The War Department Issues an Or.
der IncreasinE the Work Done
in Military Schools,

An important order affecting the
military departments tof about hum
dred schools and colleges in the United
States and of three educational insti-
buttons in Iowa has been made by the
war department. The substance of
this order is that hereafter higher
standard will be required of the mill
tary departments of those schools to
which regular army officers are de-
tailed by the general government.
The new order has just been issued,
and it is not yet certain whether it
will have the effect to cut off the mill
tary department of any of the state
institutions of this state. The schools
in Iowa to which regular army officers
are detailed to give instruction are
the state normal at Cedar Falls, the
Stateuniversity of Iowa City and Simp-
son college at Indianola. While the
Agricultural college at Ames has mil
itary department, it is not provided for

SCHOOL LAWS.
Sending to superintendent a New
Edition of tbs Acts.

The state department of education
has received from the press and is now
forwarding to county superintendent
for distribution to school officers and
directors new edition of the school
law. The last edition was made i'm
mediately following the revision of the
code in 1897.
The law authorizes the superintend-
emit of public instruction to causeto be
printed every four years all the school
laws in force up to that time, with such
notes, forms, rulings and decisions as
may be of value to school officers. This
has been done in the new edition, and
at the same time references have been
given to previous laws amended SO
as to indicate the effect of the amend
ment. Unless public attention is oc-
casionally called to the matter the
changes made in our school laws are
very likely to be overlooked, some
times by even the friends of educa-
ton themselves.
The new edition shows that laws en-
tirely new have been enacted enabling
school corporations to accept gifts
and requests; limiting school corpo-
rations as to the indebtedness that
may be incurred to one-fourth per
centum on the actual value of the prop
erty within the corporation; requir-
ing the teaching of vocal music in
all public schools and normal insti-
tutes; providing for the establishing
Of libraries in all school townships and
rural independent districts for the uae
of teachers, pupils and residents; pro-
viding for the inspection, recognition
and supervision of schools for the in
struction and training of teachers for
the common schools, and providing for
the licensing of the graduates of the
same; requiring the attendance upon
some public, private or parochial
school of all children of the ages of
seven and ID years, inclusive, for IL
consecutive weeks each year. In addi-
ton to the foregoing there are score
or more of modifica tions, all impor-
tant, that have been made by the gen.
eral assemblies. These have been in
corporated and will demand the closest
scrutiny of boards of directors.

ANT1-sALooN LEAGUE.
Will Hold Meeting in Des Molnes
September 16 and II to Transact
Important Business.
Especial Correspondence.1

President L. S. Coffin, of Fort Dodge,
and Secretary Mott Sawyers, of the
Iowa Anti-Saloon league, have issued
a call for meeting of the league in
Des Moines September 16 and II. At
the meeting last year controversy
arose as to the election of state
superintendent. H. H. Abrams, of
Iowa City, has been holding the place,
and sought reelection. The convention
elected II. c. Marshall, of Sioux City.
1t is possible that Abrams will seek
reinstatement in view of his work in
the recent legislature, in which he Sc
cured the adoption of law establish
ing ward for the care of dipsoma-
MACS at the state hospitals for the
insane and headed off lot of anti
temperance legislation.

IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Supreme Court Will BE Asked to De-
eide Whether n Railroad Can
Pass Through Public Park.
Especial Correspondence

The promoters of the Des Moines &
Iowa Northern railroad, projected
from Minneapolis to Des Moines, pro-
pose to take to the supreme court
and have settled for the entire state
the question of whether or not rail-
road can pass through public park.
The law is not clear on the question.
The park commission of Des Mpines
declined to permit the road named to
go through one of the city parks, and
the company proposes to begin pro-
ceedings to condemn a right of way
through the park, if the law will per-
nit, and as it is not clear, decision of
the supreme court will be secured.

OLD NORTHWESTERN LINE.
Boone County Oflcials Want a Por.
portant to Several Townships
Especial Correspondence

Boone county officials have asked the
state executive council to assess the
old line of the Northwestern railroad,
which runs south from the town Of
Boone, around Moingona and past the
home of Kate Shelley. This line was
formerly the main track of the road,
but when it built its million-dollar
bridge across the Des Moines river
west of Boone it planned to abandon
the old line. This, the officials of
Boone county say, has not been done,
and they insist on an assessment of
the old track. 1t is matter of de-
cided Importance to several townships
through which the old track extends.

Valuable Collection.

Prof. c. c. Nutting has received in

material from the Hawaiian seas. The

and chronological specimens l.. collect

Laysan has no duplicate in America.
The Smithsonian museum at Washing

university will receive similar collec-
tons later-as they were represented
in the expedition-but NO other mu-
seums in the United States will have
their equal. Prof. Knitting says the
series is of inestimable value fro1u q
