KEENE DEFIES
GOVERNOR, SAYS
HE WON'T QUIT
Health Board Member Writes
Letter to Jackson on
Vacation.

DR.. T. Victor Keene of Indian
apolis, it was learned today, has
sent letter to Governor Jacksan
refusing to comply with Jackson's
demand he resign from the State
board of health.
Jackson is spepeding a vacation
at the Dunes State Park, and it is
understood he will take no action
until his return, at which time he
is expected to discharge Keene.
Defies Letter
Keene's resignation first was
asked in a conference with Jackson
shortly after the board Of health
preferred charges of malfeasance and
insubordination against DR.. William
F. King, board secretary. Jackson
later sent letter to Keene confirm.
ing his stand. 1t is the letter which
has been defied by Keene.
DR.. King was to have been tried
on the charges Aug. 10, and it was
expected that his removal would
have ensued. Jackson ordered the
meeting postponed and King the
same day obtained court order
temporarily restraining the board
from holding the meeting or inter
fering in any with his duties as sec
Fetary.
Trouble Early
Troubles in the board Of health
began early this year when King
discharged DR.. J. G.. Royse, assistant
secretary, for indifference to duty.
Two new members came on the
board shortl ythereafter and Royse
was reinstated. Feeling between
king and Royse became so bitter
that Governor Jackson struck
RoyAe's name from the tsate pay
roll.
At a later meeting Of the board
a resolution was passed dismissing
two inspectors in one of the depart
ments. King paid no attention to
the resolution At the last meeting
Of the board the charges against
King were preferred.

1911 Ill AOoIOCuIo VI luC C1Gy'
Grouped in twelve major divisions,
the various aspects of Indianapolis
life were revealed to crowds esti-
mated at nearly 10000.
The city's downtown streets were
prepared with elaborate decorations
as a setting for the colorful process
sion. Flags waved from business
establishments. Ropes were stretched
to allow free passage Of the col
umn.
Floats GaiIy Decorated
Hundreds Of gaily decorated floats,
on which rode beautiful women and
which portrayed many aspects of
industrial activity were included.
To the onlooked was revealed
what the city has accomplished dur
ing it's rise from an unknown vii
lage to a center of industry known
throughout the world.
There were the olive drab uniforms
Of soldiers, many Of whom marched
under the colors in 1917, the police
and f1remen, the white uniforms OF
Red Cross nurses and bright attire
Of band members.
The floats, many of them designed
w h artistry n costing
hundreds of dollars, created an in
teresting display of Indianapolis ac-
tivity.
AS the caravan moved through the
city streets, eight airplanes flew
overhead as an escort while the
music of twelve bands and the
kept the paraders moving without
pause.
Miles of Pageantry
Miles and miles of the pageantry
seemed to pass before the eyes of
spectators. The procession started
from North and Meridian SITS. shortly
after p. m. and 1t was more than
three hours before the last float
had passed
Headed by the 18th Infantry band,
following the national colors, an
army escort led the procession.
Then followed the municipal division,
which was at the head of the parade
proper. In the leading car Of this
division rode John F. Walker and
William II. Bailey, who have been
in charge Of most Of the activities
Of Greater Indianapolis Week, Po-
lice Chief Herman F. Rikhoff and
Lieuts. Claude o. and Louis L.
Johnson. They were followed by the
Police and Firemens Band.
Squads of mounted police followed
with a platoon of marching patrol
men. Then came ten pieces of fire
equipment manned by one hundred
firemen.
With Mayor Shank's car was
beautiful float bearing Miss Thelma
Burton, elected Miss Greater Indian
apolis. She was attended by Miss
Edna T. Uphaus and Miss Helen D.
Garrett, who received the next great
est number of votes in the contest
in which the queen was designated.
The float was provided by the In
dianapolis Real Estate Board.
In the municipal division was a
large equipage bearing a huge
municipal seal as the official en-

TOO MUCH CONFUSION

There was once golfer on the
Mont Angel links near the Corniche
above Monte Carlo who would never
blame himself for his bad strokes
Somebody had coughed-somebody
had laughed-somebody had moved
and he had been distracted.
This golfer, bunkered one day.
made a very careful stroke, only to
dig about a square yard of turf. He
looked round at his companions
furiously, but they had all been very
quiet, and it was impossible to COM
plain about them. So then he waved
his hand toward the blue Mediter-
ranean dotted with a few tiny sails'
two thousand feet below.
"How can man play golf!" he
roared, with all those ships rush
ing back and forth"

A REBELLIOUS SCHOOLGIRL
GROWS UP

Ideas are set in motion which rim
pie further and further, with results
affecting the lives of millions. Such
has been the experience of a little
girl born in Durand, tiny village of
wisconsin. Miss Helen Parkhurst
was to become the originator of the
Dalton Plan which is rapidly revolu-
tlonlzing methods of conducting
schools throughout the civilized
world.
Perhaps the most revolutionary
idea of all was put in practice when
Helen Parkhurst said, one day, that
from that time on she was not going
to keep order" in the school. The
pupils would have to keep order
themselves, and would have to
shoulder this responsibility, too.
Furthermore, she added, in the fu-
ture she would not have any rule
fOrbidding the INTO talk to one an
other, provided they talked quietly
about school work. Also, instead of
sitting alone at individual desks, two
or three or four who were studying
the same lesson could gather around
the table in the library" and help
each other. When they came upon
some difficulty none of them could
understand, they could ask her, and
she would explain it clearly. This
conception Of individual instruction
worked out with simplicity and eff
fectiveness.
The children are allowed to ar
range their ow ntime, instead of
having to devote a certain specified
period to this or that study. If a
child completes in less than a week
the full contract for all the studies,
he may ask for a test, successful
passing of which permits him to
take up another weeks contract
without waiting for the rest of the
class to catch up. In this way the
unusually bright pupil can go ahead
steadily and rapidly, without being
held back to dead level by pupils
less quick. And the teacher is saw
ed the hard task of dragging, and
pushing forward pupils who are lazy
or who are not Intellectually keen.
For older pupils contracts are given
out for full month in advance, to-
gether with outlines of lessons pre-
pared so as to be both helpful and
interesting. 1t may sound difficult,
but it isn't. And the main thing is
that it works.-Everybody's Maga-
zine.

JUST THE DISTANCE

A traveller riding over the north

Matter live near here?"
NO." was the reply.
"Well, do you happen to know
