EDUCATORS MEET AT THE CAPITAL FOR CONFERENCE Presidents of the Various Colleges and Universities of the State in Session With the Governor. STATE INSTITUTIONS WERE INVESTIGATED Chief Executive Is of the Opinion Cost of Maintenance Is Too High A Comparison Is Made.

ONLY THE PICKED TROOPS-WILL ACT

: (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 14. This was the day of the conference of the presidents of the state and non-state institutions of higher education In Indiana with Governor Marshall, at the request of the governor, for the purpose

of considering several matters of im-j

portance in connection with the conduct of their affairs and the cost of their maintenance. And when Governor Marshall had the college presidents In his office today the governor made an address to them in which he supplied them with some interesting figures and also asked some pointed questions. Governor Marshall is of the opinion that the wide difference in the cost of maintenance of the state institutions and that of the non-state Institutions is a matter that will bear rigid inquiry. Not that he has any suspicions in regard to the expenditure of the money appropriated by the legislature for the support of the state schools, but he wants to find out if the expenditure of the large sums is absolutely Accessary. It Is shown that It is costing the state many times more per capita to educate the students in the state schools ".than it is costing the non-state schools per capita to educate their Btudents, and this is one o' the matters which the governor wishes information about. Address by Governor. In his address to the college presisdents this forenoon the governor pointed out that Indiana is spending all the money on the three state colleges that it can spend without an increase In the state tax levy, and he wants to know whether the people want a reduction in the expenses or whether they want the tax levy Increased. He gave the college presidents figures to sustain his position. The governor, in sending out his invitations to the college presidents to

attend the conference, asked them to also send him in advance, a statement of the number of students enrolled in

their institutions, the tuition and other fees charged the students, both resident and non-resident, and for other information. In his address he said these figures, so far as they had been received by him, showed the following: Purdue University, maintained by the state, had an enrollment last year of 1034, and the cost of maintenance per capita was $139.20. Resident students pay $35 a year for the use of the library and laboratory. Non-resident students pay $ a jear. Indiana University, maintained by the state, had an enrollment of 2,470 but the governor was not supplied with any figures as to the cost of malatenance. State Normal School. The Indiana State Normal school, at Terre Haute, maintained by the stats, had an average attendance of 1,200 and a total enrollment for the year of 3,3fK. The cost of maintenance was $107 per capita. Each student pays $7 for the use of the library, and nonresident students pay $12 a term. The following figures were given regarding the non-state schools: Earlham College, at Richmond, enrollment, 620; total average cost, S240, of which $163 was for keep. Franklin College, enrollment 200; tuition. $(?3.

Taylor University, Upland, enrollment, 206; tuition, $44. j Rochester Normal University, en-, rollment, 2ftO; tuition, $36. j

Hanover College, enrollment, 211; tuition, $24. Rose Polytechnic Institute, enroll

ment. 215; tuition, SllO. Valparaiso University, enrollment 4,000; tuition, $45.

Wabash College, enrollment, &x; tuition, $41. Tri-State College, enrollment, 256;

tuition. $50 for forty-six weeks.

Vlncennes University, enrollment, 263; tuition, $22. Goshen college, enrollment 200;

tuition $42.

Oakland City college, enrollment 100; tuition $36. Concordia college, enrollment 220;

tuition $40.

Butler college, enrollment 507; tui

tion $48.

Central Normal college, enrollment

376; tuition $36.

Cost is Much More. The ffovernor calls attention to the

fact that it is costing much more to

maintain the state schools than the

non-state schools. But he also calls

attention to another phase of the question, and that is this: Tuition in the state colleges is free while the non-state colleges collect tuition fees from all of their students. Yet, he says, there are thousands of students who are paying their money for education in the non-state institutions regardless of the fact that they could get their education at the state BChools for nothing. He wants to know why this condition exists, when It is human nature to not pay for a thing that you can get for nothing.

