PRACTICAL BRANCHES ARE POPULAR HERE High School Attendance Has Doubled Because of Industrial Training.
' Miss Kiturah Parsons gave an interesting and comprehensive address before the Women's Progressive 1 League last evening on the subject of ' "Continuation and Industrial Schools." Miss Parsons, who is a member of .the local high school faculty and who f'has been in New York the past few S years where she studied conditions in 'this country and certain continental nations in these phases of educational activity, pointing out the superiority of the German system of industrial and continuation schools. "While the methods applied to diffuse industrial education vary greatly ,in the different countries in Europe," said Miss Parsons, "the aim is universally the same, namely, increase of industrial, intellectual, civic and moral efficiency of the industial worker. "In Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Austria and Belgium, industrial training has been well worked out and far in advance of our own. "Germany has, at present, the most comprehensive system of any industrial country and today Germany is one of the strongest competitors for international trade in the world's markets, surpassing the United States, in spite of our incomparable natural resources. "Believing that labor, to be efficient, must be intelligent and with their usual faith in the good effect of strict discipline that characterizes all German institutions, the German government conceived the idea of compelling all those below eighteen years, who had not finished their school education, to attend school for a few hours each week. This was accomplished through what is called Continuation Schools." Stating that there are many places In this country where continuation and industrial schools are being conducted, Miss Parsons said: "In many of the smaller cities and towns night schools, and, in a few places, summer schools, are conducted under the regular public school system. In our own state Gary, Hammond, Bluffton and Indianapolis might be cited." "In our local high school," said Miss Parsons, "we have about 600 pupils and approximately 300 are doing some form of Industrial work, sixty of these being in the straight industrial course, junior and senior years. Practically one-half of this year's graduating class, will be commercial students. "Mr. Nusbaum compiled some statistics last year, and, among other things, found this to be true that within the last fifteen years, the enrollment in this city -has remained practically the same, but the high school attendance has doubled. And one reason he gave for this was the enrichment of the course of study." The paper was generally discussed. Mrs. Foulke, later, deplored the habit of malicious gossip, pointing out its sometimes terrible effects as in the attempted assassination of Roosevelt. Further collections for the national, state and county Progressive campaign funds were reported at this time. J. W. Copeland, of Dayton, Ohio, purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for his boy who had a cold, and before the bottle was all used the boy's cold was gone. Is that not better than to pay a five dollar doctor's bill? For sale by all dealers. Advertisement.

Goodwin in Alienation Case
MISS MARJOPIE MORELAND. BALTIMORE, Md., Oct. 23. One more chapter was added to the story concerning Miss Marjorie Moreland, the Baltimore actress, and Nat Goodwin, the much married actor, who has at various times been reported to be considering a fifth alliance with Miss Moreland as the better half. According to a dispatch received from San Diego, Cal., Goodwin has been made the defendant in a $20,000 suit filed against him there on the charge of alienation of affections of Miss Moreland from her husband, Charles Doughty, a real estate operator. Miss Moreland, who was Miss Parret, and Doughty were married eight years ago. To the stage world her marriage was unknown and in denying the reports that she intended marrying Goodwin she never referred to this insurmountable condition. She merely said "Nonsense," or something like that.
IS FINED Mayor Fines Him $200 and Commits Him to Jail. Milo Burden, colored, was fined $200 and costs and given ten days in the county jail by Mayor Zimmerman in police court this morning for drawing a revolver on Walter Bragg, also colored. The incident happened at Fountain City Tuesday afternoon while the funeral of Jonathan Mitchell was going 'on and which both men were attending. Burden and Bragg have been enemies for two years and were in court for similar offenses last year. The testimony showed that Burden had pulled a gun on Bragg, but was overpowered before he had a chance to use it. He was then brought to this city in a horse and buggy by Bragg and his father and turned over to the police. The defendant claims that his life had been threatened and that he had been attacked by dogs when returning to his home and that was his reason for carrying the revolver. He said he had no intention of shooting Bragg nor any other man. CAMBRIDGE CITY, IND. CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., Oct. 24. Miss Alma Garvin spent Tuesday in Indianapolis.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY HOTJBSERVED Schools Held Exercises Last April When Noted Men Delivered Addresses.
Arbor and bird day will not be observed in this city tomorrow. The reason is, according to Prof. John F. Thompson, head of the biological department of the high school, that the state has set apart two days for the observance of Arbor day and that the first day, April 24, is more suitable-for this community. On April 24 last, Charles W. Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, and" Prof. Coulter, oi Purdue university, were here. They spoke in all the city schools, where exercises were held. Charles A. Greathouse, state superintendent of public instruction, has sent out the following message to school children in the state: To the Children of Indiana: Have you ever thought how desolate this world would be if there were no trees, no plants, no shrubs, no flowers, no birds? Nature has been kind to us in her wise and generous provision of these gifts, but now she needs our constant co-operation to preserve them. For we, in our eagerness to build great towns and cities with wonderfud factories and immense storehouses, have so narrowed the habitat of these valuable things that Nature is no longer able to provide them freely and must look to men and women and children all over the civilized world for aid. October twenty-fifth has been set aside for the rendering of such service in the State of Indiana, and I am asking you, the children of this commonwealth, to assist in all the ways you can. Will you not plant a seed, a shrub, a flower, a tree? Will you not help to clean the alleys and streets, the grounds about your home and your school? Will you not encourage your companions to join you in this work? Will you not promise yourself, (1) that you will never in the future heedlessly mar or destroy useful plants and trees; (2) that you will work to pre serve every living thing; (3) that not only October 25th and special days shall be dedicated by you to the service of Nature, but every day in the year? By the avowed and careful observance of such principles you will not only add to the beauty of our own fair State of Indiana, but you will contribute to the prosperity of this great Republic. Faithfully yours, Charles A. Greathouse. FINED FOR THEFT OF SCRAP IRON Ernest Kelly was found guilty of stealing scrap iron from the plant of the M.
