ARBoR DAY.
State Superintendent Barrett Issues
Circular Concerning Its Great
Value and Influence.

For more than a decade Arbor deg
has been celebrated in Iowa schools.
Each year it's value and influence have
become more evident. Says Superin-
tendent Barrett in a circular Just is
sued:
AS school premises have been beautified,
interest and enthusiasm have increased.
While it has been deemed best to modify
the official bulletin this year relating to
the observance of the day, it is hoped
that the awakened interest in tree plant
ing will continue to grow until all school
grounds are beautified, shaded and orna-
mented. Since 1887 1896 trees have been
planted on Iowa school sites by and
through your work and influence. 1t is Of
far more Importance as a factor in ed
ucation that school yards be improved by
the planting of trees than that buildings
be lavishly ornamented. In all may you
seek to make each pupil feel a sympa-
thetic interest in that which surrounds
him and his daily life. He will soon take
pleasure in studying those things he loves.
Teach pupils to have pride in the good
name and the beauty of their school. AS
result of your labor may each pupil not
only be inspired to go forth under the open
sky and list to natures teachings but
with strong and noble purpose be deter
mined to aid in identifying and lettering
the world"

mitted an opinion to Secretary j. Il.
Kennedy, of the state board of health,
holding that local boards Of health may
forcibly cleanse man who refuses to
wash himself. case arose in Iowa in
which miser refused to clean himself
or his house. Tt became vile den, and,
though the man was wealthy, he re-
fused to clean up. 1t developed into
scurvy. The local authorities tried to
abate it and were said to have no power.
1t was sent to the state board, and that
board referred it to the attorney-gen-
eral. He holds that the local board can
clean up the old miser, put him in clean
clothing and board up or burn his house,
as suits the needs of the community.
He says that no man has a right to use
his home so that it Injuries others. and
no false ideas or sentimentalities about
personal rights of u man to do as he
pleases with his own should hinder the
authorities from adopting heroic meas
ures to protect the health of the com.

AT the fourth annual convention in

league officers were elected as follows:
Hon. L. S. Coffin, Fort Dodge, reelected
president; E. f. Brockway. Iowa City, first
vice president; James Callahan, Des
Moines. second vice president; u A. Cole,
Council Bluffs, fourth vice president; Capt.
V. p. Twombly. Des Moines, treasurer,
Rev. G. T. Williams, Des Moines, seore-
tary.
Among the resolutions adopted were
the following:
Resolved. That the State Anti-Saloon
league should take the high ground that
the saloon and the liquor traffic is a nui-
sance and an immortality, and is and must
be of necessity under the ban of the law,
and that all legislation for the regulation
or the protection of the saloon or the liquor
traffic is unconstitutional and void, because
no immortality can be protected by law nor
the morals of the people be legislated away;
and it may be the work of the league to
have this matter settled once and forever
by bringing test case before the supreme
court Of the state.
Resolved. That 1t is the duty of the next
legislature to prohibit the sale of all liquors
within three miles of all educational insti-
tutions supported by the state

NEW TWINE FACTORY.
The State BOARD of Control Deter.
mines to Establish One in the
Penitentiary at Anamosa.

The Iowa board of control of state in
stitutions has determined to establish
a factory for making binding Irvine in
one of the penitentiaries. About 100
convicts are in the Anamosa and Fort
Madison institutions. At Anamosa it
has been almost impossible to find en-
ployment for them, hence the board de-
cided to try the Irvine factory.
Investigations are in progress as to
expense OF equipping a plant. 1t was
first designed to put in general machine
shops. The Irvine factory can be estab-
lished cheaper and, the board claims,
will produce large part of the Irvine
used in Iowa and reduce the price from
rs to 80 per cent, comparing with the
average trust prices of the last two
years.
