ARB0R AND BIRD
DAY NOT OBSERVED
Schools Held Exercises Last
April When Noted Men
Delivered Addresses.

Arbor and bird day will not be OBJ.
served in this city tomorrow. The
reason is, according to Prof. John r.
Thompson, head of the biological de-
partment of the high school, that the
| state has set apart two days for the
observance of Arbor day and that the
| first day, April "a, is more suitable for
| this community.
On April "a last, Charles w. Fair
banks, former vice president of the
United States, and Prof Coulter. OF
Purdue university, were here. They
spoke in all the city schools, where
exercises were held.
Charles A. Greenhouse, state super
intendent Of public instruction, has
sent out the following message to
school children in the state:
To the Children of Indiana:
Have you ever thought how desolate
| this world would be if there were no
trees, no plants, no shrubs, no flowers,
no birds? Nature has been kind to
| us in her wise and generous provis-
|
our constant cooperation to preserve
| them. For we, in our eagerness to
| build great towns and cities with won.
derfud factories and immense store
| houses, have so narrowed the habitat
of these valuable things that Nature
| is no longer able to provide them free
| ly and must look to men and women
and children all over the civilized
world for aid.
| October twenty-fifth has been set
aside for the rendering of such serv'
ice in the State of Indiana, and l am
asking you, the children of this com
monwealth, to assist in all the ways
you can.
| Will you not plant seed, shrub, q
| flower a tree?
Will you not help to clean the alleys
and streets, the grounds about your
home and your school?
Will you not encourage your com
panions to join you in this work?
Will you not promise yourself, q,
that you will never in the future heed
lessly mar or destroy useful plants ant
trees; ca that you will work to pre-
serve every living thing; CD that no
only October 25th and special day.
shall be dedicated by you to the serv
ice of Nature, but every day in thu
year?
BY the avowed and careful observ
ance of such principles you will no
only add to the beauty of our own fai
State of Indiana, but you will con
tribute to the prosperity of this grea
Republic.
, Faithfully yours,

High School Attendance Has
Doubled Because of In
dustrial Training.

Miss Kiturah Parsons gave an in
teresting and comprehensive address
before the Women's Progressive
League last evening ON the subject of
Continuation and Industrial Schools. "
Miss Parsons, who is member of
the local high school faculty and who
has been in New York the past few
years where she studied conditions in
this country and certain continental
nations in these phases of educational
activity, pointing out the superiority
of the German system of industrial and
continuation schools.
while the methods applied to diff
fuse industrial education vary greatly
in the different countries in Europe
said Miss Parsons, 1.-The aim is uni
versally the same, namely, increase Of
industrial, intellectual, civic and moral
efficiency of the industrial worker.
"In Germany, Switzerland, Den
mark, Sweden, Austria and Belgium,
industrial training has been well work
ed out and far in advance of our own.
Germany has, at present, the most
comprehensive system of any indus
trial country and today Germany is
one of the strongest competitors for
International trade in the worlds mar
kets, SURPRISING the United States, in
spite of our Incompatible natural re-
sources.
believing that labor, to be efficient,
must be intelligent and with their usu-
al faith in the good effect of strict dis
cipline that characterizes all German
institutions, the German government
conceived the idea of compelling all
those below eighteen years, who had
not finished their school education, to
attend school for a few hours each
week. This was accomplished through
what is called Continuation Schools"
Stating that there are many places
in this country where continuation and
industrial schools are being conduct
ed, Miss Parsons said:
'In many of the smaller cities and
towns night schools. and, in few
places, summer schools, are conducted
under the regular public school sys-
tenn In our own state Gary, Ham
mond, Bluffton and Indianapolis might
DC CltSu
"In our local high school," said Miss
Parsons, I'VE have about 600 pupils
and approximately 800 are doing some
form of industrial work, sixty of these
being in the straight industrial course,
junior and senior years. Practically
one-half of this years graduating class.
will be commercial students.
"Mr. Nusbaum compiled some statis-
tics last year, and, among other things,
found this to be true-that within the
last fifteen years, the enrolment In
this city has remained practically the
same, but the high school attendance
has doubled. And one reason he gave
for this was the enrichment of the
course of study"
The paper was generally discussed.
Mrs. Foulke, later, deplored the hab-
it of malicious gossip, pointing out its
sometimes terrible effects as in the at
tempted assassination of Roosevelt.
Further collections for the national,
state and county Progressive cam
paign funds were reported at this
time.

