A VOCATIONAL EDUCATION ACT

The importance of the Vocational

Education law enacted at the 1913

general assembly of Indiana can hardly be overestimated. It is expected

eventually to revolutionize the educational system of the state. Where in the case of the public service commission bill Indiana followed other states, in this case Indiana leads the nation. Already other commonwealths are asking for copies of the law with a view of enacting similar 1 laws. It is not compulsory on any county of the state to undertake vocational I education. , But by a little thought it can be seen how counties will gain in the long run by going ahead with the new education under the act. In the first ' place an additional levy of one cent on each one hundred dollars of taxable property in the state is laid by the law. The resulting fund will be used by the state board of education to assist in founding vocational educational schools and departments in existing schools. If a county does not take advantage of the new system it will only pay taxes to help some other community. But if a county undertakes vocational instruction the state will pay twothirds of the expense, and out of the fund raised by the one cent tax. Country and city communities benefit by the new law, because vocational education in the bill is defined as "any education the controlling purpose of which is to fit for profitable employment." And the general term is divided again into "industrial education" and "agricultural education" and "domestic science." Trades, crafts, and wage-earning pursuits, including the occupations of girls and women carried on in stores, workshops and other establishments are included under industrial education. Occupations connected with the tillage of the soil, the care of domestic animals, forestry and other wage earning or productive work on the farm is embraced under agricultural education. Domestic science in the law is dened as that form of vocational education which fits for occupations connected with the household. Evening and part time classes for employed men and women are provided for in the law. Any school city, town or township may through its board of school trustees or school commissioners or township trustees, establish vocational schools or departments in the same manner as other schools or departments are established and may maintain the same from the common school funds or from a special tax levy not to exceed 10 cents on each $100 of taxable property, or partly from 'both sources. Two or more communities may cooperate to establish and maintain vocational schools or departments. After September 1, 1915, elementary agriculture shall be taught in the grades in all town and township schools; elementary industrial work in the grades In all city and town schools, and elementary domestic science in the grades of all schools of city, town and township. The state board of education shall outline a course of study for each of such grades as they may determine which shall be followed as a minimum requirement. Similar courses may be made optional in the high schools. The state board of education is authorized by the law to investigate the subject of industrial education and to aid in its introduction around the state. It shall make annual reports to the general assembly of the progress of such education. The law tven changes the makeup of the state board of education, requiring that in the future it shall consist of the superintendent of public instruction, the presidents of Purdue university, the State university and the State Normal school, the superintendents of schools of the three cities having the largest enumeration of children for school purposes, three citizens of prominence actively engaged in educational work in the state, one of whom shall be a county superintendent of schools, pnd three persons actively interested In and of known sympathy with vocational education, one of whom shall be a representative of employes and one of employers. The governor shall appoint the members of the board, except the ex-offlcio . members, for a terra of four years. Th farmers of Indiana particularly

A Sensible Idea.

The girls of the high school graduating class at Logansport have decided to wear simple and inexpensive gowns at the graduation exercises, thereby setting an, excellent example for the Richmond high school girls to follow. The Logansport Reporter says : It will have a fine moral and social effect; also a financial one. There is no doubt, whatever, that this occasion has been in the past a burden upon parents who could ill afford the extravagance. It will not do to say that the girls can regulate their apparel if they wished, without this excellent resolution of the class as a body. No parents wish, nor will they witness an unfavorable contrast in the dress of their daughter with the raiment of other graduates. There is really no escape except the wise one provided by the girls themselves, and it is certainly a wholesome thing for these young ladies to do. Undoubtedly it meant some sacrifice and restraint on the part of many of these girls whose parents would not have felt the burden of expense. But they will be many times repaid for their gentle forethought in the appreciation of the less able parents of girls who are as much loved by their fathers and mothers as the more fortunate. In a few towns in New England the experiment of adopting uniform dress for boys and girls attending public schools is being made and satisfactory results have been obtained. No longer do the children of poor families in these places worry their parents with complaints that they are not as well dressed as their more fortunate schoolmates, tempting them to extravagances through the appeals to paternal pride and love.

