The State Superintendent of Education

. It is apparent, that the best interests of Indiana schools will be served by a new super

intendent of rjublic instruction. Ellis has not

measured up to the expectations of his party.

L. N. Hines, superintendent of the schools

at Crowfordsville has . announced himseii as a candidate for the Republican nomination for this position. Hines is known in Richmond where he

has visited irequently. tie has made an unqualified success of his work in Crawfordsville. This also holds true of his work at Union City and Hartford. He holds a master's degree from Indiana University. . Hines has a reputation that extends beyond the borders of the Hoosier state. He is vice president of the National Educational Association, and has been, president of the American School of HygieneAssociation and president of the school management division of the National Educational Association. He is editor of the Educator Journal and chairman of the Legislative committee of the State Teachers Association. - ' In an announcement of his platfbrm Hines sets out that he proposes to give the people of Indiana the greatest educational benefits possible for the money they spend. The people of Indiana have a right to demand the highest qualifications from the head of its educational system. Incompetency at the head of the schools means the development of poor citizens and the rearing of children who have been deprived of the educational advantages which they deserved having. Win-the-War American That's the only type of American who has any business walking our streets and inhabiting our land. The hour is far gone when hyphenated Americans, Democratic Americans, Republican Americans,, Prohibitionist Americans, or any kind of American but Win-the-War Americans can lay claim to citizenship. Partisanship patriotism and dual loyalty are impossible. There is only one United States, one American flag, one American people. He who divides his love between two countries, knows more than one flag and people, and puts his party above his country, is a man without a country, an exile among friends, a renegade among patriots. National unity is greater than partisanship or racial instinct. It solidifies our interests, welds us into the union of common effort, and makes our nation a potential factor in defeating the enemy. A Win-the-War American needs no advertisement to display his aims and ideals. He has consecrated himself body and soul to the great task of civilization. Every word he speaks and every deed he performs betray the intense earnestness of his purpose. He is zealous for the cause because he lets no distracting influence thwart the one great principle to which he has pledged himself.

The Meaning of the Word "Hun" The significance and meaning of the word "Hun"' seemingly is not understood by many people. The American War Cyclopedia gives the following definition. "Hun." A term of reproach leveled at the Germans by their enemies since the war began. It seems to have been first associated by William II with his army as a term of praise. When he addressed his troops about to sail for China, at Bremerhaven, July 27, 1900, he was reported by the local daily, the Norddeutsche Zeitung on the following day, as saying: "When you come

upon the enemy no quarter will be given. No

prisoners will oe taken As the Huns unaer

their King, Attila, a thousand years ago, made a

name for themselves which is still mighty in tra

dition and story, so may the name of German in China be kept alive through you in such wise that no Chinese will ever again attempt even

to look askance at a German." Ths official re

port of this speech left out some of these words,

tnose least creaitaDie, out did not give a complete text. . Already on July 29, 1900, the Socialist daily, Vorwaerts, denounced this editing

of the Kaiser's real utterance, and declared he had actually, held the Huns up to emulation and

imitation. For many years the German Socialists used the word "Hun" in attacking the militarists, and today the term is frequently

adopted oy tne press oi the countries at war

with Germany.

The Term "Boche" Says the War Cyclopedia:

The term commonly used by the French soldiers to designate the Germans. The origin

of the term as used in this way is disputed

It was used before the war as the equivalent of German. It was so used by the Paris printers to designate their German assistants. It was also probably used in the Franco-Prussian war in 1870, for Zola, in his novel, "LaDebacle," a story dealing with the war, puts the term in the mouth of French soldiers to designate the Germans. The term "ce boche" was used, before the Franco-Prussian war at least, as equivalent to "that chump" and "tete de boche" is given

oy tne rrencn dictionaries or slang as equivalent to "wooden-pate" or "blockhead." It is per

haps for this reason that some French soldiers derive the present use of boche from "caboche",

a French word meaning head.

A Hint from Ludendorff

From The Chicago Tribune.

OME remarks of the chief of the German . general

staff, Gen. Ludendorff, are worthy of attention. In an order of March 30 the great German strategist

and tactician said:

. "The idea of compelling success by the employment of masses of troops must be absolutely eradicated. This merely leads to unnecessary losses. It is the fire effect

which is decisive, and not numbers."

This order appeared after the first phase of the great German drive had closed with a gain of thirty-five miles and of positions within, easy shelling distance of the great

allied base of Amiens. That success had been won, after.

the first blow, withoutX heavy artillery. Infantry in masses had been utilized effectually. Yet we find the victor peremptorily ordering the eradication of these

tactics ana empnasizmg again tne principle or lire su

periority.

German experience in the second phase of the great

battle has not weakened the force of this lesson. We hope it has not been thrown away upon such of our military theorists as have shown a tendency to underestimate

the Importance of the most generous provision of artillery and of an artillery co-operation unprecedented in for

mer wars. Conclusions jumped at after Byng's spectacular advance were pretty promptly discredited and are

still worse off today.

An American woman has solved the problem of how to knit two socks at one time. And now if someone would only solve the problem of how to make one meal take the place of two, most of us wouldn't have 60 much kick to make on the high cost of living. ' And once again has Richmond and

The Kaiser has picked four kings to rule in four small monarchies he has conquered with his mailed fist. Four kings aren't much to beat. How about four aces?

We can never recognize our grandmothers nowadays from the rear.

I see where Great Britain has nipped an Irish plot of the "Made in Hunland" variety. Nipped in the "spud" as it were.

DIN Tt ST OK. IE J" During a hot march in Palestine a sturdy Scotch soldier, six feet in height and proportionately broad, found himself side by side with a bumptious little Englishman, who was five feet nothing. It was a hot day and the Scot was greatly troubled with the midges. They buzzed around him all the time, while the little englishman seemed to be immune. "The midges don't trouble me," said the little man, triumphantly- "I wonder why?" The Scot looked down from his superior height. "I daur say," he replied, "it's because they hav na noticed ye yet!"
