KAMMoND's PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Heretofore Hammonds pre-emi-
hence has rested mainly on it's geo
graphical location. 1t grew and pros
pered in the lap of good fortune, and
progress and opportunity were con-
sidered its just due. Railroads and
industries are considered its assets.
There is a possibility however that
the average Hammondite is overlook
ing another factor which of late
years has become SO vital. that it de-
serves to be ranked among the fore
most assets that the city has, namely
its public school system.
Without fear of successful contra
dietion, it may be stated that Ham
mond's school system today ranks
second to none in the state for eff
cheney, and at the rate it is progress
sing, it will not be long before edu-
Gators throughout the country will
point to this city as place where
new ideas in education are being
worked out.
The average person of today who
was drilled in the three RS in his
youth has no adequate standard of
his own by which to estimate the
modern system of education. He
takes for granted as being good what
he finds in the schools today and
trusts to level headed school board
and the reputation of the superin-
tendent. But no citizen of ordinary
intelligence needs to rely on anoth-
er's judgment as to the practicability
of the system, if he has but watched
the high spots that have been hit in
one short year. A resume of these
newest introduetions will emphasize
this
Within the past year there has
been introduced into the public
school system of Hammond domestic
science and domestic art. in plain
words, cooking and sewing Bench
work at which the boy works with
tools is part of the system, as is me-
chanical drawing. Play ground
equipments have been installed. Sc

school, opened recently. That it is
meeting the needs of the citizenship
IS evidenced by the fact that more
than seven hundred students are en-
rolled. Four school buildings art
open day and night owing to this sys

THE ERIE YARDS PROBLEM.

There is no more important prob
lem before the people Of Hammond
today than that of the elimination Of
the Erie yards. The time is ripe for
some mighty decided action on the
part Of the Chamber Of Commerce and
the neighborhood organizations of the
city
THE TIMES has it on good au-
thority that this is the last winter
that the Erie Coal Storage warehouse
in Hammond VIII be in use Next
spring the work OF constructing a
new concrete warehouse at Highlands
VIII begin.
This is the most important news
that has come out in some time for
the reason that it makes possible the
opening Of sohl street through to the
city limits and the creation Of a new
highway Of traffic
The removal Of the Erie yards is
also contemplated but this may not
take place far some time And when
it does take place the company may
decide to retain a small storage yard
here.
Now if the Hammond Chamber OF
Commerce takes hold Of this PROPOSE
ton now. directs a letter to the
proper railroad authorities pointing
out the Disadvantages to the city of a
yard which cuts the town in twain
shows that track elevation must fol
low if the streets are bIockaded with
dangerous crossings 1T ought to al
least receive some consideration.
The people in the vicinity of Car
roll street on Calumet avenue ara
anxious to have that street opened
through to Holman street. they
would become interested in the Ham
mond Chamber Of Commerce if they
thought that organization was doing
something to aid this project.
The GREAT BARRIER which sep
crates the eastern from the western
section Of Hammond must be removed
or in a few years Holman street vii
be picked up bodily and planted OF
Calumt avenue.

THE CAMERA DIDN'T LIE.

The great Roosevelt demonstra-
ton today. which brought $1,000
people to the stand on Washington
street, etc.-Gary Tribune.
There were not 5000 people 1T
the bull moose meeting. For that
matter the size of the crowd is
neither here nor there but there is
Photographic evidence to show that
there wasn't fourth of 5000
present.
Mr.. Crosse. the enterprlslng Gary
photographer, took a picture of the
crowd with his circular-panoram
camera, turning out huge picture
"A inches long and 10 inches high
It shows that the crowd stood v
shaped with a greatest length Of 200
feet and a greatest width of 100 feet
increasing in size as the speakers
stand was reached
The people in the crowd are visible
enough to afford a pretty fair count
In the south half Of the crowd tbs
heads of some l 200 are to be seen,
in the north half some 2,400-a tota
of 1900.
Reporters may err in their count
but the camera does not.

TEMPERATURES NEEDED.

