STATS SUPERINTENDENGT.

Lawrence McTumen Knows the Needs of Indiana’s Schools. LAWRENCE McTURNAN, of Indianapolis, for State Superintendent \of Public Instruction. Mr. McTumaa had a large following among ths ■cnooi men of the State, who worked for his success. His victory was a signal one, as he won the nomination on the first ballot with two opponents In the field. His vote was 814, 736 being necessary to a choice. Concerning Mr. McTurnan’s success, the Fort Wayne News says editorially: “The nomination of Mr. McTumaa for State Superintendent of Public In* struotlon waa a peculiarly happy one, as he will make a conscientious and thoroughly capable head of school affairs. Not only la Mr. McTuraan fitted for the place by reason of high character and education, but because he has had a ripe experience in the offloe to which he aspires. He has given to his work an Intelligent devotion that has caused him to be recognized as one of the school authorities of the nation and It was a fitting tribute to his qualifications that the leading school men of the State were in attendance at the convention earnestly urging his nomination.” Mr. McTuraan was born thirty-three years ago in the village of Rigdon, Ind. He attended school in the winter and worked on the farm in the summer; he ooncelved an early aspiration which gave force and direction to his school life. He taught hia first school at the age of sixteen. It was a successful school and from that time the young man was inspired to devote his life to public school* work and educate himself for his chosen calling. Thus began an undaunted struggle to complete hiß education entirely through his own efforts. He continued teaching for several winters, attendthe Fairmount Academy, the Marion Normal College, apd the State University in summer vacation, and graduated from the Indiana State Normal In 1897. Since then he has done special work at Butler College. Mr. McTuraan is the outcome of hard work, steady persistence and

self-discipline. He has plodded over and tested every inch of the way from boyhood in a country school to hie present position, Assistant State Superintendent of Public Instruction. He advanced successively from country school teacher to village school teacher, high school teacher, county and city superintendent of schools. Eight years ago he made an enviable record as superintendent of the Madi son county schools. During the five years of his county superintendency, his board views and practical reform* drew the attention of school official! and elicited their highest praise Later he accepted the superintendent of the schools at Alexandria and lntc this work be carried the same vlgoi and wise policy. He believed that teachers could do better work when In olose touch with their superlnten dents; he was unsparing of hlffisell and untiring in his efforts to aid them; he stood In most friendly relations to his teachers. When proffered the position ol Deputy State Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Alexandria School Board offered him & considerable in crease In salary to Induce him to re main there, but the broader scope of the State work, appealed to him and he accepted the place. He has shown remarkable efficiency In perforates the duties of his office.

Mr. McTurnan Is a man of great natural ability. He la a ready and forcible epeaker, an original thinker, and a fluent writer. Hla speeches and magazine articles on educational mat ters have attracted much attention. He not only holds the highest ideals and the most advanced ideas, but alsc has the courage of his convictions. He Is well respected by all school officials who know him and la exceedingly popular among the teachers of the State. It Is of great benefit to the school system to place at the bead of the department a man who Is only qualified but Is, at the same time. In close toucfc with all Its work. It Insures continuity and conservative progress In the work of the offloe. Sin may pay as a one night engagement, bat In the long ra It doeee the theatre. There are always a lot of fallows who would like to see the man at the top flail off.

