The first superintendent was Gen. Fred
Knefler, the second Col. George W. Par
ker. the third C-cpt. J. C. Miller and the
fourth Capt. John Schley, who is con
fined at one of the locat hospitals.
Although 82, Col. Perry Is about as
active as a man of 50. He is optimistic
and his..knowledge of history, especially
that part concerning the wars this coun
try has been In. Is marvelous. Ho Is a
walking reference book on history.
Col. Perry has transformed tho large
basement of the movement Into a war
gallery, where are hung many pictures
of war heroes from Indiana of all tho
wars that this country has been engaged.
Splendid pictures of the war presi
dents, as well as the war governors of
this state are to be found In the gallery.
Col. Perry Is now Installing large
frames or racks on which will be placed
thousands of views taken during the

Colonel Perry Is now arranging a little
nook In the gallery which will be de
voted to the pictures of the seventy-five
and more Indiana soldiers who were cited
for bravery during the world war.
When Gen. Wood was recently In In
