IT.ack. head of the department of education of Indiana. University In an addrw at the noon luncheon of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, Wednesday. Professor Black asserted that the. present town ship unit is wasteful, and that it does not provide efficient education methods. The township trurtee system sharply attacked by Proftifor Black, who asserted -that expecting a minister to be a good banker would be as reasonable as to expect a trustee directed under the present system to mako a good supervisor of

The power will be marie available, it is expected, in quantity and in form available for industrial purposes, through the raising: of the dam at the head of the falls another fix or nine. feet.

The aloon cannot be restored and blind pigy, rum runners and bootlepqers will automatically be wiped out when for home use alcoholic beverages may legally be obtained. This amendment also will nullify the efforts to destroy the time-honored theory that a man's home is his cawtle and will put a frtop to the searching of private homes under any and all sorts of excuses.

The matter was considered some time aso bv the Jefferson vi lie Chamber of Commerce, .which decided to cooperate with the city of Louisville In its effort to pain municipal control of the natural yource of power. The electric company takes the view that on account of tha variation In tho volume and stage of the river It is inevitable that for two to four months in the year and sometimes longer the power will riot bo available, and that in consequence the power project must be developed ns an auxiliary to a plant using- coal for Its source of power. It is said that at present priced of coal power may be developed at a saving.

Almost any pleasant morning, these last five weeks, a smooth-shaven, boyish-looking American could have been seen walking bareheaded from the Hotel Beaurivage in Lausanne along the lakeside to another hotel, to join a company of top-hatted, frockcoated, dignified European diplomats. ' If Richard Washburn Child was only an "unofficial observer" at the Lausanne Conference it would be difficult to deny that he was the "observed of all observers." An "unofficial observer" on such occasions as these is generally supposed to be seen and not heard, but Ambassador Child has been heard and listened to attentively at Lausanne. Europe heard this representative of a nation officially committed to noninterference in European affairs arise day after day to state definitely, and forcefully the policy of the United States on points of controversy between the Western Powers and the new Turkey which has replaced the "Sick Man of Europe." Press correspondents at Lausanne have called attention to the leading part played in the deliberations by our observers. What does this mean, our editors have been wondering, as they read the dispatches from the Swiss city. Are we really intervening? "Isn't Mr. Child wading into the Lausanne Conference rather more deeply than is permitted to a mere observer?' queries the Dallas Nczcs (Dem.). The United States, remarks the Utica Press find.), "would appear to be in a position of playing an important if not a decisive röle." Others wonder what will come next. The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST this week (Dec. 23) takes up the story of American participation at Lausanne as sketched from day to day by correspondents and interpreted by contemporaneous editorial comment.
