CHANGE CHAPEL PERIOD
EARLHAM STUDENTS TO HAVE
r: CHAPEL ONCE A WEEK.
Period Will be Heightened to One
Hour Instead of Twenty Min
utes as Formerly. 4

AT the beginning of the spring
term at Earlham, March 81, a de-
cidedfy new and novel plan will be
inaugurated in conducting the chapel
exercises. Heretcfor it has been
customary to devote twenty minutes
each morning to chapel exercises, but
next term there will be only one ser
vice each week and the time will be
heightened to the period of one hour.
This plan is used in many of the
larger universities Of the country and
is decidedly popular with both the
student and faculty. The plan, how
ever, is radical step for a demon
national school to take. The stu
dents at Earlham are happy over the
change, as it gives more time for
study four days in the week. The
plan will also be welcomed by the
day students as it is very hard
matter for them to get to Earlham
every morning in time for chapel,
and as twelve absences during the
term take one fifth of a credit of the
terms grade, the rule works hard
ships with many Of them.
The scheme will be tried for few
weeks and if it does not prove salts
factory the old system will be re-
stored.

THE RICHMOND HoRsEMEN
REALIZE NOW, THE LOSS
al -. OF OLD PARK.
PLAN A new ASSOCIATION
Believed Half Mile Track Would Be
More Suitable Than Mile
Course for Richmond.

Richmond's driving park, east of
the city, is little more than mem
Dry. The park is. now a scene of
desolation, with the big grand stand
RACED and the tottering fences ready
/ to fall.
The death Of the old driving park
is a sad blow to local horsemen and
to lovers of the racing sport who
have hoped for years that there
would be some permanent organiza-
ton which ultimately would take
over the property and build it up.
Realizing now that the end has come
to the old park, there is senti-
ment existing among horse men that
may tend to bring about a revival of
old time interest and which may lead
to the organization of a new associ-
alton.
The project has been talked many
times, only to fall through because
Of the lack of leadership. In a
yesterday, Richmond horseman
said that if company Of fifty BUSH
ness men and horsemen could be or
ganized to build race track and
park at some point between Rich
mond and Centerville, where good in
terurban service COULD be assured,
there was no doubt of the success of
the racing game locally. This
horseman idea was to build a half
mile track instead Of mile course,
and to eliminate the county fair fea-
ture altogether. A race meeting, In
the early summer with moderate size
purses, the horseman declared, would
be attractive to race horse men if

TOMORROW MARKS ANNIvER-

-SSsFa1 PATRON SAINT.
LOCAL OBSERVANCE PLAN
Order of Hibernins To Hold Forth
in the Evening at st. Mary's
Hall-Legend of the Day. ~
YIT.ohs ETZEs Ao9z.

Tomorrow is st. Patrick IS Day,
for March II, is the date assigned to
ST. Patrick, Ireland's patron saint.
Though not born in Ireland, and the
exact place of his nativity not hay,
ing been by any means positively as
certained-Scotland, France, Eng
land and Wales all claiming his
,birthplace--no other country of the
world can dispute possession Of the
saints bones and his memory with
the land he served SO long and loved
so we'll.
He is commonly said to have died
at Saul, on March II, in the one hum
dredf twerty-frst year of his age. AS
the birthplace Of st. Patrick has been
disputed, so has the place of his bur-
ial. But the general evidence indi-
Gates that the bodies of ST. Colomb
and st. Bridget were laid beside him.
The shamrock is almost universally
worn in the hat in Ireland on st. Pat
rick's day and this custom has ex-
tended to all parts of the earth
where there are persons Of Irish
birth or Irish lineage, especially, in
the United States, Canada and Aus
tralia. ], The popular notion is that
when st. Patrick was preaching the
doctrine Of the Trinity to the pagan
Irish he used the. shamrock, bearing
three leaves on one stem, as. a symbol
or illustration Of the, great Trinity.
In Richmond the, observance will
be confined. to a, celebration in St
Mary's Hall TOMORROW evening
which will be under the auspices OF
the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
