MANUAL TRAINING.
State Superintendent Barrett Issues a
PanphIet

JtlCks
Superintendent OF Public Instruction
Barrett has issued an instructive pam
phlet entitled Manual Training, and
How to Introduce 1t Into the Public
Schools" which contains a great deal
OF information in regard to this i'm
portant branch of school work The
publication is illustrated with half
tones from photographs of the manual
training departments of West Des
Moines schools and of Ames college.
Speaking of the sentiment in Iowa in
regard to manual training Supernten,
dent Barrett says:
Though the general teaching body
is in favor of needed changes being
made in courses of study and of the
introduction of more of the Industrial
features in school work, the introduce
ton OF manual training may not be
rapid. Two things appear to be
necessary before great changes may
be very generally made. First, the
people must be led to understand that
proposed changes are for the benefit
OF the children, and second provision
must be made whereby it will become
possible to obtain teachers prepared
to give the required instruction. AS
stated elsewhere manual training has
been incorporated in the courses OF
study in a number of normal schools.
1t is to these schools in large part that
we must, think, look for the greatest
assistance. Boards of directors and
those governing and managing nor
NAL schools must work in unity The
people are not likely to undertake the
introduction of manual training with.
out some assurance that teachers quail
flied to give instruction may be had,
while on the other hand a course in
manual training is not likely to be add
ed to the normal school course I'M
less it is reasonably certain that
teachers will be needed to instruct in
manuel training ip public schools. /.

w. A. UNDERWOOD, PIT.
The Proposition of January 10.

w. A. UNDERWOOD, PIT.
The Proposition of January 16.
The proposition of January 16, to
which Mr.. Underwood refers in his
letter, outlines the plans of purchase
and gives the city the option of taking
the water supply plant for $225,O00,
or both the water power and water
supply plants for 100000. The pro-
position of January 16, which was re-
jected by the city council at meet
ing held January 81, is substantially
as follows:
terms of the franchise, the company
will do this: The city shall pass
franchise to the company for twenty
five years, to take effect and begin
from the completion and extensions
by the city of the improvements we
may mutually agree to make before
hand. The company will then put a.
mortgage on the franchise and the
plant as improved, all prior mortgages
being paid off. This mortgage will
secure 100000 of five per cent twenty
five year bonds, and enough more
bonds to pay for the cash cost OF max
ing the agreed improvements. All es-
Inmates, bills and statements for said
improvements to be submitted to the
city engineer or such other officer as
the council may appoint for his audit.
"That is to say, 100000 of these
bonds for the present water power
and water works plant and the balance
for improvements. The company will
convey to the city the whole plant,
the water works and the water power
by warranty deed. subject only to
| this mortgage, and the city shall pay
to the company $4,000 in cash from
the sinking fund, to be used in the
reduction of the outstanding bonds.
And the mortgage and bonds shall
provide that such number of same
shall be drawn each year for redemp-
| ton as may be agreed upon.
1--WE want 1t distinctly understood
that the price here named is not what
we consider fair to u.s. 1t is a dis
count of all the interest on the
original bonded debt for about nine
years, and one half of the principal.
In the meantime while the work is
progressing, the company will supply
| to the city and its inhabitants, at the
same rate as provided in the present
temporary ordinance. Should the
| city not desire the water power pro-
perty the company will accept $225, 900
| in such bonds and retain the water
power property and convey the Water

works property to the city on the terms
above, the only difference being in the
amount. We are unwilling to include
in the improvements the build
ing of an intake and the lay
ing of a supply main from Har-
rows branch, because it adds nothing
to the value of the mortgaged property
but costs large sum of money. y

big things. This railroad is going to
be a big thing for you and your chill
dren. Yes, Wilson is all right. He
didn't fight in the late unpleasantness.
He tells the women he was too young.
Wilson is here to build a railroad for
your good and prosperity, and he can't
build one where there is nothing to
haul out. If he buys up timber for his
company, it is the only way to get
them to back him in the enterprise.
Now, gentlemen of the opposition, if
there are any here today don't let the
thought of Wilson's possible profit rob
you of this golden opportunity. l live
