provided for this. Once
week, pupils who desire it, will be
excused from classes and go to their
respectjve churches where the priests,
rabbis, and ministers will impart to
them the doctrines of their faiths.
The Gary experiment is a new one
and will be watched with Interest
That there is a need for moral train
Ing for the young is generally recog nized. And the broad plans provid
ing for religious instruction cannot but meet with the , approval and should command the co-operaton of all clergymen, regardless of denomination.

TWO hundred and fifty deers were killed In one day by Massachusetts hunters and a dispatch adds that "many gunners found the deer tame and easy to approach and it was not difficult to get good shots." Man who would shoot a tame deer is of the same calibre as the fellow who kicks a harmless dog.

The Sisters of St. Francis, who
have conducted the Mercy hospital at
Gary since the city was founded are
to withdraw from the city to permit
a stronger order to operate the newly-
erected hospital building.
These good sisters have operated a
hospital in Gary under most adverse
conditions. Three of the heads of the local order laid down their lives
battling for the sick.
Their devotion and self-sacrificing spirit has been of great magnitude
and Gary can never repay the earnest
women who are giving their lives to
others.

CREDIT TO THE BANKER. It may be a thankless task to say, from a clear sky, a word of praise for the banker. Yet it is our belief that the bankers of the United States here and now deserve the thanks of the country ' which they serve. There is no question in our mind that the solid, even progress of American business made to date through the shoals of possible financial depression is due first and foremost to the banks.
The banks had the vision to hold the future before their mind's eye and the will to determine that that future should not hold anything of evil for business. They developed a year ago a new spirit of co-operation, almost a settled general plan that every man must work to clear the ship for action and get her ready to weather any storm that the winds might blow up. They laid down the rule that legitimate business should not suffer as long as Its wants could be met. But they gave to business men the quiet, wise warning that a banker

MORE CONVERTS TO EUGENIC The twenty-second annual session of the Indiana conference of charities and corrections, held in Gary, heard from Amos W. Butler, secretary of
the Indiana state board of charities, that insanity In that state is increas

offspring and that legislation would
be asked to accomplish this purpose. In short, in order to prevent the spread of insanity and other Ills of civilization, it Is necessary to carry civilization to its logical end and
supervise marriage to the extent that the mentally defective, the criminally inclined and the diseased may not continue to people the world with
