are better of than in most states
but teachers are carrying heavier
loads with less pay.
Outstanding warrants against
school districts increased $1,000, 900
in the last year, in contrast to a
much larger percentage of delin-
quency in taxes. While delinquent
cies on school taxes rose $4,000, 900
the schools were able to keep the
increased warrant debt down to
one-fourth by a new statute.
The new barefoot schoolboy law
passed by the 1893 legislature
brought schools money from a tax
levied on business revenues and
took off some of the load on real
property.
Under the old setup, elementary
and high schools received "a per
cent of their revenue from the state,
SO per cent from the district and
IA per cent from the county.
The new business tax boosts the
states share up to 48 per cent and
drops the counties to less than 10
per cent.
Teachers pay warrants have been
selling in some places at discount
of 5 to Is per cent, but recent
delinquent tax sale" held by the
state brought in flood of delin-
quent taxes. A greatly improved
warrant situation will result by Jan.
l, it is expected.
Under the new set-up, schools get
81 100000 year from the state per-
manent school fund, which repre-
sentS interest on investments and
sale of school grant lands. Real
property will contribute 100000

More than 200 Indianapolis and
Indiana singers and musicians will

formance of "Sainte Therese," a
new oratorie composed by Miss
Evangeline Lehman, an American
girl living in Paris, when it is pre-

repeated ovations for the eXcep-
tional merit Of the new oratorio.
Because of her outstanding work,
the composer was decorated by the
French government. This and other
honors place Miss Lehman, gradu-

To present this important work
properly, Elmer Andrew Steffen

OLYMPIA, Wash, Dec. 15.-An
optimistic attitude on educational
affairs in Washington is taken by
DR.. N. D. Showalter, superintendent
of public instruction, who says no
children have been deprived of
chance to go to school.
The depression, however, has not
failed to make inroadS into the state
system. Teachers salaries are 80
per cent lower than three years ago,
845 teachers were cut out last year
and l 200 have been eliminated this
year to pare down expenses. Nearly
$50, 900, 900 was saved in wage slashes.
Expenditures for text books were
cut 80 per cent, maintenance 35 per
cent and libraries % per cent the
past year.
The curtailed number Of teachers,
HIT on June 80, 1888, must handle
larger classes. In three years, 10000
more students attended school, most
of the increase in the high school
division. Financially, the schools

Crucial Moments

History proves it takes only a
moments decision to make or break
us.
At the close of the battle of Sara
toga, General Arnold had a record
that made him national hero. But
the hero became the national
traitor as the result of one wrong
decision. Instead of a monument
to his honor, there is only a niche
left vacant as constant reminder
of his dishonOr.
If Saul of Tarsus had been
stricken dead on the road to Da-
mascus, his record would have been
that of a mere bigoted religious
prosecutor. But Saul's conversion
at that time changed the whole
course Of his life, and be became
Paul the Apostle, honored by all
Christendom.
The New Year cannot change the
deeds of 1893, but the record of
your life is not closed A new year
offers you the opportunity to re-
deem the evil of the past, and make
negligible your weaknesses of the
past by your strength in meeting
situations of the New Year.

The Life of Paul, Philippians
3:1-14, for Sunday, Dec. 81:
How can we keep cheerful in
in dark days?
What effect on ones life is the
constant reference to past success
What of the past should be for
gotten and what remembered?
What did Paul count supreme in
his life?
What was Paul's greatest aim in
life?
How should we handle our diff
culties and differences?
Glorious says: Character is not
judged according to attainment, but
according to attitude. Character is
to be judged by our dreams and
hopes and yearnings rather than by
our acts and deeds. That is the rea.
son that Robert Browning said,
What l aspired to be and was not,
comforts me-"
Lesson prayer: 'We would learn
the art of rejoicing always; and to
this end we would know that joy of
the Lord surprising knowledge, the
joy of fellowship, service and sac
rifice that will make our life ac-
ceptable to God"

The New Year

The New Year season above all
others is time for checking up
and taking inventory of our lives.
We look backward and mediate
upon success and failures, noting
the places where we walked faith
fully in the path of our Father s
will, and where we failed because
we took a course of our own choos-
ing. AS we look forward we won
der what is in store for us. It
seems like darkened vale which
we enter with fear and trembling.
We know that if we go forth each
day with Him who is the Light, we
shall see the right path.
The following are four suggested
ways in which we should look in
our New Year meditations: Into the
past to see what lessons we can
learn for future use; into the future
to see what plans we may profitably
make for the coming year; into. our
hearts to see what our relation is
to Christ, and to Christ who is the
Way, as our leader and guide for
the coming year.

