Celebrate Riley Day.

On the theory that no young man
can effectively court a maid without
reciting the poems of James Whitcomb
Riley in the full of the moon with the
accompaniment of snowbirds, Arthur G.
Deaver, superintendent of the West
Hammond public schools, is schooling
all the ambitious fellows of his high
school in the works of the Hoesier
poet.
They are celebrating Riley day at
the Wentworth school this afternoon
and are doing the occasion thorough
credit. Though West Hammond is in
Illinois Riley is a prime favorite. From
the intermediate grades to the high
school the children are being schooled
in literature. They will take up Eu-
gene Field next.
