Ancient Surnerians'
Version of Creation

lihoOd of finding Sumerian influence in
Greek religion, according to Doctor
Chiera.
Geographically the Mountain of
Heaven and Earth cannot be placed
although the old Babylonians may
have thought 1t was somewhere to the
north near Kurdistan or even on the
tain may be placed the Garden Of
Eden.
The Sumerian tale begins with a de-
scription of conditions following the
creation by the great god Anu OF a
lower order Of deities called the
Anunna. At that time there had not
yet come into existence the god repre-
senting cereals, the story declares
Hence there were no grains to eat
Likewise the god representing the
flOcks and herds had not yet been
made, and so there were no animals
and meat to eat. Even the semi
divine being more or less correspond
ing to the Biblical Eve had not yet ap-
peared, according to the Sumeran
chroniclers, who apparently summed
up their conception of conditions on
earth with the following six lines:
Mankind. in the day of their appear
ance,
Bread for eating they knew not,
Garments for wearing they knew not,
The people walked with the (four)
limbs upon the ground,
u, 70 4. T. - H.
sheep,
They drank water from the bitches.
Patrons of Foods Provided.
Then followed the creation by the
gods of the two patrons Of cereals and
flocks, interesting figures because they
resemble the Ceres and Pan Of the
Roman and Greek religions. With the
creation of these two patrons, condi-
lions changed, and the Anunna had
plenty of food.
Next there appears in the story the
god Enki, who is always represented
as being a good friend Of mankind,
and who intercedes with the god EMIL
in behalf of his friends by pointing out
that the flocks and grains had multi
piled in the Mountain of Heaven and
Earth and suggesting that they now
be permitted to leave the mountain
and spread over the rest of the earth.
The desired permission is granted
and the cereals and f1ocks thea repIen-
ish the earth for the benefit Of man
kind. With their coming, the land ex
periences abundance. and mankind, &C
cordirG to the version on the Sumerian
tablets, gets it's first start toward civ
ilization.
Irrigation machines and the yoke
appear. granaries are built and filed
with food. living creatures come into
existence, laws are established. and
wherever the cereals and fiocks, as
exemplitied by the two patrons, appear
prosperity reigns.

of such a test is omitted from the
report. 1t is entirely conceivable
that the ship could be lifted in quiet
air slowly with only one valve work

entirely different proposition.

to safeguard the most precious thing

the protection of human life, 1t has
been changed to a device for saving

ON
SCHOOLS GIVEN
BY SHERWOOD
Superintendent of instruction
Shows Extent of State
System.

Hearty cooperation of school Of
ficials, patrons, teachers and pupils
during the coming school year is
urged by DR.. Fl. N Sherwood, State
superintendent of public instruction,
in a pamphlet issued by him today.
The bulletin calls attention to the
significance of the opening of
Indiana schools and urges school Of
ficials, pupils and patrons to enter
the new year with renewed interests
in and enthusiasm for public educa-
ton.
DIR. Sherwoods statement in part:
THE time is now at hand when
the doors of the schoolhouses of
Indiana will open for the 192526
school year. Vacation period has
ended.
The citizens of Indiana in their
respective school communities may
we'll take notice of this annual event.
From the standpoint of finance alone
it merits consideration. Indiana has
S110, 000,0 900 invested in her school
plants she paid last year $27. 000.-
900 for the services Of teachers and
$4,000, 900 for the transportation Of
pupils. The interest on school bonds
was $5,600,0 900. The total school ex-
penditure last year was over $751;
100000 Thirty-four cents out Of
every dollar of taxes collected by
Indiana was required last year to
finance our public schools. No other
single activity Of the State costs its
citizens so much, with the exception
of roads.
while the taxes for school pur-
poses seem large, we could much
more easily meet the payments If we
would save on pleasure and luxuries.
A small cut in movies and candy,
tobacco and cosmetics, ice cream and
pleasure gasoline, would produce for
almost every taxpayer a neat sum
with which to pay the taxes applied
to meet the costs Of schools"
THE opening of school is signifi-
cant, too, because of it's social re-
adjustment. Six hundred thousand
boys and girls take on different
habits, shift their interests and form
new associations. Withal, there is
pronounced change in the condi-
tons under which they live.
Both pupil and teacher should
have satisfactory conditions under
which to live and work in the school
room. The responsibility for pro-
viding them rests largely with
school officials. They should, there
fore, be Jealous to provide the bodily
comforts that guarantee good health.
To this end water supply. ventila-
ton, heating arrangements, OPP
portunities for recreation and play,
and toilet facilities require attention.
They should provide, also, for con-
ditions favorable to study. A COM
Portable body is a good beginning.

adequate. Moreover, conditions favor
able for the building of a righteous
character should exist. This means
artistically decorated and well-kept
rooms, an attractive yard and lawn
and clean and well-ordered toilets
The school atmosphere should be
wholesome and the school tone fun
of respect and reverence. The most
important factor that shapes
character in the schoolroom is the
teacher. Therefore, let the teacher.
