GO TO SCHOOL HUNGRY
Chicago School Board Consider
ing Legality of Establishing
Lunch Counters For I'm
fortunate.

What can be lawfully done to
help the $4,000 school children
who daily go hungry is a prob
lem that is absorbing the atten-
ton OF the members of the board
of school management at Chica-
go today. Whether Lunch Coun-
tiers shall be put in the schools
where most OF the pupils go, or
whether some other means of pro-
viding them with nourishnert
must be found, is the question of
the school board is trying to
solve.
a special report made after
months OF investigation by Sup
erintendent Boderine, aided by
the special truant officers of Chi
cago says 5000 pupils daily go
to school without their breakfasts
hungry. An unusual number OF
cases OF truancy are directly eau
sed by hunger. 1t is estimated
that for $4,000 the city could es-
tablish and maintain for a year
lunch counters that would feed
these pupils. Whether the school
board has legal right to do this
is a question that its attorneys
will be asked to decide at once
Some measures will be quickly
adopted. school authorities de-
clare. to feed the hungry chill
children.

In his letter Mr.. Cotton devotes
some attention to the county sup
,rintendent. The appointment OF
'ounty superintendent by town,

moves this office further from

With the election by the people.
It is remarked. also that in recent

In regard to the office of State
Superintendent, Mr.. Cotton says
The State Superintendent of

1 perceptible tendency to attach
more Importance to the office and
% demand better qualifications on

give this official a longer tenure.
The present administration has
been in power for six years. 1t is
the first time for forty years that
one man has held the office for
three terms"
Discussing the present educa-
tional tendencies in Indiana, Mr..
Cotton says that the marked in
clination throughout the State is
toward industrial education and
the consolidation of rural schools.
The tendency toward consolida-

ter roads and better. facilities OF
travel and there is now a manifest
desire to provide for every coun-

WOMAN NEARLY
ROUTS SPEAKER
Oklahoma Democrat Stirs up
Hornets Nest When He
Sails Into Center Sex.

Hon. f. J. Giddings OF Okla
homa addressed a gathering OF
people at the Grand opera house
at Michigan City, Friday night
under the auspices of the Demo-
cratic committee. The Demo
cratic leaders were looking for a
man of mature years and expert
ence and SO they were greatly dis
appointed when a young man
showed up. In fact the young
man spent nearly all day around
town before he made himself
known to the party leaders. His
address was given over mostly to
knocking, for he devoted most of
his time to going after the Repub-
licans rather than explaining the
Democratic policies When he
started in to assailing the women
he let his foot Slip" with the re-
suit that he was counted down
and out. a woman arose in the
audience and propounded a few
questions to the speaker. He at
tempted to reply, but houndered
along SO much that he Disguised
even the Democrats. He finally
lost himself SO completely that he
had to tell the woman TO sit down.
1t developed afterward that the
woman is a Socialist who recent
ly came to Michigan City from
Chicago with the intention of liv-
ing there. She remained through
out the speech. but was Kissed by
the Democrats as she left the hall.
The speaker made no reference
to Governor Haskell.

SOCIETY WOMEN PIGGISH
Ethel Barrymore Declares Plague
r Could Wipe Out New York
| Without Loss.

Ethel Barrymore, the actress,
whose entree into the best social
circles in the United States and
England is undisputed, in an in
terview at St Louis, Mo, made
the astonishing declaration that
the most brainless, useless and
purposeless order of beings in
the world are the women who
constitute the elite society in this
country.
Women of wealth." she said
generally are more selfish, pig
gish, and utterly content with
comfortable living quarters, a
little polo or bridge, or a rapid
automobile or two They are en-
meaningless and useless in this
country. If plague were to
wipe out the entire society ele-
ment> in New York that city
would be none the worse for it
nor would they be missed. They
accomplish nothing and give
nothing to the world.
Miss Barrymore fastened to
add that she did not refer to the
great middle class, the working
or the accomplishing class, but
only to the so-called society girls
IF the lords and dukes and
marquises would only chose their
brides from the interesting mid
die class they would not be dis
appointed added Miss Barry
more. for these women are the
finest types we have made.
Never, never, will | marry the
son of a millionaire. The mill
ionaire would be bad enough,
but the son OF one never"
