Crown Point. Ind. Jan. 6.-The ap-
preparation of $4,000 by the county

acre tract of land south of the fair
gro3nds will set at rest the matter of
the future ownership of the beautiful
wooded grounds. as they will now be
made over to Lake county proper as
It's one. beautiful natural park The
buying of the tract comes like a spe-
cial gift to Crown Point. as it Is close
within her confines, and although the
county seat will not exercise any more
privileges than other communities in
Lake county over the grounds. Their
perpetuation as a park grounds will be
the means OF adding much beauty and
enhancing the value of Crown Point as

purchase is therefore especially pleas

ahead and sue under the dramshop act.
This course of action was advised by

Washington. Jan. 6.-For years edu-
Gators have been seeking method by
which the high schools of the natioa
might be filled up. 1t has remained for
Philander P. Claxton. United states

or perhaps II would be better to plac
credit where 1t is due, and yield the
honor to William c. Reavis. the youth

One of the most discouraging fea-
lures of public school work as now con-
Quoted is the tendency Of so many of
the pupils to drop out after finishing
the grammar grades failing to con-
tinue the pursuit of education into the
high school. How to remedy this obvi-
Gus weakness of the system has long
been a puzzle to DR. Claxton.
All Go to High School.
Then it came to the learned cars of
the commissioners that out in Oakland
City Ind. for three consecutive years,
one hundred per cent of the grammar
school pupils--every last one of them
have continued right on, after gradua-
tion, in to the high school.
DIR. Claxton gasped with surprise.
then packed his grip. BY nightfal of
toward Oakland City.

From that young man he acquired the
valuable information which he now
means to incorporate in suggestions for
radical changes in school methods
throughout the country.
