Only meaner reports could be sotten from the university la.-t nii;lit but. it is thought that many of the most valuable hooks and documents in the collection were destroyed and cannot be replaced. If this is true, the damage may amount t several thousands of dollars. i'oach Harper's ottice. the book store, the dining room and the library wer- the principal sufferers from the broken main. The total amount of damage to the various rooms, especially the library, where other valuable books are kept, could not be ascertained last night.

Tiat there is not enough coal in South I'.end to last for more than a week, and that onsenientl v there is a serious possibility of ;i -oal shortage here M.on due to the sere weather comlitioiis which are delaying shipments, was i-ioueht out at a meeting of representatives of .1 number of the leading coal dealers' of the dty with the tratlie conunit-e-if the Chamber of O.immerce Monday evening. It was stated that eoal shipments to this city have been delayed by the bad weather conditions ami that with a continuation of the present demand a coal famine is imminent. It was brought out that sufliciont coal has been ordered and that probably ;i sufficient amount to relieve the situation is on the road if it can only reach here in time. The dealer.- urged the trallic committee to take some action to hasten the shipment of the coal to this city. The trarlie committee took the numbers of the coal cars reported to he on the road and will work with the railroads to hasten the arrival of the coal into the city by

tracing its routing. Ifial factories are also facing something of a shortage of coal but the situation is not mite so serious in this case as it is witn the supply of the dealers.

by a committee from of Commerce Monday board felt the need of of public opinion replan and therefore

urfs all parents to attend the meetinki this evening-. Advocates of the ;dan pointed out that the militaristic side is not emphasized but that the main object is to develop boys physically a nd morally and to instill a wholesome respect for authority. The plan, they declare can be operated in conjunction with the present physical department of the hitfh school. K plain System. laeut. Conrad of Culver Military ncademy was the principal spokesman at the school board meeting and explained the working of the systm in detail. He said that the system had been tried in a score of cities, both large and small, throughout the country and that it had invariably proven both beneficial for the students and popular

with them. He said system was more than tary training system.

system of disciplinary and physical training as well. lie emphasised the point that the merits of the system were proven by the fact that the war department haw endorsed it. had had commissioned ollicers to organize it in the hißh schools of the country, and had appropriated money to aid its organization in the high schools. He explained that the system is voluntary, and that it subjects in no way the boys taking it to a call for military service. Says l"xiciisc is Small. The system could be organized here with little expense, according to laeut. Conrad. The government pledges itself to furnish an instructor for the system if it has one available. The government also furnishes the arms, the ammunition for tarpet practice, and much o the rest of the equipment. South liend, it was pointed out, would he particularly fortunate, if it was decided to establish the system here because of the fact that army ofllcers stationed at Culver could make this city the headquarters for this section of the country. To secure the aid of the government it would be necessary that a company of 100 students be organized and uniformed in the South Hend high school. Taking the course would be left to the opinion of the local students. Those who take the course would, however, be obliged to drill three hours each week. Willing To Investigate. It was the opinion of the two members of the school board present. William Clem and C. I. Drummond. that the board would have no authority to appropriate any money for the organization of the system in the local school. They expressed themselves as willing, however, to further investigate the matter and if some means could be. proposed for paying the expenses of organizing the system here and if it was found that the people of the city were in favor of its organization, they would be glad to introduce it into the high school. It was pointed out by the school board that since the matter was l;rst brought up in South Bend they had received many communications from local people urging them not to Introduce the system into the local school". The board was not certain whether these requests arose out of a misunderstanding of the purpose and nature of the system or not. It was brought out at the meeting that many educators and physical culture instructors have expressed themselves as opposed to military training in the schools. This opposition, 'he petitioning committee urgel, was against the old system of military training, not against the Wyoming system, which has. they said, practically eliminated all the objectionable features vhlch military' training has for high schools. Student. Turn It Down. At the mass meeting of high school students this afternoon only about !"." of the 4 30 students present expressed themselves as favoring the adoption of the system here, according to Principal J. S. McCowan. The students w ere urged to consult their parents upon the matter and a meeting will probably be called today for the purpose of again having them express their opinions on the matter. The members of the committee appearing before the school board Monday night to urge its investigation of the advisability of introducing the system into the local high school were C. C. Hanch. Victor Jones. J. K. Neff and Judge L. M. Hammerschmidt.
