PROF. CANINE ON PROGRAM.
Mrs. Rought then introduced the
leading subject for the afternoons
discussion, Lake County Institu-
ton for Higher Education" and
one of the speakers, Prof. Z. n.
Canine OF the East Chicago schools.
Mr.. Canine said in part: There is
no more important subject thar
the educating of the boys and girls;
that many cannot afford to send
their children to schools OF higher
education. but that the community
cannot afford to nave these children
no receive a higher education; that
there is a lack of instructors be-
cause of a local lack of source for
producing instructors; that the
boys and girls should not have to
go to a distance TO procure a high
er education; that more should en-
ter and graduate from high schools
and more should enter college; that
normal training is far superior to
college education for teachers; that
If Lake County could have a uni
versity for higher education SAL
aries would be lowered because To-
cal teachers could be produced and
much of the expense saved by pu-
pills not having to seek this knowl-
edge elsewhere; also that local
teachers could better understand
the needs of the schools. Prof. f.
S. Monroe followed and illustrated
his arguments with a map locating
these schools OF higher learning.
citing the Fort Wayne Normal
Training school for that city and
Allen county. as being nearest the
needs of this vicinity. That Lake
county ranks second in assessed
valuation, population. pupils and
teachers employed. with no institu-
ton Of higher learning. while Mar
ion county ranks first with eight
such institutions; that children
graduating at 16 and II years are
too young TO go a distance for this
learning. Mr.. w. r. Gleason. Of the
Gary Steel Mills. was unable to be
present. but sent a message highly
commencing a movement a.ong this
line. Mr.. W. c. Belman concluded
the discussion, by saying that such
a movement had been In the at
mosphere for two years: that grad
uating children from the high
I school too young and their going
out into a new world of learning at
such an age is attended with many
hazards. and does not tend to the
making Of the best men and wo-
men. absolutely in favor of an in
stitution in Lake county to be cared
for by the taxes going to other
parts Of the state. Attorney Pat
tee of Crown Point concluded the
discussion In a like strain. dec1ar-
ing that concerted action should be
made to found an educational insti-
tuition and a state institution II
possible.
Upon a motion. properly seconded