An Honor for Indiana.

Although Indiana firmly retains her position in the ranks of the reactionary states, it is probable that her people will have the first opportunity to select their next United States senator by direct vote, a progressive reform soon to be written into the United States constitution. Only three more states must vote on this constitutional amendment and the legislatures of these states are now in session and are said to be favorable to the amendment. Senator Shively's term of office soon expires and the people must decide next year whether he is to be returned to the senate. Direct election of United States senators will be an epochmaking event in American history and will sound the death knell of all Smoots, Baileys, Penroses and Lorimers. Now and then the electorate of some state will make an unwise selection in their representative in the senate, but as a whole, a better class of men will be sent to that body and they will more faithfully represent the will of the people, because they will be directly responsible to the people, which our legislature-created statesmen are not. , The candidate with the largest purse will no longer have a handicap on the candidate without the means or desire to stoop to bribery. Under the present method of electing United States senators wonderful men have been sent to the senate, but during the nineties and the early part of the present century Big Business fastened its grip upon that lawmaking body and senatorial standards degenerated, the doors of that august chamber being opened to men who had bought their seats in it, and to men who controlled great political organizations and who were allied with dangerous and unscrupulous special interests predatory combinations which operate in restraint of trade. Of late the public conscience has been awakened and the improvement of the personnel of the senate, in consequence, has been marked. Nearly all the members of the Aldrich Old Guard have been retired, including the boss himself, but even now the type of faithful public servants as represented by Nelson, Gore, La Follette and Dixon are too few and to recruit their ranks the popular election of senators is required. With the prospect of such a senatorial election in Indiana next year the shadow of Tom Taggart in toga fades and the possibility of Albert J. Beveridge or a man of his type to succeed Mr. Shively becomes brighter.

are looked after in the new law. Whenever twenty or more residents of a county who are actively interested In agriculture shall file a petition with the county board of education for a county agent, together with a deposit of $500 to be used in defraying expenses of such agent, the county board of education shall file the petition within thirty days with the county council which must appropriate annually $1,500 to be used in paying the salary and other expenses of the county agent. Then the county education board applies to Purdue university for a county agent who co-operates with farmers' institutes, farmers' clubs and other organizations and as

sists the farmers of the county generally. The state assumes part of the cost of keeping him also.

Are You Subject To Constipation

HERE IS A SIMPLE WAY OF CORRECTING IT INSTANTLY BEFORE IT BECOMES CHRONIC. Very few people go through life without some time or other being troubled with constipation. Thousands injure themselves by the use of strong cathartics, salt mineral waters, pills and similar things. They have temporary value in some cases, it is true, but the good effect is soon lost, and the more one takes of them the less effective they become. A physic or purgative is seldom necessary, and much better and more permanent results can be obtained by using a scientific remedy like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. It does not hide behind a high sounding name, but is what it is represented to be, a mild laxative medicine. It is so mild that thousands of mothers give it to tiny infants, and yet it is so compounded, and contains such definite ingredients that it will have equally good effect when used by a person suffering from the worst chronic constipation. In fact, among the greatest endorsers of Syrup Pepsin are elderly people who have suffered for years and found nothing to benefit them until they took Syrup Pepsin. It is a fact that millions of families have Syrup Pepsin constantly in the house, homes like those, of Mrs. G. B. Pruitt, Berea, Ky.. who used Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin as a laxative tonic. Mrs. Pruitt writes that it so strengthened and cleansed her system that she was quickly relieved of a severe cough which had troubled her for months. The special value of this

MRS. G. B. PRUITT grand laxative tonic is that it is suited to the needs of every member of the family. It is pleasant-tasting, mild and non-griping. Unljke harsh physics it works gradually and in a brief time the stomach and bowel muscles are trained to do their work naturally again, when all medicines can be dispensed with. You can obtain a bottle at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. The latter size is usually bought by families who already know its value. Results are always guaranteed or money will be refunded. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, send your address a postal will do to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 417 Washington St., Montlcello. 111., and a free sample bottle will be mailed you.
