A PROGRAM OF IMPROVEMENT AT FRANKLIN COLLEGE The Indiana Baptist Convention has endorsed and pledged its support to a program which will make Franklin the strongest Baptist school in the middle West. In its annual session last week, the convention passed resolutions recommending the raising of $600,000 for new buildings, and $600,000 for endowment, for the Baptist school. The campaign for raising the money has been organized and a effort is being made now to find a man of general reputation who will be thoroughly capable of raising the

money.

As

According to the plans adopted for a greater Franklin, the first building to be erected will be a science building, which will probably cost $125,000. It is hoped that work will begin on this building early next summer. it is now planned, it will be a threestory building, about one hundred and twenty-five by sixty feet, thoroughly modern in every respect. It will contain equipment which will make it possible for the school to offer a two year course in engineering-civil, mechanical or electrical. A second science building will be erected later on to house the chemistry laboratory. The probable cost of the second science building will be $60,000.

The next building to be erected after the main science building will be the men's dormitory. This building will be made of sufficient size to house one hundred men. The estimated cost of such a building is $75,000 to $100,000. A separate dining hall will be built to accommodate both men and women. This will take the dining room out of

the women's dormitory and so increase the comfort of those housed there.

Another building definitely contemplated is the auditorium, which wil be combined either with the administration building or with the conservatory. From present prospects the music department will have to be greatly enlarged in order to meet the growing demand for that line of study. In all probability, the administration will find it desirable to house the music school and the auditorium in the same building. The proposed auditorium will seat at least fifteen hundred people.

The men's gymnasium will be constructed at a cost of $150,000. There will be ample provision for taking care of the spectators at the indoor games. All the equipment will be thoroughly modern. The present gymnasium will be improved and turned over exclusively for the use of the women in the school.

The remainder of the money will be used to buy grounds. It is expected that from thirty to forty acres will be added to the campus.

The funds to be raised for Franklin contribute toward Indiana's share of the twenty-five millions of dollars which have been appropriated by the Northern Baptist Convention for educational purposes.

Students, alumni and friends of Franklin are constantly expressing the deepest appreciation of the stand taken by Indiana Baptists in support of the "greater Franklin" movement. It places the college in a position to function as a truly representative educational institution in the midwest. With a fifty per cent increase in enrollment already this year, there is no apparent reason why the college on the hill may not be ready to use to the fullest extent all the new equipment now proposed. And this is not the end of the movement for a greater Franklin. Franklin. It is recognized as only a beginning. The goal is in reality not less than three or four millions in the near future.

been formed at Hymera.

The school authorities of Parke County are preparing a complete story of the activities of the Parke County schools during the great war for the new history that is being written for that county.

Prof. F. W. Brown, age 81, formerly head of the Department of Latin in Franklin College, died recently at his home in Franklin. Prof. Brown served Franklin College for twenty years.

The pupils and faculty of the Elkhart High School have organized a new English Club.

The new rule of the State Board of Accounts, allowing the attendance officer his expenses under certain conditions, is being taken advantage of in a number of counties. It is to be hoped that eventually all attendance officers will be allowed expense money, since their pay of $2.00 a day is not sufficient even for living purposes, without having to pay traveling expenses out of such a daily wage.

The high school teachers of Spencer County have an association which meets regularly for discussion of school topics.

Every pupil in the class rooms of the Corydon schools contributed to the Roosevelt Memorial Fund.

The Blotter, the New Albany High School semi-monthly newspaper, has over a thousand subscribers.

Summers Manual for use in teaching children to read, published by Lloyd Adams Noble, 31 West 15th Street, New York, which costs only 50 cents, deserves a place on every Primary Teacher's desk, no matter what method of teaching reading may be in use in the school. Its sound pedagogic principles, helpful suggestions about planning the work and correlating blackboard sentences and dramatizations of the lessons with the regular text and the useful Phonic Lessons arranged for the first three years, make a study of the book worth every teacher's while. It will be still more valuable if used in connection with the Summers Primer, First, Second and Third Readers which embody this new way of teaching children to read. Please mention this magazine.
