Studying Governmental Needsr The fact that some 235,000 Indiana voters at the November election registered their desire for the creation of a constitutional convention to rewrite the state charter is ample justification for the calling of the state conference on the question of a new constitution for Indiana, which will be held at Indianapolis on Tuesday, January 26. While the proposition did not carry when it was originally submitted to the people, the votes in its favor represent so imposing a total of Indiana citizenship as to leave no doubt that, with wider opportunity for consideration and discussion, the people will emphatically register their approval of constitutional revision. There could scarcely be a more substantial rrroundwork for a movement of this character than the state-wide conference on constitutional needs that is now to be provided. When the peo

ple, representing all shades of opinion and entertaining a variety of views on public questions, assemble to study and to discuss governmental needs, tremendous good is bound to come from it. That is precisely the purpose of the coming conference, and the representative character of the men who will be heard makes it well worth while. Prominent on the program are to be Senator Robert L. Owen of Oklahoma; President W. E. Stone of .Purdue, university; Judge Henry Eichhorn of Bluff ton; Hon. Fred I. King of Wabash; Judge J. B. Wilson of - Bloomington, representing three great political parties, while commer manufacture, organized labor and other aven of industry are represented on the progran ;y men of high standing and devoted to civic purpose. The movement is wholly non-partisan and back of it is much of the very finest citizenship of Indiana. , That the defeat of the constitutional convention proposition last fall was due not to opposition but to apathy and to the failure to get the question fully before the people can scarcely be doubted. With the exception of the opposition of the liquor interests and occasional representatives of the legal profession, no organized fight was made against it. It failed not because of opposition, but because the people had not been sufficiently acquainted with its importance. Cer

tain amendments to the present state charter

now proposed would merely patch up the document without either remedying present defects or giving Indiana the advantage of modernized government. The people can always be trusted. During the coming two years they are going to come together in just such conferences as that now proposed, discuss as good citizens the things they ought to have, and then insist on getting them. The .new constitution for Indiana is still a very live issue. Fort Wayne Sentinel.

Editor Palladium: As an observer who does not care to be mentioned let me make a few comments on the charity concert. As a person who has seen both hard and good times, whp has made money fast, but lost it sometimes faster, I naturally feel with the big bunch that is struggling for existence. At this time we have many gentleman tramps. As a dealer in food stuffs, I happen to know. It was just a year ago a seldom thing to have more than one tramp a month, but now we. have an average of thirty. Good increase in the tramp business isn't it? Some fellows offer to do anything for something to eat. One man came back at two different times and insisted on washing my windows. This kind of trampr ought 1 to be awarded the medal for politeness. Three-fourths of our poor are only victims of present circumstances and ought to be helped. One of the many opportunities to help the worthy poor wiU be presented at the charity concert on Feb. 3. The musicians and upholders of the

grandest art on earth, music, will give time and energy to make this a great success. A musician is the poorest paid man in the city and usually is the first to respond to a call for help. If one quorter of our citizens give a quarter for a ticket for this occasion it will raise the substantial sum of over a thousand dollars. ' A thousand dollars for February and March will mean so much for ' the worthy poor of our midst. But It only means a quarter to you who are at work. This is a citizens concert. Its to help your neighbor who may some day have a chance to smile again. AN OBSERVER.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WRITES PAPER ADVOCATING STUDY OF CLASSIC WORKS

Ralph Nicholson Says Reading Latin Enables Americans to Use English Language With Facility and Accuracy-Essay

Intends to Interest New Students.

DEESON ELECTED AS DIRECTOR OF COLUMBUS DROVERS Milton Man Gets Position in Stock Yards Association in Ohio.

The- following article was prepared by Ralph Nicholson as a review and comment oa an Albert S. Perkin's discussion of "Latin As a Practical Study." It is intended to interest students in the study of classics. The article follows: "What is meant by the word practical," one may ask? I reply by another question. Can anything be more practical than the ability to use the mother-tongue with facility and accuracy? At this point allow me to quote President Eliot: "The power to understand rightly and to use critically the mother-tongue is the flower of all education. As a' matter of fact, strange as It may appear, lack of this very power, in the opinion of many, is'.h most iglaTingr deficiency of our' whole educational system today. In the college and all our schools we are forever hearing about poor English. For this state of affairs the college blames the high school, the high

school blames the elementary school, the elementary school the family, while the family throws the odium back upon heredity and the problem is given up in dispair. In our schools at the present time hundreds upon hundreds of girls are studying phonography until it seems as if the whole world would be overrun with stenographers. Yet, a few months ago, a prominent insurance man, who employs twenty stenographers and clerks, voiced a complaint, when he made the statement that it is getting to be more and more difficult every day to secure competent stenographers. On account of the things in general, . English in particular, many of them can write little except by the most painstaking-or perhaps I enould say painful dictation. . What

is worst in not a few cases, on account of -nistakes in spelling or the meaning of words, it is actually unsafe to allow a letter to leave the office without inspection. A girl thus handicapped in her knowledge of English is fortunate is she can secure and bold

a yusiuou at eigm or ten dollars a

week.

Now, does it not seem obvious that

a stenographer, if she .expects to earn a living wage, must be something more than a mere automaton? She

should at least be thoroughly ground ed in her native tonsue.

Furthermore, a boy who wishes to lay a solid foundation for a business career needs the most careful training in English. Other things being equal, it is plain that man stands the best

cnance to sell nis goods, or. in eeneral

advance his. business interests, who knows something about the meaning

or woras ana nas as much facility in expressing himself as he can possibly get. Now as a partial remedy for these deficiencies in English, and as a- lielp-in -acquiring a practicaly education, I suggest getting hack to classics. In what way could we today render more effective aid y the cause of the classics than by demonstrating to the educational world that Latin is the most practical study a high school pupil can take, whether he is preparing for college or for business, because, without it, it is well-nigh impossible to obtain that mastery of the native English necessary to success in the great world of action.
