nine suppression OF PhysioIogy in One SCHOOLS.

The Suppression of Physiology in the Schools.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
Now that attention has been called to the
manner in which the present school board has
suppressed certain lines of study, and broken
faith in some instances where they had made
promises, l would like to give bit of history
connected with some work done by the w. c. t.
U. with the school board. Four yeam ago a
committee of ladies from the w. G. 7. U. pre-
sented petitions with long lists of names at
tached, to the board, asking that the
board order that the effects of
alcohol on the human system be taught
in all the city schools in connection with physol
ogy, The board expressed themselves as favor
able to the measure and passed it at one of their
meetings thus making it a law so far the city
schools were concerned, But, before it was
voted upon, the clause was inserted lat the dis
erection of the teacher This made it possible
for any teacher to evade the rule, if they fit,
and gave power to the board to nullify their own
action, at any time, by instructing the teachers
not to comply with the law. They did so in
struct them, and not only was no teaching done
but those who claim to know assert
that the few pages in the physiology
in i'll the schools at that time that treated of
the effects of alcohol on the system, were passed
over, and no lessons taught from them. These
facts are from those who had charge of the mat
tons presented to the board If it be true
that the board has been guilty of such double
dealing and accomplished by intrigue what
they did not dare openly deny to such large
number OF their patrons. l. as u parent and tax

The WOman's Christian Temperance Union.
To :he Editor Of the indianapolis journal:
The Woman's Christian Temperance Union is
the largest organization of women the world
has ever known. Its scope is the broadcast. its
aims the kindest its ;liis33y the most heroic" 1t
has solved the question of solid South or sid
North, and comes, a united sisterhood, working
for the destruction of foe that knows no boun-
daries. 1t is a home missionary society, in the
fullest sense, minstering not only to the spirit
ual wants of the people, but caring for the phys
zeal and legislative as well. Wherever there is
child suffering from the degradation that our
petted national vice brings in such pitiful
ways to so many little ones there the w. C. T.
u. goes with its message of total abstinence
taught in industrial schools newsboys' homes,
mission Sunday-schOols kitchen gardens and the
kindergarten. Everywhere temperance htera-
ture is being scattered, in the hope that some
seed may fall upon good soil and bring forth
fruit to our temperance gospel There is
scarcely a legislative body that has not heard
the pleading voice of the W. &. L. L., asking
the men. who are our only representatives, to
save our homes from the ruthless power of the
great home devastator.
North and south, east and west our women
all are of one accord in their determination
to leave no stone untuTned to bring about the
total prohibition of the liquor traffic.
Ruskin says, when the women of the world
say war shall cease, war will cease And we
believe, when the women of the world say the
liquor traffic must go, the liquor traffic will CO.
TO this end we are working to this end hoping
and with great thankfuness, take note of
the marvellous growth in sentiment
among women in the last ten years.
Gospel law and education is the
trio that must cleanse nation.
The door swings wide open, and many are going
in thereat, taking upon themselves a vow to
never give up until their homes are protected by
law. For God, and home, and native land is
their rallying cry; 1.-THE school-hOuse upon the
hilltop and saloon in the valley" their beauti
full vision; seen now only by faith, but will be-
come blessed reality by and by. Until then
will work, and watch, and pray.
The national executive committee meeting
which will be held in Indiana w. c. L. u, State
headquarters, to-day will be one of the most
important ever held Women who would die
for this cause are coming to talk over plans of
action and lay out the work-for not few
fanatics scattered here and there but for
of culture, education and determination To
night at the Grand Opera-house, invite
every lady to come, listen to such women as
Frances E. Willard, Mrs. Mary Aldrich, Mrs
Mary oodbrdge-women who would be willing
to go into the fiery furnace if by so doing they
could bring out national constitution with
the prohibition of the liquor traffic written in it
in letters of living light. Everybody is invited,
There will be no admission fee, ana no collection

understand how tight the rein
is drawn in this present in
stance witness the condition pointed
out above. So many ardent aspirants,
respectable i'll talents, strength and
worthiness, and yet not one of the lot
dare show his head above the surface.
1t is said daily, and boosted of, that
the governor is serene and self-pos-
sessed. Well indeed may he be. He
knows well, and understands why all
avenues are closed against the al =
proach of any or all possible rivals
He is safe until the shifting demands
again place him ouside the charmed
, circle, or the revolution against the
circle becomes uncomfortable, and by
that time he will have been stated
perhaps, and will not care. Unless the
purpose of rebellion against the Close
corporation is veteran, and genera
one, any attempted opposition will
only prove ridiculous this season.

Austin ENTERPRISE,

The STATESMAN is always pleased
to welcome the advent to this city of
any enterprise calculated to benefit
the people, or enhance the commercial
| interests of Austin. And it is pecu-
liarly pleased TO- day to invite the spe-
cial attention Of this community to
the excellent project about I o be inau-
gurated here 10y Mr.. A. Z. Woodbridge
in the nature of a savings bank. If
there is any one thing more desira-
bile than another, in a city like Aus
| tin, it is just the institution contem-
plated. In all the northern and east
ern centres of population savings
| banks universally flourish, and have
been found to be of the greatest adj
vantage to the general public. Here
it cannot fail to be an especial boom, as
wehave among us large class of fru-
gal citizens who are certain to take adj
vantage of the opportunities offered
for the investment of their spare earn
ings, and the safe-keeping of their
surplus funds. In locality like this,
with its numerous department clerks,
it's sturdy business employees, and its
large list of middle, or persons of linn
tied means, nearly every individual
will have his bank book under the
new plan proposed by Mr.. Woodbridge.
Under the financial system now in
vogue in the city, none but those who
are comparatively wealthy can enjoy
the benefits of a bank, and those who
would be economical have no place
for depositing the fruits of their in
dustry and frugality but we are glad
to think that on and after May 1,
| arrarp1NoJx xrrha hoe tho dicnnoitiOn On
to do may lay by their earnings where
they can always be got at, and at same
time realize large interest In the
moneys they place for safe keeping
The institution to be opened here May
1 will be an adjunct Of Mr.. Wool
bridges present popular banking
house, and under his prudent manage
ment d grand success is assured. We
observe by the prospectus, which will
be found in another column, and which
fully details the principles governing
the proposed savings institution, that
its patrons will receive five and six
per cent interest on their deposits,
while of our own knowledge we are
aware that in the north and east they
only pay three and four per cent. The
establishment of this new enterprise,
therefore, is step which meets the
hearty approval of The STATESMAN,
and we feel pleasure in commencing
it to the general public. 1t supplies
want long felt in Austin-lt encour-
ages economy and frugality-it en-
ables even the poorest in our midst to
add to his little savings-and from
and after the date of its opening one
of the highest testimonials the deserv-
ing can show of their practical worth
is the regularity with which they add
to their savings at the new institution.
Every young man and young woman
in this section and its surroundings
should have a bank book, for there
are none so poor but what they can
save something, and every dollar saved
is dollar earned.

OF course there can never be any Sc

favor Of mob law, but when the senti-
ment upon which single mob acts is
a general sentiment and held by the
people all over the country. and in all
communities, the act of the mob be-
comes revolutionary. Revolutions
are praiseworthy or otherwise, astheir
principles are good or bad. There is
growing and very general feeling in
this country. but more especially in
