INDIANA CANE-GROWERS.
Successful Meeting Of the Association-Pe
tinent Resolutions Adopted.

The Indiana Cane-growers Association con-
venedyesterday forenoon at the rooms of the State
Board of Agriculture, good representation being
in attendance. President Furnas of Danville
opened the meeting with an appropriate adj
dress, after which a number Of interesting pa
pers were read and remarks made At the morn
ings session Governor Gray honored the conven-
ton with his attendance and short address,
speaking largely in favor and recognizing the
vast importance of the industry they repre-
sen.ed. The convention awarded the premiums
offered-a $15 evaporation presented by Chap
man s. Co., of Madison and So in cash, to the
exhibitor of the best sample of sorghum syrup,
and years subscription to the Sorghum grow
ers' Guide, and 81 to the second best-frst
premium to w. F. Leitzman, Clayton, Ind:
second premium to A. p. Clelaud Birmingham
Ind. large number of samples were on exhi.
bition. The convention adjourned sine die at
noon.
1t was one of the most successful conventions
yet held by the organization in the State. The
officers are: DR.. A. Furnas, Danville, Ind pres
ident; e. w. Demming, West Point Ind. vice.
president; A. S. Chapman, Madison, Ind, sec
rotary and w. F. Leitzman, Clayton. Ind
treasurer. Before adjournment the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The cane-growers of Indiana in conven-
ton assembled recognizing the critical condition of
the sorghum industry in midst and the inn
portance of its successful outcome to great body
of farmers and in fact to the country at large and
believing sorghum to be the plant that distant
day will largely supply the worlds COM
merce with its sugars; and further recoeniz-
ing the lack of knowledge of it's culture,
manufactures, machinery required etc., now being
dfused, and the Importance of State and national
governments using their legislative powers in the
diffusion of such knowledge and testing, and brn girg
before the interested public suitable machinery and
suitable methods tending to place the industry in the
position which the very nature of things show that it
will eventually occupy, and believing it to be the duty
of our lawmakers to hasten that coming therefore
be it
Resolved, That this body in convention assembled
respectfully request that the Department of Agrcul-
ture do all in its power to have the United States
Congress pass suitable appropriations furthering
the experiments IN the sorghum industry, and would
further request that the experiments be conducted in
the interest of smaller manufacturers well as the
larger. believing the industry is in situation
requiring governmental aid; and further be it
Resolved That each member of this body consider
himself committee of to his franchise priv
leges in inducing legislators, both State and ma
tional to use their influence to bring this about.

is not the duty Of the parents to look after
the physical development of pupils. The school
is not the place for play. and gymnastic exercises
are not within the province of the ordinary pub
lie school. They should be conducted secondar-
lily, in way to be conducive to good health and
physical vigor. avoiding above all things over
burdensome work.
l.. a. Hadley, superintendent Of. the Rockville
schools, addressed the association on ''The Ten
ure of Office Of the Teacher" The leading edu-
Gators OF Massachusetts had agreed that the
tenure OF Office of the teacher should be continu
Gus, and certainly no one could doubt the ad-
vantage of experience and early training. But
the conditions were different in Indiana, where
business and professions were rapidly changing.
The time will probably come when specialists
In professional work will be the rule but it is
not so now. 1t is true that merit is not
always recognized. Teachers should be Sc
iected with regard to fitness and efficiency.
the tenure Of teachers should be made secure
oy training body of professional teachers, by
making the standard higher and by strong
pubic sentiment to properly check the arbitrary
policies OF school officers. A school teacher is a
citizen; he has civic rights which it is his duty to
support The school year should be made suf-
fciently long and the wages sufficiently high to
give the school teacher a position as repre-
sentative man. When we reach the true dignity
OF profession the tenure of office will regulate
itself On the other hand. contracts should be
held inviolate between officials and teachers.
