facts. We did not authorize the Rf.
ticle and have not contralicted it be-
fore because Of its bearing no sigiIa-
tore. We did not think teachers
would take any notice Of it, but nearly
every day we receive letters asking
about ii SO we think it lest to make
this statements:
For first grade certificate an aver.
age of 90 per cent with no grade below
So per cent is required; for "a second
grade and average of 80 per cent with
no grade below 80 per cent, and for i
third grade an average of 50 per cent
with no grade below 20 per cent. Be
sides these grades we reserve the right
to take into consideration the ability
to do good work in the school room.
We heartily agree with Mr.. Sabin's
ideas set forth in the following letter
to County superintendent:
LAT the meeting of the county su
perintendenls III December, there was
IL general agreement that very high
qualifications should be required of

the new code will no doubt require an
examination in several additional
branches AS you are aware, a first
class certificate must be for two years.
Such creden!ial should now be grant.
Ell only to teachers of acknowledged
ability and of uuquestioned successful
experience. Excellent and thorough
scholarship is of course an essential,
but the power to lead. direct and in.
spire a school, to unite the people of
the community, to attract and bring
within the salutary influence of the
school all the youth Of the district, and
thus to lay enduring foundations for
the work Of coming years, these and
other like qualifications mark the
teacher of highest value.
Upon you as county superintendent
is placed the momentous obligation
Of deciding the qualifications of a
large part of those who are to direct
in great measure, the educational
work done in the schools. Your posi-
tion as educational leader Of the work
in your county makes il incumbent
upon YOU to determine these matters
in the light OF the highest good of the
children. Our only suggestion is that
YOU give the children the benefit of
any doubt that may arise in your
mind, with regard to the ability and
worthiness Of each applicant for GER
tificate.

Sugar Beet Culture.

A great deal OF interest is being mani.
tested in various parts Of Iowa in the
subject of raising sugar beets. Farmers
in various parts of the state are talking
of making arrangements to take up the
idea in a practical way.
A beet sugar factory at Des Moines
is one of the possibilities of the near
future. Mr.. J. S. Emery, Of the large
dry goods firm of Harris, Emery x Co..
is at the head of the movement. The
necessary capital, some $3O0,OOOO0, has
been raised and all that is now needed

Mr. Emery makes the following propo-

Mrs. V. F. Rosa.

The report of the death of Mrs V. F.
Rose, at 10 o'clock last Monday morning
came as a shock and surprise to the
friends and acquaintance of herself and
her family. Up to a short time ago few
knew of her sickness, and even then did
not suspect it's seriousness.
The cause of death was cancer. An
operation for it's removal was performed
couple of weeks ago, but the disease
had made its way too far.
Mary Jane Harris was born February
4, 1S4S in Noble county, Ohio, and NOV,
ed to Iowa in September, 1865. She
was married to V. F. Rose, October Is
1867, coming to Audubon county in
1879, since which time the family has
resided here.
Mrs. Rose was the mother of eleven
children, eight of whom are living.
Mrs. Rose was known to her friends
as good woman, in all that the word
implies. A kind and loving wife and
mother, good neighbor and a good
friend to all who knew her.
To the bereaved husband and child
rem the sympathy of many friends, who,
in part at least, know their loss, now
goes out.
The funeral was held Wednesday
afternoon at the Presbyterian church,
the public service having been preceded
by brief service at the house and the
internment took place in Maple Grove
cemetery.

The bank failure at Griswold is now
reported to be right Of piece with that
of the Cass county bank; and Brown, the
president, is now in Mexico where the
ordinary process of law cannot reach
him. About the time the receiver took
charge of the bank Brown had business
away and remains absent. This is not
what was given out at the time the bank
closed, when it was boastfully stated
that it would pay depositors in full.
Possibly it may, but the stock holders
are liable to suffer.-Anita Republican.
