PARAMOUNT, Ind. Oct. A cane
rush took place this morning between the
senior and junior classes of the Paramount
Academy an old Quaker institution, in
which q number of students were badly
done up" The trouble has been brewing
for some time and came to a focus last
Saturday night, when the senior class at
tempted to raise a flag of their colors ever
the building. They were surprised and pre-
vented from doing so by the juniors after
a small scrimmage, in which no one was
hurt. The juniors raised their flag this
morning at A O'Clock. This banner was
shortlived also, for no sooner did the
seniors see it than it was dragged down,
after which they dispersed. At o'clock
this morning the seniors came to school
in body all carrying canes bearing their
colors. This intiamed the juniors, who
made rush for them and for the next
thirty minutes the schoolyard was the
scene of a rough and-tumble fight, which
ended only when the last cane was brok-

MUSIC IN THE SCHOOLS.
The Attack on the Natural Course in
the Indianapolis Schools.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Much has been said recently in the In
dianapolis papers of the condition and fall
ure of music in the public schools. The
books in use last year have been held up
to contempt upon partisan testimony in
stigated by parties interested in competing
books. The books lately in use have been
summariiy dropped and others of alleged
superiority have been taken in their place.
The attack was remarkable in the history
of such controversies for it's bad temper
and one-sidedness. Substantially four
charges were made. First, that the poetry
in the books was bad Second, that there
were few or no good songs. Third, that the
course was badly graded. Fourth, that it
was not adapted for the work of the grade
teachers. In support of the first point, a
few-lesS than a dozen-exampleS of the
poetry were cited, out of the hundreds of
poems in the volumes. The following STAN
zas, which every wel-informed reader will
recognize as the production of that charm
ing poet of child life, the late universally
beloved Robert Louis Stevenson, bore the
brunt of the attack:
"Of speckled eggs the birdie sings and
nests among the trees;
The sailor sings of ropes and things, in
ships upon the seas:
The children sing in far Japan, the children
sing in Spain;
The organ with the organ man is singing in
the RAIN.

The Theatcr Hat Must Go.

New York theatrical people have determined
to compromise with the big theater hat no
longer. A crusade has been started in Gotham

Match gave an object lesson to help along the
crusade. After singing several songs very

turned down. VIII sn the stage was again iluul-
