DOMESTIC SCIENCE
COURSE Is WANTED
Move On For This at the Gar
field School.
1T WOULD BE VALUABLE.

The committee on general exercises
of the Garfield school council has re-
commended that a course in domestic
science be added 10 the course of
study for the girls. II was thought
it might be substituted for a portion
of the course in sewing. The council
approved the recommendation by a
unanimous vote and will work hard
for its adoption. An elementary
course in cooking will exert a direct
influence on the home life and be OF
most practical value. Nearly all of
the pupils of the city pass through
the Garfield school. If the course is
adopted it will reach a larger per cent
of children here than would be posi-
BILE at any other school in the city.

time on the board of trustees of Earl

his home at 2607 Ashland avenue, will
be laid to rest Monday afternoon in Il
lot which he purchased in 1864 at the
time Crown Hill cemetery was laid out
and which up to this time has remain
ed unbroken.
In 1864, the next year after he came
to indianapolis, Mr.. Pyle was prese1
at the first Crown Hill auction and
with many others bought burial plac-
es. Gradually the other reserve plats
sold at that early day have been filled
with mounds and tombs and the Pyle
lot alone has remained without mark
of sorrow.
William L. Pyle, sterling business
man, and one of the leading workers
of the Friends church for forty years,
died yesterday morning at the age of
- of septic poisoning. Two weeks
ago while walking on the street near
Kentucky and Senate avenues he fell,
striking his knee against curbstone.
This injury developed into an alb
seess which ultimately caused his
death.
Aside from his church work, Mr..
Pyle was identified with the interests
of Earlham college. having for many
years been a member of the board Of
trustees. He was also member of the
board of trustees of the Colored Or

After May | the Patrolmen of
The City Will Receive
$40 per month.
BETZOLD ALSO PROFITS.
OWING TO THE CRiMPED coNDl.
TION OF THE MUNICIPAL PURSE
CITY OFFICIALS ARE NOT TICK
LED TO DEATH.

Did you notice the SNUG contented
expressions on the countenances OF
the patrolmen of the Richmond police
force? They have been wearing it all
day.
Friday evening at the monthly
meeting of the board of police com
missioners the subject of increasing
the salaries of the patrolmen, patrol
driver and Second Sergeant Betzold
came up and after some discussion ii
was voted To increase the salaries OF
the patrolmen and patrol driver Liv-
elsberger from $50 to $40 per month
and to raise the salary of Sergeant
Betzold, the veteran and efficient
night sergeant, from $65 to $75 per
month.
The salary increase goes into ef-
feet the first of May and on May 81
the policemen affected by the change
will receive their first checks with
the SO increase. First Sergeant Nc
Manus will still continue to receive
$75 per month for his services and
Chief Bailey will continue to collect
his $1,000 per year.
News is not Pleasing.
The decision of the police board to
boost the salaries of the police officers
is not the best of news to the city
officials. Mayor Schillinger, his cabi-
net and the city council do not favor
this plan on account of the crimped
condition of the municipal purse,
which is not broken but badly bent.
However, the power of the police
board under the metropolitan law is
supreme so far as the police depart
ment is concerned and if the police
commissioners rule that the patrol
men receive increased salaries ii is
up to the city officials to obey the
edict, even if the city hall has to be
sold to meet the expense. The com
advanced the police Off
GERS salaries for the reason that de-
sirable men can not be secured or re-
tanned on the force under the scale of
wages which has been in effect for
some time.
Friday evening the resignation of
Edward Stein, appointed to the force
about two weeks ago, was rendered
to the commissioners and was accept
ed. No appointment was made to fill
the vacancy made by Mr.. Stems res
ignation.

The amount reported today for the
Y. NJ. G. A. is a great impetus toward
the realization of the ultimate amount
desired as it will tend to bring the
general average for each days work to
the $1,000 standard set for each days
work. During the week $4, ,539 has
been raised by the different commit
tees, which means that the campaign
has begun to advance at rapid strides
that they have only a short time in
which TO secure an association.
Today's Pledges Good.
Today's pledges were of the size
which are sorely needed, one being
given which amounted to $500. An
other man who had already made a
$500 pledge TO the cause, decided that
he had better raise that amount and
pledged $500 more, making total of
$500 for him. Another man who
pledged $500 to the work, and who by
no means is overburdened with finan-
cial goods, raised his subscription to
s40o. The spirit manifested toward
the working committees today. was
more friendly and they met a cordial
greeting. Things have begun to take
on a more favorable appearance. but

II the opinions voiced at the meet

ate wards by the city council. The
meeting held Friday night was a rous-
er from the point of enthusiasm.
George Matthews was authorized to
circulate a petition among the resi-
dents of West Richmond, fayoring the
division and this probably will be pre-
sented to the city council at its Iext
meeting The opinion on the West
Side. both in West Richmond and in
Fairview, is practically unanimous in
favor of the move. The Fairview
civic league placed its stamp of ap-
proyal on the plan at its meeting
Thursday night when it likewise au-
thorized petition among the people
OF Fairyiew.

The geographical situation west of
the river is of such nature that tn
two divisions of the city are separat-
ed and one knows little of what the
other is doing. although the same
councilman represents both in the city
government 1t is and has long been
thought that the population alone, IL

The school board has notified City
