PLAYGROUND FUND
MAY DEMAND TAX
INCREASE IN CITY
Works Board Faces Problem
of Providing Money for
Their Operation Since the
Schools Have No Power.

Members of the board of public
works were today made acquainted
with the fact that under an act passed
by the last legislature the civil city
of Richmond, if Fairgrounds for chill
dren are to be maintained In Rich
mond, must meet the expense of their
maintenance, although the control of
Fairgrounds rests with the school city
or the board of health.
The law in question provides that in
cities of the second, third and fourth
class Fairgrounds may be maintained
by special levy of not less than one
cent nor more than two cents, made
by the civil city. If this levy is not
made then no funds are available for
such purposes for an appropriation
cannot be provided in the city budget
without the levying of the special tax.
The school city has no authority to
levy a tax for this purpose.
Mayor Robbins, when informed Of
the provisions of this law promptly
declared that he was not in favor Of
raising the tax rate at this time for
any reason, but finally approved the
plan when Informed that the school
city tax rate was to be reduced next
year from 81 cents to 80 cents, so
that in the event the civil city tax
rate is increased one cent there will
not be, in reality any increase in the
general taxes of the city.
Bond Sees Way.
City Attorney Bond expressed the
opinion that it might be possible to
provide an additional one cent civil
city tax levy to meet the expense of
maintaining Fairgrounds without in
creasing the civil city's tax rate,
which is now LOB cents for general
purposes and Z cents for the sinking
fund, a total tax rate of $1.10. He
suggested that the rate for general
purposes be reduced to $1.02, the T.
cent sinking fund levy be maintained
and the cent Fairgrounds levy pro-
vided, making a total tax rate of
$1.10. With the reduction of / cent
on the school city tax rate, under the
plan suggested by Mr.. Bond. the tax
payers of Richmond would enjoy net
reduction in tax of one cent.
Other city officials, however doubt

TRAINING TO KEEP
BOYS IN COUNTRY
Committee From State Edu-
cation Board Requires
Teaching of Agriculture.

A committee appointed by the state
board Of education settled finally Sat
urday the amount of vocational work
which will be given in township high
schools of more than two teachers.
A solution is being sought to keep
farmer boys on the farm. The result
Is that agriculture will be more i'm.
portant factor In the schools and the
investigation being made of the quail
fications of county agricultural high
schools will be pushed forward.
The committee consists of Mr.. vii
liams, Dr., w. F. Book of the voca-
tional committee Of the state board, q
T. Smith of Purdue, A. o. Neal, state
high school inspector. Lee Driver
superintendent in Randolph county
and P. T. Martin, superintendent In
Hendricks county.
It was determined to abandon the
plan Of the state board of placing a
minimum of two hours week vo.
cational work consisting of sewing,
cooking and agriculture and give only
one hour a week, stretching the one
year course over two or three years.
The teaching of agriculture will be
made compulsory II possible to re.
place woodwork for boys. The com.
M1LLCc DCAcVc0 Luc tc0CAIA6 VI WOOU-
work or other mechanical trades is
driving the farmer boys to the city
and the courses should be shaped to
keep the farmer boys on. the farm.
Give More Credits.
Instead of allowing two credits for
the work as the state board arranged,
four credits will be given.
The committee discussed the rela.
ton of the schools to the fact that a
large per cent OF farmers children
who go to high school leave it with
the determination to quit farm life.
1t is believed that the teaching of
classics and mechanical trades in
place of agriculture and kindred sub
jects can be partially blamed for this
condition.
At present fight is going on in the
committee to arrange for county agri-
cultural high schools between the
county superintendent who are men,
bers and the representatives OF the
state board of education. The state
board members want the qualifications
of the schools to be high enough to
prevent counties from having more
than one school. The superintendent
want the qualifications lower SO that
the expense will not be prohibitive.
1t is believed by the committee that
such a high school would be attended
largely by the young men and boys
who are now leaving school in the
grades because the high school
courses are not fitted to their needs.

Dr.. GeiseI'S
Question Box

After each Of her discussions ON
health questions. Dr.. Geisel will open
up . question boz during which any
person may ask whatever questions he
wishes about the problems Of disease
and health. The questions and an.
ewers this morning were as follows:
Question-Win women help to make
and enforce laws against segregated
districts and other social vices II they
get the ballot?
Answer-Yes, they certainly will.
Question-Can laws against these
things be made to work?
Answer-You can't make men and
women good by law. That 10 impossi.
BILE. There would be NO need for re-
ligion II We could do that But we
can do all We can to deliver them
from evil and to protect them against
footballs. II Q cripple il coming down
the street and Q hole Hes before him
in the sidewalk, we can cover up that
hole to keep him from falling in and
do that much for his welfare. We
don't cure him of being q cripple but
we do help some.
Question-Will laws, II enacted, be
enforced and can they be enforced un-
less we have the right kind of men in
office?
Answer-No. And you can't elect
the right kind OF men either unless
you have the right kind on hand. The
mothers of the country have got to
produce the right kind of men before
you can elect them and it begins to
look as IL we would be short of men
who are the right men If we aren't
more careful. We have got to breed
up a better stock of human beings be-
fore we can have better laws and get
them enforced.
QUESTIONABLE tuberculosis persons
unfit for marriage?
Answer-No. You cannot transmit
the tubercle bacillus That was agreed
up-n at the International tuberculosis
Congress. No babe was ever born with
tuberculosis. The reason that whole
families get it is because they con-
tinue to live in the same environment.
