MOVE TO SHORTEN HOURS Ji SCHOOL Calgary Starts Plan to Abolish Home Studies for Small Children.

FIRST YEARLY MEETING HELD BY FRIENDS IN 1821

CALGARY.. Albert, Sept. . IS. A movement which has for its object the shortening of the number of hours spent by pupils in the public schools of Calgary and for the abolition of home studies for the smaller children is now under way. It is the contention of many parents that the hours spent in the confinement of the classroom are quite sufficient without their having to pore over books for almost the entire evening and the movement for the light-

The first session of Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends was held in tenth month, 1821, at the Whitewater log meeting house, to the east end of which a plank shed, 40 by 60 feet, had been erected to accommodate the meeting. This house stood near the northeast corner of the present Whitewater burying ground, about 200 feet west of the old brick house. At this first session steps were taken toward building a substantial and commodious house for the meeting. The plan of the house, agreed upon in 1822, was for a brick building 60 by 100 feet, with side walls 25 feet high. The managers of the building, appointed in 1821, were Jeremiah Cox, Samuel Charles and Thomas Roberts The next year John Charles was added, but in 1823 he and Jeremiah Cox were released at their own request, and Charles Moffitt was added, making the managers Samuel Charles, Thomas Roberts and Charles Moffitt, who served until the house was completed in 1829. The land belonging to the old yearly meeting house was 9.3 acres, costing $856.70, and obtained by two purchases from Jeremiah Cox, in 1822 and 1830, and two from Charles W. Starr, in 1826 and 1838. The most of the building was done in 1823, and It was probably used for yearly meeting purposes in 1825 or earlier. In 1826 the privilege was given for Whitewater quarterly,

monthly and particular meetings to use the new house for their meetings." The cost of the building, as well as can be determined from the reports made from year to year, was about $6,100.00. Of this sum Ohio Yearly meeting gave $66.3S. and nearly all the balance was furnished by the ive quarterly meetings constituting Indiana Yearly meeting at its establishment in 1821: Miami, 33 per cent; West Branch. 12 per cent; Fairfield. 11 per cent; Whitewater, 32 per cent, and Blue River, 11 per cent. Three other quarterly meetings. New Garden, Westfield and Centre, established while the house was building, gave some towards its cost. The following persons were the reg

ularly appointed clerks of the men's meeting for the years given: BenjaImin Honkins 1821 1823 and 1824:

George Carter. 1822; James Pegg, 1825 and 1826; Elijah Coffln. 1827 to 1857; Charles F. Coffin, 1S5S to 1878 and continuing to 1SS4. Indiana Yearly meeting was held annually in the old brick house till

1 1878, when its present home on East

Main street came into use. During this time its walls often resounded with the gospel message of many noted Friend ministers from both sides of the Atlantic. Of those from England there may be mentioned, Jonathan and Hannah C. Backhouse in 1831 and '34,

I Joseph John Gurney in 1837, Benja-

Imln Seebohm in 1S4S, '49 and '50, and I Joseph Bevan Braithwaite in 1865 and

'78. The old house also witnessed many Important transactions and events, among which the attendance of Henry Clay at the flrst-dar morning meeting for worship, tenth month 2d. 1S42, is often mentioned.
