TOO MUCH POLITICAL PULL.
Board of Education Wants Qualfica-

The State Board OF Education held a
meeting in the Office OF State Superintend-
ent Geeting yesterday. 1t was decided to
ask the next Legislature to make an educa-
tional qualification for the office OF county
superintendent At present county super
intendents are elected by the township
trustees OF each county, and in most in
stances 1t is political pull and not qualifca-
ton that secures the Office. President
Smart, OF Purdue, President Parsons. of the
State Normal, and Superintendent Cess. of
this city, were appointed a committee 20 de-
wise means Of putting the matter properly
before the next General Assembly The
board decided TO adopt a new grammar for

for five years.
The revision OF the history now in use
(AIontgomery's) caused considerable argu-
ment. The G.. A. r. has asked that the
book be revised, while the publishers have
contended that 1t contains a true statement
OF facts. Both sides were heard again yes
terday. II had been decided before that the
book should be revised, but the exact
changes have not yet been determined Some
of the suggestions made by the publishers
were accepted yesterday and others were
rejected. The board expects to be able 70
complete this work at its next meeting. In
the meantime Superintendent Geeting and
superintendent Goss will carefully study
the other changes desired and correspond
with the other members of the board.

CINCINNATI is A HOG
WANTED TO KEEP NORDICA FROM
INDIANAPOLIS FESTIVAL.
The Great Singer, However, Preferred
to Show Her Loyalty
to This City. iisJ

The high-class entertainments given by
the Indianapolis Music Festival Association
seem to have caused the management of
the Cincinnati Association some little con-
Germ. From all that can be learned, the
Indianapolis festival is regarded by the Gin
cinnati association as rival venture. There
seems to be desire on the part of the
Cincinnati management to head off attrac-
tons considered by indianapolis. The large
crowds which have been attracted here by
musical events could hardly have any other
effect than injure the Cincinnati festival.
The directors of the Indianapolis associa-
ton have been informed that the Cincinnati ii
directors wanted it specified in their con-
tract with Madame Nordica that she should
not sing in Indianapolis.
Madame Nordica is a great favorite In this
city and the directors fully anticipate that
she will be here this season. She is also
we'll liked in Cincinnati and the directors of
that city intend to have her. The Cincin-
natl management proposed to Madame Nor
dica that she make no contract with the
Indianapolis association. In truth, il is
said that the Cincinnati directors insisted
that she should not sign an Indianapolis
contract Madame Nordica responded that
she would give up her hopes of an engage
ment with Cincinnati before she would
those with Indianapolis, and she would not
sing at the Cincinnati festival If she must
agree not to sing in Indianapolis.

that composed the scaffolding were left on
the sidewalk about the monument at the

Barker and the money was not forthcom-

which he is supposed to have purchased
