THE NORMAL. SCHOOL QUESTION.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL QUESTION.
IAlgona Upper Des Mones.
kossuth county paid s65,5Sl Is to
school teachers last year. and a shraWd
educator estimates that $4,000 OF that
amount was wasted thru the inetii-
cisncy of the people employed. Kos
suth is only one of 100 counties and the
average cost for teachers II the coun-
~ for the state Is as high or h.sher
II each county IS wasting $4,000 a year
1t becomes evident that ii the normal
school system viii u any apprecable
extent remedy the conditions the mat
ter of expense need not be seriously
considered. kosstlth's sa55ono alone
would run the three new schools that
are proposed. While the $500 900 wasted
bythe state is six times more than all
the state pays for higher education in
all forms.
Their are several arguments in favor
Of the normal school system:
1. The common experience is that in
ali ppfvss..c:.s ..i..,s,s,i; .2a..:::s.::.,.
training tends 10 efficiency aud econ
only The churches demand CONSTANT
III better preparation before they Will
erdain their ministers, and the state
has steadily raised the standard OF re-
quirenients for admission 10 profess
sions.
9. The local experience Of city school
boards confirms this common expert
cnce. The Algona school beard a few
years ago resolved that no teachers be
hired for the city schools who had not
had some training school experience.
and several of the local teachers went
TO Chicago to perfect themselves in
methods. 1t has been the experience
here, that the difference between teach
ers With training school methods and
those without is very marked and there
can be no question that the efficiency
Of our local schools has bsen greatly in
creased by insisting upon some normal
school training, even If only a few
weeks or months.
3 The graduates of the norma,
school as Cedar Fails command the
highest places in the graded schools,
/ which of itself is conclusive OF the esti-
mate put upon training schools by
school boards. Cedar Falls does not
begin to supply the demand for teach
ers in the higher graded work alone.
4. The states which have tried the
normal school system have invariably
lexpanded it.
;. The educators of Iowa have for
some years unanimously demanded bet
ter normal school facilities for Iowa.
and this demand has been seconded by
/ President Seerey. of the Cedar Falls
school; President MacLean. OF the state
university. and President Beardshear,
OF the agricultural college. neither of
whom could have any selfish interest
| in the movement.
Against these arguments nothing has
been urged excepting the Impractical

Here's q Missouri idol smasher who has
the courage of his convictions in the
matter of speaking his mind,' at any
rate. a Grundy county man, who IS
making a tour of Europe, did Rome
one afternoon few weeks ago, with the
following disastrous result. as described
in his latest letter home:
st. Peters disappointed me. 1t is
large enough, but too light and bare. The
inside is of gray marble, and there is no
stained glass. So it looks like an I'M
fitted art gallery. The famous bronze
statue of st. Peter, sitting In chair,
from which the toe has been kissed,
would not catch your eye If it were not
for the guide book. The great Vatican
palace is about as pretty as the brick
row. It is very old, very irregular, and
pictures by Raphael and Michael Angelo
The Sistine chapel, in which M. Angeles
greatest paintings cover the walls and
ceilings, is large, plain room. The
pictures are all In dark, purplish gray
color, hard to make out, and absurd
when you do make them out. They re-
mind me Of rather plain and faded circus
bills with actors performing on trapeze.
Raphael's greatest pictures are rich IN
colorS, but are not more interesting. He
and Angelo never saw a naked woman or
child, l guess, nor were ever even at At
lantic City. They give. children the
muscles Of a Roman gladiator OF Ear,
Rome were also a great disappointment
as q rule. With the exception of the
wonderful Coliseum, and a few more
things, all the rest are nothing but stone
piles, SO far as they appear to the com
mon spectator.

