TO REFORM THE BOYS
PROF. STUDEBAKER'S SYSTEM APP
Piled IN COMMON SCHOOLS.
Scheme for n Trolley Line That VIII
The ROsenbarger Case.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
FLORA Ind Jan. 21-Prof Joseph Stude-
baker, a teacher in the public schools here,
has a new plan of self-government for the
pupils. and it has turned out so we'll it will
probably be adopted by all the schools of
the county. Speaking of the new plan of
government Prof. Studebaker said: THE
one main purpose of our schools should be
to teach the duties of good citizenship, yet
our schools are actually training for poor
citizens, because we run them as little
monarchies and expect the pupils to become
citizens of a democracy. This seems 10 be
finding fault with our school system, but
not so; striking at the teachers. For
eight or ten years the common school is the
child's community, and the impressions and
convictions made during these years can
never be removed. They will fix his life as
a member of the community, the State and
the Nation.
THE school is the first institution with
which the child comes in contact. Here he
finds tyranny on the one side-the teacher
and rebellion on the other-the pupils the
monarch ruling over the slaves. Breaking
the rules without being caught is so much
clear gain. To expose each other is treach-
erous and cowardly Let the teacher find
out is but the prelude Of the Indifferent
citizen who says, Let the police, or the
marshal lind out, it is not my business
Hiding a crime makes one a party to the
crime.
The schoolboy is the miniature citizen.
He learns to do by doing Then why not
have him hold Office and vote in school life,
as he will when he grows up. This is the
purpose of self-government in schools; to
train the child for usefulness in after life.
We hold an election every month and
pupils vote by ballot for their tribune,
whose duty it is to look after, and hear the
petty annoyances of those under him. Thus
I have only to seek information from the
tribune, and then the cases are taken up
and disposed of as in any court. In my
quarter of a century of teaching 1 never
found anything more practical or beneficial
than the tribune system of pupil self-gov-

Looks park Cor Mrs. Rosenbarger.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
PRINCETON, Ind, Jan. H.-The hearing
of testimony in the Rosenbarger poisoning
case was completed this afternoon and court
adjourned until Monday, when the argument
will be heard. The sensation of the day was
the testimony of the defendant Mrs. Rosen-
barger, who is accused of poisoning her son.
She was on the stand for four hours and
was subjected to a severe cross-examination
lasting over two hours. The State strength
ened it's case materially by the cross exam
ination and by the rebuttal offered later. The
testimony showed that the defendant had
not proven a mother to her children since
separation from her husband. The defense
rested at 2 o'clock. The States rebuttal
brought forth several surprises in the way
of breaking Mrs Hudson's testimony that
the defendant was not out of her sight on
the Sunday afternoon. The defense devel-
oped little in rebuttal. The cross-examina-
ton of DR.. Ellis this morning covered con-
siderable time. He says that the son is in
sane.
