THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., TUESDAY, JAN. 25, 1921.
LOCAL CLUBS HEAR STATE SCHOOL HEAD; WILL AID EDUCATION
The Life of a Man Named Harding
Klwanians and Ro tartans unanimously Jointly endorsed a resolution "recommending to our state senators and T representatives that they approach the matter; of proper support of our three institutions. of higher education in a spirit of fairness, and that they appropriate funds which will provide for their maintenance on a par with like institutions of neighboring states," at a meeting of the. two clubs in the K. of P. temple Tuesday noon. Copies of the resolution were ordered
sent to members of the Indiana legis
lature. The resolution was presented by Fred H. Lemon following an address by William Lowe Bryan, president of Indiana university.
Emphasizing the great increase in
the number of students attending institutions of higher education and comparing the funds available for car
rying on the program with that of
other states, President Bryan made
an eloquent plea in behalf of Indiana state schools. - (Students Increase "There are 10 times' as many stu
dents in Indiana university at the present time as there were 30 years
ago," he declared. "We have had an increase in a single year as great as the total enrollment at that date. The
colleges of the 19th century gave a
good training in Latin, Greek and
other basic studies, and their" training
was -of the best. But now the col
leges and universities are teaching
very science of the earth, of the heavens, and of the waters below. Business men of the country have found out that they must have the scholar." At this point President Bryan went into a brief discussion of the excellent training given by Germany to her students "before the war.' "German science and .consular service was as highly trained as her armies. There never was a people where the commercial, industrial and military forces were so welded together. I am one who 'believes that if Germany had stayed'out of the war she would have had commercial control of the world in 25 or SO years." Points to Progress Re used the training of Germany as an example of the great progress by a country with highly educated peoples. . . '.; Several times President Bryan cited statements recently made by Governor McCray in regard to school 'training. "Forty-four percent of the people of Indiana were against public schools, in 1848; and in 1860 and 1870 speakers covered the state making addresses against high schools. Our school system has had a hard fight. "In 1913 we stood 43rd in rank of all of the 6tates in the Union, for efficiency in our state schools. We were 27th In 1916. It is utterly impossible to get the best men for our schools and keep them unless you can pay them. We can have any education you want, or none at all. If other states go far ahead, Indiana can . not lead, but must follow in the rear. "Before I close my eyes in death I want to see Indiana take a high and noble place in the lead of American states. In higher education." C. B. Root, local representative of the Community Service, made a talk about his work "with local citizens" for the advancement of Richmond's interest. A vote was taken by the members signifying their intention of co-operating in the work.
SYMPHONY CONCERTS OPEN NEXT MONDAY
Tickets continue to be sold and reservations made for the six concerts of the season which the Richmond Symphony orchestra will give beginning Monday evening when Mine. Marie Sidenius Zendt, soprano of Chicago, appears as concert soloist. Season tickets are still on sale and may be obtained at Weisbrod's Music store. The price of a season ticket is $2.50. Single admissions will be $1. The grade school children are being organized for the cantata and tableau which they will present at one of the afternoon concerts in May. A chorus of between 500 and 600 voices will be organized and trained for this one concert as well as a grammar school orchestra of 100 pieces. Adding unusual interest to this particular performance is the fact that the orchestration of the entire 1,000 pages of music in the cantata, Fearis's "The Awakening of Spring," will be orchestrated by J. E. Maddy, conductor of the Symphony orchestra.
ELECTORAL DELIVERY DATE MISUNDERSTOOD
A misunderstanding regarding the date pn which the vote of the Indiana presidential electors was to be delivered in Washington, is responsible for the failure of John B. Lyons, of Brook, official messenger, to record the vote there Monday. Owing to his advanced age, he had asked the Indiana electors to have two of their members accompany him to Washington. Lee B. Nusbaum. .of this jlty, and John Barbazette, of Terre Haute, were selected as unofficial companions of Mr. Lyons. The misunderstanding, it is believedis due to the list of instructions which a member of the state board of elections 'prepared, in which a date in February was designated. The Indiana ' returns have been mailed to Washington. Other states whose electoral messengers failed to arrive yesterday are Maryland, Nevada,: North Carolina, Oregon and Utah. Congress will hold a Joint session 6n Feb-. 9 to count the votes for president and vice president. 'ul SIGN FRED MERKLE : ' (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 25.

IMMIGRATION EXPERT FAVORS RESTRICTION
SENATE !N CONFUSION OVER INTERPRETATION ON POSTPONEMENT INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 25. The senate was In confusion duing the morning over an interpretation of that body's rules as to the effect of Indefinite postponement of a bill. Lieut.Gov. Branches ruling that an indefinitely postponed bill could not be reconsidered was finally sustained after Senator Nejdl had appealed from the ruling. The conflict was brought on by a motion of Senator Holmes to reconsider a motion to accept a commission report recommending indefinite postponement of Senator English's bill increasing supreme and appellate court salaries from $6,000 to $7,000 a year. English Introduces After the decision of the lieutenant
governor had been sustained by a ri-
WASHINGTON. Jan. 25. Anthony Caminetti, commissioner general of immigration, who has just returned
from a tour of Europe, told the sen- ing vote, 22 to 14, Senator English re
ate immigration committee today that introduced the bill, the United States should co-operate Representative Nelson, the lady with foreign governments to prevent j from Delaware county, took a hand in the departure for this country of ; the morning's wrangle in the house on aliens who could not qualify for ad- the Johnston bill for the purpose of
mission. Mr. Caminteei discussed at length conditions in Europe and will complete his testimony tomorrow. The committee then plans to close hearings and begin consideration of the house bill which practically would bar immigration for one year.
WOMAN'S CLUB HEARS SECOND PROGRAM BY STUDENTS TUESDAY The second student program of the season given before the music department . of the Woman's club drew a large audience to the Public Art gallery Tuesday morning. The pupils all gave excellent exhibitions of technique and showed no small amount of ability. .. . 1 Two young girls, Luella Masters and Marianne . Swaynie, opened the program with a piano duet, "Gavotte in F Maor," by Beethoven, which won for them much applause. The tiniest and most winsome person on the program was Miss Virginia Orr, who recited "Rock-a-Bye" and then played it on the piano.
"Souvenir," by Drdla. was played by I Helen Addleman, violinist, with Alice Smith accompanying her. The violin-j ist's tone3 were very fme, and she j played with facility. Lucile Loufbourrow's rendition of Godard's "Au Ma-!
tin" was finished, and the musician shows much promise. "Second Valse Brillante," also by Goddard, was well played by Ruth Kettring. Among the most pleasing numbers were two vocal solos by Rhea Crandall, "A Cradle Song," MacFayden, and "My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose." She has a voice of exceptional sweetness which was particularly well adapted to the songs she sang. Difficult Selections. Probably the most difficult and one of the best selections on the program was the playing of "Reverie," Dunkler, by a string quartette composed of three violins and a 'cello. The performance was one that would have done credit to older and more experienced musicians. The quartette was composed of Charlotte Colvin, Alice Smith, Helen Addleman and Helen Roland. Following the quartette's number, Mary Frances Churchill played "The Joy of Autumn" by MacDowell, and was given several hearty rounds of applause. Mrs. Minneman, who has a very clear soprano voice, then sang "A Birthday." by Woodman, in a most pleasing way. Her second number "By the Waters of Minnetonka," an Indian 6ong, was very delightful. A violin obligato to the last number was played by Charlotte Colvin. Geraldine Harter was the accompanist.
