f> a goodly portion of the annual Christ

NATURAL FOR CHILDREN
TO ENJOY MUSIC, CLAIM
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 5.—Spank
ings and music lessons no longer
go hand in hand.
The modern child does not sneak
out the side door to join companions,
or sit wistfully on the piano bench
and dream of the “gang” or the “ol’
swimmin’ hole.”
This is a far cry from the boys
and girls not many years ago who
thought it was “sissiefied” to take
music lessons.
Nevertheless it is true. Take that
from Miss Lorain St. John, of Jop
lin, Mo., a music teacher, who spoke
at the convention of the Missouri
Music Teachers’ association here.
Miss St. John said that it is just
normal for children to be musical
as it is for birds to sing.
She also said young children do
rot care for jazz. “If started cor
rectly,” children will learn to appre
ci ite real music.
BLIND PEOPLE SEE MOVIES
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.—By the aid of
an ingenious new invention, 1200 men,
woman and children,, totally blind,
sat in a darkened theatre here and
sawT their first motion picture. The
invention read the narrative to them
by the aid of special rhythmic sounds
enabled the blind audience to con
ceive the story as it was unreeled
on the screen for the regular audi
>
ence.

RILEY’S DREAM
HAS COME TRUE;
CRIPPLES HAPPY
Indtrnpolis, Jan. 5.—“Jim” Riley
could look down from heaven todav
on a place of hope, a ‘Un i where
nreams come true.”
In a $2,000,000 haven of health,
the first of its kind in the country,
twenty “happy little cripples” have
found promise of relief. And the
Hoosier poet’s song of prophecy
of a time when “nary child in In
dianny will have curvature of the
spine” has come true.
Eight years ago James Whitcomb
Riley, the bachelor who loved all
children and wrote immortal poems
about them, laid down his golden
pen and waved farewell. But the
noble nature of his spirit lingered
on, and the Riley Hospital for Chil
dren, erected by the people of In
diana, is ready to perpetuate his
dreams of cheer.
The hospital had its inception in
the minds and hearts of men and
women composing the Riley Memor
ial association. No monument, no
edifice to him whose life was love
itself, could be more fitting. The
late war interferred with their plans,
but in 1920, the state legislature
voted to make the proposed hospital
a part of Indiana university and ap
propriated $125,000 as a nucleus for
the building fund. Then it set aside
$75,000 a year for two years and
$50,000 annually thereafter as a
maintenance fund.
Counties Subscribe.
Popular subscription campaigns
immediately organized, added to the
total a sum of $1,086,056. Forty of
the state’s ninety-two counties have
subscribed, and campaigns are pro
gressing in the remainder.
In 1923 the legislature appropriat
ed an additional $150,000 for a
power plant to serve the Riley hos
pital, the Robert Long hospital and
the Indiana School of Medicine,
which, with the City hospital, situ
ated only a few blocks away, com
prises one of Ihe greatest hospital
units in the United States.
With the present capacity of 120
patients a month, the hospital is to
have additional facilities, making
possible the accommodation of a
total of 400 or more children a month
and approximately 3,500 a year. The
new buildings will include another
service unit and a convalescent home
to be erected by the Rotary clubs of
GERHARD JOHNSEN
Mason and Plasterer
Phone Adams 60 Box 1423
Indiana, at a cost of $250,000. A
twenty-five acre park and play
ground is to be added.
Any practicing physician or sur
geon in the state may bring his pa
tient to the hospital and there care
for him. The services of a lull staff
of doctors and nurses, regularly at
tached to the hospital will be at
command. Admission to the insti
tution is gained through application
to the county courts, the judges to
decide whether the invalid’s parents
shall pay for the treatment and, if
so, in what amount.
Will Receive Poor.
Those who cannot afford to pay
will be given the same attention, in
the same wards, as the others and
will be allowed to stay until cured.
The county from which they come
will bear the expense. Any child in
the state under 16 years of age will
be admitted. Already there have
been seventy-five applications from
forty counties.
Mark Noble, 10, of Decafur, In
diana, helpless for seven years as
the result of an attack of infantile
paralysis, was the first patient to be
treated. His brave spirit and un
yielding confidence has been a joyful
example for the other little cripples
and a Recompense to those -whose
sacrifices have made possible his
chance to run and play as normal
boys and girls do.
Authors, educators, business and
professional men and women have
been instrumental in making the
hospital a reality, and prominent
among them are George Ade, Booth
Tarkington and Meredith Nicholson,
all Indiana authors; William Lowell
Bryan, president of Indiana univer
sity; Frederick Shortmeyer, secre
tary of state; George A. Ball, of
Muncie, manufacturer and philan
thropist, and Dr. Carleton B. Mc
Culloch, who was Riley’s personal
physician.
1,000,000 AMERICAN
CHILDREN AT WORK
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.—One million
children slaving their childhood and
all their future usefulness away,
and 200,000 children coming before
courts each year, dependent and de
linquent—these are the responsibil
ity of every thinking woman in the
United States, according to Miss
Mary L. Downes, high chief ranger
of the Women’s Catholic Order of
Foresters.
“The appeal of the 1,000,000 little
wage slaves,” Miss Downes said in
a speech here, “has aroused the in
terest of the 70,000 members of the
Women’s Catholic Order of Forest
ers, and in all the thirty-two states
in which wre have courts these wo
men will ask their legislatures to
ratify the child labor amendment to
the constitution.”

