: - c Education Week
The necessity of educating the youth has al
ways been accepted as one of the best ways to
guarantee the perpetuity of the republic - Our
educational system has accomplished great re
sults, but there are still many points in which it i is weak and halting. To acquaint the public with ' the aims of the system, John J. Tigert, United States commissioner of education, has desigi nated the week of December 3-9 as "Education Week." It will be observed throughout the country not only in the schools, but also by the American Legion, clubs, churches,. theatre and various civic bodies. In order that the important phases of education might be stressed, certain days, as follow, have been set aside for special topics :
December 3, ."God and Country;" December
4, "American Citizenship;" December 5, "Patri otism;" December 6, "School and Teacher;" De
cember 7, "Illiteracy;" December 8, "Equality of
Opportunity ;" December 9, "Physical Education vrr
and Hygiene;" This program will riot be followed slavishly,
but will serve as an outline. In Indiana it is
highly probable that the report of the investigating committee, which has made a thorough
study of our system, will give us abundant material for local consideration.
For instance, only 25 per cent of the elemen
tary teachers of Indiana out of 13,051 are satis
factorily trained when judged byv a standard requiring a diploma from a high school and two
years of ( training especially related to teaching in the elementary grades. The greater number
of poorly prepared teachers was found in the rural schools. The report sajj the standard of rural schools will not be raised by consolidation
and the institution of proper supervision if the standard of-teachers who are to function in the
schools is not a high one. - .
The American Legion is emphasizing the
value of parents visiting the schools during this
week. The Legion believes if parents will visit
the schools to become acquainted with the needs of the pupils and of the schools, they will go
home with a keener desire for a true Americanization of our population.
A co-operative spirit between parent and
teacher will redound to the welfare of the child
and will help work out the problems confronting
the educator. And this interest, instead of being
a sporadic one manifesting itself only once a year, should be a constant one, so long as the
pupil is in the school.
When a Feller Needs a Friend
EATING ALONE IS UNHAPPY EVENT By George Matthew Adams
I always speculate on the sight of a man or -woman eating alone. Whenever I go lnjto a public eating place, my eyes drop to such a one. I often eat alone and it is always the saddest and most unhappy hour of the day. There are many forms of religious service that are particularly Impressive. I refer to but one the Lord's Supper. . My father, being a minister, I was early schooled In the forms of the church. And altho I now look upon many as being far from the simple teachings of Christ, Himself, I am particularly fond'of this form of remembrance. Being among the loneliest of men, I cannot help' but feel that Jesus : was most happy when He sat down with His disciples to eat. To me, the sad thing about Thanksgiving isthat so many are compelled to eat alone. I think it most beautiful for every family or per-' eon, when it is possible, to see that someone else, who might have had to : eat alone on this happiest of days, is invited in as a guest. I can drink in the -real spirit of Charles Lamb and his roast beef writings when I imagine him surrounded by those of his kind, in brilliant wit and mixing of words In thought.', . If you are a business man, don't leave your troubles and worries outside, as you would the mud from your shoes. Go to your table to be nourished with living food food that builds far more than the body. Find In that hour the choicest gathering of your day. Don't eat alone if you can help itl

Under a new rulin of the BarlTwtni
college faculty students were allowed
eight cuts a term to provide for minor cases of illness. If a student took, more than eight cuts, the excess of cuts was abstracted from the allow-1 ance of eight cuts of the next term. It at any time a student had more thant
16 cuts against him. he forfeited one
hour of college credits. It might be added that in the college vernacular a-
cat was an unwarranted absence from the class room.

Interest in Rifle Shooting Grows More Than 200,000 Persons Are Enrolled in the National Rifle Association in United States.

Rippling Rhymes By Walt Mason
Br FREDERICK J. HASKIN 1 WASHINGTON. D. .C. Nov. 27.
The opening of the winter program of
gallery rifle matches reveals that more
people than ever are interested in
marksmanship. It is estimated that about 1,000,000 rifles are in use in this
country, and more than 200,000 per
sons are enrolled with the National
Rifle Association. . .
Rifle shooting has been . promoted
by the association ever since 1871 as a preparedness measure, and now the War department is working through a board, in do-operation with the asso
elation, to stimulate interest in tar
get practice. National matches fired on one large range and gallery and
outdoor, small bore matches fired on
competitor's home ranges are held
each year. Cups, medals, and other trophies are awarded.
But, according to the rifle board, the
government is not advocating rifle shooting entirely in the interests of national defense. Whether a man ever shoulders a gun in the army or militia, the exercise and personal development of target shooting are worth-while, and the board wants to see rifle shooting even more of a popular sport than it has grown to be. -
Because rifle shooting does not at
tract large public audiences knowledge
of the sport (is confined chiefly to
marksmen. Unlike football, it has
few fans who merely sit on the sidelines and yell. An audience at a
match is made up mainly of marksmen with a sprinkling of casually in
terested friends. When one of the on
lookers becomes a fan he gets a gun.
This is a healthy condition. It is
an ideal of sport to have a large per
centage of the people interested en

in which almost no casualties occur. As
one marksman puts it, "Compared to football, rifle shooting is a ladles game." And, as a matter of fact, it
is becoming that. Any number ot
schools have girls' rifle teams, and the
girls are proving to be good shots. Last year a Washington high school girls' team won the Astor cup match
which carries the high, school championship for the country. High schools and many colleges have come to regard shooting as a standard sport for the which the school letter is to be regularly award ed. The Naval Academy, the University of Pennsylvania, Yale, and Princeton are aiiong the colleges at which rifle shootlngg is rated with other sports. , Police departments In some cities have formed rifle- teams, and ex-soldiers and sportsmen all over the country are organized in more than 1,000 clubs of the National Rifle association. Rifle shooting is known as a poor man's game an entire afternoon's practice would cost about 75 cents and because of this large numbers of working men are enrolled in the clubs. It also appeals to scientists and technical workers who are attracted by the problems of marksmanship. One big advantage of shooting as a popular sport is that anyone can shoot according to an official of the rifle board. A husky athlete may not be so good a marksman as a man of slight, wiry build. A person wearing eyeglasses may be a first class shot True eyeslgft rather than unusually keen sight Is needed. "Shooting makes for physical fit
ness," says this official. "There are no strenuous contortions attached to it, but the kneeling, rising, and stooping constitute a kind of exercise that most people need. Indirectly, too, the marksman is apt to be benefitted physically. The beginner soon learns that he can shoot straighter when he feels well than when he is run down. Enough sleep, some exercise, nouishing food makes for steadiness. The rifleman rarely goes in for rigorous
graining, but he finds his shooting rec-
