SUMMER

For Many Cities in the
State; Supt. Greenhouse
Makes Timely Sugges-
tions for Work.

While other cities in the state are
still trying to solve the summer school
problem, superintendent C. NJ. McDan-
lei of Hammond and Principal f. d.
McElroy of the Hamomnd high school
are doing some effective work here. In
this respect Hammond is far ahead of
some other Indiana cities, and c. A.

public instruction. is busy going over
the state advising with the local SUI
perintendents to get summer schools
started.
Summer school Is an institution of
several years standing in Hammond.
Practical Suggestions.
Mr.. Greathouse says that under no
circumstances would he seek to have
the regular school course continued
through the twelve months. but that
he would have the months now idle. as
far the public schools are concern

pills who have failed to make passing
grades during the regular school year
and then they should be taught for
only the half day.

.OLO ARLINGTON IS
TO Be new HOTEL
Extensive Improvements Are
Under Way at Well
Known Hostelry.

For the first time in the history Of
the city. Richmond will have . good
European plan hotel when our pro-
ject for remodelfng the Arlington hotel
is completed in the first part OF
March," said r. F. Pickrow, manager
of the hotel, today. In commenting ON
the improvements which are to make
the Arlington thoroughly modern
hostelry.
Extension of the lobby will be the
most prominent feature Of the altera-
tions. according to the managers q
statement. The new lobby will occupy
its present site and a large share of
the old dining room. making it probably
three times the existing size. The ex-
treme southern end of the dining room,
which will not be used for the new
lobby. will be turned into lounging
and writing rooms. This will allow the
into a lunch room. and the tonsorial
establishment placed in what is now
the writing room.
A large cafe with q seating capacity
of over a hundred will be installed In
the southeastern section OF the main
floor.
In addition to re-arranging the main
floor. the management will overhaul
the sleeping apartments, and will
add nearly q dozen bed rooms. Every
room will be furnished with q private
phone, fixed SO that service can be OBJ
tanned either between the different
rooms, or with the remainder Of the
city.
To care for the new hotel, which is
expected to be in operation shortly
after the first of next month. an in
creased staff OF help will be required.
The large cafe will employ a number
of additional walters, while other de-
partments of the hotel will also need
more men.
