TEACHERS TO STUDY
DOMESTIC SCIENCE

Much interest Is being displayed in
the announcement concerning the be-
ginning Of the courses regularly given
by professors at Earlham College for
local school teachers and other per-
sons who care about educational work.
Already class in domestic science,
under Miss Elsie Marshall OF the Earl
ham faculty has been arranged for,
and large enrolment has been as
sured for 1t. All who are considering
entertaining one of these Earlham
classes are invited to attend the meet
ing In the office Of Superintendent
Mott, at the High School, next We'd
nesday afternoon at quarter after four
at which time 1t will be settled what
classes arc to be organized.
T. A. Mott. superintendent of the
Richmond public schools, has almost
completed the task of distributing the
pupils here in such a way as to pre-
vent over-crowding the schools. Only
one school remains in which there are
more students than can be handled by
the teachers in charge. This lone
case Is the Starr School. in which
there are few more pupils in one of
the lower grades than can be accom-.
modated. -

that letters shall be opened and read
before or after breakfast. and in this
decision the maid agrees with him,
but not the members Of his family.

there has been nothing quite so sue
cessful as the famous sultan of Fan

town received the following wire from
one Henry Lucas. Hotel Cecil. London:

Cambridge at 4:27 for a short visit.

The mayor rose to the occasion. and
in due course four dark complexioned
gentlemen with turbans and volumi-

chagrin they discovered few hours
later that the interesting orientals
were simply a quartet of undergrad

practical joke upon the town.-London

He was arrested by Isaac Winburn,

Maloy was intoxicated and took him