had marked "beeutiful'' tree for San
ia Claus to bring to them.
So Mrs. Loring wrote the letter to
Santa Claus and the very next morn
ing went over to the Moore place to
apologize for BObbinel's intrusion and
to assure the judge that she could not
permit him to sacrifice his handsome
spruce for one girls Christmas.
But Judge Moore had a viii of his
own and a most winning manner, aid
it did not take him long to convince
Mrs. Loring that the pleasure was all
on his side of the stone wall.
Perhaps you will permit me to call
on Christmas morning and see the
tree? That viii be the greatest re-
ward" He smiled down at her, and
Edith Loring found herself telling him
they would be very glad to see him.
The judge walked to the gate with
the lovely young widow, and Bobbinel
was delighted when she found that
her mother would put no objection in
the way of Santa Claus bringing the
coveted tree.
1T was a wonderful Christmas for
Bobbinel Loring. When Judge Moore
called on Christmas morning to see
the tree he discovered several large
and interesting packages behind the
tree, where Bobbinel had supposed she
had searched before.
Perhaps the following Christmas
was the most wonderful for all three
of them, for Bobbinel found herself
living at the Moore house next door,
with whole grove of trees to choose
from, while people called her mamma
''NTrs. Moore" and called the judge "a
lucky fellow"

I'm very glad to see you" plpeu
Bobbinel with her best company man
ner.
Judge Moore started and looked
down at. the small red coated figure,
beside which the setter stood wagging
a friendly tail.
"Why, Red Riding Hood, I'm glad
to see you too He smiled down at
her, and Bobbinel wondered why peo-
pie seemed afraid of such handsome
gentleman and one who had such a
deep, kind voice.
"Tm not Red Riding Hood, but 1
know all about her." returned Bobbi-
mel earnestly.
Judge Moore lifted his eyebrows in
mock surprise 'Wot Red Riding
Hood, eh? Well. you look just like
her, and my dog. Prince. looks very
much like the wolf
Bobbiners dimples showed in an ap-
preciative smile.

trees" she said without further intro
duction.

eyes, and / never had a Christmas
tree Bobbinel could not suppress
the longing in her tones.
"Never did," There was genuine
surprise in the judges tones now.
$50 you came to talk it over with me-"
eyes, please. You have SO many
trees right next to my house. They
are just like the trees in my picture
books and like the one at Sunday
school last year. Mother says 1 might
have one, only probably Santa Claus
knows we're quite poor and that he
thinks he has done very well to fill
my stocking. But a tree would look
so lovely in our parlor!'
"And you would like to have one of
my trees?" asked the judge kindly.
"Well, l thought maybe if you didn't
mind perhaps l could write to Santa
Claus and tell him if lie didn't have
a tree to spare for me you wouldn't
care if he took one from all those
pretty ones next door to my house"
'That's q splendid idea! Shall we
go and look at them now|
ooh. gOody! Let's" cried Bobbinel,
thrusting a warm red mittened hand
in the judges gloved palm.
"What is your name-your real
name?' asked the judge as they walk
ed toward the spruce covered hill.
''Bobbinel Loring."
"Bobbinel What an odd name for a
little girl
TT is two names" sighed Bobbinel.
IL had a little brother Bobby, but he
died, and father said that l must be
son and daughter now, so they called
me Bobbinel My own name is Nellie.
Father is with Bobby now, and So
there's only mother and me-"
"Oh," said the judge, and his hand
closed tighter on BobbineIs. "YOu
live in the little cottageY
"Yes, and mother teaches music"
They had reached the spruce grove
now and could look down upon the lit
tie gray cottage with a friendly wreath
of smoke curling from the chimney.
"That's where l i've" said Bobbinel
proudly.
Suppose we pick out a tree now, and
you can tie a ribbon upon it SO that
Santa Claus will know what one to
bring to you, eh?"
ooh, that will be perfectly loyely!
squealed Bobbinel.
Without a qualm Judge Moore select
ed his finest spruce for BobbinePs
Christmas tree. Gravely he united one
of the little girls red hair ribbons and
tied it to the tree.
'Now, he won't make any mistaken
she cried as they went back.
That evening Bobbinel told her moth
er the story of her adventure In the
Moore place and how the kind judge

Storing Christmas Presents

Flat dwellers in the big cities have
not the same facilities for storing their
Christmas packages that people enjoy
who live in houses. 1t is very hard to
conceal an intended present in a fiat.
For that reason drug stores. hotel
check stands, saloons and other like
places are used. If one does his Christ
mas shopping early and does not wish
to appear with the gift at his home
before Christmas eve he employs some
of these hiding places where the prying
eyes of wife or children may not dis
cover in advance the nature of the in
tended surprise.

Christmas Trees and Fires

So many fires have been started by
candles on Christmas trees that in
many states laws have been passed
against this form of illumination. In
those states where the practice still
prevails a hose or bucket of water
should be kept handy to put out any
blaze that may start. A very effective
substitute for the candles is furnished
by a system of tiny electric bulbs con-
nected with a few small storage bat
teries. AS these bulbs may be used
year after year the expense is not high.

ChriStmaC DeceptionC

In one sense Christmas is a sort OF
game which the grown ups play with
as much zest as the children. Santa
Claus is not the only deception. Every
body pretends to enjoy buying pres
ents and to be delighted with those
received from others. Yet these little
white lies are amiable and are for
given. let us be sure. because of the
spirit behind them. Besides, it is just
such innocent pretending that makes
social life possible and that keeps the
heart young.
