' MEMBER OF" THH ASSOCIATE II pitEl I The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the o for republication of ell new dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein. All rights of republication of spe- , clal dispatches herein are also reserved. i German in the Grade Schools Sentiment in Indiana is averse to the introduction of German in the grade schools and the employment of that medium in some schools for the instruction of the youth. Teaching of that language as an elective in the high schools, colleges !and universities -Will meet -with no opposition. , - ' - ' r.v.;,' , , Efforts to amend the state law to provide for the use of the German language in grades below the high school is sought in a measure pending in the general assembly. No cogent argument can be advanced for the amendment of the law. I Immigration of Germans to this country has been at a standstill, which eliminates the presence of German children who cannot understand instruction in the English language. If there are . such children their parents should be glad that
they havean opportunity to learn the English language and perfe'ct themselves in that tongue,
which is , universally used in this country. In
struction! in the English language for children attending a parochial school, where religion is taught, is just as imperative as is the teaching of secular branches in that language. Far seeing churchmen realize that it Is only a question of a few years until English will be used exclusively in their church organization, for no foreign language can long survive an environment where English is the dominating tongue, if the children are not taught religion in the vernacular of the country in which they reside, they are unable to express their religious views and sentiments correctly and adequately. The German language will be barred from the elementary schools. It has no place there. As an elective in the high schools and institutions of higher learning, it is available for those who wish to study its literature and( td use it for scientific and commercial purposes.
point to a successful operation of the system in oher states.: - Timothy Nicholson, who opposed the change when Gov. Ralston tried to put it into effect in Indiana, is again sounding a warning against the contemplated move. The press of Indiana generally fought the measure then and it is not complacently permitting the present movement to get under way without a vigorous protest. ;
Centralized Board of Control , The effort to place the 19 benevolent and correctional institutions of Indiana under the control of a centralized board of four men, appointed by the governor, should be squelched before it gets fairly under way. The movement is nothing more or less but an effort to put the institutions completely under political control. There is centralized buying of the supplies needed for the institutions. This is a wise arrangement, and one that has proved economical to the taxpayers. Centralization of buying power meets with approval, but centralization of control shoulduneet with immediate opposition. The needs and requirements of the institutions of the state are not identical. What may be an excellent policy for one institution may inflict irksome conditions on another. Standardization of the policies of the various institutions can never be accomplished. - The present boards have presided over the institutions successfully. Their management is not open to attack or abuse. The creation of a centralized board of control gives no promise of better administration, neither can its advocates
Woman Speaker on Farmers' Short Course The important position which the wives and daughters of our farmers occupy in the agricultural industry will not be overlooked at the institute which is to be held here next month. Mrs. Charles W. Sewell, of Otterbein, assistant state home demonstration leader in Indiana in 1917 and 1918, has consented to deliver a lecture on the evening of Feb. 7, and other lectures pertaining to the work 6f the women and girls who live on farms wiH be given on Feb. 7 and Feb. 8. Time was, and not so long ago, that the farmer's wife received scant attention in our consideration of the welfare of the rural dwellers. We seldom thought of her long hours of labor, the few conveniences which she had, and the absence of many social features. The genius of the inventor developed one labor saving device after another for the housewife who resided in the city. Architects planned houses , to save steps for the mother who presided over the city home. But neither paid much attention to the mother and -sister on the farm, who lacked running water, gas and electric light, and the scores of appliances, closely associated with these utilities and designed to lighten labor. A noticeable change has take place recently. Purdue university last year ran a special train through certain sections of Indiana for the sole purpose of demonstrating the many labor saving devices that have been invented and which can now be installed on the farm to save time, worry and labor for the farmer's wife. The coming of the telephone and its installation in thousands of rural homes in Indiana helped solve the social problem for the farmer's wife and daughter. No longer were they isolated from their neighbors and confined to their own homes. The telephone brought their neighbors into their homes. Conversation could be carried on with friends miles away. Equally important was the coming of the automobile. Whereas formerly it meant delay and hours of travel to reach the city, the farmer's wife is able to reach the market, the city and the social gathering in a few minutes by using the automobile, which has come to be one of the essential and indispensable vehicles of the farm. And with the introduction of these facilities the farmer's wife and daughter have obtained an opportunity to take part in the social and cultural life of the community, from-which they were separated by an almost insurmountable obstacle. Today the women who live on the farm are able to take part in the social life of the community and in the educational and recreational features which are provided. All of us are glad to see these changes and to know that a prominent part of the institute to be conducted here will be devoted to matters in which the wives and daughters are directly inter-
ested. A glance at the program snows tne ioilowing topics, all of them of paramount interest: Demonstrations in canning meats; hot box lunches; health talk; music, and other lectures. We hope that a large number of women from the rural communities of Wayne county will attend the institute not only for the educational features but also for the social spirit that will prevail.
! Answers to Questions I ; ; - b T. D. What are the dorian and mangos teen? The durian and the mangosteen are two delicious, rare fruits of the Philippine Islands. These fruits are almost unknown In the rest of the world. The remarkable qualities of the durian were descanted upon by Alfred Russel Wallace, the English naturalist and traveler, during his explorations In the Malay Archipelago. The durian grows on a lofty tree somewhat resembling an elm. Is about as large as a cocoanut, has a shiny shell, and contains a creamy pulp which combines some of the flavors of a delicious custard with those of a fine cheese. Americans in the Philippines call the durian "the vegetable Limburger cheese." To eat durians, they say, is a new sensation worth a voyage there to experience. The mangosteen is said to be the only fruit that the governor general of the Islands has never tasted. The exquisitely flavored liquid It contains cannot
be preserved for shipping abroad. Reader Where can I obtain information about the granting of Canadian homesteads? Address the department of the interior, Ottawa, Canada.

