LONDON, Aug. 23-Efforts Of en-

fact tha. they themselves are weak

Famine is now paralyzing the strong

for whom employment is available are
too enfeebled to do anything requir-

Wayne county's tax levy for 1922
fixed at the special meeting of the
county council and board of commits
sioners Tuesday.
This rate is two cents less than last
year, when the rate was "a cents. The
poll tax will be so cents for the coun-
ty.
Reduction In the county tax levy
was made possible by five cent re-
duction in the levy for county roads
and repairs. W. o. Jones, county
road superintendent, in preparing his
levy brought it from IA cents last
year to nine cents for 1922.
Bodies Meet Today.
The meeting of the county tax fix
ing bodies Tuesday was in accord
with the law passed by the recent leg
islature, which makes the fixing and
advertisement of a tentative levy
necessary before the final budget and
levy is passed on.
Ten taxpayers who believe them
selves wronged in the fixing of the
levy may appeal to the state board of
tax commissioners for further final
action. This must be done before the
fourth Monday in September. The
state board would then fix a date of
hearing.

PREPARES
FOR LIFE, DECLARES
CRAFT IN LECTURE

Educational problems confronting
this country, and steps taken and yet
to be taken to meet them, were dis
cussed by Ellis U. Graft. superintend
ent of the Indianapolis public schools,
in an address before the teachers in
stitute at the chautauqua Tuesday
morning.
"The next generation or two will
see the greatest gain in education this
world has ever witnessed" claimed
Prof Graft, speaking of the new con-
ditions and changes of presentday
education.
THE biggest advancement yet made
has been by the study of child psy-
chology and the shifting of the educa-
tional scheme from that of subject
matter to that of consideration of the
student.
Causes of Change
whole modern pedagogy has been
changed by this movement. We are
making splendid strides. Another
element which has entered into this
advancement is the study of the exact
science of education. Those two fea-
lures will cause the change in future
educational methods"
In opening his address, Prof. Graft
began with the purpose of education
as defined several hundred years ago
and at present,
Education has changed its purpose
from time to time. Each particular
age and time is the cause. It is a
social product. 1t seemed primarily
to be for the purpose of giving religi
Gus instruction to children and for the
nrepa ration of men for the clergy
| Today the purpose seems to be for
the practical preparation for life. The
extent to which we empha size the
