WHY ARE INDIANA SCHOOLS LAGGING? QUESTION ANSWERED Announcement by the department of education of the Russell Sage Foundation that in the efficiency of its public schools Indiana ranks 17th among the states, has caused considerable discussion among educators concerning the factors which place the state below many others. While educational leaders were gratified by the excellent standing of the state, the sentiment was expressed that immediate steps ought to be taken to rectify conditions which have kept Indiana from the top in the educational world.

A study of school legislation and policies of Montana. California, Arizona and New Jersey, the four leading states, according to the report of the foundation, reveals many reasons for their advanced standing, educators declare. Several reasons are assigned for Indiana's failure to obtain first rank in educational advancement. Indiana ha3 not kept pace with Increased salaries for teachers, although recent agitation resulted in some improvement of conditions. Selection of important education officials, including the state superintendent of public instruction and the 92 county school superintendents, has been left in politics. New Jersey has a law which provides for the appointment of the county superintendents by the state commissioner of education. The superintendents are selected from any part of the United States, and receive a salary of $3,000 a year. A bill is pending before the Legislature to increase the salary to $4,000 a year. Indiana county superintendents are elected by township trustees, usually for political reasons. Indiana has no state supervisor of rural education, and no special attention has been given to rural school problems beyond a rural school campaign inaugurated during the present school year. There is only one state high school inspector in Indiana to supervise and have made provision for three or more such experts Physical Training Lags. Compulsory physical education is a feature of the course of study in many of the leading educational states of the country. Physical training work has been carried on only in a limited way In Indiana. puls'ory medical Inspection of children has been neglected fa Com school Indiana. In the leading educational states the legal minimum term for the rural Fchools is eight months. The Indiana legal school term is six months. Eldorado, 0. KLDORADO, O.

Any breaking out of the skin, even fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly overcome by applying Mentho-Sul-phur, declares a noted skin specialist. Because of its germ destroying properties, this sulphur preparation instantly brings ease from skin irritation, soothes and heals the eczema right up and leaves the skin clear and smooth. It seldom fails to relieve the torment without delay. Sufferers from skin trouble should obtain a small jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like cold cream. V F. Warner" . r Js

"HOME TOWN" WILL BACK MARSHALL FOR PRESIDENCY FORT WAYNE, Ind., May 25. An active boom for the nomination of Vice President Thomaa R. Marshall for the presidency has been started in Columbia City, Marshall's home town. Eph K. Strong, a Columbia City lawyer and intimate friend of Mar

WASHINGTON Yesterday's presentation of Mack Sennett's five reel super-production ' Down on the Farm' revealed to big audiences at the Washington Theatre the fact that it Is still possible to produce something new in pictures. The claim made by United Artists in the preliminary announcements of "Down on the Farm" that in it would be found something "different" has been vindicated in a presentment unusual in many ways and unique in treatment. The novelty of "Down on the Farm" rises from a blend of various elements each of them individually popular and appealing but never before mingled in the same picture play. It remained for Mack Sennett to bring satire to bear1 on melodrama and yet preserve for melodrama its distinctive features of tnrill, suspense and authentic comedy. He "kids" melodrama and at the same time presents it for i its face value. Everybody is pleased. . - Really Removes Roots of Superfluous Hair (Phelactine, the New Wonderworker) Without doubt the greatest thing yet discovered for hair-disfigured . womankind is the wonderful phelacj tine method. It has none of the dis- ! advantages of electrolysis or depila- ? '. tories and, best of all, it removes the hairs entire, roots and all. It does this instantly, leaving the skin so smooth and soft that no one can tell the user was ever the possessor of a moustache or other hairy growth. Phelactine is non-odorous, non-Irritating, and so harmless a child could eat It without any ill-effect. A stick of this remarkable substance, accom-j panied by simple instructions, can be i obtained at any drugstore. What ! woman would not be delighted after seeing those ugly hairs come out including the roots with her own eyes? Advertisement.

The production might be termed1 mathematically a thrill divided by laughter minus anything unwholesome and plus engaging travesty. It would seem that Mr. Sennett has overlooked nothing in "Down on the Farm" but has provided it with everyelement of appeal enough ingenuity, in fact, has been brought to bear on this work to outfit a half dozen big comedy successes. MURRAY VAUDEVILLE The novel sight of dolls and a dummy walking about the stage is one of the features of the act of Coleman and Ray, who are on the bill now playing at The Murray.

This destroys it entirely. To do this, just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring, use enough to moisten the scalp and i run it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy evry single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all itching j ana digging or the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arven at any drug store. It is inexpensive, and fo-.ir ounces is all you will need. This simple remedy has never been known to fail. Advertisement. Theatre Beautiful
