DRIVE ON FOR
9Th AMENDMENT
Organization FavOrs Appoint
ment of Schools Head.

The first of q series Of circulars favor
ing adoption OF the ninth proposed
amendment 10 the Indiana constitution.
providing for the appointment instead
IF election. Of the State superintendent
of public instruction. have been mailed
by the Indiana Educators Amendment
association. which opened offices yester
day in room 1J7. Hotel English. with
Herbert Briggs, city vocational director
at Terre Haute, i'm charge.
Four reasons are set out in the cir
cular why they believe the amendment
should be adopted. They are:
"tai The Indiana school system ranks
seventeenth. IL has been weighed and
found wanting. Experience of other
States shows clearly that appointment
Of a superintendent on a high profes
sional basis brings marked educational
progress Indiana needs this 0forwIrd
step just now.
"tht Indiana is on the ere Of a thor
ouEh educational survey. Reports based
on similar surveys in six other States
have uniformly recommended the ap-
poiutment plan for the State superintend
ent. Indiana needs this change Ia reap
the best results from the proposed sur
vey.
'tcl Indiana schools are costing the
people nearly fifty million dollars annu-
ally. The highest executive and admins
trative ability is needed in the head Of
the school system If this money is TO
bring the best returns. Indiana needs
such ability at the head Of her greatest
productive concern.
~tdl The Indiana constitution is o.
tremely difficult to amend. II this
amendment fails IL is lost for a genera
tion. Indiana needs this opportunity now
TO join the progressive educational
States
In connection with this circular bulle-
tin No. 46 Of the Bureau of Education.
Department of the Interior Of the United
States. dealing with Organization Of
State Departments of Education" also is
being sent throughout the State.

HAVE TINE FOR
EMERGENCY CASE
Mrs. Inez FOentiOn, War Nurse,
Has Disappointing Time
With Local Physicians.

Mrs Inez Foention. supervisor Of
nurses in the Marion Soldiers Home, who
has devoted her life to acts of mercy, re-
turned to her station yesterday afternoon
with a rather disappointing experience
of the humanitarianism displayed by a
number of indianapolis physicians.
Her acquaintanceship with at least
part of the medical profession came
when she found an aged woman uncon-
scous in the basement of the Traction
Terminal station.
"A negro woman was tanning the
woman" said Mrs. Foention, but no
effort had been made to summon help
knew the womans condition was Sc
rlous and l went for assistance after
learning several doctors had their Of
fees in the building.
DOCTOR DECLINES
TO GO.
1.-The first doctor I found asked a few
questions and when he learned ! didn
know the stricken woman's name he re
fused to go, even though l offered to pay
him from my own pocket. He suggested
another doctor in the same office might
attend her
"I can't take money off of a nurse
this physician responded, but firmly re
fused to go to the woman's aid He,
however. was willing that ! should ask
another doctor across the hall
Il flew over there, but that doctor said
he was sorry-he was just going on a
call
Il ran out into the hall and learned
from some people there that doctor
was being treated in an opticians office
on going there found DR.. Williams OF
Greenwood. On learning Of my mission

STATE AT WORK
FIXING UP BAD
SPOTS IN ROADS
Director Lyons of Highways
Commission Tells of
Work Done.

State highways of northern Indiana
are teemng with tourist traits these
days and In many instances the travellers
are from distant States lured to Hoosier-
land by watering places famous the
world over. That interstate motorists
and Indiana residents wishing to use
highways the year around may have the
best system of roads possible to con-
struct at minimum cost is the stupen
dOus program laid out by the Indiana
highway commission and which, under
the supervision of Lawrence Lyons, di-
rector, has progressed at unprecedented
speed this summer.
A year ago, says A. H. Hinkle, chief
engineer of maintenance, traffic on some
Of these trunk highways was next to i'm
possible. Many We're rePlete with chuck
and sink holes Great stretches of road
devoid of metal, gravel or surface ma
terial caused motor cars TO either sink
to startling depth during the wet sea
son or to bounce along at other times
when roads dried and surfaces wee
hard and irregular.

MUCH WORK
PERFORMED.

In the last few months a vast amount
Of work has been accomplished by the &c
partment on some OF the chief trunk
lines of the north and roads which year
ago were stunned and avoided by motor
lists familiar with them because Of their
frightful condition. are today veritable
boulevards. Much of this resurfacing has
been with gravel for in that section due
10 high moisture, gravel has a resiliency
that can not be obtained from other road
materials. and 1t affords a surface that
gives ideal traction. Gravel roads are
very economical to construct also com
pared to some other materials.
Mr.. Hnkle says that main roads in
Steuben, La Grange. Noble. Kosciusko,
Whitley and Lake Counties are rapidly
being put into splendid condition and be
fore fall all work undertaken this spring
will have been completed. Roads in this
section are widened to a minimum OF
twenty eight feet and surfaced with gravel
sixteen to eighteen feet.

St. ANDREWS
CHURCH RALLY
AND REUNION
200 Pensioners In En-
thusiastic Gathering In
Pythian Hall

With the practised hand of DR..
C. A. Cramton on the pulse of the
postprandial, things moved along
enthusiastically at the parish sup
per and church rally of St. An
drew's Friday evening in Pythian
hall. Two hundred parishioners
and friends sat down to the groan-
ing tables, ate and sang and dane
ed and took part generally in what
was probably the most enthuslas-
tic gathering ever held by ST.
Andrews people.
The supper and rally were the
elimination of a drive instigated
bv the Mems Bible class and
choir under the direction of the
leader, Alexander McCarte, to
stimulate new interest In church
work and to start fund Tor
church renovation. Their success
exceeded their most enthusiastic
dreams and the fund grew by
hundreds and hundreds mounting
easily to more than $1,000. The
church will be renovated and re-
paired work starting at once. A
new furnace has been installed,
the exterior is being painted ami
the interior will soon take on new
beauty.
The program arranged by the
Mems Bible class was in keeping
with the other good things of the
evening. The happy selection of
DR.. Cramton as master of cere-
monies assured the success of the
evening. The big audience led by
the hosts of the project with
Harry Petty, Walter Morse, Percy
Marks as soloists and Carol Mont
gomery and Charles Courtnev ac-
ccmpanists, sang hymns and popu-
lar songs. Two duets were rend-
cred by Miss Sylvia Burton and
Miss Irene Aldrich, William High
made a hit with a costume dance
and solo and Mr.. Courtney
Charles Curtis, Mr.. Marks, Gustaf
Peterson, Hadley Pye, Mr.. Nc
Carte Mr.. Morse and Mr.. High
were heard to good effect in a
double quartet. One of the most
pleasing numbers on the program
was a whistling solo bv Miss En-
ma Cole of Los Angeles, Calf
who is the guest of her cousin,
Mrs. A. r. Menut. Miss Cole was
accompanied by her cousin, Mrs.
Ray Leonard, whose work at the
piano contributed much t2 the
audience in the enjoyment of Miss
Coles solos. The bird-like notes
of the whistler filled the hall and
she was enthusiastically recalled,