Who's Who in the Day's News
The career of John Hays Hammond is proof of the observation made that men drawing $50,000 a year salaries and afore earned the right to them, and are now really earning them. ,
One of the highest paid professions in the world is that of expert mining engineer, who is paid for services on the basis of the results "o b t a 1 n ed through his advice and counsel. Hammond, whose salary and fees from a well-known firm of copper
-, d.-j miners is said to J. U. Hammond have been $1000(. 000 a year, is typical of the men whose function is to separate Mother Earth from her treasure trove. He is a born explorer, a delver into the mysteries of. the world, and has in no way been hampered by a varied technical education. After a boyhood spent in San Francisco, young Hammond entered the Sheffield Scientific School of Mines at Freiberg, for that was in the days when everybody - believed that education had to be made in Germany. The first man he tackled for a job was the late Senator George Hearst, a noted gold mine owner. : "If you promise not to tell my father," rejoined the applicant, "I wiU tell you something." "All right,' 'assented the senator. "I didn't learn a single thing in Germany." So it was that at 7 o'clock the next morning the youthful engineer went to work and kept working 12 hours a day for a long time. On his advice his employer invested millions of dollars. Hammond, in order to further prepare himself for his calling, joined the United States Geological Survey as an examiner of gold mines and also took practical training as an ordinary workman, and also as a foreman.

HOW DOES IT GO, ANYHOW? Since the air and weather is so brisk and snappy. I think you might lift the bars on "The Little Fly." You clamped them down in the gay and festive tummertime because of the flock of contributions.

VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE
By to. HUWt A fisher or hunter often is, tf course, a liar; but there Is not much to lie about. A few more fish or a few more rabbits than the truth; there is not a great deal of interest in any such experience. But war: there is a subject to be interesting about. There is a background for any scenery the man of genius cares to suggest. I don't suppose there ever was a man who told the truth about a battle. When a theatrical man brings out a play, you expect him to lie about the cost of the production; likewise we expect a man who has been in a battle to make It is horrible and interesting as possible.
The people who are forever asking too much; failing to get it, they often go to war, and destroy what they have.
Tempests, earthquakes, are a part of nature, and we may at least guard against them to some extent; and they have not been so numerous that the world's population does not Increase rapidly. Epidemics, wars, are preventable; our efforts will help, if directed simply and naturally.

