"How. could you see if the Westwood home was walled in?" asked Pruger. "I saw the silhouette standing by the gate," Johnson replied, Mrs, Westwood, mother of three children, was slain early the morning of July 10.

Mr. Uhler's position 'as head of the Educational Department of Indiana Teachers College ably fitted him for his topic of "State and local school finances" and he explained that Indiana was far better than any other Place In the state regarding taxes and school system. It was interesting to learn that with the aid of the state and local Teachers' College, Indiana had the best corps of instructors to be found in Pennsylvania school districts at no additional cost to tax payers.

He further pointed out the many beneficial results of the co-operative teaching system in use here and the value of the Training School, proving that this resulted in a saving of mills to tax payers. Mr. Uhler then went into interesting details about conditions as a whole throughout the state and asserted that for numerous reasons the present system of small school districts was generally more expensive than a mon. centralized plan of administration and tax collection. However he made i clear in his plea for increased ad' vantages for rural districts that his suggested revisions and adjustments were not to be interpreted as a single unified system abolishing all local King Edward VIII Here, in his favor' He portrait, Great Britain's new monarch, Edward VIII, on whom the burden of sovereignty over one- fourth of the world's fell with the death of father, King V.
