Iowa Association Is Pushing Its Cam

Over the state.

The Equal Suffrage association Of
the state is pushing its campaign
through its clubs and organizations all
over the state since the delegates re-
turned from the national convention
at Minneapolis. The headquarters in
Des Moines are again open, and Mrs. N.
Nelson is looking after the work. Re-
ports that have been received thus far
regarding the members of the legis-

couraging, she states. Not a great
many of the members of the next leg
islature have yet been nominated, but
of those who have been the greater
humber are thought to favor the suf-

the counties where the conventions
have not been held, and are using all
their influence to have men nomina ted

NORMAL ms TITUTES.
cular of Suggestions to Conduc-
tors and Instructors.

superintendent Barrett has issued
circular of notes and suggestions to
conductors and instructors in normal
institutes, in part as follows:
The Importance of the Normal institute
as part of our school system cannot
easily be overestimated. To many teach-
ers 1t is the only school in which they get
any training In the best means of discipline
and the most approved methods of instruc-
ton. To many others 1t is the only place
to which they can so annually for new
draughts of inspiration and enthusiasm to
refresh them for another years work To
all teachers 1t should provide the means of
getting increased information. securing
better training, and developing higher
ideals of professional life.
Inc results of the institute depend very
largely upon the high character and teach
Ing ability of the instructors. AS the
teacher is so is the school; and as the In
structors are so is the institute. If they
are punctual in attendance, prompt in
management, and particular in work, the
teachers will follow their example. II
they are concise in statement, careful in
expression, and clear in instruction, the
teachers will initiate their style. If they
are exact in results, energetic In action,
and enthusiastic in spirit the teachers will
be SO to greater or less degree.
To make the institute a success the In
structors must not forget that 1t was cre-
ated for the purpose of training teach
ers in better means Of discipline and more
successful methods of instruction. 1t
should, therefore, be model school in both
these respects. SO that teachers may learn
by example as we'll as precept. Though
1t is not the primary object of the institute
to give academic instruction, yet in most
counties it is generally found necessary to
do so for the benefit of those who have not
had the requisite preparation. In giving
such instruction the opportunity should be
used for illustrating the best methods Of
presenting and teaching the subject.

CONTROL OF MARRIAGE.
Question of Prevention of Unfit Al
Iinnccs Given Consideration
by Iowa officials.

At the quarterly conference of the
board of control and the superintend-
ents of state institutions in Des Moines
the question of prevention of the mar
riage of the unfit was given extended
consideration. Dr.. T. NJ. Powell, SUI
perintendent of the. state hospital for
the insane at .Cdarinda, read paper on
"Unsanitary Marriages" and there was
much discussion. 1t was the general
sense of the superintendent and mem
bers of the board that the question
should be taken. up by the legislature
and steps taken for state control of the
marriage OF. the. unfit. 1t was clearly
pointed out, however, by DR.. Powell
in his paper and by others that the
legislature ought not to act without
naming a commission of experts to
examine the subject carefully.

HONEST coNv1cTs.
tinry Relates an Incident
Worthy of Merit.

Warden Hunter, of Anamosa, writes
as follows to the state board of con-
troll:
An incident occurred in this institution
that think worthy of report Gustav Ha-
mann, an inmate who is used as team
ster, driving between the prison and the
state farm. on his way to the farm the
other afternoon picked up pocketbook
belonging to a lady. On his arrival at the
farm he looked up the officer in charge and
handed the pocketbook to him, stating
where he had found it. He was alone. On
examination the pocketbook contained
money and certificate of deposit to the
amount of $a59.57. which has been re-
turned to the owner. This is the second
incident of the kind occurring in the in
stitution. Some time ago an officer lost his
pocketbook in the bathroom containing
$25 1t was found by a convict and re-
turned to him."
Hamann is 20 years of age and was
sentenced last year from Lyon County
for seduction.

1t was December when once again
Maid Marion was lifted to her loung-
ing-chair overlooking the Bagum-
bayan, and little by little began pick

were so nearly severed for all time.
and, as health and strength slowly re-
turned. hearing the tidings of the
busy. bustling world about her.
Others, too, had known anxiety as
sore as that which had SO lined the
face of Col. Ray and trebled the sill
YER in the soft hair of Marion, his wife.
Well-nigh distracted, a mother sped
across the continent to the Pacific,
there to await the coming of her sons
remains.
From the night of Walter Fosters
disappearance at Chrquinez no word
of his existence came to give her hope,
no trace of his movements until, late
in August, there was brought to her
the cabled message:
"Alive, well. but in trouble. Have
written"
And this was headed Yokohama.
Not until October did that longed-
for, prayed-for letter come-a selfish
letter, since it gave no really adequate
excuse for the long weeks of silence,
and only told that the boy had been
in hiding, almost in terror of his life.
While still dazed by the shock of the
fire and smarting from his burns
wrote Walter. he had wandered from
the cars at Port Costa. He had en-
countered "mpst uncongenial per-
sons" he said, among the recruits,
and never realizing that it was deser-
ton, war-time-desertion at that, had
determined to get back to Sacramento

him by water to Sacramento, found
