EARLHAM TO MAKE SURVEY OF SCHOOL RESULTS FOR CITY
That the educational department of Earlham College Is preparing to conduct an educational survey of the Richmond city schools and that Wayne County, schools are Invited to make use of this surrey was announced: by Superintendent Giles In his lecture this morning at the Wayne County Teachers' Institute on "Measuring Results In Education." Prof. Giles declared that progress in education may be measured in . some cases just as physical development may be measured and that the time has arrived when schools must measure up to the standard of efficiency Just as any other Institution. Conservation," he said, "Is a modern catch-word. We are finding that by eliminating unnecessary motions in our dally labor, we can save strength and produce greater results. The essence of the efficiency system is measurement of effort and result' and the comparison of the one with the other. The day is rapidly approaching when every school teacher will recognize that he or she must not be content with guessing as to the results of class room work, but must be able to know definitely. Outlines Systems. "We have today a .number of systems of measurement already., widely in use. And a vast deal of work has been done to .discover the unit . of measure, , the standard which can serve as a yard-stick in measuring educational results. Much of the data thus obtained has thrown great light on educational problems which have always been obscure. For instance, it was found that among a given number of ten and one-half year old boys, ln-
j telllgence follows the same law of distribution as the physical stature.'"" ! "The school." he said, "has not talcen these laws sufficiently into its cslderation and consequently ha3 ;.. adapted itself to them." He then illustrated the system of measuring ed
ucational results In hand-writing, arithmetic, English composition, spelling and reading. "The acceptance of the principle of measuring results in education, bq that taxpayers may see If the school system Is giving them the fullest possible return for the money, has called Into existence the use of the school survey. "Of course, It is best to call In men who have peculiar ability and special training for this work, but it is possible for a city or county to conduct its own survey. Earlham College is now preparing to make a survey of the Richmond schools. We shall be glad if you who have schools outside the city will make use of this opportunity to have the yard-stick applied to your system of training our boys and girls."

CAMP LIFE SPOILS THEIR COMPLEXIONS
Some of the fair ones of the city are not finding, camp life at the Chautauqua grounds all that it Is cracked up to be. This morning a rather be-draggled looking group . boarded a car bound citywards, and their running fire of comment, Indicated that the weather man . was , very , unpopular . with those particular young ladies. "Never again for me," remarked a well-known young lady who works in a downtown office. "This is my first and last time, out there. Just look at my hair this morning, Betty, it feels like a wad of wool." And indeed the said hair did present a sorry spectacle. It seemed to have lost its balance, and was slyly flirting with her right ear. - "Gee," said the plump little blonde across the aisle, "I'd give a nlckle for a chance to clean my teeth. It's years since I've had a chance to ' brush them." Up spoke the older, of two .sisters. Something seemed to have gone wrong with her complexion. It was there allright on the left cheek, but the other seemed . to have something lacking. "The tent leaked last night, and we Just had the awfullest time. My powder got all wet, and It was Just paste this morning. Ugh! I just hate to tamp."
JUDGE FOX RETURNS FOR CAMPAIGN TOUR
Judge Fox, who has been spending several weeks at French Lick Springs, returned home today. Although circuit court has been adjourned until September 7, the judge was on the bench this morning to pronounce sentence on the Preble county man who pleaded guilty to forgery. No other '-'icss except that which Is abso--iy necessary will be taken up by the judge until September. The judge expects to make a canvass of the county in the interest of the coming election. This is the first extended vacation the judge has taken since he has been in office and he said today that he intends to turn it to good advantage.
TO GIVE RECEPTION AT CRAFTS EXHIBIT
One of the features which will add to the interest in the county exhibit of arts and crafts, which will be held at the high school art gallery probably the last week in November, will be that people will be given an opportunity to purchase from the owners many of the pieces which can be used as Christmas gifts. According to the present plans, a reception will be given on Thanksgiving day. Application blanks to be used by exhibitors wishing to enter their work in the arts and crafts division of the World's Exposition at San Francisco, are expected soon by Miss Edna Johnson, county chairman of the committee, appointed by the state to have charge of the collection of arts and crafts work. As soon as these arrive they will be distributed by Miss Johnson upon application. The work on exhibit locally will be judged and the best of it sent to Indianapolis to be displayed In the state exhibit.
MAY COMPROMISE WATER RATE CASE
The city of Richmond is in no way a party to the suit filed against the public service commission of Indiana by the Richmond City Water Works company in circuit court recently, ac; cording to City Attorney Bond. Mr. Bond says the city, and the water works company no longer have anything in common since the business relation has been , taken by the commission. Under the existing laws, the city is not even empowered to grant a valid franchise to the company. The city probably will be called on to be a witness when the case comes into the courts, if the company is unable to compromise with the commission on the rates and other grounds for complaint

