RICHMOND, Ind, July pa conference
Of the leading history teachers of Wayne
county was recently held with Prof. Cyrus
w. Hodgin, of Earlham College. who is one
of committee OF five appointed by the
State Teachers Association to recommend
changes in the present course. 1t was the
sense of the conference that the course,
as outlined, is too heavy, and the Ten
Boys" on which the first six years of the
course are based, Is insufficient as a text.
All were agreed that myths and stories
should be used for the first three grades
and some more suitable text should be
provided for the fourth, fifth and sixth
grades. AS the work advances it should
become more complex and the abstract
parts introduced. The biography work.
which is so nearly lost sight of in the pres
ent course, should be given more prom
inent place. These suggestions will be
presented to the state committee at its
first meeting.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 26.-It is not
an overstatement to say that not less than
1000 gallons of blackberries were sold in
Bloomington yesterday. and that within
the next week probably 10000 gallons will
be sold in and about the city. The crop is
unusually heavy this year, and only for the
sudden dry spell would have been even
larger. The berries are not cultivated, but
grow on the hillsides in the woods and
along the roads in fence corners. For a
week past hundreds OF people have taken
out their buckets and picked the berries
wherever they can be found. One farmer
yesterday brought in over 300 gallons and
peddled from house to house. The berries
sell at about 10 cents a gallon, which gives
an idea of the revenue derived during the
last two weeks of July from this source.