The Life of Paul, Philippians
3:1-14. for Sunday, Dec. 81:
Paul writes to the Philippians to
cheer them in view of their des-
pondency over his Imprisonment, to
express his warm appreciation OF
their gift, to warn them against
false teachings, and to counsel them
to cultivate and exercise the Chris
tian graces.
vi. Finally, my brethren, re-
joice in the Lord" Establish your
joy in the world. Wrap around 1t
the thought of the Lord Jesus, his
grace and his glory. Make your
life one of joy because it is lived in
close fellowship with Jesus Christ.
v. Q. Beware of the dogs, be-
ware of evil workers, beware of the
concision'' Dogs, evil doers and
the concision, these were different
classes of enemies. Dogs barked or
snapped at them, evil doers were
active in evil and malicious opposi-
tion, and the concision were the
Judaizers who insisted on circum-
cision as condition or entrance
into the Christian church.
V. 3. "For we are the circumcis-
ion, who worship God in the spirit,
and glory in Jesus Christ and have
no confidence in the flesh. Con-
cision signifies that the mere OBJ
servance of the rite of circumcis-
ion, without a corresponding faith
and inward obedience, was no bet
ter than a physical mutilation. The
Christians glory is the unique work
for mankind by the Son of God.

have confidence even in the flesh, if

to surrender all things-wealth,

seems good to anyone, Paul insists
that it is not from his own good
ness, but the goodness which he
has been able to attain from God
through faith in Christ and his sac
rificial death. All is to be of God
and Christ, nothing is to be of Paul.
V. 10. ''That l may know him

Paul longs to know Christ with the
intimate knowledge of Christ's
dwelling, not merely with the ex-
terror knowledge of the mind. Paul,
converted by the vision of risen
Christ, made the fact Of Christ's
central in his preach
ing, very vital power. Paul felt
the need of sharing with Christ in
sufferings, that he might also share
with him in triumphs.

LIQUOR CONTROL LAW

The prohibition era in Ohio came
to an end in Ohio, Saturday. 1t is
stated that the measure is much
more favorable to the dry cause
than the temperance advocates had
expected It to be. The new liquor
control law provides:
For sale of liquor by the pack
age, including wines stronger than
3.2 per cent, by drug stores for at
least so days, and possibly for an
other so days if the states liquor
control machinery is not function
ing at the end of the first period.
For the sale of package liquor,
not including wines, from state
stores, at least one to county, as
soon as they can be established af-
ter the 60-day temporary monopoly
given the drug stores, and the es-
tablishing of agencies in municipal
tiles not having state stores.
The sale of liquor by the glass.
including wines, in hotels, clubs and
restaurants as soon as permits can
be issued by the liquor control
board, except in municipalities and
the parts of townships outside of
municipalities which failed to vote
for the repeal Of the prohibition
ton in November. These subdivis-
ions may have sale by the glass by
voting it in.
Beer not stronger than 80 per
cent will be sold as at present and
subject to the local option pro-
visions of the beer bill.
Sale of wines, stronger than 80
and up to and including II per
cent alcohol by volume, by the
package, will be sold, after the tenn
porary monopoly given drug stores
expires, in retail stores licensed by
the state. Package wines will not
be sold in state stores.
The law is to be administered by
board of liquor control of four
members, two Democrats and two
Republicans, to be appointed by the
governor for four-year terms. They
are to receive $4,500 a year, minus
the salary reduction which public
employees are to continue taking in
1884, plus travelling expenses. The
board members must be confirmed
by the senate.
There is to be a director of liquor
control, the chief administrative Of
