EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The Hawkins Dam. Following the flood in this city there were a number of people

who vigorously opposed the construction of a dam at Hawkins park, north of Richmond, alleging it would always be a menace to the city.

There appears to be no reason on which to base such an

opposition.

The Hawkins park dam drawings show it to be a most modem

improvement and a benefit rather than a menace to Richmond. It is to be constructed of concrete and steel and when the chief engineer of the Ohio and Lake Erie railroad canal inspected the

plans he was high in his praise of them and advised the construc

tion of the dam.

It will span a wide section of the proposed lake and thereby

minimize the water pressure, and is provided with automatic

sliuces to ease any pressure in the event of a flood, thereby making

it an excellent agency for regulating high waters in the event of

any emergency. It is quite probable that had the dam been con

structed before the flood last week, the Whitewater river would

have done no more damage than it did. It is to be hoped the company promoting the Hawkins park project will not be discouraged by the fears of a few people who opposed the dam before making a thorough investigation of the matter. Such a structure, properly safeguarded will provide an excellent place for the amusement and recreation of the people of Richmond.

STANDARDS OF EDUCATION.

"Our age makes standards impera

tive," declared Dr. George Edwin MacLean, formerly president of the State

University of Iowa, in a bulletin just issued by the United States Bureau of Education. Dr. MacLean points out

how the same need that has led to

standard gage for railway tracks and

a common monetary basis applies to institutions of higher learning. In the case of the universities, "The worldwide interchange of thought, exchange of scholars, and migration of students" have inevitably created the demand for recognized standards. Dr. MacLean attempts to portray the standards of American higher education as they have been and as they are. ' After tracing the significant changes that have taken place in American college standards from colonial days down through the battle over the elective system, he discusses the present standards of collegiate departments In the United States; standards of theological schols, medical schools, law schools, schools of engineering, dental schools, schools of

pharmacy, schools of fine arts and

music, and universities In general.

In his summary Dr. MacLean suggests that the Increasingly high professional standards, which make the American graduate 26 or 27 years old

in beginning the practice of his pro

fession. form an important point in

the demand for a complete reorganization of the educational system.

true both among the poor and the rich. Often the children are not looked after, the idea being that, as the state educates them, the state ought also to care for their morals. It is a bad sign when we have to pass curfew laws, and laws forbidding children to attend theaters unless accompanied by parents. For such state action is made necessary simply because fathers and mothers are not doing their duty by their children or by society.

So we run over the world looking for giants to kill, never seeming to realize that most evils can be traced directly

IMPORTANT HEALTH CONGRESS. America will soon have an unusual opportunity to find out just what the world-wide health movement of the twentieth century really amounts to In the field where its influence is most felt in the schools. The International Congress on School Hygiene, to be held at Buffalo, N. Y., August 25-30, will be an international summing up of recent achievements in the hygiene of the school. The congress is international and national. Practically every foreign country and every state in the United States will be represented by delegates. So far all the states but Oklahoma, Arizona, Missouri, Alabama, Maine, Florida, and Kansas, have been heard from favorably. It is estimated that at least 8,000 delegates will be in attendance, 3,000 of them from abroad. Many of the most prominent scientists and educators in this and foreign countries have promised to present papers and lead discussions at the meeting. A preliminary program ' of the congress has been issued, copies of which may be procured from the United State Bureau of Education at Washington, or from Dr. Thomas A. Storey, secretary-general of the congress, City College, New York City.

A Warning to the Public. Carelessness is responsible for the major part of the fire losses in this country. With the situation confronting Richmond today, unusual precautions should be taken by every one of .its residents to safeguard the city from a disastrous conflagration, and if every one

is careful, the danger of such a disaster is remote. It may be that before the Palladium is delivered into the homes of this city that the break in the water main will have been repaired, but acting on the possibility that the city will still be cut off from its water supply tonight, the Palladium desires to emphasize the necessity of every man, woman and child taking every precaution against fire and to adopt sanitary measures to prevent illness.

If by this evening you have not secured a supply of water for

drinking and cleansing purposes, or to use in case a blaze starts in your home or place of business, secure some from a neighbor who

has a cistern or go to Glen Miller and get spring water. If you use cistern water for drinking purposes be sure to boil it. The menace of typhoid fever lurks in cistern and city well water which has not been boiled.

