HOLLY SCHOOLS STEAD
lily IMPROVING.

Holly schools, already second
to none, will undoubtedly main
tain their efficient standing and
make marked improvements in
many lines under the manage
ment of Superintendent Clewell.
The provisions made for more
room, the placing of the library
on the lower floor and arrange
ment of books for easy access,
and the general plan of work as
outlined, together with the hearty
cooperation and enthusiastic work
of the teaching force, will with
out question give Holly and vicin-
ity the best schools in her history.
Not only is the High School
destined to a year of unprec-
edented growth and development
but the grades are being reorgan-
lied and placed on a better work
ing basis. The departmental
plan, as used in the High School,
is adopted in the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades. Under this
plan each teacher of the grades
has special subjects to teach. A
pupil is not required to make
each grade in all subjects or take
the work over. 1t affords lar
ger choice Of work on the part
of the student, avoids the loss of
interest occasioned by having to
take a whole years work over
because of, failure in only one or
two subjects. 1t makes possible
more efficient work on the part
of the teacher, because it per-
mits of more thorough prepara-
tion on her part. And it brings
the pupils in touch with the per-
sonalties of several teachers dur
ing the year, instead of only
one. 1t gives almost double the
time to each recitation and per-
mits of special work in all sub
jects and more individual help
where needed from the teacher.

CAUSE OF ARREST

Patrolman Vogelsong was dutifully
patrolling his beat yesterday after
noon when he noticed c. J. Miller, col
ored, attempting to start a motor
cycle near Sixth and Main. The limb

Miller was under the influence of in
toxicating liquor and forthwith arrest
ed him. The motorcycle was pushed
and dragged to police headquarters
and placed in the same cell with it's
owned. This morning in police court
he pleaded not guilty to the charge
of public intoxication, but upon testi-

that he would never have been ar
rested if the motorcycle hadn't failed

Larger Class to Receive Di-

This Year Than Ever Be-
fore.
UNIFORM DRESS MAY
BY WORN BY GIRLS
Each Graduate Will Be Given
Number of Invitations to
Present to Relatives and
Friends.

The class of 1913 of the Richmond
high school will receive their diplomas
presented by City Supt. T. A. Mott
on the evening of Friday the thir
teenth of June at the Coliseum. There
are 81 members of the class who will
receive diplomas.
The class this year will be address
ed by President Robert l.. Kelly of
Earlham college. President Kelly is
well known for his ability as a speak
er.
The graduates this year will form
larger class than has ever graduated
from high school in this city. Last
year the size of the class was thought
to be unusual though the number this
year is considerably larger.
To Use Coliseum.
The exercises will be held in the
Coliseum as this building is the only
one in the city large enough to ac-
commodate the large number of per-
sons who are expected to attend. The
invitation necessary for admission will
be issued by the members of the class,
the faculty and the board of education.
Most of,them will be given out by the
class as the board believes the privi-
lege of extending the invitations
should be restricted to the class.
The audience of an affair of this
kind is one of the most democratic au-
diences which is ever gathered togeth-
er in this city," says Supt. Mott.

city are represented" ss.-~-- --.- .. a.
Principal John F. Thompson will
make presentation speech preced-

gram has been arranged and members
of the class will take part in the ex-

usual will be on the program. AS this
is the last year in Richmond of Supt.
T. A. Mott the honor of presenting the
diplomas will be conferred upon him.
Average Age is 1e.
The number of invitations issued
will be somewhat smaller this year
than in former years. Last year the
students of the class were allowed

the size of the class a smaller num-
Der will be issued this year. The av-
erage age of the class is little more
than 19 years.
There has been some contention
among the girls of the school whether
or not uniform dress should be de.
cided upon for the ceremony. Most OF
the girls are favorable toward the pro-
position. The school authorities up.
hold the members of the class who are
! advocating this. The school officials
realize that the girls who buy elabor
ate dresses for graduation have only
few chances to wear them and foI
the benefit of girls in the school who
are unable to afford an expensive
dress the school board believes IL
would be commendable if the matter
/ was accepted.

Moore, dismissed, was stated today
The president is willing to have a
public investigation of the alleged ir-
regularities in the weather bureau
which resulted in Prof. Moore's DIS
missal if Secretary of Agriculture
Houson requests 1t.
Prof Moore today removed his eff
fects from the bureau and established
headquarters at the Cosmos club, from
where he expects to conduct a cam
paign of vindication.
A general housecleanipg of the
weather bureau was in progress to-
day. ANY political machine that Prof.
Moore may have constructed in that
department is to be shattered.
Rep. Fowler Of Illinois announced to-
day that he will demand an investiga-
tion of the weather bureau by the
rules of the committee of the house
and opposed an investigation by the
committee on agriculture.
Fowler declares there have been
many Questionable practices in the
weather bureau and that they should
be given publicity. Fowler has been
active in the campaign which resulted
in Moore's removal.
According to information obtained
today the removal of Moore also was
due in a large measure to charges
made by James Berry, former chief of
the Chronological division. Berry char
ges that Moore coerced his subordi-
mates into booming their chief for sec
retary of agriculture and also that $780,
600 of the bureaus funds were spent
for conference and banquet to fur
ther Moores candidacy.
