Praise Gary Police.

The trip Of the board of police COM
missioners to Gary, Michigan City and
South Bend yesterday, in which trip
Messrs. Henoch, Hans and Tamlin
were accompanied by William Mem
Ike, was a very interesting and profit
able one. The members learned much,
and got many valuable ideas for use
when they install the new police sys-
tenn in Laporte.
In Gary the board found the best
and most up-to-date police system.
The Gary force has a 50-horse power
automobile patrol, which carries 25
people and which is capable of maxi
ing SO miles an hour. Chief Martin
has a force of 20 night officers and
about half that many day men. AT
night the police travel In pairs, and
| instead of travelling on the streets
| they travel the alleys most of the
| time-Laporte Herald.

COUNTY SUPT, HIGHWAY
RECOMMENDS BOOKS FOR PUPILS

Some of these like The Brook THE
Cloud 1.-The Water Lily" "A Spring
Morning." "Daffodils,' ETC., should be
learned by heart; others. like portions
of "Snowbound." ITO a Mountain Dali
sy.'' ITO Waterfowl Vision of Sir
Launfal." etc, should be read as occa-
sion prompts.
We should aim to leave uppermost
in the child's mind after talking over
one of these poems, that the poet sees
more deeply and truly into the heart
of things than other writers, and that
what he thinks or sees or feels must
be expressed, if he is a true poet in
beautiful form. Even if a boy does
not care particularly for the poem he
can be taught to see wherein the beau
ty lies and why it has lived so long
in the heart of the world.
some Of our memory selections are
demanded by our interest in history.
"Old Ironsides, THE American Flag"
Warren's Address,, ''Recessional,'
The Eve Before Waterloo" efcA as
well as short extracts from the speech i
/ es of noted Americans should form
part of the equipment of every class
that leaves the eighth grade and while
! the learning of such selections may be
more or less of bugbear to many
! boys and girls. after the task is once
done the recitation in concert is q
source OF pleasure.
1t Is presumed that pupils in the
| eighth grade should have very little
| trouble with the formal side of read
ing; Notwithstanding the technique Of
reading claims constant care and at
/ tention. Special drill exercises should
be given to secure clear enunciatiol
and correct pronunciation.
The selections in part three, Elson'
reader, offer splendid opportunity TO
emphasizing the advantages Of using
clear, forcible English. 1t will b.
found worth while to have parts o
the orations memorized.
Remember that excellence in teach
ing eighth grade reading lies not 4
telling pupil what you may thinl
a certain selection means, but rather i
that greater responsibility in teachin
what to read. Whose business is it t
help the child gain power Of choosin
literature with a keen discriminate
and with an appreciation and love 70
the best?

LETTER TO PETITIONERS

The following letter to THE TIMES
from the McIlroy Betting & Hose co.
in answer to the petition against the
location of the plant on the site which
has already been purchased is self-ex-
planatory. The letter is subjoined:

ITO the Editor,
LAKE COUNTY TIMES.
Hammond, Ind.
Dear Strive would like to explain
through the, columns OF your paper to
those petitioners who filed protest
against the city of Hammond granting
US a permit to erect building on our
property, which is situated on Truman
avenue, near the corner Of Sohl street.
In the petition referred to 1t is claim
ed that it is our intention to erect a.
belt factory on the property described
and that said factory would be obnox-
ious to the residents of that section
owing to chemicals used in the manu-
facture OF our betting. that disagree-l
able doors would arise. Was there any
truth in the allegation made by the Pc
tftioners they would be justified In fill
ing a protest, but they are absolutely
wrong In the manufacture of our
goods we use cotton duck. This duck
is Folded to certain widths and plies
and sewed together on an ordinary
Singer sewing machine 1t is then
treated by our secret process .saturating
1t with a solution made from mineral
rubber, one of the cleanest and most
healthful Of all pure carbon ores; no
odor whatsoever arises from 1t; there
are no chemicals used. In the manu-
facture of our hose we use nothing but
linen yarns, can you imagine anything
disagreeable about such material?
Believe Petitioners Misinformed.
The fact is that these petitioners
have been misinformed and we would
like to put them right before they pro-
coed further. For the satisfaction OF
the residents of that section who pro-
test to our building factory we give
below a copy of letter and signers rot
the letter are our neighbors in Chicago
ITO Whom Is May Concern.
