GREATER NUMBER
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
Enrolment Percentage Jumps
From Eight in 1900 to
Nineteen for This Year.
DEMAND FOR TRAINING
Rapid Gain In Number of Col
ored Children In City Schools
Causes Problem.

High school enrolment in Indian
spoIs jumped from 8 per cent OF the
total number OF school children IN
1900 to 10 per cent in September. this
year, according to figures prepared
by the research department of the
board of school commissioners. The
increase is attributed TO a steadily IN
creasing demand for advanced educa-
ton and rising ideals, school officials
said.
In 1900, 1854 pupils were enrolled
IN the Indianapolis public schools ard
the number Of high school pupils was
1881. In September, 1922, the total
number OF pupils had risen TO 49.S79,
an increase Of less than 100 per cent.
while the number OF high school pu-
Ellis had jumped to $500, an increase
OF almost 400 per cent.
In the grade schools there were
1889 boys and 1857 girls. In the
high schools. however. the girls mum
Abered 4,295 and the boys, 1893.
Negro Pupils Increase
The rapid increase IN the number
OF coIored children in all schools has
resulted in new problems for the
school board. the report says, the
number totaling 5,7s9 or 1873 per cent
OF the enrolment. or these 100 were
IN high school.
Seven -tenths Of the increase IN en-
rollment this fall was due to negro
children.
One third OF the children in the
elementary grades began their school
work outside Of Indianapolis.
According to the new system now
used pupils are classified under three
heads, slow, normal and rapid. A
pupil to be clsssas es normal must
be able TO progress one-half grade for
each half year IN school
OF the white children. 41.5 Per cent
were rated as slow. All per cent nor
NAL and 1873 per cent rapid. OF the
negro children 5sS per cent were
rated slow, 34.s per cent normal and
81 per cent rapid.
Only 344 per cent OF children be
ginning their education in Indlanapo-
lis were rated as slow. while 6o.2 per
cent OF those coming to the Indian
apolis were under the normal stand

A young man who practiced medicine
in Pennsylvania became famous and
was called in consultation in many
towns and cities because of his sue
cess in the treatment of disease. This
was DR.. Pierce, who finally made up
his mind to place some of his medi.
cine before the public, and moving to
Buffalo, N. Y, put up what he called
his 'Favorite Prescription" and placed
it with the druggists in every state.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
has long been recognized as a tonic
for diseases peculiar to womankind
After suffering pain, feeling nervous,
dizzy, weak and dragged down by
weaknesses of her sex, woman is
quickly restored to health by it's use.
Thousands of women testify that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription HIS en-
tirely eradicated their distressing all
ments.
More recently that wonderful dis
covery of DR.. Pierce's, called An-uric
(for kidneys and backache) has been
successfully used by many thousands
who write DR.. Pierce of the benefits
received-that their backache, rheu-
matism and other symptoms of uric
acid deposits in joints or muscles have
been completely conquered by it's use
Send 10c to DR.. Pierce, Buffalo. N

remedies, or write for free medical

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractiVeneSS.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
tion if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
rhur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-tfme recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing all gray hairs have disappeared,
and. after another application or two.
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
, glossy, soft and luxuriant.-Advertise

was practicable. If they have enough
cars, he said, they would start 15-
minute service at once on the Rich
mond avenue and Fifth street line to
try it out I'VE are willing to lose a
little money to try this thing out II
the public wants it," was the way he
expressed himself.
Alexander Gordon, local manager Of
the T. H. l. and E., made the state
ment that the 15-minute service had
been tried out on the Richmond ave-
nue. line on three separate occasions
and had been found wanting in each
case.
May Eliminate Crossing
That Pennsylvania railroad officials
are now considering the elimination
of the grade crossings at the intersec-
ton of Fifth street and Chicago and
Indianapolis divisions OF the road was
the statement of City Attorney Viii
liam Kelley. Members of the board
of works, the city engineer and the
city attorney recently consulted with
the board of county commissioners
with view to having this matter car
ed for he said, and the result was that
1t was left in the hands of the railroad
for investigation and report.
At the request Of council, D. G. Hess,
superintendent of the light plant ex-
planned the trouble with the new 5000
XIV turbine. Forcing of the water soft
ener system, which with a capacity
of only 500 gallons per hour, had been
required to turn out $50 gallons was
the chief reason for the tearing down
of the turbine he asserted.
Deposit Caused.
| According to Mr.. Hess, the chemical
reaction which shoul have taken
place in the settling tanks of the sys-
tenn did not occur until the water had
gone through both boilers and pipes
and, in the form of. steam had en-,
countered the centrifugal force of the
turbine. This was what had brought
about the deposit which caked up the
blades of the turbine and cut out the
dummy rings, cutting down its eff
cheney.
Some of the blades and all the dunn
my rings are being replaced and the
water system will be altered to take
care Of the increased demand, he said

ers decided to stay In Washington and
do business there would be a meeting
Of the District committee, at which the
merger would be taken up and reported
to the House for action.

have the bill ready for consideration

the same time he pointed out that there
was some talk Of plan to adjourn Sat-
urday week. following action on the
tariff and bonus conference reports. II
that plan was carried out. he said, Of
course there will be no need for action
on tho merger bill and it could not be
considered. He said that the chairman
was visiting to see what the plans Of
the lesders- are before calling a meeting
Of the committee to consider the bill.
