An Excellent Weeks Programme Has
Been Arranged, with Special At

LAFAYETTE AND MADISON.
In Fifty Years 100000 Has Been Paid
I'm Premiums to 100000 Exhibi-
tOrs-The Arrangements.

This is the week of Indiana's golden jubi-
lee state fair-the fiftieth exposition given
in this State. All the exhibits must be in
place by o'clock tomorrow afternoon, at
which time the fair will be formally
opened. The programme for the week has
been so arranged that every day will be
special and it will be hard to deter
mine just which one will be the best. There
are special attractions arranged for each
day. either in the speed department. in the
music or the amusements. Tuesday Will
be old soldiers and children's day and will
also be the opening of the racing pro-
gramme. Three races are on the card for
that day, including the trotting division Of
the Kentucky Stock Farm purse.
Wednesday ard Thursday may be classed
as special days owing TO the fact that Sou
sa and his great band will give concerts in
front of the grand stand the after
moons and evenings of those days. In adj
dition TO Sousa there are many other at
fractions of special interest for those days.
Friday will be one of the star racing days.
Members of the State Board OF Agricul-
ture have spared neither time nor expense
to make the jubilee fair a success. Ex-
hibitors from all parts OF the country have
been encouraged to come to this exposition.
The scope OF every department has been
enlarged and made more pretentious. Man.

About the promenade are grouped the
great tented shows of the De Krekos, who
now excel in all Oriental and Occidental
displays. Their companies are large and
include all the native types and the per-
formances are high class and without the
reproachful features that are usually con-
demned. Eagle Eyes Indian tribe is
shown with its wigwams and the other
tents will contain the numerous attractions
that will beguile the time of the many
thousands of visitors. There will be some
thing doing at Festival Field all the time.

mittee and the engagements of attractions.
In the plaza inside the promenade in Fes-
tival Field the free attractions will be
placed The daring act of Canary. the BIZ
cycle Blondin, shows above all the rest.
He rides up the eighteen-inch pathway that
rises spirally to the fifteen-foot cycle whirl,
that it forty feet above the ground. In this
bottomless structure, which Is made of
chain bound oak Stats, he rides at high
speed in a horizontal position. Unexpected
ly he leaves this thrilling position for the
small exposed platform shown in the pic
lures, and rides down the decline, which
is made rough, at terrific speed. This act
is regarded as one of the most sensational
ever attempted and superior in it's hazard
to life and limb to the loop-the-loop act of
Diavolo. Next to the cycle whirl is the
Temple of Music, remarkable assembly of
mechanical instruments and human per-
formances. Another popular attraction, al
ways interesting, is the diving horses, King
and Queen, whose grac .ful plunges will be
made twice daily. Another free feature
will be the free drills by the w. E. English

the festival portion proper will be one hun
d ed feet wide and will hold 5000 people
without crowding. Another big thing is the
quantity of material that will be used by
Director German in his work. He will
use enough material to reach from the
Soldiers monument to Riverside Park If
sewed in one long strip. The canvas In
the fences that will surround the Enclosure,
If taken in single widths and sewed end
to end, would reach from the monument to
Riverside Park and back again-fve and
one-half miles. The sixteen-candle power
electric lights (ten thousand in number)
would illuminate Washington street from
the river to Irvington if placed on each
side ten feet apart. Thirty carloads of tan
bark will be necessary to make soft, dry
footing for the visitors. Several hundred
men will be required to complete the work
which has already begun at Festival Field
to make it the reality of the picture shown

no change in the policy of the school, and

place of Mr.. Trent the middle of October.
There has been no addition made to the
Shortridge school during the summer as
the capacity is adequate for the number
of students that will apply for admission.
1t is expected the enrolment this year
will be about 1.2O0 at the opening. This
is about the same number as applied last
year. There is one new member of the
faculty this term. Miss Josephine Brooks
will be in charge of the French classes.
Miss Flora Love, who has been a leave
of absence to California for a year. will
be in charge of the sophomore English
work again.

Indianapolis knows something Of Its Man.
ual Training High School. whose fame has
reached distant cities, but very few of its
people are aware of the work which was
begun q year ago in elementary Industrial
training and In household economy. which
will be carried forward this year on a
broader scale. In all the larger cities man.
ual training has been introduced in the
public schools. 1t is part of all the lower
grades OF the schools OF Boston.
In response to the inquiry of a Journal
reporter Superintendent Kendall gave an
interesting account OF what was done last
year In Industrial training i'm the ele-
mentary schools of the city. At the outset
Mr.. Kendall said that he would impress
upon the public that II Is not the aim OF
this instruction TO teach trades. nor will
the manual work interfere with the in
struction Ia the three RS" Its aim is TO
give boys q facility IN the use OF tools TO an
extent that viii be useful to any boy when
he becomes a man. and 10 teach the girl
the elements Of household economy-sew-
Ing. cooking and neatness. Taking the re-
port Of Mr.. Wahlston. who had charge Of
the instruction last year. Mr.. Kendall rap
sdly gave a few Of its essential features.

household economy have been most salts
factory.
This year sewing will be taught to girls
eleven years of age and upward, which will
include mending.
This year. in the schools which begin
on Monday, / expect that instruction will
be given to 5000 boys and girls at least"
said superintendent Kendall. I'VE will
double our teaching force, and the branch
will be under the direction of Mr. Louis
Bacon, who was with us last year. He is
a graduate of the Teachers College in New
York"
~ wish you would say" said Mr.. Ken
dali, that this new departure does not in
any way interfere with the giving to the
manual training scholars the usual course
in reading, writing. arithmetic, etc" When
asked what effect the manual training
had upon the pupils In regard to the
book studies, he said that 1T will invari-
ably be found that such pupils make better
progress. The hard work is an incentive,
waking up many a boy who would have a
reputation for dizziness and carelessness."

provided that cars mar be turned In the

barns are so convenient that a large num-

Festival Field is three-quarters OF a mile
from Meridian and Washington streets,
and is well adapted to its purposes. The
approach to 1t will be abundantly decorated

walk and shorter ride from the business
