express to the general government
our attachment to the fundamental
principles of legislation prescribed
by congress in their ordinance for
the government of this territory,
particularly as respects personal
freedom and involuntary servitude,
and hope they may be continued as
the basis of the Constitution.
A census taken in 1916 shows that
the total population, covering thir-
teen counties, was 63,897 with 12,112
voters. Knox cuonty, the largest,
had 8,068 persons and 1891 voters.
Members of the state conStitu-
tional convention met gravely in
Corydon, the capital, June 10, 1916,
to deliberate on laws. During the
heat of the drowSy summer days
they met under the cooling shade
of an old elm tree on the banks of
Big Indian creek. The tree, spread

more than fifty feet high, still
stands in all its sylvan grandeur.

President James Madison signed
the document that officially made
Indiana state in the Union, Dec.
II, 1916. Indiana, history reveals,
was an ideal territory for a state
1t was vigorous and with rude sim
plicity was pushing itself into a
powerful domain.
Revering the eventful Dec. II, the
general assembly of 1925 set aside
that date to be observed by public
meetings and exercise by schools
and patriotic organizations. And
how different scene presents itself
today as the state, passing from the
agricultural era into the industrial

In the corridors of the past, be-
fore the memory of any living
HooSier, is recorded the prosaic
statement that on Dec. IA, 1915 the
territorial legislature adopted a
memorial asking congress to admit
Indiana into the union, declaring
that it had exceeded the requisite
10000 free white population.
Long before the abolition move
ment had broken out into a flaming
political battle, Indiana had flung
out challenge for personal liberty.
The memorial reads: And where
as the inhabitants of this territory
are principally composed of emf
grants from every part of the union,
and as various in their customs and
sentiments as in their persons. we
think it prudent. at this time. to

than she sat down again, crying.
When the teacher asked what was
the trouble, mother sobbed out that
her father had lots of corn and
could give the little boy plenty.
Another story 1 have heard her
tell of that first winter at school
is about the day a group of boys
dared her to take off her shoes and
stockings and walk barefooted along
the rails between the hitching posts
surrounding the school yard.
1t was bitter cold but, I'M
daunted, mother stripped off her
shoes and stockings and successfully
walked on the icy rails. That night
her feet were sore and blistered.
Mother. always explicitly truthful,
told grandmother just what had
happened and I'm sure that, as she
listened, my grandmother had an
understanding smile.
Because she was i'll so much, my
mothers attendance at school was
very irregular until she was IA.
Then she entered the Grand
Prairie Seminary and Commercial
college at Onarga. She was en-
rolled as a special student.

men-Join The Times Bowling School

Bowling is participants
game. In most games the many
watch, the few perform; but in
bowling the many bowl. If you
watch the game very long, you
begin to want to take part in it,
too. 1t is a game in which many
entire families join. 1t is an ideal
way for husband and wife or
young couples to spend an eve
ming. The very fact that it does
not take unusual strength or abil-
ity to get not only pleasure, but
good scores, gives the game a uni
versal appeal.
ALSO bowling is unique in that,
while in most forms of competi-
ton you have to take your oppon-
ents ball. as in basket ball, tennis,
volley ball or baseball, your OPP
ponent making it difficult for you
as he can; but in bowling, you
have no opponents, only COMPETE
tors, because you have your own
ball and can use all your skill
without being hampereo with OPP
position. You can practice as
much as you pleased without the
inconvenience of changing into
special uniforms or apparel, and
your success in the game depends
upon your own efforts entirely.
also bowling is a game that is
unique in that nobody ever has
been able to perfect it to the point
where he rolls high scores all the
time. On the other hand the low
average bowler oftentimes run
into wonderful scores. Three years
ago in Buffalo, N. Y, girl in
league play rolled a perfect score
of 300. Yet she had only a .13C
league average.

become q doctor if her life were
spared.
She was 18 then. She would have
begun studying medicine as soon as
she was graduated from the semi
nary, but her father objected. He
said her health would not stand the
strain.
This could not stop mother. She
bought a fine set of books on anat-

over them every evening. Her days

She was obliged to work to pay
for her living as we'll as her school
expenses, because her father still
was fatty opposed to her effort to
become a doctor.
Throughout her years of study at
the university, her father continued
to disapprove her pursuit. In spite
of this encouragement mother was
graduated with honors in 1895.
She was given post as instructor
at the university and continued to
teach there until she developed
tuberculosis. To overcome this she
was sent to Denver.
1t was during her senior year at
Northwestern that one day mother
was sent by professor to the Col
Iege of Physicians and Surgeons to

The slides had been prepared by
