Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind. June 1.-The Wabash
School Board has decided to add a regular
course of bookkeeping to the present course
in the high school. The business course
will run three years, the first year be-
ing the equivalent of the freshman year
i'm the regular course. The departure is a
radical one, and was adopted only after
much investigation and discussion by the
board. which was agreed upon the neces-
sity of fitting young men fox active COM
mercial pursuits. Nc student who is quail
fed for the sophomore year III the high
school will be permitted 10 take the bust
ness course, the purpose being to have
pupils begin at the first year OF the course.
The instruction will be equal to that given
in any commercial college in the land, and
hign salaried man has been engaged TO
take charge of the department. II Is be-
leved that large number of young men
and women will avail themselves of the OPP
portunity To get thorough business edu-
cation free. The board also advanced the
wages of all the teachers in the city
schools. the total increase being $500. Ii
was also decided to shorten the school year

ARMOUR INSTITUTE.


CHICAGO, June 2.-Enlarged and CON-
plete reorganization of the Armour In
stitute of Technology will be effected with
in the next year. The Rev. Frank w. Gun
saulus, who a year ago resigned as presi-
dent, will again become the head OF the
school. and his plans for radical changes in
the conduct OF the institute will be Endorsed
by the trustees. Two new buildings will
be erected on land contiguous to the site
OF the present structure. The first will be
a shop building. The second will be a
memorial building for L. ID. Armour. ST.
Coeducatio in the future will be no part
of the schools work. Since the establish
ment OF Armour Institute the academy,
which has been conducted largely as gen.
eral prepare tory school. has been attended
alike by young women and men. In re-
stricting the future attendance 10 young
men the intention is TO make the academy
conform more closely to the work of pre-
pairing students for the engineering
courses of the institute.
In assuming the duties OF president of
the institute DR.. Gunsaulus will be re-
leved of financial management. which
heretofore has been incumbent upon the
head Of the institution. The business d.
rection will be in the hands of a commit
tee OF the board of trustees.

EFFORTS IN MEDICAL RESEARCH
FOR SCIENCE AND HUMANITY.
Mr.. RockefcIIer's Gift VIII Give Ini-
mOur Institute REORGANIZATION.

NEW YORK, June 2.-The Herald will
say tomorrow: within a comparatively
few days the work on behalf of science and
humanity which the newly Incorporated
Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research
is to carry on will be started in the patho-
logical laboratories of half dozen UNI
versities in this country and one i'm Can
ada and in the laboratory of the health de-
partment of this city. Among the centers
OF the work will be the University of Chi
oago. Indications are that the S2OO,Ooo
which Mr. Rockefeller has given as the
capital of the new institute is trifling
sum compared to what he contemplates
giving ultimately to the same cause.
THE work will be done at Columbia Uni
versity. Harvard University. the University
OF Chicago, the University of Michigan. the
University of Pennsylvania, Johns Hopkins
University. McGill University of Montreal
and the headquarters of the New York
health department. The directors of the
new Rockefeller Institute will have super
vision over il, but ii Will be performed by
physicians whom they Will employ and who
Will work more or less independently IN the
different places named
The heads of the various pathological
laborat tories VIII have general charge OF
the investigation, whether they happen TO
be directors or the institute or not. PERIOD
ically the directors, whose judgment Will
be the sole regulator OF the expenditure Of
the $200,OJ0 provided, will meet TO discuss
the result OF the work and will jointly
give out the Information which il may have
developed through the original channels.
The work may go on for year or two be-
fore definite plans are made for a perma-
nent institution.

THE AGE OF WRITER'S.
The Best Work is Commonly Done in
Rather Advanced Years.

The old discussion concerning the age at
which the best literary work is done which
is going on again. recalls TO the editor of
Current Literature the story of the ambi-
tious writer who proved TO his salts
faction that the full fruition of human
brain-power was reached in that year
hich used to be called the grand climac-
teric. Accordingly he wrote his great book
at the proper time only to have it received
with contempt. What TO him a mys-
terry was solved when he discovered that
his birth certificate had by mistake been
two years post-dated. so that in reality he
had allowed his best year To pass. The
editor goes on to say that from the debate
which has long gone on upon the subject
energies the conclusion that while no law
can be discovered as to writing i'm general.
authors of fiction have generally done their
best work in maturity De Foe was fifty
eight when he wrote Robinson Crusoe"
Richardson fifty-two when Pamela" APP
peared, Fielding wrote Tom Jones in his
forty-eighth and forty ninth years. George
Eliot was forty-fOur when 'ROmOla' ap-
peared. and Thackeray thirty-six when
Vanity Fair" was published. Trollope be-
gan his work late i'm life. the first of his
successful novels appearing i'm his forty.
first year. Scott was forty-three when, in
1914. he wrote ''Waverly." though he was
famous as a poet at the age of thirty-four.
Swift was fifty-nine when he wrote "Gul-
livers Travels" Apparent exceptions
found in Victor Hugo, who wrote Hans of
Iceland" and "BugJargol' when very
young; he was capable of Les Miserables''
only It the age OF sixty. Balzac produced
only inferior work until he had passed
thirty. The reason of course is obvious
activity OF imagination. rhetorical power
and general information. all of which may
be possessed in comparative youth, will
equip any writer but a novelist; he must
have in addition to these that which ordi-
narily comes only with actual length Of
years-wide experience and observation of
human life The real exception is of course
Charles Dickens, who. at the age of twenty
four, published a book, "Pickwick Papers,"
which revealed fully developed every char
acteristic OF his genius. Not merely was
"Pickwick Papers unparalleled youth
full success but its characteristics remained
those of its authors later work. The fact
is that through the abnormal experiences of
his childhood. Dickens was at twenty-four
what men usually become at twice the age.
In his childhood Dickens a in
many things. Ii is equally true that in his
manhood he remained child in many
things.

CITY OF BUTTE SLIDING.
Great Cracks Open sn the Earth-( it,
liens Becoming Alarmed.

BUTTE. Mont, June 2.-The strange
sliding movement of the city of Butte.
which has been noticed at intervals for
several years. has again manifested itself
by five large cracks in the earth in different
parts of the city. The largest occurred on
West Galena street where a crack twelve
inches wide and of considerable length and
depth has appeared. Three of the open
ings occurred Oh the west side Of the town
and two on the east side. There is cav
irg, but a distinct parting OF the earth, and
the granite walls can easily be seen in
them.
The gas and water companies have much
trouble owing 10 the strange movement.
which frequently breaks their underground
pipes. City Engineer Rickenbach says the
engineering department OF the city encoun-
tiers the same trouble. as elevations and
bench marks in certain parts OF the city
are constantly changing. This is especially
true of the locality west OF Main street and
north of Broadway. where the marks have
been known TO shift to the extent of a foot
in a very short time. The continuance OF
the strange phenomenon is beginning to
cause some alarm among the citizens OF
Ruttp.
