REPORT REVEALS
EFFICIENCY Of
LOCAL SCHOOLS
South Bend Ranks Fiftieth
Among 78 Cities in Number
of Boys of 13 in Seventh
Grade.

Conditions of special Importance To
the industrial and educational inter-
ests of South Bend are disclosed by a
report of the division of education of
the Russell Sage Foundation, which
was made public today. During the
past year the foundat ton has been
conducting a cooperative investiga-
ton with some IS cities with the OBJ
iect of securing a more adequite fact
basis for dealing with the problems
Of industrial education in American
municipalities
Many significant disclosures are
brought to light. one is that in most
American cities a majority of the
school children have not made suffi-
cie1t progress in their ordinary school
work by the time they complete the
compulsory attendance period 10 en-
able them to take up trade or Noca-
tiOnal courses advantageOusly.
Another condition found to be al
most universal is that our cities are
largely made up Of people who move
SO frequently from one locality TO an
other as to render vocational educa-
ton for the local industries exceeding
ly difficult and sometimes of doubt
full value.
Retail Trade ExceIls.
The report covers information con-
cerning the fathers of school children
in the different cities studied. The
occupation employing the greatest
number of people is retail trade and
in this group more than one-half of
all the workers are proprietors.
The Sage report shows the proper
ton Of the 13-year-o boys in each
city who are in or above the seventh
grade. In this comparison BrOckton,
Mass, stands at the head of the list
la
boys in or above the seventh grade.
while Portsmouth, Va, IS at the 9TH
er end of the list with only . per cent
of the boys in or above the seventh
grade Among the IS cities studied
South Bend is ranked in the 50th
place with 3S per cent Of the 13-year-
old boys in or above the seventh
grade
Birth Places of Boys and Fathers.
The study shows that in the IS cit
les only one father in six is now liv
ing in the city of his birth and among
the boys only a few more than one
half are now living where they were
horn. The proportion of fathers now
living in cities where they were born
varies from less than one per cent 10
more than 81 per cent The proper
ton of boys still living in the city of
their birth varies from p per cent to
rs per cent. Among the IS cities
studied South Bend ranks in the goth
place with respect TO the proportion
of fathers born in the city and in the
goth place with respect to the proper
ton OF boys.
Industries Of Fathers.
The report classifies the occupations
of the fathers under five headings and
gives the per cent engaged in each
class of occupation. The results for
South Bend are as follows:

silk valued at over $1,000. were found
near the railroad crossing one mile
east of here. The thieves, it was be-
heved had not had time enough to
return for their plumber.
Five bolts of the silk were found by
Baggageman Solinger .Of the Big
Four, who was walking along the
railroad tracks. The rest was dis
covered by Curt Christman, a section
foreman. The silk had been torn
from the packages and it was impOs-
sible to tell whether il was freight or
express.
Sheriff Frank Leader took two
men from a train at Elkhart and
brought them TO Goshen TO be ques-
toned. one of them, a negro. gave
his name as Fred Clark, Of Spring
field, Ill. The other, a white man,
gave the name of Mike Brown. But
letters in his pockets were addressed
to Michael Reckendegler of Chicago.
Three guns were taken from the men.
Both are held for further exam
ination. This is the third big rob-
berry along the Lake Shore in the last
few weeks. The railroad company
has a large force of officers working
on the robberies.
An effort was made to wreck
Lake Shore train four miles east Of
Goshen Sunday morning by placing
ties on the track. The section men
walking the track found them before
an accident occurred. The officials
are endeavOring to connect the at
tempted effort 10 wreck the train
with the robbery.

can be had under the Ontario plan,
or the plan of State publication, at

resulting in a loss of $35,11192 paid
by Georgians to the School Book

Therefore, be it resolved, 1. That
we favor State publication of school
books. We favor the McCrory bill
now pending in the Georgia LegisIa-
ture. We deem it wise and just that
our school children should be taught
from those books edited, manufac-

2. That we condemn, unreserved-

and denounce the shameful conduct
of William H. Burwell, Speaker of

this State in that prior to the acts
of 1878-79 the Georgia Supreme
Court reports were published and
sold by private individuals for $500
per volume and under the provisions
OF said Acts the State has published
and sold the same reports for $3.50

said plan of State publication is
practical as applied to lawyers and
law books, and can be practical if
applied to school children and school
books, and,
Whereas, State publication of

Dr. Merritt is a speaker that people love to hear.
 It was the source of sincere regret among the Mesa people to learn that Dr. Merritt will close his work as inter- national secretary, when the state Sun day school convention meets in Pres colt, October ?, 3, 4. The doctor will take the secretaryship of the extension department of Pomona college and de- vote his remaining years to educational work