FROM OVER THE STATE

Sutton Bros.’ circus, which had been playing northern Indiana towns, disbanded. it showed in Lagrange and Syracuse. The novel sight of a load of oats hauled by an automobile was seen at Donavin, recently. The load—sev-enty-five bushels—was v hauled into the elevator and dumped without a mishap. A crime wave is sweeping northern Indiana. From every little town and hamlet comes reports of burglaries, robberies and holdups. People are keeping cash in their homes and place of business instead of banking It. = X =r ■ The Laporte county commissioners have granted the contract for the new county jail, sheriffs residence and stable to the E. Burner company, of South Bend. The contract price was 960,00, that being the lowest bid. From Crawfordsville to Bristol, Vt., via Cleveland, Buffalo and New York city, is the trip on which Mr. and Mrs. Dumont M. Peck, with their son and Mrs. Peck’s mother, Mrs. Lee S. Warner, have just started. They expect to be gone a fortnight *= x = Grief 1b believed to have hastened the death of Mrs. Houghton, of North Manchester, whose daughter, Miss Amy Houghton, became insane and fide to the woods, where she was captured in an apple tree. Mrs. Houghton’s death was due to tuberculosis. The remnants of a corduroy road laid through Mishawaka and South Bend over sevdnty-five years ago were discovered at Mishawaka by workmen who were excavating for a sewer. The road was eight feet below the present street level and the logs Vere in excellent condition. = x The Soo railroad has placed an order with the Wisconsin free employment bureau for 7,000 men. They are wanted as harvest hands in Minnesota and North Dakota, and the wages offered run from 92 to 94 a day with board. Under the order several hundred men have already been placed. Mrs. L. A. Anthony, a Wabash mute, gave a surprise party at her home Monday evening In honor of her birthday. Thirty mutes were present from Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Huntington and Pern. Devotional services were held, the guests ninging religious songs in the sign language.

The Grantham barn near Delphi burned to the ground early Wednesday morning of last week. Five horses perished and two otherß were badly burned. Twenty tons of hay and tiOO bushels of wheat was destroyed. Insurance $2,100. New hay in the mow is supposed to have caused the fire. John W. Kern, democratic candidate for vice president, said the next address he would deliver would be at Charles City, la., Aug. 8, before a Chautauqua gathering. Mr. Kern has accepted the invitation of the Muncie Trades council to make the principal Labor Day. speech. His address will be non-partisan. Many sportsmn along the Kankakee river are interested in what appears to be a general movement looking to a change in the present fish and game law. They assert that a law that will not permit a m»n to hunt on his own land, nor kill game that the fruit of his toil has fed and protected, without first procuring a license, is unjust. The American Thomas automobile in the New York Paris race, which is virtually regarded the winner of the world contest, reached Berlin yesterday after an all-night run. The crew was given a great ovation as the Car swung through the streets, and at the hoted where the Americans stopped for refreshments they were the cynosure of the eyes of thousands. The democratic superior judgeship convention, at Elkhart yesterday, on the fourth ballot nominated Henry Stein, of South Bend, over Francis Jackson, of South Bend, and James Lewis Harman, of Elkhart. The last ballot stood 82 tor Bteis, 17 for Jackson and one for Hannan. On the first ballot Harman got the full vote of Elkhart county, twenty, but gradually lost to Stela. = x =s Horse thieves stole a horse and busty belonging to X. D. Cain, of Prattville, and so far have eluded capture. The following description of the stolen outfit Is given: Pay mare, black mane and tall, seven years old, weight 1,060, both hind feet white, wire cut on left front foot, very small star In forehead, smooth made mare, hitched to rubber tired buggy, wSaig colored gears, gray trimmings, nssrly new, Lull Broe. make, single strap

harness, leather fly net A reward of fifty dollars has been offered for the return of the horse and rig. Roman Catholic priests from all parts of the country are In South Bend for the session bf the Eucharistic league, which opened yesterday. Among the distinguished arrivals are Rt Rev. C. P. Maes, bishop of Covington; Mgr. Baker, vicar general of Buffalo; Mgr. Lavelle,. rector of St Patrick’s Cathedral, New York city, and Mgr. Lammel. President John Cavanaugh of Notre Dune University delivered the opening address. Because he is fond of tobacco, and prisoners in the Michigan City penitentiary are allowed to use the weed, whereas those in Jeffersonville Reformatory are not, James Connett, who does not appear to be over twen-ty-two years old, asserted that he was thirty-one. He has been taken to the Michigan City institution. He was convicted of robbing the A. J. Wilson grocery, and did not deny the charge. In appearance he is a mere boy and he should be, by reason of his age, In the Reformatory, but his persistence in saying that he was thirty-one yhars old and his willingness to make oath to this, caused him,to be sent to the prison north.
