The Richmond Palladium

AND SUN-TELEG RAM-

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Masonic Building. Ninth and North A Streets. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. In Richmond, 10 cents a week. By Mail, in advance one year, $5.00; six months, $2.60; one month, 45 cents. Rural Routes, in advance one year, $2.00; six months, $1.25; one month 25 cents. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mail Matter. Evolve a Snout If, in the interest of international peace, our nation must not appropriate $100,000 to promote rifle practice among school boys of the country, must not build any more battleships and must lead in a race of one for first honors in disarming before the, rest of the world starts to, then, for the love of Mike, let's appropriate a hundred times $100,000 to teach the young how to burrow. In this age of military aeroplanes the only unarmed and defenseless nation on earth will have to be inhabited by human moles.

Hindsight The action of the progressive Republican statesmen in their recent meeting at Chicago reminds one of the old saying, "Foresight is better than hindsight." It is all very well to talk now of correcting the glaring inequalities of southern representation in Republican national conventions, of changing the rules and reorganizing the national committee so that its personnel shall be made up according to the will of the party by states, By primaries as well as by the old convention system, but actions speak louder than words. The time to have done all this was months ago before the last national convention. After all the fraud and corruption that was practiced there to defeat the will of a clear majority of the rank and file of the party it is too late to expect those who, disgusted and mortified by the public manifestation of the real and sinister controlling factors of their party, blazed the way for a newer and better national life by the formation of the new Progressive party, to return to a fold whose black sheep so dominate it that they must be asked to resign if the party is to be reformed.

Protest Against Mr. Brown Unfounded The very reasons President Kelly of Earlham college gives for objecting to the selection of H. G. Brown as the next superintendent of Richmond's schools seem to the Palladium to be excellent ones for recommending him for the position. Mr. Brown's special study of vocational training and his belief in its great value mark him as a man fitted to take a foremost place in directing this important advance in educational progress. Present educational methods are a survival of the age when all education was monopolized by a privileged class. Only a few could afford college training and consequently primary courses were arranged to prepare that class for its higher educational advantages. When the masses abolished the monopoly of education by the few and made it free to all through the public schools, not understanding the existing fundamental concept of the old system, they did not change it. They sent their sons, who were to become mechanics, clerks, bookkeepers or farmers, "to be taught to enter colleges where they would have studied to fill the limited field offered by engineering, chemistry, the arts or teaching. We say "would have studied" because the following statistics show the lamentable breakdown of the system as far as the higher educational advantages are concerned for the great mass of people : In the United States in 1890, of all the students in public high schools, but 14.4 per cent, were, preparing for college. In the United States in 1910, but 5.5 per cent, of the public high school students were preparing for college and only 2.67 per cent, of these actually entered college. In Indiana in 1910, out of every one hundred public school students 88 were in the common schools, SY2 were in the high schools, and but 2ljt were in the colleges. Now comes vocational training to change this deplorable condition. Briefly, as we understand it, vocational training will teach all our public school pupils to use their hands intelligently as well as their brains. Those enormous armies of students that never can go to college will be given training that will fit them to go to work more efficiently at the various vocations that will give them their daily bread throughout life, and, consequently, with more and quicker compensation. Vocational training will help even that small per cent, of students who will go to the colleges. It is a demonstrated fact that intelligent development of the muscles of the hands through work, at the same time that mental training is being carried on, assists in developing even greater mental capacity than where the mental training alone is encouraged and considered. With the final adoption of the great principle of vocational training in our educational system our colleges will undeniably benefit. Today they are too much like a head with an over developed mentality on a weak, puny and inefficient I body. In the future they will have the inestima-

ble stimulus of a strong and healthy body, made so by vocational training. Granting this, why should not Richmond take the lead in supporting vocational training? Feeling that President Kelly is decidedly wrong in his conclusions that too much emphasis will be. placed on vocational training, why should not Richmond insist that its school board shall consider very seriously the qualifications of Mr. Brown, selected by Governor Ralston, a firm believer in vocational training, for the state board of education because of his understanding of this important question, for superintendent of our schools? Believing that the two systems in reality are one, that vocational training will help the college as well as that the college will reciprocate in its value to vocational training, why should not Richmond seek to advance her position as an educational center by seeking to locate here one of the proposed four vocational training institutes of the state? The Palladium regrets being apparently placed in the position of espousing the cause of any one of the candidates for superintendent before the board of education. President Kelly's protest against considering appointing Mr. Brown on account of his enthusiasm for vocational training, however, is founded, this paper feels, on wrong conclusions. It comes from a man of such high standing and prominence in our community as well as in educational circles, and is so apt to cause an injustice to Mr. Brown that it is only fair and just to the people of the community and to Mr. Brown to call attention to the great value of vocational training and to Mr. Brown's high position in that particular line of educational endeavor as well as to his well known general qualifications.

More Car Lines President Todd of the traction company has decided wisely in promising to come to Richmond soon to consider the advisability of his company's investing additional money in car line extensions in south Richmond. The foreign head of the local street railway lines will find that being more closely in touch with Richmond's needs will help promote efficiency for his traction system, by preventing confidence-destroying agitation and misunderstandings due to the lack of get together and personal investigation spirit. Anyone familiar with the south end of Richmond during the past ten years knows that section of the city has experienced a remarkable growth in population. Thanks to the unending efforts of the South Side Improvement Association new factories have been located there, a large land addition has been made to the city and many new homes have been built. Further progress can and will be made. But unless the means of transit to and from the various parts of the city are now extended to cater more conveniently to the needs of the south end people, their further progress or expansion must necessarily be slower. With the unused freight tracks in the park soon to come out, this condition . can happily be prevented by relaying them in the south end. In this manner and at a minimum of expense and time, the traction company can put its capital represented by these unused tracts to work profitably, and share in the. benefits thus accruing to that section of Richmond.

A NET TO SNARE THE MOONLIGHT By Nicholas Vachel Lindsay

The dew, the rain and moonlight All prove our Father's mind. The dew, the rain and moonlight Come down to bless mankind. Come let us see that all men Have land to catch the rain, Have grass to snare the spheres of dew, And fields spread for the grain: Yea, we would give to each poor man Ripe wheat, and poppies red, A peaceful place at evening, With the stars just overhead: A net to snare the moonlight, A sod spread to the sun; A place of toil by daytime, Of dreams when toil is done. American Magazine.

Health a Factor in Success. The largest factor contributing to a man's success is undoubtedly health.

They not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen digestion. They arc sold by all dealers. (Advertisement)

Because his wife refused to arise at 4:30 o'clock this morning to prepare his breakfast, Samuel Hill, a colored junk dealer,- assaulted his spouse, striking her and throwing small pieces of furniture at her. She filed an affidavit against Hill this morning, exhibiting as evidence a large scalp wound. Stitches were necessary to close the wound. Hill was seen passing the city building by Mrs. Hill, who was leaving the place. She ran back to police headquarters and told the police to arrest him. Hill made no statement, except that his wife had his money and that the police should lock him up if 6he refused to furnish the $25 bond necessary for his release. Mrs. Hill said she would not give that amount for her husband's freedom.