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE Coblentz affair
is becoming an issue liable to lead to
further anti-Semitic feeling in army cir
cles. few days ago M. Lebaudy, the
well known turfman, issued the usual an
nual invitation to the officials of the mill
itary schools at Fontainebleau to take
part in a hunt Capt. Coblentz, among
other officers, accepted the invitation, but
when he appeared the Lebaudys aban-
doned the hunt on account Of the Incl
dent at the Auteuil races Nov. and it's
outcome
As a result of this treatment on the
day of the Lebaudy's hunt, Capt Co
blentz sent seconds to M. Roger Luzarche,
and duel with swords was fought this
afternoon. In the second assault Capt.
Coblentz received a slight laceration Of
the forearm, and in the fourth assault
he was twice wounded in the same arm,
one of the sword thrusts penetrating the
cubital nerve, after which the witnesses
ended the contest.
The commanding officer of the Fontain-
bleau school has forbidden the officers at
that institution and the students there TO
participate hereafter In the Gebaudv

NO CHANGE FOR A WHILE
COURT HOUSE LIGHTING PLANT
SCHEME IS LAID OVER.

While a meeting of the joint city hail
and court house commission was held
Friday and the matter of a lighting ana
heating plant for the big building dis
cussed, Yet little will come of it for this
year at least.
The commissioners themselves are au-
thority for this statement and say that
the installation of plant just now would
be q piece Of foolishness that nothing
could justify. The gas company will be
given the contract and will continue to
do the work until the new Jail is COM
p1eted.
Commissioner Hardick, who is en-
thusiastic on the new Jail question, says
that while little mention of the fact was
made at the meeting of the commission
Friday, yet 1T is the intention to incor-
porate in the new Jail building a heat
ing and lighting plant sufficiently large
to supply both the Jail and the courT
house.
There is no room for a new plant just
now and the lighting and heating as here
tofore, will be let out on contract, for
the present at least.

ing adjourned for the purpose of attend
ing the ball given by the union in aid OF

always interested himself in everything
pertaining to the we'll being of organic
ed labor, suffered two years since with
an attack Of paralysis, since which time
the union, with characteristic thought
fuIness, has looked after his welfare as
well as they could consistent with the
many other charges which are always to
be found in q union. Last night thew
gave q ball for his benefit AMI through
the able management of the committee in

He SHOT HIS WIFE DEAD
IIAISON OF a FRENCH
COUNTESS
IN HER LOVERS APARTMENTS
All Parties Concerned Prominent in
the Highest Circles of Paris
ian UItra-FashfOnabIe
Society.

PARIS, Nov. I7.-Count de Cornulier
this afternoon surprised his wife, the
Countess de Cornulier, visiting the apart
ments of gentleman on the Rue de
Provocative. The count met the countess
on the stairway and fired three shots
at her. She died on her way to the hos
pital. The count was arrested. The FAM
lily is n prominent one The countess
brother is an army colonel and the count
is well known in the highest Partisan
society. He is forty-three years of age.
His wife was >thirty-one years old. She
vas formerly Mile. Bumnele Genevieve
BineaI de Vienay. A suit for separation
was PENDING between the count and the
countess.
The shooting of the Countess de Cor
muller created CONSERVATION in social
circles where both the count and countess
were prominently known. The countess
was q woman of unusual beauty, and
she was often seen at the theaters, and
other resorts freQuented by the elite of
Paris. Her family is highly respected.
She was married to Count Charles de
Cornulier fourteen years ago and three
children are the result of the union, the
eldest Of whom is thirteen years of age.
The marriage proved unhappy, and
acting upon the advice Of her father,
the countess separated from her husband
four years ago and has since lived at
Auleu4. Recently a decree was fenuGreds
giving her possession of the children.
FORMER ADMIRER.
The count then began his espionage and
discovered that the countess frequently
visited M. Leroux, one Of her former
admirers. Count CornuIier claimed that
1iaison was maintained by the couple.
but the best information is that M Ler-
oux acted as the legal adviser Of the
countess. It IS stated that her father
chose him to manage her affairs.
Yesterday the count watched NJ. Ler-
oux's house, but the countess did not
pay visit to her adviser. Today, find
ing her landau before M Leroux's door,
the count secreted himself on the stair
way, and when the countess descended,
fired three times, each shot taking eff
feet. His wife did not regain conscious
ness after the shooting.
The count was exceedingly calm upon
surrendering himself. He said I did
it. [ am her husband"
He was the first to give aid to his
wife after she fell and asked that a
priest be sent for. He asserted that he
did not intend to kill her then, but wanted
to create scandal.
