Harold Cotton. the marine operator
OF the CarpAthia. did not 60 to bed
at his usual time Sunday night, and
AZ result caught the first message of
the Tttantc's plight. He had been re-
laying messages to the Titanic on Sum
day night, and shortly after IL O'Clock
bade the Titanic good night.
Just az he was about to taxa the
receiver OF his head the c. @. D. call
sounded. This was followed by the
words We've hit something; come at
once.''
Cotton at once communicated with
the Carpathia's officers and her course
was at once changed in the direction Of
the Titanic at full speed of eighteen
knots for the full distance Of sixty
miles Intervening between the two
ships.
"pM. AFRAID WE. ARE COME"
Before Cotton could make reply ia
the G. Q. D. tho Titanic's TIN afraid
we are gone" Cotton sent word Of the
coming Of the Carpathia. No further
communication was had with the
doomed ship.
The THAMES speed Of twenty three
knots an hour was never slackened,
and she was going at that speed when
she struck.
S. V. silverthorne OF st. Louis was

PRACTICAL EDUCATION.

The way from the kindergarten
straight through the college has been
smoothed out to the disadvantage of
the way which the vast majority.
fully 80 per cent, take, straight into
industrial work.
This is the kernel of the argument
in favor of vocational schools in the
report of the commission on indus
trial and agricultural education of
which F. D. McElroy of Hammond Is
a member
For years educators have been pre-
JUDGED in favor of the classical edu-
cation. They have declared that
Greek, Latin and certain courses in
higher mathmatics disciplined the
brain and made more efficient work
ers of college graduates.
And while they were saying it the
fact was being demonstrated that
nearly as many men with a common
school education and practical train
ing succeeded as the college bred man
And when this fact was point out
to the visionary high school teacher
or college professor he replied
There is something more important
in this world thar mere bread win
ming. There is something in delv-
ing into the recorded thought of the
ancients, in mastering dead
language, in knowing the names OF
the stars and how many billion mites
they are from the EARTH And they
went on with an impassioned plea
along those lines, in favor OF the
classical education.
And the practical world, which
was too engrossed in the work Of
making good, did not question the
wisdom Of the wiseacres. And sc
millions upon millions of dollar:
have been spent on educational frills
And while we contemplated tn,
beauties of the higher education
ninety percent of the students In tn,
public schools were quitting afte
the eighth grade and going into tn,
trades. 1t is safe to say that half o
the outlay for education in Indian;
has been wasted.
And now the commission on indus
trial and agricultural education,

INTOXICATION OF SUCCESS.

idea.

A PERSPECTIVE.

Last nights love feast coupled
with the harmony tendencies of the
past few days indicate a better out
look for the republican situation in
Gary.
Tom Knots may be beaten If the
get-together movement on the part of
the republicans continue. He has
made too many enemies in his own
party to hope for harmony. Gary
wasn't carried by The democrats in
the November election and the
patch the seat of Knots power
left the democratic party running a
poor third in the last campaign.
Too many property owners, smart
ing under high assessments, are
ready to vote against Knots and the
contracting gang.
