CO-OPERATIOH IN SELECTING BOOKS

Plan Adopted to Ask Assistance in Choosing Uniform Textbook.

R. L. KELLY PRESENT

President of Earlham Favors Construction of Building At Decatur.

(Palladium Special) INDIANAPOLIS, April 23. While the final responsibility of adopting textbook! for all Indiana high schools will fall on the state board of education, committees of high school and college teachers will co-operate with the board in selecting the books to be used In accordance with the proTisions of the new uniform high school textbook law. The decision to call upon high school and college instructors for assistance in selecting textbooks was reached yesterday at a meeting of the state board of education in the office of the state superintendent of schools. The plan was adopted on a recommendation of W. I. Bryan, president of Indiana University; Robert L. Kelly, president of Earlham College, and J. O. Collicott, superintendent of the Indianapolis public schools. Because of the crowded condition of the Decatur schools, the board ordered that the physical condition of the achols there be improved in the immediate future and suggested a plan for a new high school. The Decatur High school will not be recom missioned until the state board is notified that its recommendations will be complied with. Call Meeting. The officers of the high school section of the State Teachers' Association will be asked to call a meeting of the high school principals of the state to select ten persons, actively engaged fn college or high school work, to represent each of eight groups of subjects as follows: Algebra and chemistry, history and civics, Latin, English, German, physics, zoology, botany and physical geography and commercial geography and agricultural botany. . The officers of the various sections of the state association are also to meet and submit for each of the eight sections the names of ten teachers who are considered qualified for passing on textbooks to be selected. This will make a committee of twenty members, to represent each .of the eight groups of subjects, or 160 in all. After the high school principals and officers of the various sections of the state association have suggested names, the state board will choose seven members from each of the eight groups of twenty members. All persons selected by the board to serve on the advisory committee must receive... two-thirds vote of the board. The selections may be made at the next meeting to be held May 22. The persons who are finally selected for places on the advisory committee will be required to consider all available textbooks adapted to high school work and to submit in writing their first, second and third choices of texts relating to each subject. The construction of a new high school building at Decatur and the removal of a grade school from a basement are urged by the two board members, President Kelly of Earlham College and J. N. Study, superintendent of the Fort "Wayne schools, who Inspected the Decatur schools. The report of the board will be sent to O. L. Vance, president of the Decatur school board. Rooms Conjected. "You ' have no general assembly room in your high school and conditions , are quite congested," reads the report. "One room is used for the three sciences offered and no provision whatever is made for double laboratory periods, as required by this board. The enrollment of the 'Decatur high school has been doubled In three years and there is every reason to believe this growth will continue. Your board should make a levy sufficiently large either to raise $15,000 a year for a new building or else to raise ?10,000 a year for two years, with the understanding that at the end of two years bonds will be Issued to supplement the sinking fund thus provided and that the erection of a building then proceed. "Some of the grade schools of Decatur are too crowded. One school In the basement of the library is not well suited for school work, with inadequate light and ventilation." While criticising the physical condition of the Decatur schools, the state board reports that the teaching is of high order and that the schools are well organized. The high school at Epsom, Daviess County, is to be commissioned. Several other high schools were recom-miesioned.

Bohn Syphon Arc Machines Let 0s Demonstrate How They Work

Put your . hand in a Bohn, with the ice and food in it, and feel the cold "breeze" actually "blowing" through it. Place your hand in any corner, anywhere and you'll feel this perfect circulation. Take a match and scratch it on the walls, anywhere. The match will light, for these walls are perfectly dry. Test the temperature with a thermometer and it will register 42 degrees or lower. Some boxes full of ice, will register 70 degrees.

Such an "ice box" once caused an epidemic in a New York hospital. The Bohn Syphon Refrigerator is a machine in which there is constant action and a constant temperature of 42 degrees. It is this temperature and this action that check the multiplication of germs in food kept in the Bohn. The checking of germmultiplication is the whole idea of refrigeration. It was the enormous germ multiplication due to the heat in the Ice box that caused that hospital epidemic.

iiillfflffi : : is im if )!

If you'll call at our store any time well demonstrate - how the Bohn Syphon Refrigerator prevents germ multiplication, and we'll give you, free, a book called "Scientific Food Keeping," that tells all about it and about the risks we run in the way some of us keep home food. This is a valuable book, madam, orta yifal Inbject. Step in today and get one. It doesn't obligate you to buy a refrigerator.
