NOVEL DISPLAY
OF TINY DOGS
is ARRANGED
StatuetteS Range From Half
Inch to Six Inches High
at Library.

One of the most novel collections
in indianapolis will be displayed
next week in the children's room
of the public library, st. Clair and
Meridian streets, under the direc-
ton of Miss Carrie Scott, children's
city librarian.
The collection is composed of more
than 100 miniature dogs of all breeds
and sizes, ranging from one about
half an inch high to another six
inches high. One hundred ten were
collected by Miss Lucetta Ohr, and
several we're loaned by Mrs. F. E.
MoskovicS.
Many of the little dogs are quite
inexpensive, while others cost as
high as $40. One is more than one
hundred years old. Several were
collected by Miss Ohr while travel
ing on the continent. The collection
of the dog statuettes are her hobby,
and the unusual collection has a
high value.
Case to Be Moved.
The display was in the art room
of the library, but so many chill
dren came to see it that the case
is to be moved. 1t replaces the
miniature layout of the proposed
municipal flying field constructed
and loaned by L. S. Ayres Company.
The airport is lighted and has a
flashing signal. Tiny planes are
grouped about the hangers, and a
blimp is moored in one corner. The
entire field is about twelve feet
long.
Replacing the dog exhibit in the
art room is a display of Ruman-
ian work by relatives of children
of Rumanian parentage. Among
the exhibits is a box pleated and
embroidered skirt containing about
five yards of material. It is en-
t1rely hand made.
Show Brilliant Apparel
Then. there are two scarfs which
were made entirely at home in
Rumania from the growing Of silk
worms to weaving the homemade
thread. There are many other bril-
liantly colored pieces Of wearing ap-
apparel.
Donors of the exhibit all are from
School S. They are Lenifta Aard-
lean, Victoria Poshia, Victoria Mar
culescu, Nick Vulk, Mary Andre,
Mary Maxine and Virginia Bolint.
The display is directed by Miss
Evelyn Sickels, head Of the school
division of the library.

SCHOOLS HELD
TOO YOUNG TO
TEACH RELIGION
Question of Bible Study Law
Perplexing, Writes
Miller.

"The public schools are not yet
old enough in experience to permit
satisfactory introduction of reli-
gious materials in the curriculum .
says Charles F. Miller, city superin-
tendent of schools in the current
issue of Our City Schools public
school home organ.
1.-THE coming legislature, which
meets in January, 1929, will consid-
er the question once more, just as
every legislature in Indiana is re-
queSted to hand down a statute
which will bring some type of reli-
gious instruction into the schools"
he said.
Religious instruction in Indian
apolis at present is limited to read
ing of Bible passages without per-
sonal comment on the part of
teachers.
No Question of Worth
"But there is no question that
great good could come from the in
PRODUCTION of the great moral and
character building fundamentals of
religion into our school programs.
"The Legislature in 1865 approved
single phrase: The Bible shall
not be excluded from the public
schools of this state
Again in 1925 the state Legisla-
ture made it permissible for STU
dents to elect course in religion in
the state schools of higher educa-
ton for credit, provided these
courses were taken in a school that
was not supported by state taxes.
"The challenge for Christian
men and women in this situation
does not require a combination to
force bill for religious instruction
through committee hands of the
legislative body and on to the stat
ute books.
Open Mindedness Urged
1.-THE real challenge is of deeper
significance and requires Christian
men and women Of our state to
combine energies in the task of
providing a certain unification of
social consciousness among men.
1.-THE church, the home, and the
schools have contributed to the
present social consciousness. That
the results lack unity, in so far as
religion is concerned, is evident
fom the legislative situation cited.
"The question of the introduction
Of religious instruction into the
schools is one that needs to be
faced with open nindedness by
all" said Miller.

COURSE ADDED
IN 'SUCCESS'AT
BROAD RIPPLE
Show Failures the Right
Way Is Intention of
School Principal.

A course in success" is being in
augurated in Broad Ripple high
school through work of K. v. AM
norman, principal.
Outstanding successes and mis-
cradle failures both are problems Of
the average school, 1t is said. More
attention, of course, has been given
to the failures, usually on the mega
tive side. A student as failure is
told not to do his work a certain
way.
But under the new plan outlined
by zimmerman in the current issue
Of Our City Schools" house organ
Of the public schools, a failure will
be treated in a positive manner. He
will be told to do certain thing
"this way" rather than not to DO
it "that way"
Plans Constructive Aid
This procedure may be compared
to two farmers living side by side,
one Of whom is a success and the
other a failure" says zimmerman.
1.-THE policies and practices of the
successful farmer when put in prac-
tice by the one who is failing might
result in his success.
II am capitalizing on ones
achievement rather than on his
failures. 1t is useless to discover a
fault when there is no substitute
to take its place,
II hope, through research within
my school, to be able to holdup be-
fore any pupil who wishes to sue
coed a plan which can indorse be-
cause it has been tried and found
workable" j..
COnfers With Students
zimmerman is having a series Of
conferences with the most success
full students individually and in
groups to determine the method
through which they gained success
in their school work. Questionnaires
and discussions also are being used.
1t is hoped, before the end Of the
school year, to have a plan which
any pupil can follow to success.

EARTH CLIMATE
MAPS MADE

Blank maps on which the
weather of the entire world may
be recorded have been developed
by the Smithsonian Institution, it
was announced today.
The maps were devised by DR..
C. G. Abbot, secretary of the insti.
tuition, to supplement the World
Weather Records a publication
issued last summer by the estab-
hshment.
Two types of maps have been
prepared. One shows the world a.
an ellipse. The other shows the
world in two halves, northern and
southern.
The maps were left, DIR. Abbot
explained, so that investigators will
be able to chart the data contained
in "World Weather Records" graph
ically.
1T is possible" he said, that
relationships in the weather of diff
ferent and widely separated parts
of the world will be revealed by
such charts as will permit the in
vestigators to deduce principles or
laws which govern world weather.
Once we know these laws, forecast
ing may be much farther advanced
than it can ever be with our
present limited knowledge"
