LETTER FROM IOWA.

We love to speak gool words of
our adopted State, we care not
where our lot be cast. 1t does us good
to speak Of the many virtues and good
qualities possessed by our young
Hawkeye State. For proof that her
praise is not confined to her own child
rem, we have but to read the papers
of any other State, to find Iowa laud'
ed to the skies. When war with its
dark, lurid clouds cast the gloom Of
war athwart the National sky, no name
shown brighter than that of Iowa.
Her sons were among the first to
spring to arms, took part in every bat
tie in the West, and many in the East
from Wilson's creek to the fall of the
last Southern stronghold. But she
is not great alone in war. Peace had
hardly blessed the land ere her hardy
sons were again at their old trades or
vocations, and giving mighty impe-
tus to the rapidly growing State. Her
millions Of broad acres of land are the
most fertile, her citizens the most in.
telligent and industrious; and now, she
has set most glorious example to her
older citizens by striking out the
",chite" from the constitution and
making manhood the qualification for
the elective franchise. We are proud
to be called an lowaian; and love to
sound her praise. in>1S36, that which
is now called the State of Iowa con-
tanned 10000 inhabitants. In 1888
it was detached from the territory of
Wisconsin, and in 1916 it was admit

$4,000. In 1856 the population had
increased to 100000; in 1867 to 902,-

Union SCHOOLS.

In the last twenty years, Union
Schools, or as they are sometimes call
ed, graded schools, have grown quite
common. Every town of respectable
size has alarge building with three or
four or more rooms, the whole under
charge of a principal. We have never
seen any reports of the workings Of
these schools. Generally, we suppose
they answer the purpose in tended, the
saving ofmoney, that being one great
object with all School Directors. But
it seems to us the plan is bad one,
for the following reasons:
First. The rooms are not 50 healthy
as the common one room school houses.
Ventilation is generally secured only
on two sides Of the room, when it
should be on every side. When the
building is heated by steam, the effect
upon the health Of the children is very
bad. If this position be tlru is
certainly much against Union School
houses.
Second. 1t places children Of all
sizes too much together. We know,
that to avoid this is one of the objects
of the Union School, but it is practi-
cally failure. They are not together
during the hours of recitation, but
they are during the play hours, which
is almost as bad. Further, the young
er children should have more time al
lotted them for play than the older
ones. But this cannot be done, at
least without great trouble. The
children of one room will not be very
attentive to their studies while they
hear the children Of pno.her room
playing outside. So, the little child
of six is made to play with the young
ster of sixteen, and is allotted only the
same time to play, which is simply
barbarous, and injurious to both.
Third. 1t takes too much response
bility away from the under teachers,
and places it upon the principal. All
matters of serious disputes are referred
to the principal. All who have hal
experience in teaching know this to be
bad. The teacher should be supreme
in his or her room. Any other rule
will work out bad results.
Other reasons can be given, but we
stop with these. How can these things
be avoided? Manilcstly not by the
Common District School system.
Schools must be graded in the towns
and villages. But let there be a bull
ding for each grade, and the objections
we have named will disappear. The
expense would not be much greater,
and would be more than balanced by
the good results. J.

The Rink furnishes pastime, after
moons and evenings, for those fond Of
the skatorial. 1t is large enclosed
building covering an area of about
one half acre. Inside is the space
allotted to skaters, with a margin of
ten feet on three sides for spectators
and about twenty feet on the other for
a gallery, restaurants, office, etc. Du
ring the cold season they have ice by
flooding the inner compartment with
water, during Spring and Fall they
have a smooth floor Of plank for roll
er skating. There is every difference
between a pair of steel runners and a
four wheeled skate, as found on trial.
However proficient one may be with
the former he will find in the first at
tempt on the latter constant liability
to perform acrobatic feats, such as
standing on his head, running on all
fours. 1t takes deal of coaxing to
overcome the aversion one foot has for
the other and the tendency they have
to keep as far apart as possible. But
if you do pound the floor occasionally,
what oft? There is a lady who
