Teachers in Wooster and Wayne County schools may bob their hair without fear ot losing their jobs. "I don't think that school authorities who ask men no questions about smoking have any right to say whether or not girl teachers may bob their hair," declared County Superintendent G. U. Baumgardner, who has been at the head of Wayne County schools five years. "I'm not a crank on smoking," Prof.

Baumgardner explained, "but I think that, as an example to pupils, smoking is more serious than bobbed hair. We have numerous teachers in the county's schools who have nobbed their hair. I cannot see that It affects their teaching." I A. D. JOHNS, Agt.

Canan, whose maiden name was Elsey, was born December 10, 1817, on a site which is now a part of the city of Indianapolis. Her parents came to Indiana from Virginia a few months before her birth. The family jwas on the way to -Martin county, but an uncle died while in central Indiana and the family stopped at what is now Indiana polis to bury him. Finding the location desirable, the Elseys settled in Marion county and remained there several years before moving to Martin county. "Right Living" Her Rule "Right living" was Mrs.

Canan's rule for lonevity. "I always lived right," she would say when asked how she lived so long. "I always made my own clothes, doing the spinning myself. Until after the civil war our home had no floor except the hard earth, and you might say we lived outdoors all the time. It was a hard life, but I believe it was the right life." Strong coffee and tobacco were Mrs.

Canan's constant solace. She drank one or two cups of coffee at every meal and smoked a clay pipe almost constantly during her waking houre. Until recently she used 50 cents' worth of tobacco each week. Mrs. Canan was descended from a family of centenarians.

Her father, Edward Elsey, lived to be 102, and her mother died at the age of 103. Edward Elsey, a brother, age ninety- in Washington, Miami, DeKalb, Allen R.

Members of the old order Amish Mennonlte church of the state of Indiana must comply with the state school attendance law, which requires all children between the ages of seven and sixteen to attend public school, it was decided Tuesday by the state board of education in session at the Statehouse. Dislike "Higher Criticism" Approximately 1,200 members of the church and 200 others were signers of a petition presented to the state board of education, in which it was requested that children of the members of this religious sect te permitted to go to work on completion of the eighth grade. Asserting that "higher criticism, with its theory of evolution and denial of miracles is promulgated in the regular high schools" of the state, the petitioners asked permission to keep their children in the common schools, if they were compelled to send them to school until sixteen years of age.

Dr. Grose Writes Answer The petition of the sect was read to the board by L. C. Ward, superintendent of the public schools of Fort Wayne. An answer to the petition, carrying the refusal of the board to exempt the Amish Mennonites from obedience to the law, was prepared by Dr.

George R. Grose, president of DePauw University. It was adopted by the board. "There is no desire on the part of the state board of education to make requirements of any citizen or body oi citizens in the state that would of necessity violate the religious convictions or interfere with religious freedom," said Grose's statement. "The state board of education is of the opinion from the statement of faith of the Brotherhood of the Old Order Amish Mennonite Church of the State of Indiana, made in their petition, that the state law requiring high school attendance is in no sense in violation of the religious doctrines as set forth by the petitioners.
