INDIANA SOCIETY HEARS
TALES, POETRY AND MUSIC
Achievements of Hoosiers Praised by
Judge Parker, President of
the Organization.

The only reason the standing room
only" sign wasn't hung out last night
at the first meeting of the season of
the Indiana Society, in the Chamber of
Commerce. was because there happened
to be just exactly 220 chairs to hold
exactly 220 Hoosiers and Hoosierettes
Judge James 1. Parker, chief clerk of
the Interior Department. and presi-
dent of the society, had been making
strenuous efforts all summer to get
Indiana people in the District to come
out to the meetings of the society, and
was highly pleased, therefore, over last
nights turnout.
Judge Parker, in his opening address,
lauded the native state of those pres
ent. He spoke of the achievements Of
Indiana men and women in all lines of
endeavor. He predicted a bright sea-
son for the Indiana Society.
Frank L. auckland of the govern
ment printing office told of his expert
ences in Germany during the summer.
Mr.. auckland, whose "reminiscences of
scenes and happenings were printed
some time ago in The Star, related his
arrest as a spy in Hamburg, and told
of the trip back to America. during
which his vessel was stopped many
times by British cruisers.
The recitation of DR.. Henry van
Dykes America for Me-" with which
Mr.. auckland concluded his address,
brought round upon round of applause
from the members of the society, who
no doubt were thinking Indiana all the
time.
Col. ]. J. Megrew told of the dedica-
tion of the monument to Gen. Lew
Wallace's command in Indianapolis
this summer.
The music furnished by Harry w.
Weber's orchestra was a pleasing part
of the evenings program.

Marie Tempest.

Two comedies with which the name of
Miss Marie Tempest must always be
associated constitute the program ar
ranged for this distinguished English
condolences farewell appearance at
the Belasco Theater next week under
the auspices of the Messrs. Shubert.
Monday. Tuesday, Friday and Satur-
day nights and at the We1- esday and
Saturday matinees Miss Tempest will

Wednesday and Thursday, she will de-
vote to revival of THE Marriage of
Kitty
Mary Goes First" by Henry Arthur
Jones, is a satirical comedy revolving
about the struggle for social suprem-
acy of Mrs Wichello and Lady Bods-
worth, in which the humor and satire
of Henry Arthur Jones appears at it's
very best.
."rhe Marriage of Kitty" is so we'll
known that it seems gratuitous to re-
peat even an outline of its absorbing
story. In it the role of Kitty Silver
ton, created by Miss Tempest a dozen
years ago, will, of course. fall to her,
while the Sir Reginald Belsize will be
enacted by W. Graham Browne, with
Miss Kate Serjeantson. the finest
grande dame on the London stage" as
Mme de Semanio.

its kind in the world. Its president is
the President of the United States,
who appoints five out of the eighteen

These five represent the Departments
of War, State, Navy, Treasury and

directly under the control of the Unit

annual report to the Secretary of War,
which is transmitted to Congress and
printed as public document. All Of
the accounts of the American Red
Cross are audited by the War De-
partment, which insures the funds con-
tributed being handled and expended
properly.
The magnitude of it's work can be
summed up by the statement that
within less than ten years it has re-
ceived and directed the expenditure of
more than S12,000,000 in the relief Of
over seventy-tive great calamities.

materially added to the public knowl-

in addition to it's continuous anti-tu-
berculosis work, are all well known.
Should any war break out in the
United States it would be ready for
active work and would act under the
Immediate direction of the United
States War Department.
The training of nurses for all kinds
of relief work is special branch of
the Red Cross service. The greatest
care and discrimination have been
used in the selection of. nurses to be
sent into the European fields in the
present crises. Only native-born Amer
lean women will be considered. with
a preference given to those speaking
one or more European languages. The
physical examination Is most rigid In
order that no one likely to become in
capacitated may be sent into the field
A number of those now in the field
have had experience in relief work in
other disasters. Miss Mary Gladwin,
the nurse in charge of the hospital unit
sent to Servia on the Greek ship. df-
rected the relief work at Dayton, Ohio,
during last years flood.

WOULD BROADEN SCOPE
OF EDUCATION BUREAU
Commissioner Claxton Wants Spe-
cialist at Head of High
School Division.

An assistant commissioner of educa-
ton. who should also be specialist in
secondary education and should serve as
chief of high school division of the bu-
reau of education, is recommended by
Commissioner P. p. Claxton in his report
to the Secretary of the Interior for the

There should be an assistant COM
missioner to carry on the work in the
Office The. increased work in the office
demands much more of the commission
er than was demanded formerly.
Importance of Secondary Schools.
Probably the most important phase in
public education in the United States at
present is that of the secondary schools.
The high school is. or should be, the heart
and center of our school system. The
problems of the high school are more diff
fcult and their solution more urgent
than those of any other part of the
school system.
THE head of the high school division
Of great ability. By combining the offices
of assistant commissioner and special
list in secondary education it should be
possible to pay salary sufficiently large
to attract a man of such ability"

immediate needs of the bureau of not
less than S275,000 also are recon-
mended by Commissioner Claxton.
Home Education Discussed.
Speaking of home education, the re-
port states that American children are
in school less than per cent of their
time from birth to twenty-one years
of age.
THE home. the primitive and pri-
mary institution for the education of
children. is still the most important
agency for education for Metaphysical,
mental, moral, industrial, economic

THE school is still only supplement

would promote right education most
enectually must find some means of
cooperating with the home and help

slant and should be the most effective

THE RED CROSS RELIEF
WORK,
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

No buster place can be found any
where now than the office of the Amer
lean Red Cross Society in Washington.
All day long, and often far into the
night, the officers of the organization,
most of whom are contributing their
services gratuitously, are earnestly at
work in their effort to secure the larg-
est possible means to relieve the suf-
fering of the European war victims.
The donations received are being uti-
lized as efficiently and promptly as pos
sible and the most strenuous efforts are
being made to increase the amount of
these contributions. Never in the his
tory of the world has the need for re-
lief been so urgent. So, in gratitude
for their own Immunity from this war
horror. it is hoped that the American
people are going to give literally for
this purpose.
Appeals are being sent out to every
class of citizens through the co-opera-
ton of the governors of states, cham
bers of commerce, boards of trades and
every kind, in addition to the regularly
organized Red Cross local chapters
which exist in over hundred American
cities and towns. An effort is being
pressly for the purpose of European re-
lief in every city in which none ex-
lists, and in addition individual mem
berships are urged in the national or
ganiZation.
AS special inducement at this time,
it has been decided that every person
contributing as much as 50 shall be en-
rolled as a member in the National
American Red Cross and receive a
years subscription to the Red Cross
Magazine. while every cent of the 81
shall be devoted to relieving the Euro
pean suffering. Contributions and ap-
plications for membership may be sent
directly to the secretary of the Amer
lean Red Cross. Washington, D. c., un-
less it is preferred to send them
through some local organization.

it is hoped that thousands of new local
chapters will be organized within the
next three months to be devoted spe-
cifically to relieving the present Euro
pean crisis.
The active organized effort of the
American Red Cross to relieve the suf-
fering caused by the war dates from
the meeting held August 5. Plans were
made then for chartering a ship to SEND
surgeons. nurses and supplies into the
war-stricken district An earnest ap-
peal was sent out then to the American

the support of this mission of mercy.
No time was lost in utilizing the
funds already available for this pur-
pose. Through the generosity of the
Hamburg-American steamship line, a
large boat was donated to the Red
Cross for relief work. The name of
this vessel was changed from Ham
burg to Red Cross, and by special act
of Congress it was chartered as an
American ship. It's appearance was
changed by being painted white. with
