PBUFI W| Al an TALK T 0 PARENT-TEACHERS IN WHITLEY COUNTY GIVES SOME HISTORY While Superintendent of Noble County Used First Automobile Owned . Here ‘ Prof. Willis A. Fox native of Noble county and a former superintendent of schools in addressing a ParentTeachers meeting at Columbia City the other evening dealt in some early history. As quoted by the Columbia City Post he spoke as follows: : Supt. C. E. Beck in introducing the speaker of the evening. Prof. Willis A. Fox, of North Manchester College stated that the subject “Unity in the Community”* was one suitable to both parent and -child, and that Prof. Fox had had much experience. in training both students and teachers. : Prof. Fox was formerly County Superintendent of Noble County st the time that Prof. George Tapy was in Whitley County and stated that he felt acquainted with his audience. In his talk the speaker touched on many vital points in connection with the community and the schools. The biggest job of today is to see that the present generation grows up to be a greater generation than the ane preceding. Those without -children are as responsible as those who are parents. The community cannot afford to fall to furnish buildings equipment and suitahle environment and should employ as capable and well trained teachers as possible. Prof. Fox feels that high ideals are most{ important and that everyvone who has an influence and direct responsibility in that direction. Good habits high ideals and wholesome interests should be put above everything else. Illustrating his thought the speaker spoke of George M. Ray who had three degrees but was never taught to work | and lacked proper ideals finally seli-| ing “Blue Sky.” ‘ The home today sometimes fails to| be what it should and is only a place ] to stay until one figures out where}. to go next. The -automobiles and airplanes represent the speed of the age. Proff. Fox stated he had the first automobile in Noble county and it was called “The County Superintendent’s Devil Wagon"” attaining the tremendous speed - of eighteen or| twenty miles an hour. - Prof. Fox ‘illustrated his.point as to fine teachers by referring to Abelard the French teacher who lived in the woods with his books. People sought him and built huts near him to learn of him. He said he would rather have a boy or girl in the hands of a Charles McMurray or a Socrates without a building or a book than in the hands of a mediocre teacher with all modern equipment and that School Boards should make an effort to Lkeep super-teachers in their schools. When all the community works with the teachers themn can be accomplished the highest good. He likened the community and school to a pipe organ each member as a pipe. thereof the whole of which must work in harmony to produce the best: effect. : : Is Robbed of Jewels. Miami Beach Florida police and Pinkerton detective operatives investieating the theft of $20,000 in jewels from Mrs. Walter Tayler Shepard of Fort Wayne who is visiting there say they know the thief. They believe he has left the city. The jewels were taken from a private compartment in the trunk of Mrs. Shepard in her apartment in the exclusive Covington Arms at Miami Beach 10 days ago while she was swimming. Goshen Man Enlists Marion Mullen of Goshen enlisted in the navy through the South Ber? recruiting station. He has been sent to Indianapolis for final examination. John Epert and Howard Baker of Ligonier also enlisted. All will be assigned to the Great Lakes Naval Training station.—Goshen News Times It is understood that John Epert was rejected on account of his excessive weight. = g ' Home From Florida. - - William B. Inks is home from a pleasant sojourn in Florida. He re--ports the state recovering from its temporary set pack. - Most of his time was spent in Vero Beach where he has real estate holdings and he says that town has held its own during the glump. g : Mr. eiix}g’s Ere'ports, that E.
