LITERARY SOCIETY
TO HOLD CONGRESS

That the students of Earlham col
lege may have an opportunity to take
greater interest in politics. a rear
rangement of the program OF the Ion
ian Literary society, society COM
posed of the men of the college, has
been planned which will entail a re-
organization of the club.
1t is the plan to organize the club
in the form of the United States Con-
gress. Discussions pertaining to the
foremost political questions of the
time will be held in accordance with
the rules of the United States Con-
gress. Debates will be arranged and
other features introduced to make the
society virtually miniature congress.
1t is believed by the members this will
increase the interest and attract a
larger membership.
Opposition has been expressed to
the plan by some of the alumni who
desire to cling to the traditions of te
society.
The plan is not only to organize the
club according to the organization of
the national body but also to organ
ize it according to political parties so
the real working of the congress can
be experienced by the members. Prof.
E. P. Trueblood, head of the public
speaking department, is strongly in
sympathy with the proposed change
and believes that it will have an eff
feet on instilling interest in live Ques-
tions of the day.

Officers of the Second National
Bank, which was criticized publicly
along with three other Indiana banks
by Secretary of Treasury McAdoo for
carrying what he thinks is too high a
reserve to protect depositors' money,
declared today they had no intention
of permitting the reserve to be re-
duced to Is per cent, the figure de-
manded by the secretary.
They stated it had been for years
the Richmond banking custom found
ed on experience to maintain reserves
of never less than 25 per cent. 1t was
this banking practice, they declared,
that had enabled this city to so sue
cessfully weather the financial storms
of the past while other cities whose
banks did not maintain proper re-
serves were severely suffering.
Refuse No Loans.
1t was further stated by the bank
officials that their present reserves
had not been built up at the expense
of legitimate business interests of the
community. They claimed that they
have refused no loans to borrowers
whose credit was good and that they
have bought good commercial paper
even since the outbreak of the Europ-
can war.

TO REPAIR
LEAKS AND WIRING
At HIGH BUILDING
Faculty Proposes to Teach
Practical Ideas in Indus
trial Courses by Letting
Students Work.

Practically is the aim of the high
school faculty in the industrial de-
partment.
At the beginning of the next term
of school groups of the older boys will
be organized to do practical jobs of
work under the supervision of one OF
the teachers. The groups will be limit
ed in size SO the instructor can keep
all of them busy. These boys will do
repair work about the high school
building, and will gain much practical
experience. Advanced pupils from the
physics department who understand
electricity will be allowed to make all
necessary repairs and changes in the
electric equipment.
Since the boys in these classes will
do no commercial work for pay, Prin-
cipal Pickell said the work would not
meet with any opposition by the
trades unions of the city.
In connection with this work Mr..
Pickell expects to add a course in
automobile construction to the list of
industrial subjects studied in the
school.
There are new things we are anx-
ious to try out, but we have to go
slow as the vocational training law
has brought about many changes in
school conditions, and we are still feel
ing our way. l would not be surprised
to see in few years our high schools
divided into vocational and academic
schools"

BOOK ADVISES
SCHOOL BOARD.
IN NIGHT WORK
After Conference Officials
Will Name Advisory Board
to Help Garry Out VOca-
tiOnal Courses.

An advisory board consisting Of prac-
tical factory men, trades workers and
home makers will be appointed by the
city school board to overseen the vo-
cational training to be done in the
night school this winter.
The board met this morning to con-
fer with the deputy state superintend-
ent, w. F. Book, who has charge of
vocational training in Indiana. Pettis
A. Reid, members of the state board
of education, was also present.
DR.. Book came to Richmond at the
request of the school board to advise
it regarding requirements of the state
law. Under this law part of the ex-
penses Of running the night school are
paid from state funds, and for this
reason the course Of study offered and
the plan of operation must conform to
the law.
Provides Three Classes.
Under the Indiana vocational train
ing law of 1913, three classes of voca-
tional work are provided for. The
trade extension work for farmers is
carried out under the county agents.
The second class is known as the pre-
vocational work, and includes teach
ing domestic scrience, manual train
ing and agriculture in the Seventh and
Eighth grades of the public schools.
Both of these branches of work went
into effect September l, 1913. The
third class includes the industrial vo-
cational work, and applies to the ad-
vanced training of those already en-
gagged in some definite line Of indus
trial work. This is the course to be
taught in the night school.
DR.. Book was enthusiastic over the
prospects for carrying out this project
in Richmond.
"Your school is admirably suited for
this work. he said, with its
large building and equipment for in
dustrial training. But l would not be
surprised If you found it necessary to
secure outside room for some of the
classes after it is generally understood
what this course has to offer trades
people of the city.
Offer Practical Work.
"This course is open to men and
women over II years of age, and will
include training in carpenter work,
foundry work, millinery designing.
sewing, cooking and home making, but
will be limited to men already engag-
ed in the various trades, and women in
the homes. Any girl or woman over
II years old who is living at home,
is considered a home maker, and is
eligible to the home making course"
One of the questions which was puz-
zling members of the school board was
the licensing of teachers to carry out
the work. The instructions of DR..
Book were that special licenses would
be granted to those who are qualified
to teach the courses. Some of the
work will be done by regular teachers
Of teh school, while it will be neces-
sary to secure experts from some of
the factories and trades for the rest.

"These voters are being impressed

Before Reducing Rate.
CITY HEARS ORDERS

In another year, Richmond will have
the opportunity of entering the high
est fire insurance class attained by
any Indiana cities and it will have the
immediate opportunity of getting a
rate reduction.
This is the result of a meeting of
the fire insurance committee of the
Commercial club and E. M. Sellers,
head Of the Sellers Fire Insurance Bu-
reau. Mr.. Sellers had one of his ex-
perts at the meeting.
1t is mandatory in order to secure a
higher classification in fire insurance
rates, that the city add to it's fire de-
partment an aerial ladder truck and
seven men and that wires be placed
underground in the business district.
Mr.. Sellers criticised the city for be-
ing nineteen firemen short in the fire
department. He also expressed his
opinion plainly on the method used in
carrying out the order to place wires
underground. He said the wires had
been taken off the streets and placed
in the alleys and that the wiring there
now is SO complex 1t would be almost
impossible to raise a ladder.
