GOSHEN COLLEGE NOW A STANDARD INSTITUTION FORMAL RECOGNITION GIVEN BY STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION. Financial Requirements for Standard Institutions Have Been Met— Continue Campaign. At a meeting of the state board of education held at Indianapolis On Friday, Goshen college was formally recognized as having met the requirements of a standard college. Goshen college made application for such recognition only a few month* ago and the state board very promptly sent its representative to Goshen for a detailed report on its educational and financial qualifications and standards. Prof. J. J. Fisher, registrar and head ot the- department of education, was delegated by the college to gather together al! the data asked for by the state and his splendid work in giving a comprehensive survey of the institution was greatly appreciated by the representative -of the state board. At its meeting Friday the board unanimously accepted the favorable report made by its representatives and placed Goshen college on the list ot standard colleges of the state of Indiana, With this new addition there are now fifteen standard colleges and universities in Indiana. Most of these however, are located in the central and southern part of the state so that Goshbn col'ege has a large territory in the northern part of the state from which to 'draw students and for this reason is destined to hold an important place in the educational system of the state. Among the Mennonite colleges there are four that grant the A. B. degree, one in Ohio, one in Indiana, and two in Kansas. Goshen college is the first of tnese to be recognized as a standard institution. The minimum requirements for a standard college in the state of Indiana are as follows: A faculty of at least five who are giving their entire time to teaching in the college department; a library of at least 5,000 volumes exclusive of pubflc documents, and an endowment of not less than $200,000 or in lieu of this amount of endowment, an annual income, exclusive of Ulition, of SIO,OOO. The- college has for a number of years met the requirements as far as faculty and library requirements 1 are concerned. But it has only very recently received the financial support necessary io give the institution the rank of a standard college. Its high educational standards, however, have long ago been recognized by the state board and by many of the best colleges and universities of the country. The state board on several occasions granted the requests of graduates of the "college by according them the same privileges as are enjoyed by graduates of standard institutions. It was only a matter of satisfying the rtate requirements on finances, therefore, to get the recognition which has just been granted. This requirement, however, is ,one of the most difficult for small colleges to meet and for this reason Goshen college is to be congratuialed on having .successfully met this difficult requirement. •. SON AND DAUGHTER DIED. Mr. and Mrs. Harvey A. Miller of near Oak Grove have the sympathy of many friends in the deaths of their only daughter and son. Their three-year-old daughter died Friday, February 6 and was buried the following Sunday afternoon.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK DAMAGED BY FIRE Stubborn Blaze Breaks Out in Furnace Room Monday Afternoon. GOOD WORK BY FIREMEN Bank Opened for Business, as Usual, Tuesday Morning—lnterior to Be Remodeled. The interior of the First National bank building was badly damaged by a blaze that broke out in the furnace room in the basement at 3:10 Monday afternoon, The fire had gained considerable headway before it was discovered and the dense smoke that immediately filled the room made It hard for the firemen to combat the flames. The fire soon broke through the first floor, burning the partitions :ind spreading to the second floor above. The thermometer was hovering around the zero mark and this worked to the disadvantage of the firemen as several of them were soon drenched by the great amount of water that was poured into the building on the first and second floors. It was one of the most stubborn fires that the department has had to combat In several years and It was 4:30 before the out signal was given by the water works whistle. The building itself, a solid brick structure, was not damaged to any extent. The. loss is placed at about 4 ,000, which is fully covered by insurance. Cashier Chester Walters and his assistants barely had time to place the books, valuable papers and money in the safe and vault. All these were saved intact, but the bookkeeping, adding machines and typewriters were considerably damaged by water, as was the other equipment and nishingsOpen Tuesday Morning A* Usual. Several men worked all Monday night cleaning up the interior, wiping off the woodwork and scrubbing, anrd the bank was open Tuesday morning at 8 o’clock for business as usual, with but the loss of 1% hours of banking time. Will Remodel Interior. The officials of the bank had made arrangements to -remodel the interior of the bank this summer and now these improvements will be made as soon as possible.

Ruth applies a match to some greasy waste on an auto drip pan and places it at the door of her rival’s boudoir soon after the widow has retired and then gives the alarm.