MOST MODERN
PRISON HAS
HOME COMFORT
JOLIET, 111., Jan. 5—The worlds
most modern penal institution—the
rew Illinois state penitentiary at
Joliet—has just bemi opened. Sur
rounded by a solid concrete wall, lit
feet high and a mile and a half
long, are the buildings, magnificent
ly constructed, and probably the
most hygienic prison buildings ever
constructed.
| In the foreground is the adminis
tration building, housing the clerical
forces of the penal institution.
On the outer edges of the 'square
! are the factories, in which all the
prisoners are employed daily.
The group of round buildings are
the cell blocks, where each convict
has an individual cell, provided with
comfortable cot, toilet and running
water. Owing to the roundness of
the building each cell has an indi
; vidual window, while additional light
' and air are brought in through the
| huge skylights in the center of the
i dome of each building.
In these domes, too, are located
the lookout towers for each cell
black, and from these towers levers
control the operation of every cell
I door.
In the center of the group of
round buildings is the dining hall,
connected by an enclosed passage
way with each of the cell houses,
overed passageways, too, lead from
the cell blocks to the factories.
Compared with the Bridewrells ot
a half century ago, this prison is a
modern hotel.

ONLY ONE IN THREE
ATTENDS CHURCH SERVICE
IN GREAT BRITAIN
LONDON, Jan. 5.—The churches
of Great Britain have increased in
membership in the last year on a
scale not recorded since the great
Welsh Revival. With three small
exceptions, the Church in Wales, the
Scottish Episcopal Church and the
United Free Church of Scotland, ev
ery denominatiion has increased ts
number of communications or mem
bers, the total increase recorded be
ing 110,000.
While this increase has been
made in the adult section of the
churches, there has been a decrease
of 23,662 in the number of Sunday
School scholars.
The strength of the churches in
Great Britain is summarized as fol
lows :
Communcants and members 5,
846,187; Sunday School scholars, 5,
495,292; Roman Catholic population
(England and Wales 1,997,250, mak
ing a total of 13,338,729. These fi
gures, however, are not complete,
as they do not include the statis
tics of the Salvation Army, the Free
Church of Scotland, the Unitarians,
except as to their Sunday schools,
and a number of smaller commun
ions, such as the Plymouth Breth
ren. As affording a fairly complete
record, however, the figures may
be compared with the last popula
tion census of 42,767,530. On the
basis, one person in every three is
associated definitely with a Christ
tian church.
