Educational Survey
Completes Session

The Educational Survey commits
sion concluded its work last evening
and adjourned. Among some of the
recommendations made was that, in
stead of a State Board of Education
as now provided for by law, a board
of five members appointed by the
governor shall take its place. That
the office of superintendent of public
instruction be abolished, and a super
intendent chosen by the State Board
of Education to take his place. This
will require a constitutional amend
lnent.
The unit plan of administration OF
the county schools, placing them in
the hands OF a County Board of Ed
ucation instead of school trustees as
at present was also suggested. The
board will have complete control OF
its W schools, by electing a super
%intendent, principal of the eohnty
high school and a superintendent OF
intendent, principal of the county
These officials will have complete
control Of the school affairs within
the county and the purchase OF al
text books and supplies Of all kinds
A Recommendation is also made.
that, where proper accommodations
for teachers in a district cannot be
secured, the County Board is author
lied to construct cottages for this
purpose.
A great many recommendations
have been made by the commission
changing the present system of man
aging the schools and no doubt most
OF them will be viewed with favor BY
the law makers in :fe coming session
OF the legislature. One of the mair'
points under discussion was that the
office of state superintendent was
vested with too much power and
supervision over the school system
and an effort is made through some
of the recommendations to relieve
that condition and give the counties
| more say in the management OF then
school affairs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-FranS
II. Funk, member of the state public
utilities commission of Illinois. and
E. NJ. Wayne Of Delevan, ILL.,, counsel
for several of the largest mills and
grain elevators in the state, today
appealed to the interstate commerce
commission to compel eastern rail
roads to return the cars they have
taken from western lines.
The Illinois men declared that
thousands Of cars have been detain-
ed in the east so that they could be
used for shipping war munitions
from near-coast points, such as
Pittsburgh, to the seaboard, while
the people of the middle west are
severely handicapped by the lack OF
transportation facilities. Illinois
alone is short 100000 cars, said
Commissioner Funk.
Wayne said that grain waiting
shipment TO the mills will spoil with
in 60 days if it is not consumed be-
cause last years crop was especially
soft.

AAANA uAANAlNA 4NtNN SCI WIZ
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 24.-The
Purdue university armOry was de-
stroyed by fire. supposed to be Of
incendiary origin, early today. The
loss is about $4,000. The fire was
discovered at a. m. by Prof Ar
thur Cole. The West Lafayette and
Lafayette fire departments fought
the flames and succeeded in saving
other buildings on the campus.
The heaviest loss was in govern
ment property, there being 1900
and many sabres and a field piece
in the building. Many students who
turned out to fight the blaze had
narrow escapes during the fire.
Some Of the ammunition in the
building exploded and the explosion
could be heard for miles.
The armory was one Of the first
four buildings built at Purdue in
1874. The building was about 60
by 100 feet in size. For many years
the building was used as an ar1nory
and gymnasium and many Of the
most brilliant social functions in
the history Of old Purdue were held
in the building. The loss is covered
by insurance.
