wall in Gloucester to witness the stag
ing of this scene when the picture
was in course OF production.
The scene shows the blowing up Of

rocks after a terrific storm. In oraer
to create the desired effect, new
double generating set. the largest

pany, and the entire fire department
of Gloucester were used.
The powerful generator furnished
the required current for the 100000

later. however ana the three cameras

Mr. Kirby was one OF the leaders
of the Roosevelt Progressive party III
Michigan and was one Of those who
walked out of the regular Republican
convention in 1912 and went over to
Orchestra Hall. Chicago, and helped
organize the Progressive party When
asked about the status of the party in
Michigan now, he said:
There seems TO be a get-together
feeling among all Republicans. and if
President Harding proves to be the
president Of all the people and not Of
the classes. and il he listens to good
and wise men without reference to
factions and is not led or controlled
by such as Penrose and his kind, he
will be able 10 reunite the party as
it has not been in years. II he proves

When asked about the case OF soma

THE SCHOOL SURVEY.
indianapolis News.l

The last legislature passed resolution providing
for survey of the Indiana public school system
from the one-room school in the country TO the
state universities. The work IS to be done by
der the supervision OF commission which has
made tentative arrangements with the general edu-
cation board, division OF the Rockefeller Founda-
tion tc do the work without to the state The
general education board is reported competent
and its in several southern states is cited
a example Of its thoroughness and efficiency.
1t probably has been in any other county
where townships abolished when necessary
to win school elections for political plumber pur-
poses, so the commission has thrill coming when
1t visits the Marion county court house with its
state and city school board alliances.
Legislative action making the survey possible was
inspired by reports about the low rank OF Indianas
schools. The object OF the survey is 10 lay the
groundwork for a general revision of the states
policy. There will be little objection to such sur

ested group Of experts who Will examine conditions
country is point in its favor, although it may be
disappointment to many Indiana school men and
women who hoped to render service TO the state by
takn gan active part in the survey.
It would be idle, however, to contend that the
should surrender its school affairs to the Judg-
into account the fact that these experts approach
a problem already in process OF solution in accord
ance with sound principles. Since the state
minded of its educational shortcomings much has
