STATEWIDE DRIVE
FOR BETTER SCHOOLS
IS PLAN FOR FALL

A statewide campaign in the inter-
est of education will be held in In
dianapolis for 10 days, beginning Nov.
Z, Richmond teachers and educators
learned yesterday.
The decision to conduct the drive
for better schools was reached at a
conference of leading educators called
by L. N Hines, state superintendent
of public instruction, which met in
Indianapolis Monday
The object of the campaign is to
arouse the citizens of the state to a
realization that Indiana no longer
leads in education as in the past. The
recent Russell Sage Foundation re-
port ranked Indiana 18th among the
states in educational efficiency, and
leaders of the new drive are deter
mined to take immediate steps to I'M
prove the rating of the state.
Need Special Legislation.
Special legislation needed to i'm
prove the efficiency of the Indiana
public school system will be advocated
throughout the state in the hope that
the next session of the legislature will
enact progressive school laws.
The importance of the campaign was
emphasized by Mr.. Hines in an ad-
dress opening the conference.
This group has been called to-
gether," said Mr.. Hines, "for the pur.
pose of considering in an informal
and unofficial way, the advisability OF
holding a statewide campaign for the
betterment of Indiana schools some
time previous to the meeting of the
Indiana legislature in January, 1921.
Many things need yet to be done
in regard to our rural schools. The
efficient and up-to-date rural school
will help prevent the drift from the
rural districts to the cities. For the
first time in the history of the United
States the census probably will show
that majority of the people in the
United States is in the cities. If peo-
pie are to be held in the country
they must have as goou a chance to
educate their children as they would
have in the cities.
LAS a consequence, we need to pay
attention to the curriculum of the ru-
raj schools as well as the closest SUI
pervision of the rural school work and
the standardization of the rural
schools generally. There needs, also,
to be a general building up of the ru-
raj community spirit. To all these
matters the people in the state of In
diana must address themselves in very
effective and decisive fashion. We
ask your help and the help of all the
people in the state in giving the rural
child a fair chance in education
Charles o. Williams, superintendent
of the Wayne county schools, attended
the meeting.

Feed German Children Yet.
The committee, has completed ar.
rangements for shipments Of foodstuffs
for the child feeding work in Germany
in sufficient quantities to last until the
end of the year. Within the last few
weeks there have been shipped from
New York $40 tons of cocoa, 317H
tons of LARD and 1890 cases of con-
densed milk
In addition to this there were
shipped 81 barrels of cod liver oil for
hospital use in combating ricketts,, the
prevailing disease of children which is
SO common, because of under nutrl-
ton. Dried peas and dried beans used
in the food ration are already stored
in the warehouses in Hamburg to be
drawn as needed; $50 tons of rice
have been purchased and will be de-
livered at Hamburg in the near future.
The remaining articles of the ration
-four and sugar-will be supplied in the
futre by the German government.
The foodstuffs were shipped to Ham
burg on the steamship Mar, Mediter-
aneo, Verbania, Belgic, Minnekahda,
Mississippi and Mette Jensen, the last
named of which sailed from New York
recently. Five thousand cases of milk
are still to be shipped. The total
value of these goods is about one and
a half million dollars and it is expect
ed that this will be sufficient to
provide the supplementary meal for an
average of 100000 children per day
until January. This number is slightly
less than the Friends have been feed
ing during the spring months of this
year.
sIi0ASdt0S NC oIoSI
The Quakers realize that 100000 in
clude only part of the undernourished
children in Germany. They expect to
continue the feeding program until
June, 1921, and will increase this num-
Der of daily rations in proportion to
contributions that are sent in. The
original plan was to close the child
feeding operations on Aug. 21, 1920,
but the food situation was found to be
SO acute and the harvest not sufficient
for proper nourishment of the whole
population, and on request of Herbert
Hoover and other authorities on world
food conditions, another years pro-
gram was laid out.
1t costs approximately five cents to
give a child this extra meal per day or
$3.50 a month will feed child over
the critical period this coming winter.
This supplementary meal is absolutely
necessary, state investigators from
in order that the children
who represent the coming generation
may grow up with sound bodies and
minds. Returning workers from Ger

stuffs must be supplied if revolution is
to be averted

FOR THE DESTITUTE ARMENIANS

We wish to publicly thank Mr. A.
S. Arneson and the teachers who did
so nicely in soliciting for the destl-
tute Armenians. We do so much
wish that all teachers who have not
yet reported will put this upon their
hearts, call some man or woman in
the Dist. to assist and give every one
chance to help.
What would be the thanksgiving
in our hearts if we we're in a starry
ing condition, literally dying by in
ches, and relief came, such as we
we are able to render without even
feeling the response a burden? We
would thank the giver as long as we
live.
Mr. Arneson sends in the following
lists with names and amounts con-
tributed in the town of Brigham.
The Misses Irene Ward $500,
Nellie Burns $27.00, Florence And
erson $4,000, Mildred Kurth $17.0O,
Lucia Peterson $1,000, Mabel Kurth
1925 and Joseph Oimoen $14.50,
making a total of $131.50 and more
districts to hear from.
Arena, through Mr. S. w. Dawson
forwards $4,000, Miss Annie Fitz-
simons $1,000 from school Dist. No.
7, Town of Linden. Mrs Thomas
Wedlake, treasurer of the Country
Life Club at Survey sends in a check
of $1,000 which should be an incen-
tive to other clubs and organizations
of this county take an action along
this line and save mothers starving
child.
In all earnestness we appeal to
every Village, to every Township and
to every school district that have
not yet reported to please put this
across at once, doing your very best
in behalf of the starving Armenian
and in the name of Christ.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES H. BERGMAN,
County chairman.

Pension Bill Passed.

A wire message from Congress
man Monahan was received Saturday

Senate. The bill passed the House

for the presidents signature with
the president ready to sign.
The new bill gives old soldiers $50

month. All veterans of the civil
war are treated alike, all receiving
the same amount, regardless of their
military rank.
