new work IN eheir-nea6s and a 1871 or
the books they need in their hands.
After q period OF educational de-
preston the scholar factories will re-
sumo and the product this year is ex-
already set, and more numerous than
ever.
It will take eighty-one school ma'ams
to handle the output this year and they
will have to work as they never work
ed before to hold down their jobs.
In addition to an active and progress
sive superintendent In C. Nd. Mcdaniel,
and the young and energetic principal
of the high school in Frank McElroy.
who comes well recommended, there
has been the new office of supervising
principal created. which viii be hsld
by Prof w. A. Hill, man who has
devoted many years Of his life to the
local schools and has done much to
raise them to their present high stand
ard
Factor in Social Life.
Under these men will be the prin-
cipals and the host OF girls whose one
absorbing ambition will be to teach
the young idea how to shoot. Girls?
OF course they are girls. Full of life,
energy and enthusiasm for their work.
When the school teachers come they
will leaven the entire social life Of
the city and their influence will be felt
in every line of social activity.
Hammond is peculiar in that the
school teachers ind this city a pretty
good place to lay up a penny. but In
the summer they go off on vacations
in a hundred different parts of the
country Most of them find their way
back. but some OF them wander away,
never to return.
This year the mysterious disappear
ance includes three of the best known
teachers In the schools. Miss Starr
was the flrst, Miss Bessie Ripley was
the second. and then, at the last mo-
ment, Miss Gertrude Stamp turned up
missing.
Finds Many Recruits.
But Supt. Mcdaniel is rapidly finding
recruits and the ranks are rapidly be-
ing refllled. The only other teachers
out of the eighty-one who have de-
cided during the vacation months that
they will not return to Hammond to
teach are Miss Van Auken and Miss
Honeyman.
During the past three months there
have been more improvements made
in the local schools than in any one
year before. In the central school the
necessity for making more room re-
suited in turning Supt. McDaniers Of
fee into recitation room.
His office was moved to the third
floor in the rear of the auditorium
where he is in cramped but comfort
able quarters. The dressing rooms in
the rear of the stage have been con
verted into recitation rooms for the
bookkeeping and stenographic depart
ments.
The old hot air heating plant has
been torn out and in It's place the
| building is to be heated by steam
| This will be a decided improvement
and will put an end to the trouble
which has been found with this sys.

New Fire Escapes Installed.
The new FIRE escapes which have beer
installed on both sides of the build
ing are an assured success and are
/ now ready for any emergency. he,
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1908-09-05

will make the central building one OF
the safest in the state. The new fire
escapes are a novel circular slide
which take the students quickly and
safely to the ground.
The new building, known as the
Wallace school,, which Is located at
the corner OF Conkey and Calumet ave-
nues, will be ready for occupancy and
Will be one OF the best equipped in the
city.
Although the school officials have
no money with which to build the
much-needed manual training high
scool building, the superintendent and
the members of the board of education
are working on plan which they hope
will enable them to get hold Of the
necessary money.
1t may be reasonable to expect that
within two years Hammond will be
provided with a manual training high
school building that will be the equal
of any in the state 1t is possible that
an enabling act will be introduced in
the Legislature this winter.
Manual Training Introduced.
In the meantime, manual training is
idly as the inadequate facilities will
permit. In the Franklin, Irving, Riv-
erside and Lafayette schools bench
work has already been introduced. This
is a feature in which the people of
Hammond are deeply interested and
any progress along this line will meet
with the approval of all progressive
citizens.
The school work which is now recog-
nized as the equal of that in any
school in the state will be kept at
its present high standard and will
continue to be the model for many
other schools In the state.
Other Departments Active.
In the extraneous departments of
school activity, such the literary
societies. the work in oratory, music
and athletics will be good, but 1t is
almost too much to hope that the
school will have another such remark
able series of successes as it had last
year.
Another week and thousands of stu
dents will be engrossed in the activi-
ties of school life. The great educa-
tional institutions of the city will be
In full operation, and even If the boy
does balk at the first of this years
SCHOOL days, he will be happier and
better when he finally gets into it's
daily routine

ROMAN OR CLUH

Ion accoun, of my wite's Illness l cannot visi, Alaska this season. If the people wish to elect me I will serve them as before, but they alone must be the judgeI. This has been and is now my position p
 The above appears in the POst-Intel- ligencer of a recent date signed by Thomas Gale. Commenting on the message ,he Post-Iutelligencer, says:
 "Few men in Mr. Gales position have been faced with such political cir cums,anco as he is in at present. Early in June he started for the coast intend ing to begin bis campaign in Alaska. When oa the road he received word that his daughter Rose, who is living in Dakota, wanted him at her bedside. He responded to her call, and while there was asked to return to the bed side of bis wife ID Fond du Lac, Wis. He had almost decided to withdraw from the race on account of disapPoint- lug bis friends by staying away from Alaska. but on the urgent request Of bis supporters declared his willingness to remain a candidate, providing his en- forced absence would give DO Ofeuse to his supporters in Alaska. Reports t,om the north indicate that Mr. Gale has a long lead over all his opponents in the contest"
 All this Is true and, taking MT. Gales words literally, the Alaskan repeats today what it said yesterday, that Mr. Gale, by placing himself so entirely in the hands of bis irienJs, allowing them to commit themselves to his cause and pip their faith to him on his own terms. forfeited his right 10 withdraw from the race at this time when it is too late to enter another in bis stead. The situation 50 far as MT. Gale is coDcerned, has not changed, as set forth above. His friends accepted this situation aud were willing 10 take their chances with him just as the matter stood. But, waiting to time too late for them to act as they might otherwise have wished to, Mir. Gale has withdrawn and left his friends without recourse. Roman and Cum remain as the only alternatives.

PARKER THE ARCH BLUNDERER

Nsary all the newspapers of the couutr, democratic and republican alike, arc now roasting Alton B. P rE. CT as being rhe prize blundersr of the late convention. The text of the rOIst Is taksn f-om Mir. Parker's resolutions of sulg-y oG.rel before that body in behalf of Mir. Cleveland, in which the dead ex-presiden, was made 10 serve as a vehicle for an indirect slam at Bryan, the prime iayorite. Many of the things said were deemed most untrmeIy aI best, since they formed practical withdrawal o' many other things that had been said of the great democrat at former times.
 The relation of Mir. Parker to the Denver convention must have offered him a strisiug object lesson as to the mutaoility of politics. At the St. Louis convention even the Stupendous bluu- d .ring he there committed could not hold oil the land slide in his favor, with Bryan serving as the fire brand to op- pose it too. A. Denver Judge Parker tried to buck the Bryan land slide but his fire brauding only served as a slight hiss ln a surging tide.
