PAVING OF ROAD FROM DUBLIN TO GREENFIELD WILL COME UNDER NEW STATE SPECIFICATIONS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Dec. 28 Specifications designed to make brick and concrete roads constructed by the state more nearly of the game quality and near the same cost, have been agreed upon by Governor Warren T. McCray and the state highway commission. They slightly Increase the cost for concrete roads and slightly decrease that of brick roads, more nearly equalizing the problem of future state

roaxj. balding. Jn, .Indiana. I By permitting competitive bidding between builders "of brick and concrete thorougfares, the commission looks forward to universal reduction in the cost of all road materials. The new specifications, highway officials say. not only strengthens the position of future Hoosier highways, but also adds to the durability of state built roads in proportion to the -Increase, in thickness of the road base as specified. ; ,. . . ' ', The highway, commission has not changed Its position relative to building stone and gravel roads, members eay:'- Governor McCray made it plain at a recent conference with the commission that his attitude as regards the use of native materials for Hoosier roads was the same as announced months ago. He reiterated that these materials

should predominate In future road construction by the state department, and again stated when the state highway system of 4,000 miles as now proposed, is complete, not to exceed 20 of the entire mileage would be of hard surface type. He said that native stone and gravel would be used generally on all roads. Only hard surface is to apply to the principal roads, connecting the 6tates commercial and Industrial centers, and only used within a radius of fifteen to twenty miles of the larger cities. Marks New Era The agreement to change specifications marks a new era in Hoosier road construction. In the past there was virtually no choice but to build main market roads of concrete, due to the fact that old specifications were not lnduclve to competition between brick and concrete interests. Under the new specifications all materials will have fair competition, and it is very likely that some roads to be constructed in 1922 will be of brick, highway officials intimate. The new specifications will be used for construction of 66 miles of pavement

to be laid on the National road to complete that transcontinental highway across Indiana from Terre Haute to Richmond, and which will be expedited early in the new year. Receiving proposals for closing these gaps was contemplated for Dec. 14. but contract letting postponed when it became apparent a change in

specifications was necessary In order to bring about fair competition among

the interests handling road materials.

The change in state road specifications comes as a direct result of the policy of Governor McCray and his determination to give Indiana the best possible road construction at minimum cost. In changing specifications the outstanding policy of the governor and the highway commission was that quality of roads should not be sacrificed. New Previsions. The new specifications provide that concrete must be laid eight inches

thick in the center of the road, and seven inches on the sides. Previous specifications called for uniform thickness of seven inches. The new specifications will make concrete roads slightly more costly and decrease to some extent the cost of brick roads. The commission, in the new spec

ifications, will require brick roads to have a five-Inch base, with one-inch sand-cement cushion and three-inch vertical fiber brick with asphalt filler. By this change the road base is strengthened. Old specifications called for a four-inch base with grout filler of the monolithic type. Lawrence Lyons, department director, estimates that under the new specifications brick roads can bs built approximately $5,000 a mile cheaper. He does not believe the added cost for building concrete roads under the new

specifications will be much greater. Highway officials point out that under the new specifications roads built from now on will be much more durable than heretofore, and that by opening the proposals to competition, prices for actual construction will be lower. Must Be Approved. All state roads must be approved by the federal government before federal aid is given. According to Mr. Lyons the new specifications will meet with the approval of the Unite?) States bureau of roads. J. T. Voshel, of Chicago, district engineer for the federal government, has conferred with the governor and commission members relative to the change.

GIVING OF "MESSIAH" MARKS ACHIEVEMENT IN ORGANIZING TALENT

The largest audience which has attended any of the Civic Music association programs this winter witnessed presentation of Handel's "Messiah" at the Coliseum Tuesday evening by the Festival chorus. Symphony orchestra, and four visiting soloists. The rendition of the oratorio, which

is acclaimed the greatest in the world, marks one of the finest achievements

in the development and organizing of the community's musical talent. The chorus of 200 voices assisted by the orchestra of 60 pieces, presented an ensemble which was obviously the result of weeks of training. The production was directed and conducted by J. E. Maddy. conductor of the Symphony orchestra and leader of the chorus. i The visiting soloists sang their parts with a simplicity and dignity befitting the impressive oratorio. James Haupt displayed a lyric tenor voice full of tonal nuances which was peculiarly fitted t the prophetic lines which the tenor sings in the oratorio. He 6ings his part3 with earnest, artistic feeliDg unmarred by any touch or pose. Rich Contralto A mezzo contralto, rich and vibrant, Is the gift of Many Welch, the rontralto soloist for the evening. Her recitatives were 6ung with dignity and

assurance. Edward La Shelle, of In

dianapolis, the bass soloist, possesses a finely cultivated voice resonant in tone, and wide in range which he com

bines with unusually clear diction and j an artistic and intelligent interpreta-j

tion. juae uraves AtKins gave a refreshing and joyous Interpretation to the 6oprano roles in the "Messiah,"

singing with a voice of pure clear tones and unusual sweetness. The performance of the soloists, orchestra and chorus was artistic throughout and the sincerity and earn

estness w ith which it was given adced '

to the impres6iveness. The famous

"Pastoral Symphony" was played with; levels of group mediocrity," Mr. Miller

fine feeling by the orchestra under the

baton of Conductor Maddy. The "Messiah" will be the last thing which the festival chorus will appear In this year; their next performance being the May festival next spring. The Civic Music association will present the Richmond Symphony orchestra in concert with James Hamilton, tenor, on January 30, the concert to be one of the winter series.

EDUCATOR CONDEMNS UNIFORMITY IN OHIO SCHOOL STANDARDS COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 28 Establishment of uniform standards in schools was condemned in an address here today before the Ohio State Teachers' association by H. L. Miller.

professor of education, and director , of experimental school of the Unl-' versity of Wisconsin. j "A very serious mistake is being made in both schools and colleges in the attempt to establish uniform standards and thus seem to make all pu-, pils alike or to introduce different j

declared

"The startling degree of uniformity and mediocrity attained is evidence of the deadening influence of grades and tests," he continued. "So far, American educators have shown very little regard for cultivating the influences which tend to strengthen original thinking and the formation of independent judgments upon intellectual subjects. Now, with scientific attention paid to individual differences, we may hope for a decided change in opinion in regard to the conventional standardization of thinking which has been such a hindrance to progress. "So long as thought merely copies

an existing pattern, it is not free, no matter how much of it there may be. "Freedom of thougnt, Implies, among other things, that the teacher of anything from the '3 R's' to theology, provokes the originality of his pupil not as a recipient, but as a reacting agent, accepts his as the predominant partner In the work of education, and aims at a result which shall contain a large contribution from the free activity of his mind. "Under genuine freedom, nothing

can be further from the aim of the!

teacher than to impress upon the minds of others a slavish copy of the doctrine taught, even though this should happen to be the doctrine of freedom itself. "The amount of intellectual activity is enormous; but of creativeness,

which is the mark of freedom, there is remarkably little."