He also points out that there may be duplication of the course of study in the state institutions and he wants to know whether this is true and whether it is necessary. The governor points out that it is costing the state $1,034,533.30 for the state to educate the 5,640 students in her three schools. Board of Control.

Another matter which the governor has placed before the conference is whether it would be a good plan to advocate the creation of one general board of control for the three state institutions instead of a separate board of trustees for each of the three He has not committed himself one way or the other on this matter, he says, and he only seeks to find out whether it would be wise or not to have such a board. In his address the governor took a hard rap at the schools which have made a habit of lobbying the legislature to pass bills and make appropriations for them. He says It should be left with the voter to say whether the tax levy should be Increased, and that there should be no log rolling at the legislature to get appropriations. Representatives of colleges should not form combinations with other interests to obtain the passage of favorite bills by the legislature. The question of higher education is one that has been given much consideration by Governor Marshall, and he has hopes that the two days session of this conference will produce good results. He told the college presidents in his address that he did not give them his figures and sugggestions in the nature of argument to support any position or opinion which he might have, but solely for the purpose of having the matters discussed.

War Department Plan for the Next Joint Army Maneuvers in 1910. CAREFUL AS TO MILITIA

NATIONAL GUARD ORGANIZATIONS OF PROVED FITNESS WILL, BE SELECTED, HEREAFTER, SAYS GEN. OLIVER.

Washington, Oct- 14. All the principal officials of the war department dep

recate the publication that the militia!

Buffered such severe hardships in the recent joint maneuver in Massachusetts that the war department has decided to discontinue the practice of having militiamen take part in the annual maneuvers of troops of the regular army. The official view of the matter is expressed in a statement issued by Gen. Oliver, acting secretary of war, as follows: "Certain articles in regard to the combined army and National Guard maneuvers in Massachusetts having been brought to the attention of the department, it Is proper to state that the department has not the slightest intention of varying its plans for the general education of the National Guard in connection with the army in joint camps and manuevers alternate years and by the methods provided in general orders No. 11, 1908, War Department. Future participation of the National Guard in maneuvers similar to those recently held in Massachusetts should be hereafter limited to such organizations as have proved themselves in the camps of instruction

as fit to take part and to be competent to- take reasonable and proper care of themselves, and only those organizations that have been specially reported to the department as such should ba given this privilege. "There is no question that the recent maneuvers have been most invaluable, and simply because certain hardships may have been suffered through their own Ignorance by some of the men of the militia there Is certainly no reason for interfering with or changing in any way the well settled policy which has been determined upon by the department "The department knows of no reason for assuming that there was any excessive amount of sickness or injury to health in the recent maneuvers; on the contrary, from certain unofficial statistics which have been published it is inclined to believe that there has been less sickness as a result of these maneuvers than usual. However, no official report thereon has yet been received."

"The Merry Widow" Did you ever take a thought of how the colossal things of the world depend upon the infinitesimal There's that

word if, for example; just two letters:; IF. S Well, once upon a time a great mu-i sician composed a soulhaunting mel-1 ody, something so sweet and rare and anquorpus and beautiful that its j strains would lift men out of the mire i of the work-a-day world and transport them to fields of Elysium. It was an inspiration of genius, bearing the imprint of the divine for everything that elevates and ennobles is divine and men who heard a great orchestra interpreting this composition almost

instantly felt themselves the kin of far-off spheres, brothers of the stars, and one with the sunshine, the flowers and the sea. This great musician' was modest and with the same diffidence almost invariably manifested by those who perform the wonderful things in the world, he put his score before a manager with fear and trembling. Tha manager was poor and approached the work of the new composer with distrust If he had not produced it note the little word if. only two letters if he had not produced it we would never have had "The Merry Widow," the manager would not have become rich, Franz Lehar, instead of being renowned as the new waltz king of the world, would be struggling as a bandmaster In an Austrian garrison town, and we would all be bereft of some of the rarest pleasure life offers. If again! If all this had not happened The Merry Widow would not have had this entire country talking about HenW. Savage's production. "The Merry Widow" will appear at the Gennett theater, Friday, October 22.

