Efficiency" is the watchword of the
hour. 1t is particularly desirable that
we find efficiency in the schools which
our children patronize, for their future
success in life depends greatly on it,
says the Sunday Visitor.
Those who have not given the
parochial school system sufficient
study find 1t difficult to conceive that
any Church organization could COM
pete successfully with our great pub
lie educational system, which has
the backing. not only of the largest
portion of taxes gathered in every
state, but the time and attention of an
interested working organization in
every county and township, city and
village.
Facts, however, are before the Am
erican public, if they will only pay
heed to them-facts which point to the
excellent quality of education received
in the Catholic parochial schools.
The Church's educational system in
the United States, to say the least, is
marvellous, and in every diocese there
is Superintendent of Schools or a
Board of Education, which, keeping in
touch with the public school methods
and practices, aims at setting just a
little higher standard for the Catholic
schools. 1t is due to this, and to the
thoroughness with which all the
branches are taught, that pupils of
Catholic schools usually capture the
first prizes in competitive tests.
From the day that our Divine Savior
addressed His parting words to the
Church go, teach," she has lent her.

LITTLE coURTEsIEs.

Do not forget to teach the children
to say good night to one another, as
we'll as to older members of the fami-
,ly when they go to bed. It is seldom
they will do it Of their own accord,
because comradeship and equality
render them thoughtless of little cour-
tesies. Familiar. use has robbed the
phrase of its significance, but every
child should know that God and good
spring from the same root, with the
meaning. Goodbye" is "God be
with you" and the old-fashioned
phrase, "Good night to you," is
God guard the night to you" 1t
may perhaps, have a different mean
ing for the children if they knew this.

M Bittner's statement to the minors
follows:
"All men shall Immediately apply

the mines, as it will be impossible for
the organization to continue to feed
you after the week ending April g.
1921. This is the action of the inter

Thousands of minors throughout the
country are idle and will receive no re-

In all other strikes relief has been
paid for only one week after the strike
has been called off, but in Alabama
you will receive relief for three weeks
after the governors decision has been
rendered and seven weeks after the
strike has been called off. Therefore

icy of the organization that all men
will have to work in order that they
will be able to take care of themselves
and their families after April 8, 1921.

WASHINGTON. March 26-Condi-
tions laid down by the state depart
ment as prerequisite to any resump-
tion of trade relations between this
country and soviet Russia, while deal
ing exclusively with the economic
frailties of the soviet system, were re-
garded today as striking so funda-
mentally at it's entire structure as TO
have ended practically all possibility
of an early resumption of commercial
intercourse between the two countries.
In a statement yesterday replying to
the recent soviet message to this gov
ernment proposing reopening OF
trade relations, Secretary Hughes de-
clared the United States could not
consider such a course until funda-
mental changes had been made in the
economic system underlying the sovie.

Why Ric h m ond is the
Best Place in Which
to Live

Each day n Palladium reporter
will interview persons at random
to find out why they like to live
here.
Richmond realized early that
provisions for healthful recrea-
ton for the great mass of the
population was a collective func-
tion and should be taken care
of by the municipality at public
expense. AS a result of this the
city has a number of select sites
for it's parks
Glen Miller park is regarded
as one Of the most beautiful
natural parks in the country and
the improvements that have
been made and are now under
consideration will make it a still
greater center for recreational
activities OF the city.
Provisions for playground
equipment in all the parks is be-
ing made and with these play
centers in all parts of the city.
the city must be complimented
on its foresight.
"A number of small play
grounds will be an improvement.
but Richmond is far better off
for parks than most any other
city in Indiana"
This opinion was expressed
by travelling man who has Wis
tied virtually all the cities of

who is now engaged in business
in Richmond.

VOCATION EDUCATION
HANDICAPPED BY LACK
OF FUNDS -FUlTz

Vocational education in Indiana Is
greatly handicapped by the failure OF
the state legislature to pass the three
fourth cent tax levy. according to No-
cational Director, N. F. Fultz. Oppo-
sition of certain legislators to con-
slider the need of three-fourth cent
levy, he said. is responsible. A one
half cent levy, money Of which will
not be available until June, 1922, was
passed by the legislature.
Eight years ago" said Mr.. FultZ,
"a bill was passed fixing a levy of one
cent on each 500 of taxables to raise
vocational funds for state schools. Vo-
cational training was then just getting
start. and the one cent levy pro.
duced more moey than was needed at
the time. This caused the accumula
tion of surplus or reserve fund. The
levy was reduced later. to one-half
cent. War time economy was given as
the excuse. so no one objected.
Then along came the state tax
board and reduced the one-half cent to
one-fifth cent. 1t is that latter levy
that vocational work has been operat-
ing under up to the present. Both the
one-half cent and the one-ffth cent
levies were inadequate. This resulted

TOWN IS CUT OFF
(By Associated Press)

OBEROEBLINGEN, Prussian Sax.
ony. March 26--Reports that the
communist forces which have been
fighting in Eisleben against the Sc
curlty police for three days had been
driven out of that city were brought
here last night by men breathless
from running the II miles which lie
between Eisleben and this little Saxon
village. They said that the commun-
lists were retreating across the fields,
Tor the most part, in good order, but
some had thrown away their guns and
others had been taken prisoners.
Ihe tidings were received without
emotion by men and boys who stood,
rifles in hand. ready to report for duty
to the commander of the communists.
In few minutes, however, these men
and boys began to straggle away. ap-
parently to join their communist com
rades in another stand against the
police.
One Of the refugees from Eisleben
said to the correspondent last eve,
ming: You haven't this sort of fight
ing in America, have you? Things
must be better there"
Women Enter City.
He said that women who had been
camped in the outskirts of Eisleben
day and night since fighting began
there entered the city Immediately
after rifle firing ceased.
They would have gone earlier"
he added. but the workmen would not
permit them to go in. The women
do not have much interest in the world
revolution. To them the fight at Els
leben was just a row between work
men and the"green police"
Members of the communist forces
which were in virtual control of Els
leben, permitted the correspondent TO
enter the city yesterday between
bursts of firing, but were unwilling
to escort him back. saying the only
conveyances available were in the
hands of the police and that capture
was probable.
The correspondent, however, sue
ceeded in securing an automobile and
left the town but as bullets began
| striking the road around the machine

dent walked as far as Oberroeblingen
