mish in New York-ChangeS at Yale

Many interesting football games are
scheduled for today, but two stand out
far above the others-the Princeton-Cor-
nell and Pennsylvania-CarIisle matches
The Tigers will have to show their
full strength 20 beat Cornell at Ithaca
while the Indians are sure to make
good fight against the QUakers in Phila-
delphia. Yale and Harvard have COM
paratively easy games, which should
hardly afford more than stin practice.

Tigers defeated 40 10 5, while Harvard
will line up against the Springfield
Training School. The Navy will have
worthy opponent in Lafayette. while on
form West Point should have no trou-
BILE with the University of Rochester.
Although Cornell was defeated last
Saturday. to G, by Pennsylvania State,
il is safe to say that Princeton viii have
to play far better football than that
team did to beat Cornell today. 1t is
generally believed that the Tiger eleven
will win, but it is also generally be-
lieved that it viii have no easy time
in doirg so, and many football ex-
perts feel that the Ithacans may do
things to the Princeton line that will
bring sorrow to the hearts of Roper
and his assistants.
The game viii be watched with closest
interest as 1t is the first real test for
the Princeton team. The Cornell un-
dergraduates have not lost faith in their

To develop the ends on the forward

starting two ends from the goal line

GATHERING WAS SUCCESS.

The first Saturday in September
each year is the time set for the an
nuai reunion of the teachers. schol.
ars. patrons and friends generally OF
what is known as the Culbertson
school in Center township. This
school formerly was a social center
of the surrounding neighborhood.
Though the day was bad for picnics,
by the noon hour a goodly number had
gathered with well filled baskets pre-
pared for good time. Dinner. which
is always feature of reunion being
disposed of, the president. Mr.. Rey-
nolds being absent, c. w. King called
the meeting to order. Minutes of the
former meeting were read by Mrs
Matte Morris, secretary. After some
preliminary remarks by the president,

Johnston. president Of the Art asso-
citation of Richmond. gave the princi-
pal address. telling ot her experience
with the school and neighborhood in
the years of 1850 and 1881, before the
roads were improved or much drain
age done and mud and water were
everywhere. She gave description
of the old house and yard as Ii was
then-hare walls, no shade trees or
anything to make the place attractive.
She encouraged identifying our sur
roundings and by motion took up a
collection as a nucleus toward a fund
for a picture or pictures to decorate
the walls of the building.
Miss Rose Shank, who had been
previously appointed as historian,
read an interesting paper giving his
tory of the schools and teachers back
to the rude log structure of pioneer
days. which will be printed later. At
ter re-electing the old officers and
committees, the meeting adjourned to
meet next year at the same time and

Superintendent Are Pleased
With Effect in Regard to
Closing Schools.
TWELVE PUPILS LIMIT.
PATRONS SEEM TO BE WILLING
TO DO THEIR PART OF THE
WORK IN TRANSPORTING THE
CHILDREN.

Indianapolis, Sept. General sat
isfaction is expressed by county super
intendents over the state with the
new law, which becomes effective
with the opening of the schools today,
and which provides for the abandon
ment of schools where the attendance
is not over twelve. 1t means the clos
ing of several schools over Indiana
there being scarcely a county which
has not felt the effect of the law.
Not a superintendent can be found,
however, who does not approve of the
action taken by the last legislature.
For many reasons they are pleased,
for they say that it will have a good
effect on their schools. Where COM
paints had been expected from farm
ers living far from the schools, none
are heard The farmers seem to re-
alize. as we'll as the teachers, the good
resulting from the new act.
The improvements in the public
school system will soon be marked,
say the superintendent. Larger
schools mean larger classes and larg-
er classes mean better instructors.
Money which has been divided among
the many teachers of the county can
now be used in making the salaries
more attractive for nigh class of in
structors. By increasing the size OF
the schools and the number of teach
ers it will also be possible to have
longer recitation periods, thus giving
each study more attention.
Patrons seem to BIZ willing to do
their part of the work in bringing
their children longer distances TO
school. The fact that several schools
of the state had not been opened I'M
til the new law went into effect shows
just how popular it has proven.
