Features to Weekly Edition.
The Courier announces to its thous-
ands of readers today, that, beginning
next Thursday, and weekly thereafter,
the Courier will publish and distribute
with the Thursday edition of the
semi weekly paper, a four page
extra edition with special fea-
lures, for which the exclusive right
has been purchased in this part of
Iowa. This will make the Weekly
Courier a paper of twenty pages,
and will give to Courier readers besides
the unapproachable loca. and tele-
graphic news service they are now re-
ceiving, four pages OF illustrated syn
dictate matter and stories of the same
high character, and the same class of
matter as is found in the Sunday Chi
cago and New York papers. There will
be one page of illustrated humor, con-
tanning the best caricatures from the
leading funny papers, and special
page of up-to-date general news, with
generous Illustrations. There will al

story, SIN His Steps, ,or "Nhat Would
Jesus Dog" by Charles NJ. Sheldon.
Seven columns OF this story will be run

His Steps" is the most popular story

Harum." Besides this story, there
will be several short stories complete
in each issue.
The Courier takes extreme satisfac-
ton in making this announcement to
its subscribers. While this weekly
| feature will be an expensive addition,

large audience, composed mostly
of out of town teachers who are at
tending the normal institute here,
greeted State Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction r. G. Barrett, at the
high school building last evening. His
lecture was very interesting and in
structive and showed his deep study of
the subject over which he has super
vision. He spoke on the topic, "'rhe
State and the Teachers" and treated
the connection of these two in every
phase.
AT the opening of his discourse,
Mr.. Barrett said he was anxious not
to be misunderstood. He does not
want people to think him pessimist
because he points out the weak places
in our state school system, but, he de-
clared, that he is rather an optimist,
and is continually hoping for the de-
sired improvements to be made.
Near THE end of the discourse. Supt.
Barrett said: Teaching is more than
keeping records. more than preserving
order. 1t is the keeping of those pu-
pills entrusted by the state and by the
creator. to the teacher. The teacher
stands in the double capacity of state
and parent. His responsibility is great
and should be fully appreciated before
he begins to teach"
Mr.. Barrett is forcible speaker and
held the undivided attention of every
one in the audience last evening. 1t IS
plain that he has devoted much time
to studying the subject, and has the
interest of the people, the schools, and
the state at heart in advocating the
change of which he spoke.
The following pupils were enrolled
at the Normal Institute today:

ers who had nothing to do with the trans
actions in which they originated. This
difference was recognized by Secretary
Gage In his address to the Virginia bank
ers last February. "A banker" he said.
''can give to the proposed borrower credit
upon his books against which the borrower
mi ght check. but, unfortunately the borrower
must make use OF his credit at outside points.
whpre his credit is not known and rhere his
checks upon the banker Uould not be receired."
There was one form OF credit which the
banker. except for the law, could have extended
to him, namely. the bankers o,cn notes in de-
nominations OF cOHUpHient size rhich TOud be
acceptable in exchange TO dealers and ldborers
at points quite remote" Mr.. Gage here
