AN EDUCATIONAL CENTER.

Hammond Is getting to be some
thing of an educational center of
late. Only recently the federal
bureau of education commented on
the fact that Hammond has the larg-
est public night school in the state
of Indiana outside of Indianapolis.
Hammond believes in utilizing the
equipment Of its public school sys-
tenn as many hours of the day as
possible and hence the encourage
ment of night study. 1t reduces the
cost, per capita, of educating the
community.
Then Hamonmd has its parochiaI
schools which are uniformly Of a high
character. In these a religious train
ing is added to the other during the
impressionable years Of a child's life.
Then the Lincoln-Jefferson College
of Law with its splendid building on
South Holman street is a credit to
the city. Run in connection with
this is the Calumet institute, a cor
respondence school one of the largest
in the country.
The Hammond branch of the Chi
cago Business College is one of the
most fiourishing institutions in the
city. 1t has several hundred students
in the curse of a years and gradu-
ates a great many high grade busi-
ness men and women
About all the city needs is a col
lege or a university to make its edu-
c~ational facilities complete. And it
is not out of the question to locate
M of these. Hammond would be
just the place fr a large technical
school.
1t is a part Of what is soon to be
the worlds workshop and as such il
will need scores of mechanics of {
high order. A school that would pro
duce them would be a great benefr
to the community.

JUST FOR A HANDFUL OF SILVER

There is a popular notion that in
ventors. poets. musicians, scientists.
statesmen and men of scholarship,
have no brains for money-getting.
The fact that such men are generally
poor and often i%mprovident seems to
prove the statement. But does it?
Is 1t not possible. and even probable,
that such great men as Martin
Luther, John Milton, Shakespeare.
Shelley, Burns, Keats, Dickens, Hugo,
Handel, Mozart, Wagner. Raphael.
Newton. Stevenson. Edison, Marconi.
Lorenz, Gladstone. Lincoln and Nc
Kinley could have been Rockefellers,
Carnegies. Morgans and Armours if
the accumulation of a fortune had
been a more desirable thing to them
than their better service of mankind?
Is it not conceivable hat Theodore
Roosevelt, if he had gone into the
life insurance business, could have

ADDITIONAL COURT FACILITIES.

The number of cases that are being
filed still exceeds the number that
are being disposed of in the courts of
Lake County. This means that adj
d~itional court facilities will have to
be provided.
In most communities the court
business is so centralized that when
the business expands to the proper
tions it has reached in this county
each court Is assigned to a particular
class of litigation.
Lake County now has four courts;
three superior and one %circuit. Fol-
owing the usual plan the business
would be so divided that one court
would handle criminal business ex-
clusively, another probate work and
the rest civil matters.
Under the present arrangement all
of these courts have criminal probate
and civil settings. If another court
were to be established In Lake Coun.
~ it too would be assigned to its
share of the great variety of litiga-
tion hat arises here.
1t is to- be regretted hat the courts
OF the county are not now all concen
trated in one central location. Ii
Cook county, for instance, all Of thu
courts are located in n building il
Chicago.
Imagine the work that would re
suit for the lawyers of that city i
they were compelled to go to Soutl
