One of the commonest losses re-
suits from a mishandling of fines and
forfeitures. Offenses committed
against the State are Unable and the
statutes provide that all moneys ac-
cruing from this source and from for
FIXTURES shall be converted into the
common school fund. There are in
the State about / 400 judges of Cir
cult Court, police judges, mayors and
justices of peace, all of whom have
the right to assess and collect fines.
A general abuse practiced almost uni
versally by these officers is the re-
mission of fines.
Under the constitution of the State

In actual practice many courts allow
the prisoner to go free on suspended
sentence or remit the fines when pro-
vision has been made for the pay
ment of the costs. At other times
an agreement is entered into with the
prisoner to pay all or part of the
prosecutors fee and the fine is remit
ted. At still other times an arrange
ment is made with the prosecutor
and the Indictment is 1uashed or the
case is settled out of court.
Officers frequently omit to collect
fines through favoritism or lack of
zeal. Most courts take occasion to
assess the minimum fine and then
make no special effort to collect it.
Fines in my opinion, should be made
as large as they can be made con-
sistently with Justice. practice
common in most sections of the State
is that of allowing fines to be stayed

ma State Teachers Association is an
honor not to be sneezed at, apparent
ly there is no electioneering being
done by any of the men who have as
pirations locked tightly within their
breasts.
DIR. Il. b. Bryan is one of the edu-
Gators whose name is prominently
spoken of as the next executive of
the association, but even he denies
that such thing is likely, declaring
that he had never considered being
candidate.
The nominating committee held a
meeting tonight and will report at the
opening session tomorrow morning.
The real feature today was the
stirring address delivered by Lotus
d. Coffman, superintendent of the
public schools at Connersville. He
made vigorous attack on courts and
prosecutors who have made a prac-
tice of RENTING fines, declaring that
the school fund of the State suffers
greatly.
In part he said:
1t is the most underpaid of all the
skilled professions. Consequently it
is little wonder that men and women
of strength and power decline to de-
vote their lives to the worlds service
in such poorly paid, unpopular pro-
fession. The result is that many per-
sons OF second rate ability are find
ing their way into the profession
Two things stand out prominently.
viz. the teacher has not received the
social recognition he merits. and the
present practice permitting a con-
stantly changing teaching force. aug
menting it annually with 1000 re-
cruits, due largely to unappreciative
salaries, must result in permanent in

ceeding generations. The teachers
should be better paid that enlarged
opportunities may be afforded the
children of the State. To secure the
needed relief a slumbering public con-
science must be aroused.
How to Obtain More Money.
There are just two avenues open
TO us today with which to secure
more money TO support and maintain
the schools. One is by additional
legislation and the other by stopping
the leakages existing under the pre-
sent laws. Both will probably be
needed before we secure all the
funds necessary. The commission
may effect the first. but an enraged
public opinion. coupled with legisla-
ton OF minor character, is the only
thing that will bring relief from the
second condition.
