An investigation showed the explo'

on board. The victims were either
burned to death or seffocated. SO ter

President R. L. Kelly, of Earlham
college, has received a number OF re-
sponses from high school educators
in the state, approving of his scheme
to give regular academic credit for
Bible study done in the schools. The
state board of education, of which
President Kelly is member, is sound
ing the sentiment of superintendents
of schools and high school teachers
on the departure.
Superintendent Giles, of the Rlch-
mond schools, has addressed lSIter
20 President Kelly. in which he ap-
proves heartily of the step and voices
his cooperation in the introduction OF
the scheme in the local schools.
In the meeting of the board of edu-
cation in indianapolis this week, the
sentiment was expressed that there
should be some way devised whereby
the public school pupils might have a
chance to study the Bible, if they so
desire The board decided upon three
proposition for installing such a plan
in the public high schools of the
state.
What Plan Is.
The plan is. First-The state board
of education has prepared a suitable
syllabus for Bible study using the
North Dakota syllabus as a model:
second-that superintendent and
principals throughout the state have
favorable attention called to this syl-
labus and the method here in recon-
mended of carrying it into effect;
third-in case the authorities of high
school take favorable action upon the
use of the syllabus. that they shall al
low all students, who so elect to pur-
sue the course as outlined.
1t was not expected that this study
will be carried on in the high school
buildings. The work of instruction is
intrusted to parents, Sunday school
teachers, ministers and other inter
ested friends of the boys and girls.
i At stated intervals the high schoo
authorities will set examinations upor
the work, mark the papers and aware
credit. 1t is recommended that not tt
exceed one-half unit of elective credit
! be allowed for this work, and in case

animation set by the high school on
this work, he will be excused from
the appropriate amount or -work IN
other elective subjects. A class may
take as much time as il pleases to nm
ish the work, but it is expected that AT
least ninety hours of recitation work
be placed upon a course leading to
half unit of credit 1t is recommended
that in the examination questions, the
literary and historical value. not the
theological value, of the Bible be en-
phasized.
- Bible AS Text Book.
The only text book recommended
nv this hoard is the Bible itself, and
any version adopt ed by the class will
be acceptable to the board. The object
of the work is to acqL1lnt students
with the rich literature OF the Scrip
ture.
With the above suggestions NPresl-
i dent Kelly sent to all high school pri
cipals in the state six questions con
cerning their opinion on the PROPOSE
ton. The questions are:
Do YOU consider it advisable to at
tempt a coordination of the work or
the home the church and the school
along this fundamental line?
/ Do you believe the plan proposed is
workable in some of the communities
of the State?
! Do you believe the plan proposed
would fit conditions in your own COM
munity?
Do you see serious objections to this
plan?
What do you consider its advan-
tages?
Do you have better plan to pro-
pose for instructing our youth In the
literature of the Scripture?
In addition to this method of sound
ing public opinion, President Kelly
will give an address, explaining the
plan in detail. before the meeting OF
the city and town superintendent OF
schools, which will be held in Indiana
polls, November s. By that time it is
believed the people will have formed
an opinion as to the matter and action
may be taken with intelligence.

January l Believed Date for
Opening of General
Activities.

Manufacturing activities will be re
sumed at the Richmond plant of the
NJ. RumeIy company with the begin
ming of the coming year. according to
information emanating from the main
officers of the company, and received
in this city.
According TO the plans of the com
pany, the Richmond plant will be used

Iers and corn shredders exclusively
for the entire NJ Rumely line. Ex-
perts are now at work designing new
plans for the improvement of the
Rumely shredder which. when perfect
ed. is expected to become one of the
most popular machines of its kind on
the market.
To Reopen Plant.
While the arrangements for the es-
tablishment of this end of the com
pany's manufacturing lines are still far
from perfected. there is every assur-
ance that the Richmond plant will be
re-opened for manufacturing purposes
lust as soon as the arrangements can
be made.

Prior TO that time the city paid Tor
the lighting of the streets and public
buildings, just as il would have done
if the city did not own the plant.
An Unfair Practice.
Under the present arrangements no
street light, or lighting OF public build
ings is being paid for. which is mani
festly unfair TO the patrons OF the city
light plant as il means a higher
charge for current to such consumers
than would be necessary II the in
creased revenue from that source was
available.
The question that arises is, where
does the injustice come in? Where
would the money come from to pay
for the lights without an increase in
the tax rate?
These are fair and honest questions
and are entitled TO fair and honest re-
plies.
The Injustice is in this fact, that
| il compels a part of the people to pay
for protection and benefits enjoyed by
ALL.
! In Richmond there are approximate
ly six thousand homes. Supposing
! five thousand of that number use cleo
tricity as a means of illumination. Two
thousand FIVE hundred of that 5000,
uses the city's current, while the re-
manning $500 use the current of the
Light, Heat and Power company.
Where unfairness 10.
The street light affords protection
to the patrons of the Light. Heat and
Power company just in the same pro-
portion that II does to the consumers
of the city's electric current, but by
the city's refusal TO pay for the street
lights, and for the lighting of public
buildings. the patrons of the city plant
are the ones that bear the entire bur
den of cost in furnishing protection
afforded by public lighting.
To put il another way: suppose my
next door neighbor used the light OF
the l.. II. and p. Co. while / use the
city's current. I must pay my neigh
boris proportion of the cost OF the
ligh. on our corner as penalty for be-
ing loyal to our municipal enterprise,
What Pro Rata Cost 10.
The cost of our street lights divided

: mond, would mean a charge of Sc
, cents per head for every man. woman
and child in the city. Under the pres
. ent plan il means a charge of $500 pei
head for the families of those who use
: the city light.
