According to one definition in Websters
new international dictionary of the Eng
lish language, a reception is "an inter-
change of dignities Of two planets in
each others house Of exaltation" and a
public one is one that is in a "state of
being open to knowledge and view of
all'' with the further information that
it is also notorious and common"
Hence, the public reception Of Senator
James Watson and Warren T. McCray
was open Tor inspection, and l decided
to attend in hopes of learning from Sen
ator Watson what politics would>be like.

OPEN LETTER
TO THE INDIANAPOLIS SCHOOL

TO THE INDIANAPOLIS SCHOOL
BOARD.
The public of indianapolis is not
going to be deceived by the efforts
Of an one TO make it appear that
your conduct is under investigation
by the state board of accounts.
Too many persons remember that
the state board of accounts was re-
quested by you to ascertain the
conditions and report on the things
that the board has recently made
public.
But your experience with Jesse
Eschbach's Goodrich controlled or.
ganization ought to convince you
that help in putting the affairs of
the school city on a sound business
basis is not to be expected from
that source.
The only way to put school af-
fairs on a proper basis is to put
them there regardless of the iniu-
ences that prefer the lax methods
and indefensible waste that was
tolerated for years before You cams

They range in age from curious
young misses Of less than eighteen sum-
mers to women who have felt the JOY
OF being grandmothers. And all OF
them are equally enthusiastic over the
work.
Yesterday they sat for more than an
hour in one of the big, cool classrooms
listening to a lecture on strawberry cul-
ture by one Of the schools graduates,
Miss Helen Donaldson. When it was
over they all trooped out into the glar.
ing sun and proceeded to carry out the
information they had learned in class.
First they carefully selected pots in
the greenhouse and then went out to
the acre or more Of strawberry plants
and. under the guiding. cautioning re
marks Of their teacher, transplanted the
tiny green patches of leaves.
After this the girls eparated--somc
