HIGHER EDUCATION. The demand made by Purdue, Indtana University and the State Normal for largely increased appropriations for the coming year is worthy careful investigation. Like a great many other questions this matter of higher education on the part of the state lias become so deeply Intrenched that to oppose its most extravagant demand is at once branded as anarchistic and the attitude of the benighted. Many who are able to think clearly on this point are kept from public expression because of this dread of criticism aimed at them by the over-zealous for state institutions. As a matter of fact the education now provided by the state in the higher educational institutions is divided into two classes. The first class is that in which the education given to an individual results in good to many who are not directly reached by the school. Thus education in agriculture is far-reaching. A single graduate of the department of agriculture returning to his home community raises the farming standards of that community and benefits the whole tax-paying body. The same is

has been given to the vote of this county. It was very likely to go wet, and only the over-enthusiasm resulting from numerous victories in dry counties led the temperance forces to overestimate the strength of the drys in that county. It is probable that other counties will go wet. and we ought not to be surprised if that be the case. This Is a matter of local option and all communities do not think alike. The large cities are very apt to continue to be wet territory. It was not expected at the time the law was being agitated before its passage that all counties would go dry. It is unfortunate that so much attention should he given to Wayne County, because it gives it undue prominence, and makes the wet vote more confident in other counties. The most important feature of the vote in Wayne is the fact that it will bring to a test the relation of the county option law to the Moore law. If, as many people now contend, the Moore law has been repealed, it will open up much dry territory to the wet men. This was one of the vexed questions of the campaign and is now in a fair way to be setled.

SUNDAY BASEBALL. The Sunday baseball measure as advocated before the state legislature is fast assuming the proportions of a conflict between the ethical and the expedient. The pressure that is being brought to bear on the legislature is, on the one side, mostly from clergymen and church societies. On the other hand it comes from large manufacturing interests, heads of labor organizations and business men and the officers of the larger cities. The manufacturers, such as the Atlas Engine Works and the Atkinson Saw Works, each employing some two thousand men, contend that Sunday baseball would be a blessing to their concerns. They hold that their men do not, in any large degree, attend church. They have nothing to do on Sunday, and being confined all the week naturally desire some form of excitement and out-door pleasure. Now they find it by loafing round the parks, by in-

Of course each educated man in a community is of value to the community, but only in an indirect and far-fetched way. Now the stiite and the state alone is properly equipped to furnish education along the lines of agriculture and kindred subjects. Pedagogy and liberal arts and the professions are taught well in numerou • institutions no! under tli'' control of the state.

talk of afterward.

On the other hand is urged the purely ethical, the broken Sabbath, the possibility of other desecration, as Sunday theaters and the like. Had the bill been drawn to Include only the cities in which the conditions mentioned above exist, it is possible

A warning against the further building, at least for the present, of additional home for orphans in Indiana. is sounded in the report of the Board of Sta*“ Charities, a part of which has been made public. "There is no need for additional institutions of this class,” says the report. “Those existing can easily care for approximately 1,200 more children than they now have. In fact, in some of the counties the number in the homes is so small there is a strong sentiment in favor of closing the

homes.”

The report enumerates Boone county as having three children in its home; Decatur, five; Franklin, Six;

Every sensible person is—you do not wunt to pay o single cent more for the thing you need than iou are compelled to pay—do you.

is the opinion of the board that instead of spending money for the construction of additional homes for orphans, the persons in charge should exert a great effort to provide the in-

mates with suitable homes.

A peculiar condition is recorded by the board as a result of investigating existing conditions. There is found a notable decrease in the number of children made public wards in the fiscal year closing September 29, but a notable increase in tl’ population of institutions which receive them.

on to take the child. In such instances the child is never sent to a public asylum. The increase in population of the orphans' asylum is accounted for by the state hoard by the possible fact that custodians of children in these institutions have not exerted effort in finding homes for their wards, hence they have been increasing In numbers in the last two years. A proper effort to find homes for depi ndent children is the solution urged by the hoard for the problem of the dependent child. On the last day of the fiscal year there were 1.622 children of the dependent class in public institutions in Indiana. There were fifty-one fewer on Hie same day of the preceding year. The average for ten years is less than the number supported by institutions September 20. The number received during the year was SOS, a decrease of seventy-two from the number received during the preceding year. The various associations mnected with these institutions during the year placed a total of 777 children in good homes during tho .'ear, forty fewer than during the preceding year and 120 fewer than during 1906.
