MOVE TO PUT IDLE ACRES IN TIMBER IS FAVORED BY M'CRAY

(Special to The Palladjtnn) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., May ,3.--Gov-einor Warren T. McCray favors a comprehensive forestry policy in order to

put idle acres unfit for agriculture orj

for dairying to work growing timber which future generations will so badly need. .William A; Guthrie, chairman

of the state conservation commission.!

one division of which is devoted to forestry "problems, told a convention of delegates from eight central states meeting iji Chicago. Mr. Guthrie stated that Governor McCray was so impressed with the dire need of . immediate steps for replacing this natural resource, and at the same time for reclaiming waste lands for profit, that he favors the state spending at first $50,000 toward the creation of state forests; providing that the land can be purchased at reasonable prices He said that there are thousands of acres of hill and eroded lands in Indiana, particularly southern Indiana, that still may be purchased at from $5 .to $8 per acre. This land has no agricultural value. It is too rough; broken and scabrous for even dairying. It is essentially land that nature in her great scheme intended solely for growing timber, and now that it has been cleared of its former mighty forests, should by all means be replanted to trees, Mr. Guthrie said. . . , 'Hardwood Decreases. According. to Mr. Guthrie, Indiana, oneo nationally known for its superior quality hardwoods, which grew in abundance in all parts of the state, has today- -only approximately 15,200,000 boarcTfeet of hardwoods (saw tim

ber size) which is distributed in scat-i tering patches over a million and aj

half acres. He declared the- state's- industries are using' 3.150,000 board feet of lumber annually or at the rate of 150 cubic feet per capita exclusive of timber used for fuel. ' Considering the vood used as fuel the annual' per capita consumption is 300 cubic feet. Indiana made a email beginning at reforestation in 1903 when the state purchased Tor $16,000 for a forest reservation, 2,000 acres in Clark county. From time to time small tracts have been-added, until now the state possesses approximately 2,500 acres. Here, the forestry -division-of the conservation department, experiments at growing hardwoods and passes the knowledge .thus ganned on tothe public. There are at this time growing at the reserve 82 varieties of trees and 63 species of shrubs: - It is interesting to note that Wisconsin owns 300,000 acres. Michigan 600,000, Pennsylvania t.04S,696 acres, and

New ' York, 1,767,778 acres devoted to I forestry' production. J

To supplement other agencies In bringing about a more efficient school system, the Indiana Parent-Teacher association, was organized in Oct. 30, 1919. Its purpose 13 ,to, effect co-operation between teachers and parents, thus bringing greater helpfulness and understanding in the training of the child. Besides seeking to restore, and maintain an understanding between the : home and school if also seeks through its various units of organization to meet certain needs of individual-schools for better equipment; Assisting in the activities and furtherance of the association, the extension division of Indiana university, shortly after the organization, opened a r. T. A. bureau. Any man or woman in the school community interested in the welfare of the children Is eligible to membership in the association. Technically they are not required to be parents or teachers. The meetings are held in the school buildings always because it forms a common meeting ground, belongs to the people themselves, and moreover shows wlfxt the schools need in' improvement arid equipment, A broad field of activities 1st covered by the associations in the accomplishment of their primary aim. Each unit has its social entertainments which bring the parents and teachers together. Through this contact the teacher comes to understand the Individual children better and therefore can work more intelligently with them while the parent's have the opportunity to understand what the teacher wishes to accomplish. ..... Aid School Children Some associations provide clothing and books to children in their neighborhood who could not otherwise attend school. Money raised from entertainments an dother sources is used to provide' material and gymnasium equipment for which the board of education may not be able to appropriate funds, such as musical instruments, playground equipment, pictures, trees and shrubs. Indirectly this contact . with ... the school life of their children will educate the -public opinion in regard to necessity of paying higher salaries to teachers and in the importance of promoting child welfare legislation which is entirely non-partisan. The association has as its function the idea of building up and is at no time a destructive agency. It is never to be influenced by politics or factions. It also refrains from forming school policies or interference with school administrations. Assistance and co-operation are its motives. The eight Parent-Teacher associa

tions in this city, all of them as yet I

in tneir infancy, have active memberships which range betwen 30. and 100 members. The schools boasting of as

sociations are: Garfield. ltvld Worth Dennis. Sevastopol, 'Joseph Moor, ltUw herd. Itaxter, Starr ami Plnlny. Th only schools In which th Hanm-latinus have not been started yet aro Vail,

vnuewater ana waruer. These bodies hive co-operated In the establishment of milk luwche for undernourished children and uaststrd otherwise in health work for thu children. They have studied and discussed the subject of school dress, assisted children in their neighborhood, given parties for the children, beautified the school grounds and worked together in the picture contest to get pictures for the school.. Some of them have bought playground equipment and other materials for the school when needed. For the members they have organized vocational classes in dressmaking and other arts. . They hold monthly meetings at which musical programs are given and special speakers secured to talk yi subjects of interest to them. Features of their social life are occasional evening meetings at which scores of the fathers appear when games are played, programs and speeches given and opportunity, af forded for the parents and teachers to get together. The two Junior high school associations have centered their interest chiefly in the support and 100 per cent adoption of the "Next Step" league, as their goal. The league says "School boys and girls are not only living in the present, but are most eagerly looking to the future." To be ready for "the next step" they are asked to sign a certificate which lays down 12 rules of hygiene and study which they are to follow and which their parents undersign as signifying their intention of seeing that they are carried out. These rules advocate at least nine hours of sleep, with all windows up, regular meals, simple food, exercise, reading of good papers, books and periodicals, study at homo 30 minutes a day, wearing of modest, serviceableclothing, and children at home every school night by 8 o'clock.

Thoughts of a Lost Bunch of Keys "I'll bet - my owner is feeling mighty disgusted over losing me. I tried to Jingle and make as much noise, as I could when I fell out of his pocket but it was no use. I doubt if this fellow who found me ever finds out who owns me. "I guess my owner had to get his auto towed to a garage and walk home from the office yesterday. I have the key to the car here. I can imagine the state he's in. "He'd have to ring his own door bell, too. I have air his keys to everything. I used to help him out all the time, opening this and that. He won't be able to get along without me. "Here this man who picked me up is fishing me out of his pocket. He's counting my keys and looking at the different sizes. 'Fourteen keys, he says, "Yefr you're the bunch, all right.' ' What's he mean? "Can you 'imagine that? He's going to return me. My owner advertised for me in the. Palladium's Lost and Found column, and. now. we're going to get together again!" (Copyright 1922)
