COUNTY UNIFORMITY IN TEXT
BOOKS.

Editor RECoRD:--
/ As teacher of Sharp county,
Il am interested in any reform
that will be of any advantage to
the people in general. And,
having seen and experienced the
working and advantage Of text
book uniformity in the state from
which | moved, | wish to express
my hearty approval in its favor.
After the first introduction Of
the new series, and we probably
won't have to change moro than
half Of the present series, and
what we do change we will get at
Introductory or exchange prices,
we can get our books from one
third to one-half cheaper than
we now do. ! can best illustrate
this by giving prices under our
present system and under uni
! formity, as / have bought under
both systems: Histories, for
which we pay 81, under uniform
ity cost IS cents; biographies,
under present system, S1.25, un-
der uniformity rs cents; physiol-
ogies, present system 81, under
uniformity go cents; spelling
books, present system, 20 cents,
under uniformity 10 cents; and
all other books in the same pro-
portional decrease in prices. The
saving in cost Of books soon Off
set the first cost.
Another item in it's favor is it's
advantage to the poor of our
county who have to change dis
tricts from year to year. Z have
bad experience in this line, 1t is
no small item to have to by a
new outfit of books for a family
of five or six children every time
one changes districts, as | have
done.
Under the proposed law there
can be no change under six
years. And in Sec. 5 of the pro-
posed law we have this language:
"In making such adoptions the
County School Book Board shall
give due consideration to the
school text books which are in
use in the majority of the school
districts Of the county, and to
the wishes and recommendations
of the teachers and school pat
rons as may be expressed to the
board by petition or otherwise.
Hence, the board must adopt
such books as are in use in the
majority Of the schools of the
county, provided they can get
such books as cheap as they can
get them from some other COM
pany furnishing like books.
And as the company furnishing
the books are under bend and
cannot raise the contract price, |
see no reason for opposing law
that is a step in the right d.
rection.

MAY EMPTY woRKHOUsE.
Much Interest in the Suit Brought by
George Turner.

The habeas corpus proceedings brought
by George Turner, now confined I'm the
workhouse for default in payment of a
fine of 500 and costs assessed against him
in Police Court some time ago for loiter-
ing, promises to have far reaching eff
feet. The proceedings were brought on
the ground that the commitment to the
workhouse was illegally made, i'm that il
was signed by an attache of the Police
Court acting in that capacity for Judge
DAILY.
1t is claimed by the complainant that the
law expressly provides that judge cam
not delegate the execution of a judicial
act to another. and that the execution of
commitments to the workhouse or jail are
judicial acts, and therefore cannot be
signed by one other than the Judge of the
court, Judge DAILY has been busily en-
gagged for several days in looking up the
law upon the question, and he fears the
position of Turner's counsel is we'll taken.
In case Turner's suit is successful. there
will. without doubt, be many other suits
OF the same kind brought at once, for of
the 119 men and fifty women confined at
the workhouse many are there under conl-
mitments made and signed by the same
clerk acting for Judge Daily.

REPORT FINALLY MADE
THINGS NECESSARY TO IMPROVE
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
City Council Will Act Upon the Rec
ommendations-The Street-Rail-
way Annual Payment.

The committee composed of c. =. Sayles,
c. II. Badger, John j. Appel, Henry Coe,
Sol s. Kiser and Robert MartindaIe, that
investigated the needs of the fire depart
ment with the special Council committee,
has sent its report to the Council. The COM
mittee represented the Commercial Club.
Board of Trade, Merchants Association
and Fire Insurance Association of Indian
apolis
The report says the Improvements in the
fire department have not kept pace with
the growth of the city and many changes
should be made. 1t recommends complete
new fire alarm system, central fire sta
ton, located I'm the vicinity of Kentucky
avenue and Maryland street. three new
first-class fire engines, one aerial truck,
ten thousand feet of new nose, four addi-
tional street cisterns, advantageously To-
Gated in the business district, and all els
terms connected with water mains, one
additional fireman at each central station
and the quarters of firemen be made COM
Portable and supplied with new and clearly
equipments. The report adds that through :
out the business and manufacturing dis
tricts there is much combustible property
prove disastrous; with sufficient equipment
and prompt attention great confagration
only could be avoided The committee adds
that the improvements recommended are
the very least with which the community
should be satisfied.

POOR ATTEMPT AT REFORM.
Mike White viii serve Eleven Days
in the workhouse.

Mike White, a member OF the Boo gang.
has come to grief through his efforts 10
reform. He is now serving term in the
workhouse, where he will languish for
eleven days for imbibing too freely on
money donated to him by friends for street
car fare. The employees of the various city
departments In the basement of the court
house were nearly paralyzed Tuesday when
White made the rounds and announced
that he had decided to be as temperate as
the nominee for President on the Prohibi-
ton ticket. He followed this straight jab,
which nearly put his auditors out of bust
ness, by declaring that he would carry his
wave of reformation still further and 60 20
work. Now, White happened TO be one OF
the numerous 'heelers' who claims TO hold
of his hand, and the Democrats I'm the
basement listened attentively 10 his tenn
perance speech and plans.
One OF the employees MT upon plan
dollars and took him to the Board OF
Health office, where he was furnished with
a list of a number of lots where weeds
should be cut. White was minus the neces-
sary implements and the board provided
him with a new scythe. The reformed
member started out on his trip, but decided
before leaving the building that he needed
some care fare. He called on nearly every
city employee and told his tale and succeed
ed In collecting quite sum. But White
became suddenly thirsty and the desire
could not be overcome by looking at The
water tanks, so he proceeded TO spend his
accumulated wealth. When his funds were
exhausted his jag was not complete, so to
put the finishing touches on il he pawned
the new scythe and then became noisy and
was locked up. He will serve eleven days.
and when his time is out he will be arrest
ed on the charge of petit larceny for dis
posing OF the Scythe.
