Des Moines, March 90 Representa- t
tive cowles, author Of the high school
bill, has received a letter from u II.
Lewis, state superintsndent Of public
instruction N Minnesota Warmly APP
proving tho high school law in force in +
that state. which is similar 10 the bill /
by Mr.. cowles. which has passed The |
house aud is now pending il the senate. 7
Mr.. LeNs shows that under tbe Mimi
sot:. system the advantage Of high 7
schools are brought Within the reach Of /
pupils OF the rural districts without I
charge fo:- tuition, thus reducing the /
number of high schools necessary - be |
provided. Ia Minnesota five schools in
each county may receive state aid, Which !
is $500 year MI. Cowles bill allows
only three sehoa.s To a county 70 reeeive !
$500 per year. Ms. LAWS says Inder |
this System the high scnoois ara aided

doing awae with tne c.ta3s.c condition
that prevail Without sucf. regulation
where one school ggan,s diplomas and
graduates pupils With one years
course. another with a two Years course
and another with a three years course.
a uniformly higher standard Of qlalifi-a
cations for principals and Instructors is
thereby secured
IN Minnesota about 100 high schools
receive state aid under this law IN
Iowa, under the Cowies bill. the expense
would be- limited to $4,000 year. in
stead OF sSo,0a0 as N Minne sofa. The
object OF this s,ill is more to round ont
the system IN the state and secure a.
Uniform high school course complying
with recagnizes. star,.ard, than it is
10 support and give inancsel aid NTH a
view OF. starting more high schools. 1t
lis not expected that any more high
schools will be established on account OF
! ii. bur those already Established will be
improved.
( The fact that some educational men
iare fighting this BIZ explains fow ii is
/ that so many educational Bills fail to
4 pass. a large majority of the es,uca-
A fienal people Will agree that certain
thing should be done ant, sentiment iJ
favor of il Will become general and
/ then along w.ll come some two or three
kickers Who think something lse Should
/ be dore first and who VII oppose the
Whole thing ard undo all that has bean
done, because they think they have
something which is a li,ile more impor-
ltant Thus they fall out with eaeii 9th
er and succeed in be9ting each other
The friends " this bill! hope tha, such
a fate does not await 1t. They have
/ fa;thhiliy supported other educational
measures which some of than did not
think q, important as other things. but
# as long as Ia movement had been started
j they fell in line and. accepted the juds-
4 merit OF the majority. They nov ask
the same consideration for the Gewles
high school bill.
