Resolutions. Whereas our State institutions at Bloomington, Terre Haute and Lafayette have been crippled by want of proper financial support, and com polled from time to time to surrender many of their best men, because of bettor salaries offered by institutions more generously provided for in other States, be it Resolved, That we as teachers of Jasper county deplore the illiberal spirit that our legislatures have shown towards our State University, State Normal, and Purdue University, in the matter of appropriation for equipment and maintenance, and that we most urgently petition the coming session of the legislature, through our representatives Messrs Phares aud Spitler, to grant these institutions such aid as they both need and deserve.

Resolved, that a copy of thia petition to be signed by the members of this association, be handed to our representatives, and with the request that they use their best efforts to secure its favorable recognition. Resolved, that it is the sense of the teachers of this county that the usefulness of the State University, great as it has been, will be very greatly increased by its removal from its present inconvenient, and a<most inaccessible location at Bloomington, to Indianapolis. Resolved, that additional safeguards be thrown around the selection of County Superintendents, and superintendents of all towns having commissioned High Schools, by the enactment of a law requiring all such superintendents to hold a Life State License, or a diploma from the state Normal School, or from the Pedagogical Department of the State University. Resolved, That the Indiana School book law should be so amended ss to place the sale and distribution of all text-books for the public schools of the State, wholly in the hands of the local dealers without the intervention or supervision of any of the public School officials. Whereas, the teachers of Jasper county by right and Justice are entitled to the full benefit of all legal holidays occurring during the school term, said right being recognized by every State Superintendent for more than twenty years, and by our courts of justice, and our own county Superintendent, be it Resolved, that we sincerely deplore

the refusal of some of our township trustees to grant us our rights in this dtrectio-n , awl most respeutfully but e&rrA-stiy it sM upon the same. The B->t»rd» of trustees of the towns of Rensselaer and Remington have long rec-’c Biz-d those rights of their teachers, and »h~ie exists no good reason why the county teachers should be deprived of theirs Resolved, that the JbSp» r County Teachers’ Association subscribe. and pay for one membership in the Indi ana State Teachers’ Association, and

one in the Northern Indiana Teacher’s Association; and that the Jasper County Association annually, at its regular session, elect one delegate to attend each of aforesaid associations. Said delegate to be invested with full power to represent this association in all matters pertaining to the educational work of the State. Said delegate to defray his own expenses. E. W. Bohannon, D. B. Nowels, Millie Robinson, Committee. Maggie R. Lang, Abbie R. Harrison,

ON MOVING THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The question of moving the State University from its present location at Bloomington, to Indianapolis, is receiving quite a little attefitiofi in different parts of the state. The teachers of the county, through the resolutions adopted at their meeting last week, expressed them elves in favor of the proposed change. The question is one which will appear before the leg slature at its coming session, and it may not, therefore, be amiss, to note here some of the reasons for moving the school to Indianapolis. Ist. The inconvenience of the present location is much against the institution A glance at the railroad map of Indiana will show that ladianapolis is by far the more preferable in this respect. 2nd. A closer relationship would be establblnd and maintained between tin' Alumni and their Alma Mater. The greater number of the graduates are in Indianapolis at different times dnring the year. 3rd. The State Legislature could at any time, without a trip from the Capital, investigate the work and ascertain the needs of the school. 4th* The presence m the city of a large number of influential alumni, and the common interests of the city and the s -bool, would go far toward securing the so much needed finanacial aid’.

5 th. Access could be had to the various li >raries of the city. These are excellent and would be of very great assistance. 6th. Great advantages would result from the various educational conventions, and other meetings so frequently held there. , 7th. A good law school could be maintain ed. The best legal talent of the state would be available. Also the best law libraries. While the practical workings of all the courts could b 1 observed daily. Bth. A medical school could be and maintained. It is impossible at Bloomington. 9th. A greatly increased attendance would result, and any arrange'" ment that induces more of our young men and women to seek a higher education is worthy of encouragement. Some have urged that the moral influences of a large city are greatly against such a change. This has not been found to be the case with the State Normal, at Terre Haute, nor with Purdue University at Lafaytette, and would not hold at Indianapolis, which is one of the best regulated cities in the United States. The expenses of living would be increased very little, if at all. The dormitory plan could be used and a cheap, yet satisfactory, method of boarding assured. The buildings now in use could be turned over to the State for the use of the Blind Asylum, the School for Deaf and Dumb, cr some other of these institutions which are in need of increased room. The probabilities are that the city of Indianapolis would pay to Bloomington and Monroe county the money contributed to the school by them, and donate the land needed for new buildings, besides considerable money for the buildings themselves. Thus it would seem that there should be little hesitancy on the part of the Legislature in making the change. A great thing »will have been done for the cause of higher education in Indiana, if the change is made. See those single and double door portiers and stand covers at C. A i Lecklider A Co.

Everybody is invited. —— Maggie R* Lang, teacher. Nicola Tesla, the inventor and scientist, whvse researches in the field of high-tension electricity have developed startling possibilities within the past three or four years, is now reported to have evolved a new machine to be called an “oscillator,” which is expected to reduce by onehalf the cost of electric force. It is described as using the highest steam pressures and converting their energy directly into electricity. In the steam engine, which is of simple and cheap construction, che putoh action directly excites the magnets, which in turn control the very rapid vibration of the piston, and electric current is produced in quantity varying with the power of the machine, without any of the losses by friction and radiation incidental to the existing methods of combining the steam engine and the electric dynamo. The current thus obtained is available for conversion into heat, light or motion like that obtained from the ordinary dynamo, which appears to be entirely dispensed with in the new generating aparatus. If the claims put forth on behalf of Mr. Tesla’s new invention be maintained, we are on the verge of a new electrical revolution. As Goodlaud is not hampered with a ten year franchise, but owns its own plant, our people will be in a position to get the benefit of the lowering of the cost of electrical production.—Good land Herald.
