PAGE TWO. GETTING READY FOR ' THE PARCEL POST Richmond' Office Receiving Instructions from Postal Headquarters. WHY 00 PUPILS QUIT HIGH SCHOOL? County Authorities Are Now Gathering Statistics on This Problem.

Postmaster E.. M- Haas is receiving instructions regarding the inauguration of the parcel post system on next January 1. The post office department at Washington, realizing the magnitude of the work ahead ' in working out the systemsand instructing postmasters and clerks, started a campaign of education immediately after the act was passed by congress. It is now advising postmasters of the plans made thus far for establishing the service, which marks one of the most important developments of the postal service since the government was established. Postmaster Haas has received the following communication from Postmaster-General Hitchcock: "That distinctive parcel post stamps must be used on all fourth class matter beginning January 1, 1913, and that such matter bearing ordinary postage stamps will be treated as held for postage. "That parcels will be mailable only at post offices, branch post offices, lettered and local named stations and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmaster. "That all parcels must bear the return card of the sender; otherwise they will not be accepted for mailing."

"Why do pupils quit high school before they graduate," is the subject of what is expected to be an interesting paper, which will be read by Charles H. Bond, trustee of Clay township, before the regular monthly meeting of the township trustees at the court house Thursday. County Supt. Williams and his assistant. Miss Vira Benton are making a study of this subject. They are taking each pupil of the township schools in the county and ascertaining why he or she quit school, the occupation taken up, and what progress they are making. They are also studying the record of each student who graduated from high school and ascertaining what occupation he or she entered. The county superintendent says that practically fifty per cent of common school graduates do not complete the high school course. The superintendent is making an attempt to ascertain whether it is the

fault of the pupils, the teachers or

the course of study.f This matter will be taken up in detail at the January and February township teachers institute.

Reports to the Indiana State Board of High School Control which met at Indianapolis last Saturday, show that high school athletics over the state are in a flourishing condition. Principal Neff, president of the board, stated today that almost all the schools are getting out basketball teams for the coming season and that a large number have football and baseball teams. It was decided at the meeting that the state field and track meet, in which 255 high schools are eligible to compete, will be held in Richmond next spring. The board will hold another meeting at Lafayette, November 23, for the purpose of getting out the year book.

MsceoiHiimQ oh Diamonds During November Our first pre-holiday sale was such a success, both to us and to our customers, that we have decided to make it an annual event. The advantages of buying Holiday Jewelry are many; the convenience to the public is not the least of the considerations. Shopping and buying during November is always pleasant because of large, new, clean, fresh stocks: because of the ample time in which to select, and because engraving may be done without the Christmas rush. Goods bought now will

laid away for Christmas delivery.