Good citizens no matter what their
political observations will deplore the
shooting of Theodore Roosevelt by a
crazy man in Milwaukee last night
They viii wish for him a speedy re-
coyery. It is one of the faults of our
political system that it breeds cranks
and dementia. And yet too many of
our politicians and public speakers
go about the country hurting vitrtolic
charges at each other stirring up the
weak-minded, the poorly-balanced
until their perverted and fanatical
wits are reused to frenzy. Mr.. Roose-
Welt himself has been accused OF
using the most Incorporate language.
He has gone from one end of this
country to the other denouncing
President Taft in so many words as
a liar, a crook and thief. His run
ming mate Johnson of California has
compared President Taft to BENEDICT
Arnold and other traitors.
These things are worthy Of the
grayest consideration and deepest
thought. They killed Lincoln, they
assassinated a Mckinley.

cation of the trusty hazel switch, If

Hammond schools with the aid of
special teachers. And who ever

so-ealled good old days?" Within
the past year it has become part Of
the teachers work in Hammond The
cooperative education plan by which
the student spends half a day in the

modern education.
These extraordinary features. add
ed to curriculum. so adjusted that
it can be adapted to every child. and
systematic work under the direction
of a superintendent who is a practical
idealist, are putting the Hammond
school system to the front.
So when speaking of Hammond's
assets, do not forget to mention It's

The man at the head of it Charles
n Mcdaniel has sensed the educa-
tional needs of this community and
has shown well-balanced acumen and
forethought in filing it.

MISS adams ON A TANGENT.

Jane Adams whose work at Hull
House Chicgao's famous settlement
center has been such as to commend
it and make here a national figure
speaks tonight for the bull moose
ticket. Miss Adams work for
charity and philanthropy is notable
so her conduct in allying herself
with a political movement is singular
in the extreme. Does she intend by
her attitude to convey the idea that
only charity and philanthropy in this
country may be obtained by lining
up with the bull moose ticket?
Does she insist that there is neither
of these desirable things in either
the democratic or republican parties.
We believe that when the campaign
is over, Miss Adams will find that
her reputation as a charity worker
and philanthropist will not be at all
enhanced by her going up and down
the country making speeches for the
bull moose party. Politics and
philanthropy mix about as well as cod
liver oil and water. We believe that
the democrats and the republicans
have done about as much for Hull
House as has the bull moost party.

BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT.

Four years ago just after Roosevelt
had retired from the office OF presi-
dent of the United States the first
thing we looked for in the newspaper
was the financial page.
We wanted to know what the best
observers thought of the business
prospects. We were concerned be-
cause the Standard steel Car COM
pany did not get any orders. We
wondered why call money stayed
50 high. We asked our bankers,
anxiously. when they thought the
money market would get easier.
For about two years we lived in
this sort of an existence. We sub
sisted from day to day on the promise
based on folorn hopes, that the mills
would start up again
Public confidence had been shat
tered by the spectacle Of Theodore
Roosevelt welding the big stick over
this and that large business until
Wall street said he had gone crazy.
Theodore Roosevelt advocated
change He advocated it persistently
and unanimously. in day and out,
with the blowing of horns and the
clatter of drums He dinged it into
the ears of the people of the country
until they began TO be nervous That
nervousness destroyed credit and
panic followed
/ It was republican panic; there
is no question about that for Roose-
welt was responsible for it and he was
republican at that time But the
country knew that. 1t did not lay
it up against the party.
1t simply heaved a sigh when
Roosevelt was out Of Office and let il
go at that William H Taft was
| elected to the presidency Sanity and
reason replaced the three ringed
circus that had been going on a.
Washington all of these years.
Taft won the confidence of tht
/ business interests Of the country. Hc
won the confidence Of the men who
toll for they went back to work al
good wages
Vow the lesson to be learned from
' this experience is that business
abhors change. That IS radica
change. There was a radical chang
from the mild beloved Mckinley t
the rampant Roosevelt.
The election of Woodrow Wilson
would be even a more radical change
1t would mean that for four years TIL
threat Of free trade would held owe
the head of industry.
It means that the country woult
never know when the avowed tariff
for revenue only policy would lie
velop into a movement for the carry
ing out of that cherished democrats
: idea of free trade.
, Then the mills would close. none.
would become tight. business house
would fail, wages would be reduce
because Of the oversupply, crop
would be sold for less because Of tn
under-consumption and it would b
another case of 1898.
VIII we let well enough alone 0
will we aid and abet in the precipita
ton Of another democratic panic?
