IS READY TO TAKE UP CANVASS AGAIN Secretary Brown Back in Field After Short Respite for Xmas Holidays. PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT BUSINESS MEN NOW RELIEVED OF HOLIDAY RUSH WILL BE APPEALED TO AND ARE EXPECTED TO RESPOND LIBERALLY. Secretary Brown, the "boomer" of the Y. M. C. A. project Is back in the field again after a short respite for Christmas and he .wears the old smile of confidence which has characteriz ed him since the local battle begun. Secretary Brown is laying plans to start the ball rolling again after January 1, with an impetus which will carry it over every obstacle until success is finally reached. Up to the present time the Y. M. C. A. promoters are highly elated over the success that has been achieved and they anticipate that subscriptions to the building fund will be reported much fore rapidly after the holidays than before. Many business men who have shown a disposition to put their shoulders to the wheel and, assist in the field work have been unable to give time to the enterprise until business cares became less pressing. The opportunity will soon be here and much is expected from this phase of the. movement. Former Richmond citizens, who, though living elsewhere still cherish a warm regard for the city of their nativity, will be invited to subscribe to the fund and it is said that there will be numerous contributions from such sources. Secretary Ijrown yesterday left at the Palladium office a copy of the El Paso, (Tex.) Herald, of recent date, which gives an interesting account of the progress there to raise $100,000 for a Y M. C. A. building. Success is crowning the efforts of the Texan, and the carrier boys of the Herald have up to date raised $330. Entertained.

Annual Gathering of the Pedagogues at Indianapolis of Unusual Interest.

HOPEFUL OF MORE WAGES PRESIDENT MOORE SAYS THAT SENTIMENT IS WITH THE DEMANDS OF THE TEACHERS MISS TEST ON PROGRAM. Indianapolis, Dec. 27. (Spl.) The annual session of the Indiana Teachers' Association began here today under favorable conditions, with the ex ception of the weather, which was anything but suggestive of the glad holiday season. The teachers were brim full of enthusiasm, however, the salary question being uppermost in their minds. B. F. Moore, of Marion, president of the association, and also chairman of the commission appointed by Governor Hanly to investigate salary and other legislation at the coming session of the General Assembly, declared that he and the other officers of the association are full of encouragement. All Favor Higher Salaries. "We hear nothing but the most favorable sentiment," he said, "and look for the same, sort of action. I have talked with a great number of legislators, and all have expressed themselves in favor of having salaries of teachers increased. "It is beginning to bo understood that the teachers have been late In receiving recognition on this question. While it is true that there has been a slight increase in compensation within the last ten years it does not compare with the increase in the cost of living." Mr. Moore retires as president at this session, the custom of the association forbidding the re-election of its officers. Little discussion is heard of possible candidates for his position. Tonight thirteen district meetings were, held to elect members of the nominating committee, which commit tee will report on nominees for all offices Saturday, when the election will close the work of the gathering. A legislative committee will be elected. also, to report on call during the Gen eral Assembly or any other occasion. Educational Commission's Report. The report of the educational com mission was distributed among the members of the association, and wa3 received eagerly. Favorable comment on many of its recommendations were heard. Teachers in many cases were surprised to learn that the failure of the courts to assess and collect fines was in part responsible for their present unsatisfactory salaries, and there was much discussion of this. Aside from the question of salaries, the report's suggestions as to a transfer law, the handling of State school books by the trade instead of by county superintendents, the recommendation of a uniform course of study for high schools, of county aid to teachers' institutes and for professional training for teachers, were read with interest. This afternoon' there were numerous sectional meetings held. Miss Alice Test was assigned for a paper on the program for the Classical Section. Her subject was "An Experiment in Teahing. Latin in the Seventh and Eighth Grades." SELECT P0ST0FFICE SIGHT Conwell Property To Be Used for the New Federal Building at Connersville. Connersville, Ind., Dec. 27. P. L. Heeb, commissioner appointed by the court to sell the real estate held by the late Abram Conwell, has received a telegram from the Postoffice Department , saying that his bid for the Connersville Federal building site had been accepted. The site is a corner lot at the Intersection of Central avenue and Eighth street, two of the other corners being occupied by the Methodist and Christian churches. Congress appropriated $10,000 for the purchase of a site, but all of this will not be needed. The site is part of a full square left by the late Abram Conwell to his heirs. It is unoccupied and lies in the center of the city. The taxes were rapidly consuming the property, and for this reason it was ordered to be sold. Offer for Old Plant. It Is reported that the county commissioners will soon receive an offer for the discarded , electric light plant stowed away in the cellar of the court house. The outfit Is worth $5,000 at its face value, but the county will be lucky, it is asserted if it receives $2,000.
