been started. The report also showed
that the costs so far are far below the

mates. The following report was

Of SCHOOLS
FAVORED BY STATE COMMITTEE
Issues Report Urging Superintendent Preston to Start
Statewide Intensive Campaign Immediately for
Capitalization Of County Districts

consolidation does much to eQualize
the school tax. There are often very
great inequalities between the tax
valuation Of adjoining districts, and
the weaker district often has the
larger number of children for whom
to provide schools. The committee
thinks this is outrageously unfair
and the best method 6f correcting the
injustice is by consolidation. Trans
portation of the children to the CEN
ters is one Of the advantages Of con-
sohdation, which will bring about
improved roads and means Of trans
portation.
Better Management Saves EXPENSE
In the larger cancellations, the
cost Of the schools is either about the
same or less than under the old plan,
the report shows. The cost per cap
ita IN these larger districts Il lees
than formerly and in the snalfeF
cancellations the cost for maintain-
ing the school and the cost per capita
is perhaps somewhat more than un-
der the old plan. The committee has
figured that the cost Of MANAGEMENT,
maintenance and the upkeep VIII run
about the same under the consoli-
dated plan a. under the old form.
It IL claimed that consolidation sAvss
its Increased expense In better man
agement.

HARDING NOTE
OF FRIENDSHIP

FOrerunner to Better
Understanding.
OTHERS TO FOLLOW

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Presi-
dent Harding. it was learned today,
has received a message from the
Mikado expressing the good will and
friendship of Japan for the United
States.
The message is understood to be
one Of a number of gestures OF
friendship, contemplated by Japan.
The message from the Japanese En-
peror is known on good authority to have
been prompted because OF the present
issues between the United States and
Japan, such as the zap question and the
japanese protest against the anti alien
land laws of California.
The Mikado's message is believed to
make plain the importance OF maintain
ing the most friendly relations with the
United States and it Is interpreted In
official circles as a sincere effort by
Japan to avoid any possible friction with
America.

MANY PHASES
OF DOG SURGERY
ARE NOT SIF'TED
Humane Society Directors to
Take Up Report on
Conditions.
MUCH LEFT TO CONSIDER

The board of directors Of the Indian
apolis Humane Society viii take up to-
night the report Of its executive com
mittce relative TO the conditions sur
rounding the harborng OF dogs at the
Indiana University School Of Medicine.
The committee has made an Inspection
of the quarters and it Is understood will
report that the animals now at the
college are receiving excellent care. The
committee, however. has made no investi-
CATION relative to the experimental
surgery which the college conducts on
dogs or relative TO the manner In which
the college procures dogs for this pur-
pose and the scope OF the report re-
ceived tonight is expected to be con
fined wholly TO the condition of the
animals at the college as the committee
found 1t on an inspection last Thurs
day.
Visitors to the college previously to
that time have reported conditions exist
ing there as to the care and comfort OF
the dogs entirely at variance with the
conditions as they were found when the
committee visited the school.

ATTITUDE.
AS a result of the agitation against
the colleges use of dogs in expert
mental surgery there has been a decided
REFORMATION as TO the care OF the animals,
a changed attitude as to inspection or
the place and il IS reported that the
college authorities and members of the
humane society are now negotiating ar
rangements by which the society Will be
in a position to know, at all times, what
treatment is accorded the dogs.
Members Of the executive committee
declare that they have not made such
an Investigation Of the affairs Of the col
lege as would warrant the assertion that
the humane society has in any way "ex-
Onerated" the college Of charges that
have been made against it recently, and
attempts to construe satisfaction ex-
pressed with the quarters for the ami
mails at the college will form a part Of
the discussion at the meeting of the
body tonight
THINGS NOT
INVESTIGATED.
Among those things which the execu-
tive committee of the humane society has
not investigated and concerning which ii
will not yet make any report are:
/. The sworn statement of Mrs.

The question Of the boundary line was
a dormant one for many years, due to
the shifting of the current of the Red