The advantage that Gov. Bowen has,

and a very decided one It Is. too, is that he is as original as he is funny, and that the laugh provoking material he uses is as wholesome and healthful

as it is unctious. There Is an irre

sistible something about this comedian

that leaves a pleasant taste in the

mouth after the convulsive smiles they

produce.

Orpheum Stock Company.

CURES REMOVE DOUBT ABOUT ECZEMA CURE

Read What Your Druggist Says About Oil of Wintergreen Compound.

The druggists of Richmond submits the following to the readers of the Palladium: For several years we have announced, with our recommendation, that we had found a positive cure for eczema; a simple skin wash, oil of wintergreen compounded with other healing ingredients. Yet we know there are people right in this town who lave eczema, and still have never tried this remedy. We have, therefore, arranged with

the D. D. D. . Laboratories of Chicago!

for a special offer of a trial bottle at 25 cents instead of the $1.00 bottle as regularly sold. We offer this trial bottle with our recommendation and assurance that just as soon as the patient washes his itching skin, this mild liquid will take the itch away instantly.

"The Golden Butterfly" Grace Vara Studdiford. who is booked to appear here in her latest and most remarkable success "The Golden Butterfly," has been smothered with praises by all the dramatic and musical critics in all the large cities. "The Golden Butterfly" is said to be a relief from the continual striving after novelties which has been the bane of the comic opera stage recently, and which hias resulted in much of the vulgarity with which the comic operas have been charged in recent years. For several seasons the amusement seekers have grown tired of the hodge podge musical comedy and nave been clamoring for a more educating line in the light opera field. Much credit is due to Reginald de Koven in giving us a work that will raise the standard in musical entertainments. Miss Van Studdiford Is eupported by a corps of seventy-five people, and a large orchestra. It requires three sixty-foot baggage cars to transport the massive settings, which is claimed to reveal a stage picture of rare magnificence. The company will give one performance at the Gennett on Wednesday evening, Oct. 20.

The Murray Theater. A very good bill of vaudeville is being presented at the Murray Theater this week which includes as the headliner the musical comedy act of Eddie Adair and his Yankee Octette. LcClair & Sampson are, perhaps, the best team of gymnasts ever seen in Richmond. An excellent playlet "Our Wife" acted by Frank Rutledge & Company and Ferguson & Passmore in a dancing act are also included in the bill. The illustrated song is proving to be a real hit.

Samples of air at a hight of nearly nine miles have been recently obtained and examined for the presence of the rare gases. The collecting apparatus, carried by a large balloon, is a series of vacuum tubes, each drawn out to a fine point at one end. At the desired hight an electromagnetic device, connected with each tube and operated by a barometer, breaks off the point of the tube, admitting the air. A few minutes later, a second contract sends a current through a" platinum wire around tha broken end, melting the glass and sealing the tube. All the samples obtained show argon and neon, but no helium was found in air from above six miles.

time to New York, but she disappointed her friends.

George H. Primrose Minstrels. The name of Gov. Gowen is by no means an unfamiliar one to amusement patrons, for every once in awhile it crops out from among the countless array of comedy talent and bobs up serenely in a most unexpected manner. Gov. Bowen, however, has fqr a considerable space, been recognized at the accepted leader in the fun monologue

line, and his reputation was not long in attracting the attention of Manager Primrose, who was indeed fortunate in adding this extremely comical Bowei to the Primrose Minstrel aggregation which is scheduled to appear at the Gennett next Tuesday, Oct 19.

At New Phillips. There is hardly another in the profession who occupies such a unique position as G. M. Duncan, who is to appear here with The Duncan Hypnot

ic Comedy Company. Certainly there is not a man whose ability and success are more widely discussed by the press and public, and whose rise to prominence has been more merited. His established ability and wonderful success in every large city is on every manager's tongue, and the magazines and papers of today are not up-to-date without his latest photograph. In his latest success he presents a de-
