keep HANDS OF
CHILDREN BUSY
Ingenuity Shown in Exhibit
of School Pupils Work
At Teachers Library.

While all the Indianapolis grown
ups fused around last year with
the heavy problems of running the
town, building memorials and dig
ging bitches, thousands OF little
hands and minds of Indianapolis
school children we're intent upon
book and paper projects.
But for ali the fussing, rushing
and money grabbing the school chill
dren may have as much to show for
a years work as the whole town to-
gether.
Over in the Teachers Special
Library dozens of pictures, books,
costumes, notebooks, musical instru-
ments, dolls and pictures are on dis
play representing the music activ-
tiles and materials Of all the Indi-
annapolis public schools for last year.
SO Schools Represented
Which goes to show that if child
can't build house neither can dad
or mother make drum out OF an
oat meal box or play Hansen and
Gretel.
All the high schools as we'll as
elementary schools have music work
or display. Only six schools besides
the new schools our of eighty-nine
are not represented in the exhibit.
Every type of music study from
the chants of the American Indian
to foreign folk lore is represented by
drawings, costumes, pictures and
other work.
Many Of the lower grades of the
elementary schools were organized
into juvenile bands and orchestras.
Little handmade hats, coats and
trousers of the musicians" were ex-
hibited around the library walls.
Many school bands made their own
instruments using cereal boxes and
heavy wire for drums and triangles,
or baby Fathers for sleigh bells.
Daily Musical Programs
In one corner is a marionette
setting with miniature characters
made by the children. In another,
is a brilliantly painted scene from
"Hansel and Gretel." Two lone In
dams, gifts of the educational mu-
scum, stand solemly by their birch
bark canoe and tepee representing
the study of Indian music in the
schools.
Stacks of music notebooks from
both high schools and grades are
shown. On the display boards may
be found original musical compost
tons of students or drawings show
ing the correlations between music
and geography, history, or art.
The exhibit is given under the
auspices of the music department
and directed by Miss Lorle Krull
and Ernest G. Hesser, head Of the
department. Musical programs were
given each afternoon of this week.

FUTURE SCHOOL
TEACHERS TRAIN
IN CLASSROOM
56 Butler Students Spend
Hour Daily Teaching
Pupils at Arsenal High. :

About fifty-six students of the
education department of Butler Uni
versity are spending one hour every
day facing the "terrors" of the
school rooms at Arsenal Technical
High School as part of their train
ing to become future teachers.
1.-THE attitude of the high school
students toward their practice
teachers is very good" said Prof.
Lee o. CARRIER, a director of practice
teaching of the education course at
Butler. "1'hey seem to take the But
Ter cadets as seriously as if they
we're their real teachers"
Teach Every Day
The cadets teach their major sub
ject one hour every day at Tech
nical. In the summer they practice
on classes at Shortridge High School
The colored students will now go to
the new Crispus Attucks High
School. Each Butler student goes
into the class and substitutes for the
real teacher. They are visited once
every two weeks by Prof. CARRIER who
checks them "in action"
The course in practice teaching
was first offered at Butler in 1920,
three years before the State Depart
ment of Education required it of all
applicants for first grade teachers
licenses.
At that time, DR.. w. L. Richard
son, head of the education depart
ment, was the only member of the
practice teaching department. The
first year the course attracted only
seven students. Last year 1877 were
enrolled. Six faculty members now
spend most of their time supervis-
ing the cadets.
Work With Same Class
The course has proved a success
in giving senior students actual ex-
perience in the classroom before
they graduate. They are assigned
at the beginning of the semester
to one of a staff of regular teachers
of the school. The cadets then
meet the same class every day dur
ing the entire semester, either help
ing the teacher, doing actual teach
ing, or observing the regular teacher
at work.
The work at Butler is similar to
Indiana University, the University
of Chicago, the University of Cleve-
land, and others where the city
schools used to give the cadets ex-
perience.
The Butler University Student
Teachers Association is made up Of
students who are going to teach
The organization is social and pro-
fesSional.