The people never respond so easily and promptly to the propaganda of leaders as they do when there is a patriotic issue, and leaders are always bringing it up. The dullest man loves to be told that his great heart throbs for the oppressed everywhere; it causes him to glow as nothing else does. He is keen to bring liberty to the world. There is a thrill in patriotism found in chivalry, music, 'gallantry, bravery, devotion, etc., and men are easily influenced with this theme.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams. Author of "You Can", "Take It" THE SHUT-INS ' .
"Up"
I would like to think that a special concert was given each day, by a selected group of the finer spirits of Heaven, for the benefit of those who are deprived of the freedom of the great out-of-doors. I often think of the Shut-ins those who suffer so patiently in body, and sometimes in mind, but in whose soul a regular sun, rising and setting, is always to be experienced. - We who are able to climb the hills and foot whole acres of beauty In the fact of a constant pelting of musical language from the heart of Nature, too often forget the loss of the Shut-ins. But each loss has its own compensation. There are lights to reach and touch the innermost darkness. Even the blind man sees or else he wouldn't understand so well! To be shut in from the outer noise and turmoil of life Is to get , just a little nearer to God's heart, and "to feel its solemn pulses sendlng blood throughout the widespread veins of endless good." The great career of Wendell Phillips was inspired by a helpless Shut-in. President McKinley rose to his highest conceptions of national leadership as his tenderness reverted to her who waited behind the glamor of popular acclaim. , A great amount of the beauty of the world, in character, lies bravely on hospital cots and In quiet rooms, rarely scented by "the lilies of the field" or thrilled by the thrush's song. But in faith and loveliness may the Shut-ins always growl
half the current news relates to deeds of shame, and as I don my overshoes a shudder shakes my frame. No more I see the "Household Hints" I used to think sublime; where once they stood my paper prints a narrative of crime, of how some dame arrayed in chintz, was butchered for a dime. The "Gems of Thought" are crowded out, and In their place I find the story of some maddened scout with base and evil mind, who robbed a widow of her kraut, and left no card behind. "The Poets Corner" once appeared where he who ran might read, but now that space has stories weird of gents who die and bleed, of how some ruffian with a beard performed a hold-up deed. And Kaiser Bill, who caused ir all, is sawing elm and oak; behind a humble Holland wall' the burghers watch his smoke; some say his bank account is tall, and others say he's broke. . ,
Dinner Stories
Teacher1 Where did the Pilgrims land? Johnny I don't know whether it was on a Plymouth Rock or a Rhode Island Red. In the departed days a some-befuddled guest appeared unsteadily before the desk of a smart hotel and demanded In thfok but firm tones" that his
room be changed. "I'm sorry," the clerk humored him. "But all the rooms are taken." "Mush have 'nother room," insisted the guest.
"What's the matter with the room
you have now?" "Well, if you mush know," explained the dissatisfied tenant, "ish on fire."
A visiting clergyman was conducting
an experience meeting at a colored church in the south, and a woman
arose and bore witness to the preciousness of her religion as a light bringer
and a comfort giver. "That's good, sister." said the minister. "But how about the practical side? Does your religion make you strive to prepare your husband a good dinner? Doe3 ft make you look after hhu in every way. As he paused he felt a yank at his coat-tails and heard the colored deacon whisper ardently: "Press dem questions. Dat's my wife." Statistics show that only 5,600,000 persons paid income taxes this year. Which proves exclusively that an overwhelming majority of our 1 10,000,000 citizens are happy, contended and have comparatively nothing to worry about. Life.

SOUTH CHINA HEAD GIVES PEACE TERMS
(By Associated Press) PEKING, Jan? 26. The Peking government hat received a note from Dr. Sun Yatrsen. head of the newly organised "extraordinary" government of South China at Canton, making three demands which he says the Peking government must meet before the Canton group will entertain the proposition for reunification of the country The demands are for dismissal fram the Peking administration of all militarists, including Premier Chin Yunpeng. who is also minister of war; cancellation of the mandate recently issued by the Peking government announcing the union of the two factions in North and South China, and a pledge not to negotiate any further foreign loans. The government, according to a high authority, considers the demands impossible and an evidence of a lack of desire on the part of the southerners to encourage peace efforts.
