Best Pupils Not Retarded in
One Room Institution
Near Columbus.

~ tWeS Special
COLUMBUS, Ind, Dec. 27-An
experiment in education which is
attracting wide attention is being
made in the one-room Mt. Pleasant
school two and one-half miles south
west of Columbus. Miss Grace
Walker is the teacher.
There are eighteen pupils, from
primary class to the seventh grade.
Eleven of these are classed as spe-
cial pupils, and are permitted to
proceed as rapidly as they are able,
without reference to progress Of
other pupils.
There is no general course Of
study in the school and no disci-
pline Of the formal kind. Even reci-
tations are not by classes except in
the first two groups.
A pupil especially apt in arith-
metic spends less time on that sub
ject than one who finds it difficult
and the same rule is applicable to
other subjects. This, Miss Wal
ker points out, prevents a pupil from
being overworked, and does not
compel a stronger pupil to be held
back by the weaker ones.
There is no discipline problem and
no problem cases" the teacher says,
as she keeps the children busy and
interested.
Miss Walker, graduate of Ball
State Teachers college at Muncie,
is in her third year of teaching.

ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 27.-Set-
tlement of a year-old lawsuit in
United States district court at
Peoria, Ill, will enrich several An
derson residents to the extent of
$185, 900. Stockholders in the de-
funct Midwest Engine Company,
seeking to recoup losses sustained in
the collapse of the former Indian
apolis industry, brought suit against
E. P. Derkman, Illinois millionaire.
The case dragged through mani
pulations of Denkman's attorneys
until recently, when it was sub
mitted for trial at Peoria.
Under the terms of an agreement
entered into by Denkman and stock
holders, money paid by the former
will be distributed among share
holders at the rate of $14.45 on each
500 invested. Stoughton Fletcher,
former Indianapolis capitalist, was
co-guarantor with Denkman of

Pump Company, a pioneer Ander-
son industry, and the two were
merged.

COURT FORBIDS
ENTRY OF NEW
TAX SUIT PARTY
Opponents of Higher Levy
at Anderson Apparently
Unable to Act.

BIZ Times Special
ANDERSON, Ind, Dec. 27.-Judge
Carl F. Morrow of Madison circuit
court, has refused to permit Earl
c. Morris, former county treasurer,
to become party to a suit in which
the old National bank of Fl. Wayne
seeks an order to compel the Ander-
son city council to make a special
tax levy of Al cents for next year
as a means Of raising money to pay
off certificates of Indebtedness
which the bank holds.
Morris sought to enter the suit in
the role of a taxpayer to resist i'm
position of the special levy.
The case was another move in the
Anderson city administrations fight
resisting action of the state board
of tax commissioners in reducing a
levy of $1.03 set by the city council,
to 70 cents. The administration is
siding with the bank in the case.
Unless taxpayers who oppose the
special levy can devise some means
of getting into the litigation, it ap-
parently will be uncontested.
