SCHOOLS. TAKE
PART IN ANNUAL
FUND CAMP AICN
Acquainted by Teachers
With Welfare Work
Carried Out.

All the eighty-six Indianapolis
schools are taking an active part in
the tenth annual Community Fund
campaign, which opened Nov. is and
will close Nov. IS, it was announced
today at Community Fund head
quarters.
Pupils are not solicited for funds,
but it is the aim of teachers to &C
quaint them with the welfare work
done by the Community Fund.
Teachers are responding with
pledges. Last year 1888 school
teachers subscribed $10,6S875 to the
fund, and campaign leaders are ex-
pecting this to be equaled or ex-
ceeded in the present drive.
Presenting Plays
Many schools are presenting plays
with Community Fund agencies as
their topics, and it is estimated that
$4,000 school children will take part
in plays and programs during the
drive.
Work of the Community Fund in
supporting thirty-five welfare agen-
cies offers excellent material for
study of civic enterprises in classes,
teachers assert, This study is not
limited to the period of the drive,
but is continued throughout the
year as practical social material for
pupils.
Twenty-Five thousand school
books issued by the publicity depart
ment of the Community Fund to
third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades
of public and parochial schools are
receiving attention. The book con-
tains lessons in English compost
ton, arithmetic and art.
Play as Social Factors
Purposes of interesting support Of
school children are to lead them to
appreciate the part they play as
social factors in betterment of the
city, to show eash child how the
school through his education is aid
ing the community, and to acquaint
each child with welfare work.
The booklets we're Endorsed by
Charles F. Miller, city school super
intendent, in a special letter to
teachers and principals. The Com
munity Fund school committee in
cludes: Mrs. Royal McClain, chair
man; Charles F. Miller, the Rev.

STATE LIBRARY
SYSTEM IN USE
over CENTURY
Nearly Five Million Volumes
Now Are Accessible
to Public.

AS school children, Librarians, and
civic club members of Indiana are
taking part in the national celebra-
ton of Good Book Week. the story
of the rise of Indiana's library sys-
tenn is being reviewed in many
schools.
The system started in the days
when Indiana territory was the
western frontier. and now embraces
every county with buildings con-
tanning over 100000 volumes of
books.
Libraries in Indiana date back to
q meeting of citizens in VincenneS
during the governorship of William
Henry Harrison in 1906. The Vim
cennes circulating library was then
formed and was active until the
Civil war.
One of First
When Indiana was admitted to
the Union, the constitutional con-
vention of 1916 resolved that the
general assembly appropriate money
ito purchase books for a library
for use of the legislature and other
officers Of government" This was
the beginning of the present In
diana State Library, founded nine
years later, which was among the
frst six established in this country.
Additional legislation for the
period from 1916 to 1850 was pro-
vided, and the census of 1850 shows
that fifty-eight county libraries
were in existence, containing $4,000
volumes.
The names Of Robert Dale owen
of New Harmony. and Caleb Mills,
father of free schools in Indiana,
are intimately associated with the
establishment of greater libraries
in the state. Then support reverted
to the townships along with the
free school system, and for three
years following 1850 approximately
$4,000 was spent among the
townships and about 300 volumes
put in each.
Commissioner Named in 1899
Establishment of the Public
Library commission in 1899, through
the interest of the Union Literary
Clubs, proved to be the opening of
a new era, which along with gifts
OF Andrew Carnegie have brought
libraries to the fore in Indiana.
More than 100 Carnegie buildings
have been erected. In all there are
over 200 libraries in the state, the
largest of which is the Indianapolis
public library, with its beautiful
central building and 100000 volumes.
other first class library cities of
the state are located in FIT. Wayne,
Evansville, South Bend, Gary and
Terre Haute.
The first library institute to be
held in the United States is said
to have been conducted by Miss
Cornelia Marvin in the Indianapolis
public library in 1896.
Have 100000 Volumes
Along with the state aided
libraries, various schools of the state
nave DuIiI up IdIBe COlIeCGlOuS Vi
books on all subjects of interest to
students.
Among these are the Indiana uni
versity library with approximately
100000 books; thePurdue university
library at Lafayette with $4,000
volumes dealing in special fields,
and the two Indiana State normal
schools at Terre Haute and Muncie,
Jhe former with a fine library of
over 100000 volumes.

1000 PUPILS AT TECH
ELECT LATIN STUDY
Teachers See Disregard of Easier
Subjects Good Indication.

More than one thousand pupils
are studying Latin at Technical
high school this semester. Forty of
this number elected Virgil and thir-
teen chose Cicero, judged to be the
most difficult subjects in the high
school curriculum.
Teachers say the fact that so many
take this subject, when easier sub
jects might be studied, is indication
that youths of today do not always
choose "the easy way"
The following beginning Latin pu-
pills received A-plus grades for the
first month: Ernest Harrison, Mar
garet Hedges, Clifford Hewitt, Jack
Cronin, Blanche Rife, Millicent
Cummings. Paul Henderson, Mary
Morrison, Georgia Paidrick, Lois
Wilson, Frank Bridges, Harold Kott-
lowski and Florence Norris.
