Teacher Holds Mock
Fight to Test Glass
Accuracy Of Vision
Mixes With JanItor In Rough and
Tumble Engagement to Find Psy.
Geological Effect on Pupils.

LAWRENCE, KANS., June IA
When Professor F. C. Dockeray, in the
psychological department of the Uni
versity of Kansas, got into an alter
cation with a janitor who entered the
class room and insisted upon sweep
ing while Dockeray was lecturing, a
number of students came to his res
cue.
The affair grew into a free-for- an
light, during which the janitor. who
had drawn a revolver, was overpow-
cred and disarmed. AS q student
grasped the pistol a shot was fired.
As soon as order was somewhat re-
stored, and the frightened and fleeing
students reassembled, accounts were
taken from them of the affair. All
the students swore they heard tho
shot, and several told of seeing the
smoke from the revolver. Then Pro
lessor Dockeray told that 1t was an
experiment, a fight that had been
planned carefully, and that the shot
OF the revolver was from the outside
OF the building by a student posted
there. The purpose of the experiment
was to show the unreliability of in
formation, even when furnished by
eyewitnesses.

Tempered Copper
Found in Canada
ArachaeoIoeists viii Have 70 Deter.
mine Whether II Was Fashioned
BY Indians or Mound Builders.

FORT WILLIAM. ONT. June IA
A crude copper hook. beaten by hand
out of native copper and possibly of
prehistoric origin, was unearthed by
city workmen on the Stanley Avenue
sewer about 20 feet below the earth's
surface.
The hook is about seven inches
long, ana the loop of the hook proper
is two and a half inches in dame
ter Its sides are fiat, beaten four
square, and show the imprint of a
small flat-faced hammer, and,
though slender. the copper hook is so
exquisitely tempered that when bent
under pressure it Immediately springs
back into its original position like the
finest steel
II is unquestionably a relic of some
American aborigine, but whether 1t
was fashioned by an Indian or by his
predecessors, the mound builders, will
have to be left to the judgment OF
archaeological experts

KANSAS PLANS
To ABOLISH It's
ORPHAN HOMES
State Board of Control COnsid-
ers Scheme of Paying INDECENT
Mothers to Care for Them.

TOPEKA, KANS., June 14.-Kan-
sas may abolish its orphan homes
and Industrial schools, except for the
children actually without parents,
and it is proposed that in their places
the State pay the mothers to take
care of their own children.
The State Board of Control, the
governing body of eleven State char
liable institutions, has been making
a study Of the orphan homes and in
dustrial schools of Kansas and other
States, and the board is now ready to
present a definite proposition for the
use of these Institutions for other
purposes.
System Found Faulty.
1T has been believed by nearly
everyone interested in social welfare
that the thing to do with the children
of INDECENT parents was to put them
in a State home" said H c. Bow
man, chairman of the Board of Con-
troll There are a few bad boys and
girls that have to be taken care of,
but the majority OF the boys and girls
who become delinquent, incorrigible
and later develop into criminals are
victims of environment. They have
New Method Thought Cheaper.
1.-The State is interested in every
boy and girl and the State must see
that they are properly brought up.
This board is going to the next Kan
sas Legislature with the facts and
figures to show that it will be cheaper
for the State and better for the chill
dren to change the system. To main
tain the orphan homes and industrial
schools the State now owns costs IS a
week for each child. That, of course,
includes interest on the States prop
erty investment, The actual mainte-
nance expense is not quite so high
say about SO a week.
I'VE propose that instead of a child
being taken from its mother and sent
to a state institution that the State
pay the mother fer taking care OF
the child"

WOMAN OLDER
THAN ATLANTA
YET IN SCHOOL
Mrs. Emily Bandy, "a, Who Rode
Over Present Site of City, Is
Student in Tennessee.

JOHNSON CITY, TENN, June IA.
One of the most interesting students
who has entered for the summer term
at the East Tennessee State Normal
School is Mrs. Emily A. Bandy. of
Polk County. Mrs. Bandy was born
February rs, 1910. and is in her sew
enty- fourth year. She is enjoying the
best Of health and is very active and
buoyant and one of the most cheerful
and enthusiastic students enrolled.
Mrs. Bandy's maiden name was
Mangum. She was born at what is
now East Point, near Atlanta, and at
the time of her birth the building of
Atlanta had not begun. She has often
ridden along the roads over the pres
ent site of that flourishing city.
Lived in White Hall House.
For one year she lived in the large,
long white house built by Carna Hum
phreys and which was locally known
as the white Hall House" This gave
the name of Whitehall Street, one of
the leading thoroughfares of Atlanta.
Mrs. Bandy began teaching in 1864
near GAINESVILLE, Ga, and taught one
year in the first building of what is
now Gordon Institute. BY many she
is known as the Mother Of Gordon
Institute" After teaching three years
near Atlanta she married. Again in
1870 she taught one term near Dalton.
From 1875 to 1878, inclusive, she
taught in Fannin County. Georgia.
She was not engaged in school work
from 1873 to 1884. In the latter year
she began teaching in Fannin County.
Georgia, and has worked continu-
ously ever since in Fannin County
and i'll Polk County, Tennessee,
teaching in the latter county at Blue
Ridge. Isabella and Copperhill.
Presence an Inspiration.
The presence OF the lively, cheerful,
buoyant and learning old woman is
an inspiration TO the other 450 young
er teachers registered in the Normal
School. Mrs. Bandy is probably the
Oldest person now attending school
in the United States and the Normal
School students feel highly honored
by her presence.
