ed in her native tongue. .4-
Furthermore, boy who wishes to
lay solid foundation for a business
career needs the most careful training
in English Other things being equal,
it is plain that man stands the best
chance to sell his goods, or, in general,
advance his business interests, who
knows something about the meaning
OF words and has as much facility in
expressing himself as he can possibly
get. Now as a partial remedy for
these deficiencies in English, and as
help-in acquiring practically edu-
cation, l suggest getting back to
classics
In what way could we today render
more effective aid to the cause of the
classics than by demonstrating to the
educational world that Latin is the
most practical study a high school
pupil can take, whether he is prepar-
ing for college or for business, be-
cause, without it, it is well-nigh i'm
possible to obtain that mastery of the
native English necessary to success in
the great world of action.

That is precisely the purpose of the coming con-

movement is wholly non-partisan and back of it
That the defeat of the constitutional conven-
ton proposition last fall was due not to opposi-
ton but to apathy and to the failure to get the
question fully before the people can scarcely be
doubted. With the exception of the opposition
OF the liquor interests and occasional representa-
tives of the legal profession, organized fight
was made against it. It failed not because of op-
position, but because the people had not been SUI
ficiently acquainted with it's Importance. Ger
tain amendments to the present state charter
now proposed would merely patch up the docu~
ment without either remedying present defects
or giving Indiana the advantage of modernized
government. The people can always be trusted.
During the coming two years they are going to
come together in just such conferences as that
now proposed, discuss good citizens the things
they ought to have, and then insist on getting
them. The new constitution for Indiana is still
very live issue.-Fort Wayne Sentinel.

The following article was prepared
by Ralph Nicholson as a review and
comment Oil an Albert S. Perkins dis.
cussion Of Latin AS Practical
Study" 1t is intended to interest
students in the study of classics.
The article follows:
What is meant by the word prac.
tical," one may ask? reply by
another question. Can anything be
more practical than the ability to use
the mother tongue with facility and &C.
curacy?
At this point allow me to quote
President Eliot: THE power to un-
derstand rightly and to use critically
the mother-tongue is the flower of all
education. AS a matter Of fact,
strange as 1t may appear, lack Of this
very power, in the opinion of many,
is the most aglaring' deficiency of our
whole educational system today. In
the college and all our schools we are
forever hearing about poor English
For this state Of affairs the college
blames the high school, the high
school blames the elementary school,
the elementary school the family,
while the family throws the odium
back upon heredity-and the problem
is given up in dispair.
In our schools at the present time
hundreds upon hundreds of girls are
studying photography until it seems
as if the whole world would be over
run with stenographers. Yet, a few
months ago, prominent insurance
man, who employs twenty stenograph-
ers and clerks. voiced a complaint,
when he made the statement that it is
getting to be more and more difficult
every day to secure competent steno-
graphers. On account of the things
in general, English in particular,
many Of them can write little except
by the most painstaking-or perhaps l
should say-painful dictation. What
is worst in not few cases, on account
of mistakes in spelling or the mean
ing of words, it is actually unsafe to
allow a letter to leave the office with
out inspection. A girl thus handi-
capped in her knowledge of English
is fortunate is she can secure and hold

AS an observer who does not care

good times, who has made money
fast. but lost it sometimes faster,
naturally feel with the big bunch that
is struggling for existence.
At this time we have many gentle.
man tramps. AS dealer in food
stuffs, happen to know. 1t was just
year ago seldom thing to have
more than one tramp month, but
now we. have an average of thirty.
Good increase in the tramp business
isn't it?
Some fellows offer to do anything
for something to eat. One man came
back at two different times and insist
ed on washing my windows. This
kind Of tramp ought to be awarded
the medal for politeness.
Three-fourths of our poor are only
victims of present circumstances and
ought to be helped. One of the many
opportunities to help the worthy poor
will be presented at the charity con.
cert on Feb. g.
The musicians and upholders Of the
grandest art on earth, music, will give
time and energy to make this great
success.
A musician is the poorest paid man
in the city and usually is the first to
respond to call for help. If one
quorter Of our citizens give quarter
for ticket for this occasion it will
raise the substantial sum of over a
thousand dollars.
A thousand dollars for February and
March will mean SO much for the
worthy poor of our midst. But it only
means a quarter to you who are at
work This Is a citizens concert. It's
to help your neighbor who may some
day have a chance to smile again.

Studying Governmental Needs.

The fact that some 235, 1000 Indiana voters at
the November election registered their desire for
the creation of constitutional convention to re-
write the state charter is ample justification for
the calling of the state conference on the question
of a new constitution for Indiana, which will be
held at Indianapolis Tuesday, January 26.
While the proposition did not carry when it was
originally submitted to the people, the votes in its
favor represent so imposing a total of Indiana
citizenship as to leave no doubt that, with wider
opportunity for consideration and discussion the
people will emphatically register their approval
Of constitutional revision.
There could scarcely be more substantial
groundwork for movement of this character
than the statewide conference on constitutional
needs that is now to be provided. When the peo-

 BRIDGE PROJECT

It was learned this morning that the men who have been working at dig gIng test-holes for the proposed bridge across Gastneau Channel were employed by the Alaska-Treadwell Gold Mining Company. and not by the Alaska road commission, as the men reported
 supt. Jack C. Hayes, of the road commission, said that the men were rom Treadwen, and denied that the road commission had authorized any preliminary work on the bridge pro- iect Supt. Hayes is. however an en- thuslastic supporter of the bridge movement and hopes to see the big span across the channel suspended be- fore another year passes.
 Of the various suggestions offered for building the bridge, businessmen . generally on Gastineau Channel have eliminated all but two, namely the passage Of o Congressional Act, with an appropriation sufficient to build a handsome and servlceable bridge across the channel. or the floating of bond issue, permission coming from Washington of course

CHICAGO BABY CASE
 OPINIONS DIFFER

Not in many months has ease at raeled as widespread attention aa the eChicago baby" affair Yesterdays dispatches to The Empire were that lDr. H J. Haiselden, of the German hospital in Chicago, had been called to answer by the Illinois stato Board of Health, for permitting the Boiling CT baby to die when an operation might have saved itsfiife. because it was ono of the blunders Of nature. The parents of the child requested 1t be allowed to die.
 From all over the United States came opinions uphold.ng Dr. Haisel- dens stand, yet there were many who dld not agree with the course he took. Among other opinions expressed were the following, from leading Chicago ans.
 Judge George F. Barrett, of crimin' al court-An indictment might be voted on such a case. Do not ask me to express any opinion on the situo- tlon an sitting In the Criminal Court, where such ease would come for hearing

 Judge Charles M. Walker, of Cir cull Court never heard of such case before and would hesitate to soy what tbe legal situation might be. ] might say. though, that public senti. ment on such matters is different now from what !t was years ago, and public sentiment makes the laws.
 Dr. John B Murphy-I think na- ture handles such cases very well. The rule is that the child dies if life should not remain. wouldn't feel Justified in contributing to Q death. We have no right to form a judgment on the right of an infant to live or de. Life In that respect Is in the hands of a power superior to ours.
 Dr. Charles B. Younger-It is the duty Of physician to prolong and make happier life in all cases. Phy- sleians have no more right to take a life than anyone else Their duty is to exercise all their skill to improve physical conditions of life If they do not wish to do this. they should turn the ease over to another Deiormity while @ terrible thing. is not sull. cient cause for ordering death Many deformed writers have lived to scat. ter happiness to millions and receive great happiness in life themselves.