In the event the city is still without fire protection tonight the

short history of the remarkable recovery of ray mother-in-law (Mrs. Anna Gorert) might benetlt some other sufferers, I give the following testimonial: About Se)temler 10, 1!H8. she was taken sick with Catarrlinl Pneumonia, and continually prew worse, requiring a trained nurse. : Nifclit sweats were so bail that it was I necessary to clmnpre her clothing- once or j twice every night; her cough increased ! and frt go bad that everybody expected j that she would not live much longer. I In January, when Rev. Wm. Berg, of I St. Michael's Church, at Rhereville, Ind., ' prepared for her death, he recommended that I fret Eckman's Alterative, and sen If it would not frive her some relief. I then requested the attending physician to give his diagnosis and he informed me that she had Consumption and was beyond all medical aid. When I asked if he thought that It wag useless to try the Alterative, he replied that 'No physician could help her any and I could suit myI self about it.' So I Immediately had Rev. Wm. Berg to send for a bottle. Practically without hope for recovery. I I insisted that she try the Alterative, which shp did. I am glad to say that she soon began to Improve. Now. she works as hard as ever, weighs twenty pounds heavier than she ever did before she took sick, and is in good health. She frankly says she owes her life and health to Eckman's Alterative."

daily habit to read your local newspaper thoroughly? j Cutting out all question of the educative effect of following public news events, look at it merely for the moment as a question of self-interest. The housewife learns from the newspaper advertising how the cost of living can be reduced. She gathers information as to what her children are doing in school, which may be vital to her hopes for their good scholarship. She learns of concerts and entertainments that add variety and pleasure to her life, which but for newspaper notice she would miss. She learns of chances to secure domestic service. The business man finds out about openings by which he can turn an honest dollar. He learns how the farmers are telling their crops, what values real estate men place on their holdings, who is seeking employment, and what trade conditions are. Still more important, he learns what his competitors are doing. He gets constant sugestions as to how his commodities can be profitably marketed and meet the popular taste. The mechanic learns about the business outlook of the factories, and he can thereby form some impression of

homes are so properly interested.

much important truth is being brought to light. The latest contributor is Judge Gemmill, of the Chicago court of domestic relations. He says that of the hundred girls whoses cases he has lately considered, 51 of the hundred, all of whom had "gone wrong." were domestic servants. Only 21 worked in factories and only six were saleswomen. These figures would seem to indicate that here is a very large opportunity for reform in the homes of the land, as Well as in the shops and factories. If there were a careful looking after those who dwell in our homes, but we do not seem to be part of them, we should see a great change for the better. The old doc

trine that reform should begin at home

seems to apply in this case. It is well to guard the shop girl and factory workers. But while we are deploring the bad conditions in shop and factory, conditions in the home on the basis of Judge Gemmill's experience are much worse. In this connection a reading of Mrs. Josephine Daskam Bacon's story, entitled "The Backslider," and printed in the Saturday Evening Post, might be found helpful. The Chicago judge also found that in 50 per cent of the cases the homes of the girls had been broken up, either by death or divorce, and that in other cases the home conditions were intolerable because of the drunkenness or shiftlessness of the parents. It would, of course, be very foolish to base any

general conclusion on such a narrow range of facts. And yet there can be no doubt that there is a great work yet to be done by the homemakers of the world, and also that that work is

being somewhat neglected. This is i his chances for steady work or better

wages. He learns how his brother workmen in other employments are

trying to improve their condition, and he finds chances in the advertising, to save money on the tood and clothing of his family. The farmer learns about the crop outlook, and the governing values of

For several years there has been much discussion of the necessity of having two water mains leading from the pumping station into the city, but the Company could not be compelled to lay the additional main. The careless and inexcusable blasting which demolished a section of the city's only water main will, however, serve one good purpose should the Richmond City Water Works company seek further delay in the construction of a second main into Richmond, the state public utilities commission will have sufficient reason for compelling the company to immediately make this most important improvement. Concerning the breaking of the water main yesterday it is to be hoped that the authorities will make a thorough investigation as to the causes surrounding the accident. If criminal carelessness is shown then there is an opportunity for an obiect lesson on

the necessity of properly safeguarding all utilities upon which the health and welfare of the citizens depend.

WILBUR RICHE HAD FLOOD EXPERIENCE (Palladium Special) CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind., April 4. Mrs. Mae Boden is in receipt of a letter from Mrs. Mary Riche, who is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Forrest Hill, of Indianapolis, saying that they were all right, but further stated that she had received a letter from her son, Wilbur, of Dayton, written from West Milton. Ohio. Mr. Riche had gone out in a boat to rescue a family when the flood was at its height. He said that he was out fifty hours or more, part of the time spent on drift and part clinging to a tree. His wife and son Vernon, had spent the night on a neighboring roof, the water hav

ing risen to the depth of eighteen inches in the second story of their home. Their furnishings were ruined but they were glad to escape with their lives. Mr. Hill is in Dayton and upon his return Mrs. Riche will come to her home in this city.

John Borden, Chicago, will go in June to the arctic regions on a pleasure trip.