FOR DEFENSE
Official Statement Tells of Troop . Concentration to Defend Coast and Assembling of Navy. BY LEASED WIRE. -PARIS, Aug. 25. A News Agency correspondent in Rome says an official message received there from Vienna announces that Emperor Francis Joseph has ordered the Austrian capital placed in a state of defense that Word has been also received from Trieste that Austrians are concentrating at Pola and Sebinco to defend the Adriatic coast and that the inhabitants of the latter town have been sent inland. He adds that the Austrian fleet has been assembled in the canal at Pola. EXPECT KI3 DEATH. LONDON, Aug. 25. Only one dispatch relating to the condition of Emperor Francis Joseph has been received during the last twenty-four hours. This was received by the Exchange Telegraph company from Copenhagen, and said that the aged Austrian monarch's death might be expected at any moment. The belief is growing here today that the reports as to the Illness of the emperor have been greatly exaggerated, If they are not wholly false. A Central News dispatch from Sarajevo via Amsterdam says that desperate fighting has taken place between Austrians and Servians at Visegrad, with the losses heavy on both sides. TO DEFEND TSING-TAO. LONDON, Aug. 25. A semi-official Reuter dispatch from Vienna says that Emperor Francis Joseph has ordered the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth to co-operate with the German warships defending Tsing-Tao from the Japanese attack. It was officially announced in London Monday that this ship had been ordered disarmed. If this later dispatch is true, Japan will undoubtedly declare war on Austria. RUIN AUSTRIAN PORTS. MILAN, Aug. 25. French and British warships bombarding Cattaro nave destroyed all the Austrian forts there, according to a dispatch from the Dalmatia town. The Austrians attempted to mine the Gulf of Cattaro before the attack, but did not have time to accomplish their purpose.

Of course some of the real wise fellows have it all figured out exactly what prices will do, but the average business man is all at sea. America's wheat crop is the largest we have ever had; none of this enormous crop can at present be shipped out looks like there should be a break somewhere and the price of Flour take a tumble. Millers claim, however, that the farmer wont sell and the ocean-going trade will soon be resumed. That's the Flour situation take your choice. Sugar conditions may be summed up as follows: Everybody excited, too much speculation; England anxious to buy at almost any price. On the other hand the high prices will naturally curtail the consumption, and domestic beet sugars will be on the market October 1 st. Here you can. again take your choice. The whole situation is like a shell game at the country fair, ii. which the man with the high hat, the nut shells and the little pea, invites the spectators, one and all, to step up and tell under which shell the little pea is.

Special Announcement
The campaign, both official and private, against the lifting of prices at the present time has already had a marked effect. In some instances, prices are even receding. Those conservative persons who seem to be distressed at the activity of the national administration on the side of the people need in no way be alarmed. No action that the government can take can stop any LEGITIMATE rise of prices. If they must, in response to economic forces, go up, they will go up. The present action is directed against the speculators the men who are deliberately making prices high on the pretext that a scarcity has been created by the war. The contrary is the truth. With the cutting off of effective demand abroad, due to an interruption of transportation, prices ought to fall as they have in a few instances. What we have, therefore, is a deliberately created 'scarcity' months in anticipation of any that can possibly arise. We Are Optomistic as to the Future Our prices, on a bounteous supply of quality groceries, will positively remain exactly as before in each and every instance. Until our stock is entirely depleted we will not tolerate any unjust advances from our jobbers nor will we perpetrate any on our customers. We are living in the midst of peace and plenty and so far as our little domain extends we are going to do all in our power to preserve this pleasant, peaceful status.
