stract intellectual effort on. boys and

girls whose Interest was in doing things. The Elementary Industrial School was meant to meet this situation. To it boys and girls were ad

mitted if they were more than thirteen years of age and were two or more years behind their grade in

school.

In this school one-halt of the time devoted to English, mathematics,

geography the two in close connection and to hygiene of a thoroughly

practical character. The remaining periods are given to manual and industrial work including shop work

to domestic economy and gym

nasium practice. A poll of the pupils showed that with the glrl3 cooking and sewing were favorite subjects;

with the boys, mechanical drawing

and wood-working. In other schools

of the same type which it is proposed!

to have in Cleveland, It is probable that the course will be extended to include a year or more of definitely

vocational or trade , school work, n preparation for specific employment.

The school has been successful,

even in the face of adverse condi

tions. The enrollment has doubled in the past four yeara. Pupils who had

long since lost interst in school work

of any kind, soma to the extent of

being known as "dullards and incrrigibles," have become eager and

alert, not only in the. hand subjects, but in the academic work as well.

NOW, ALL. TOGETHER.

It is with no small degree of satis

faction that this paper comes to the

conclusion that the women of Ham

mond are at last waking up to

realization of certain conditions - in Hammond which are in some respects

outrageous.

In a splendid article the civic de

partment of the Hammond Woman

club yesterday showed conclusively

that it is on the right path in con

ducting a rigid investigation Into civic conditions that have been

weighed in the balance and foun4

sadly wanted. What is true in Ham

mond may be found In any ether city

of the region.

z This paper rejoices that the women

have become active in regard to:

dirty alleys, vile smelling street cars, noisesome theatres, picture houses.

public buildings, reprehensible sanitation and a host of kindred evil. For seven years THE TIMES has preached and sermonized on these things. Its warfare has been unrelenting and Incessant on evils of the nature criticized by the women of Hammond. It confesses that much of its pleading and warning has fallen on deaf ears. A hundred times has it been ridiculed as a purveyor of sensation, as a trouble-maker and a pest because It has called attention to these monstrous civic conditions. THE TIMES is glad to find the women enlisted in the battle for better things. An Individual or an in

stitution fighting singlehanded fights

against tremendous odds. Such a

cattle is discouraging. The results obtained make a newspaper feel like

throwing up its hands and saying

Oh, whats the use?" However if

the women of Hammond join in the

battle against these menaces to public health and comfort, much can be done. The Hammond Woman's Club has made a grand start and we hope

it doesn't get weary and lay down on the job. The results will come if the

fight is kept up.

JOHNSON'S FUTURE. Contrary to the misleading in

formation in a Gary newspaper Mayprrelect R. O. Johnson is not to

be the candidate for the republican

congressional nomination. Mr. John

son 13 much wiser than some ol the

selfish and short-sighted editors and

like those who know the situation

sees a great future ahead him as

mayor, ol Gary. . There. . are many

things to be done in Gary and no one knows it more than Mr. Johnson. He

realizes that the successful perform

ance of this task will open the way

to higher honors and from all indica

tlon Mr. Johnson Is going to do this

to the very best of his ability.

Congressional booms for Mr. John

son are not desired by him and they

are only "made" for two reasons one is

to create friction, the other is to make the way to the pie-counter a little easier.

NAUGHTY ROAD! The "drys" in a Missouri county have obtained an indictment against the Wabash railroad for selling liquor on its dining car3 traveling through prohbition territory. This Js awful. Some one please send W. C. T. U. pamphlets to the Wabash or compel it to sign the pledge for at least one year

RATHER NUMEROUS.

The tooth of a mastodon was dug up In Lowell the other day and whenever a mastodon or a part of one is dug up

in this country the newspapers make

much of ths incident in glaring head

lines, when you cannot walk along the street any day without jostling against fossils and boneheads of every

description.

A POSSIBLE DANGER.

As far as diligent inquiry will

show there is not a bit of smallpox

at present in the Calumet region.

There is however smallpox all

around us in Chicago Joliet and In

diana points to the east and southeast.

An ounce of prevention Is worth a

pound of cure.

May the various health boards and

public bodies be especially active in guarding against this loathsome horror!

One never can tell. Be on guard.

Still, if a republican president had

shattered the precedent of a hundred

ears by refusing to receive the peo

ple at the white house on New

Year's day we should have heard a

dismal wail from every democratic paper in the land. We should have!

been informed with bitter emphasis that his heart wus turned against the

plain people and that instead of meeting his fellow countrymen as Lincoln, Jefferson, Jackson, and other great

presidents did in their day he preferred to stand aloof from the commoners and to fraternize with the

aristocracy. Personally, the News

no criticism whatsoever to offer as to

Mr. Wilson's action In declining to hold a New Year's reception. If he

doesn't want to hold one he doesn't have to. ' He violates no law and the matter of a New Year's reception is more his affair than that of anyone

else. But conceding all this, it is lm

the democratic press would place up