Teacher at Shortridge Is
Leader in Literary Work.
Mrs. Carey Is Oldest In
Structor in Point of
Service.

Mrs. Angelina Parmenter Carey's
remembrance of early days at Short
ridge High School is just one yea1
longer than any other teacher now
in the school. Mrs. Carey became
a member of the Shortridge faculty
in 1882.
Since then she has done consid-
cradle literary work of distinction.
She is the author of a text book
caAed 1.-THE Readers Basis" which
was used for many years in all the
upper junior English classes in
Shortridge. She was co-author with
Miss Catherine Dunn of Washing
ton, 2. c., in the writing of 1.-THE
Hoosier Year Book" an anthology
of quotations from 1865 Hoosier au-
thors. Her poems appear in two
anthologies of Hoosier verse, en-
diana Authors and Indiana
Poetry"
Pupils Become Writers
Her poem 1.-THE Light. of Stars
has become the official poem at
Shortridge at each Arnistice Day
memorial meeting in memory of the
Shortridge gold tsar dead.
Among Shortridge English stu
dents who claim Mrs. Carey as their
introduction to the pleasures of
writing are Hildegarde Flanner, the
poet, and Ben Douglass, well known
as a nature story writer.
Mrs. Carey has taken serious
interest in her work as member Of
the Indianapolis Womans' Club.
Year after year she has prepared
carefully worked out studies of
Renan, Tolstoi, George Bernard
Shaw, and others as her part of it's
programs. n
Attends Many Schools
She has had an active part in the
organization of the Federation of
Indianapolis Public School Teach
ers, the Teachers Mutual Benefit
Association and the Association of
High School Teachers.
Mrs. Carey was born in Troy, N.
Y, daughter of a bridge and
arsenal builder of French descent
and a mother who came from an
old Massachusetts, line of whalers
and commanders of sea-going ships.
She received her education in the
Troy schools and later in the Emma
Willard College. She has since ia
ken summer courses in oxford Uni
versity, England; Harvard Univer-
sity, and at the University of Chi
cago.

TOO MICH DITCH

Taxes in Pine county may be high
enough, and two or three land COM
panies have refused to pay their taxes
in the eastern portion of the county
claiming they are excessive on wild
land, which makes it hard on the ac-
tual settlers who have to keep up the
school, township and other expenses,
but Pine county as a whole is sitting
pretty and things are going fine here
when compared to the counties of
Beltrami, Lake of the Woods and
Koochiching.
Two legislative committees-one on
forestry taxation and the other on 10
cal taxation and Indebtedness have
recently spent a few days in those
counties going over the situation.
They find that the counties have been
bonded to the skies for the purpose of
digging bitches some of which do no
good to anybody, only created job
for the ditch contractors. At the
time the ditch bonds were issued and
the bitches dug it required but eight
property owners along the proposed
ditch to sign up and petition for the
ditch. This loosely gotten up law
was taken advantage of and some
body has to pay the price now, and
it is all the settlers. Issuing bonds
right and left is a serious matter and
should be guarded against.
Lieutenant Governor w. I. Nolan,
member of the committee making
the investigation, said:
"The problem is the most serious
economic question facing the state
today. The counties are unable to
handle it and the state will have to
help them out in some way. We have
obtained very good picture of the
conditions, and now we will try to
work out some plan of relief.
Three counties are carrying some
$3,5O0,0O in ditch bonds, which when
issued were supposed to be paid by
the benefited land. One tract of 70O,-
900 acres through which we passed
was drained but is worthless except
as a possible supply of peat for fuel.
The land is delinquent and will be-
come the property of the state. The
counties have not even been paying
I interest on the bonds, except by is
suing refunding bonds. The principal
of the bonds falls due in a few years,
not to exceed fifteen years.
"The counties want the state to
help them by getting longer time to
handle the bonds, and reduction of
interest charges, now 5 or per cent"
