PUPILS NEED WALK TO SCHOOL HOUSE HACKS ABANDONED

Declaring tbat hack lines for school children in the country have become luxuries and that they, can do much better work after a mile hike In the morning, Township .Trustee Edgerton said today he expected to ; comply strictly with the law in the future and cut the number of hacks in Wayne township from seven to three, v The law reads that hacks may be run only where there has been an abandoned school, the purpose being to keep as many schools open as possible in the thinly settled districts where distance is often given as an excuse for absence. By following the law, as ordered recently by the state board of accounts, there will be a saving of more than $1,000 the first year. ' Mr. Edgerton said many ' of the hacks have circuitous routes five miles in length, taking one and one-half hours to cover. In the winter, the children start; to" school before dayfight If they walked, the trustee ,aid, they would ' have an additional iour at home in the morning.: ' The law says that children from 6 o 12 years old shall not Le required to walk more than one and one-half miles to school and children over 12 not more than two miles.

SHIVELY WANTS JUDGES APPOINTED FOR MERIT

The appointment, rather than the election of judges, which he believed would do much to solve some of the problems of the courts, was advocated by Attorney Charles E. Shiveley of Richmond, in his address before the annual convention of the Indiana' State Bar association which came to a close in Indianapolis yesterday. "I do not. wish to, be. misunderstood in making that terse statement," declared Mr. Shiveley, "I have always been a firm believer in the right of the people to rule, but history, experience and observation show conclusively that there are limitations and qualifications upon that fundamental principle of government that must be observed. When an appointment is made by the president or a governor, the people have been heard in that selection. Efficiency Necessary. "If all judges realized the importance of efficiency in the conduct of their courts, there would be less criticism of the "law's delay." A judge must have good executive and administrative qualifications. While knowledge of the law is essential to make a good judge, yet many men have a good knowledge of law but are so deficient in other qualifications that they never make good judges. ,"The law is ample, the rules of practice are sufficient, lawyers as a rule are willing to aid and not delay litigation but the one.great, potent factor to disarm, all criticisnj of the delays and inefficiency of our courts, is the man on the bench. , Mr. Shiveley's subject was: "Judges I Have Met." In these he named the lazy judge, the story-telling judge, the

talking judge, the arguing 'judge, the old man on the bench, . the pompous judge, . the ; courageous ; judge, the tyrant judge and the lax judge. The speaker emphasized that he spoke not of individuals, but of types. The convention adjourned after, a banquet in the Claypool hotel preceded by the election of officers for the ensuing year.

BOARD GRANTS

Continued From Page One Chautauqua association but it will be as that organization has for several years desired the city to give it a long time privilege to the park grounds.' When the Morton Park and Lake association was formed it was the general understanding that a section of the grounds owned by - this organization were to be used as the permanent location of the Richmond Chautauqua. Consequently the request made by the Chautauqua association recently that it be extended the right to use Glen Miller park five more years came as a surprise to many people. It was supposed tbat the Chautauqua would be

located at Morton park not later than next 'year. .: : . "We do not believe it would be wise to locate the Chautauqua at Morton park in the immediate future." Richard Sedgwick, an officer in both the Morton par and Chautauqua organizations, said today: "Within five years time, we believe, there will be adequate transportation facilities' to Morion park and the public will also, by that time, make more general use of those grounds than they now do. There is no street car line from North E street -to the park. A section of track along' North Nineteenth street has been constructed but there i no line oyer the railroad bridge and there is no prospect of the line being completed in the near future." Another Chautauqua official has admitted that the association was particularly anxious to obtain a long term contract for the use of Glen Miller park for fear than an ensuing administration might oppose continued use of the park. "A five year contract has been tendered the Chautauqua association principally to permit it to make some necessary improvements which it would not care to undertake so long

as tt had no assurance that It could use the park for more than one year," President. Bavis ot the board said tt day. "The association, can now perfect a more complete sanitary system and provide better equipment for the proper protection of the trees. We regard the Chautauqua as one ot the city's best assets and we are anxious to encourage it," f
