70 TEST IOWA cLAYs.

1t is stated that the brickmakers OF
Iowa are solicitous for an appropriation
from the legislature for plant at Ames
for testing brick and clay products and
making experiments as to their value
and for the development of ceramic art
claiming that great deal might be done
with Iowa clay IL there was some one &c
test the value of it. 1t is claimed to be
desirable because biologists have
pointed out the fact that the clay depos-
Its are extensive and varied.
II the same thing could be accom-
plished without drawing upon the state
treasury II would be more satisfactory
to the taxpayers. Some of the people
are now waking up to the fact that Iowa
sclays offer good field for Iowa manu-
facturers and are taking advantage OF
the fact. Marshalltown has decided to
establish extensive pottery works and
will soon be able to prove the value OF
some OF these clays. With a little addi-
tional effort it could arrange to test all
clays sent to 1t from various Iowa local
tiles and might be induced to do so II
sufficiently urged. Men Of practical, and
perhaps scientific, knowledge of clay
will be connected with the works. and
with less expense than would be required
s TO maintain separate plant and an ex-
pert demonstrator would be enabled to
give any one in the state dsiring it .
plain demonstration OF the value. Of all
clays
This being the case 1t would hardly
be necessary for the state to under
take the task. The plant at Mar
shalltown, when established, will not
be confined to one branch of manu-
facture. 1t will utilize several patents
for the manufacture Of fruit jars and
viii make other pottery products, and
will be in position to take up any
work of this kind, whether for decora-
tive or more practical use. The pot
terry company formed here owns ex-
tensive beds OF clay for the making of
brick also, and they will be utilized.
In addition to this plans have been
perfected for the establishment of ex-
tensive terra Gotta works in Mar
shalltown, the only thing lacking be-
ing man of practical knowledge to
manage the plant. The money for 1t,
the necessary clay banks, and other
important features being now provid-
ed. In fact Marshalltown hopes soon
to become a center for brick, tile.

RIVERS AND HARBoRs CAN WAIT.

1t is said that the friends of the river
and harber bill are scared. The friends
of irrigation threaten to tack an amend
ment to the river and harbor bill and 1t
IS feared that this will kill the bin as 1t
did last year. 1t will be remembered
that the river and harbor fellows at the
last session refused to yield to the west
ern members who wanted irrigation,
which SO angered Senator Carter, OF
Montana, that he talked the bill to
death during the closing hours OF the
session, thereby saving the government
sixty millions OF unnecessary expense.
This year the demands for money are
so great, the absolutely necessary ap-
preparation for rural free delivery, the
appropriation for new battleships to
Keep our navy up to date, the ten or for
ty millions that will be voted to begin
sn isthmian canal and the regular ap-
propriations for running expenses of the
government are so large that it is not
likely there will be anything left for irri-
cation, and il not for irrigation then not
for rivers and harbors say the western
members
Government expenditure for irrigation
works and the development of countless
acres OF land, the T.-R. believes, to be
far better investment than an enormous
river and harbor bill which always car
ries SO large load of unnecessary. ex-
pense. However. 1t is not well to try to
do everything in minute and il irriga-
ton appropriations even tho the plan
suggested provides for recovering all
the money spent on lit, are
merely discussed at this session
it will probably be better than
to rush thru half perfected plans.

The rural free delivery appropriations,

cred for session or two before the doors

auaA, SCHOOLS AND FARMING.

The progressive spirit of the west has
broken out anew in the suggestions OF
Minnesota's state superintendent OF
public instruction, who suggests that
elementary instruction in agriculture be
made branch of teaching in the rural
schools of his state. It is not this off,
ciaIs idea TO make the rural school a
mere farming school, but to incorporate
something akin to the manual training
courses now offered in the city schools
| The idea Of teaching somthing more
schools Of this land is one that has
gained Arm footing in the educator
mind. AS all reforms are apt to do. II
has led to extremes and resulted In fads
but the principles of the idea remain
good. 1t would be we'll for the children
OF our farms to be taught many funda-
mentals OF farming along with their
reading and writing. To be shown the
possibilities and the beauties of farm
ing. Such instruction would tend to
keep the young on the farms and stop
the drift Of population to the cities.
Similar instruction is given very gen.
orally in the state schools Of Europe, In
Sweden, Norway, Germany. Austria and
France, and as a direct result we find
by far the larger portion OF our immi-
grants from those countries settling on
the farms of the western states. Thou
sands upon thousands of prosperous
farms have been built from the raw
prairies and cities have grown up in the
west as the result of elementary educa-
ton in agriculture given these people in
the European schools.
In the city schools the same need ex-
lists. Manual training should displace
some of the fads of higher learning.
The public schoo! should be equipped to
educate the average citizen, to do the
mort good II can for the greatest num-
Der. and statistics have shown US that
the greatest number are either fright
ened away by the higher branches or for
some other cause leave school before
they reach the high school grades. With
limited amount Of manual training
these children might be interested
enough to remain year or so longer on
the, average, because of the practical
instruction they are receiving. and at
any rate they would have received a
valuable help in the course while they
were in school. The tendency to make
the high school and two or three
grades below preparatory school for a
college course is one in the wrong dlrec-
ton, since SO many other opportunities
are offered for college preparation and
the young person who never expects to
attend school beyond the public school
course can spend his time to better adj
vantage on other things.
