Superintendent Barrett Tells
of the Uses to Which 1t
May Be Put
THE LAW is OFTEN VIOLATED

| Des Moines, Jan. S.-State Superin-
tendent Barrett has prepared circular
letter to county superintendent and
county auditors in which he points out
some common violations Of the law
respecting the use of the normal in
stitute fund. He tells in what ways
only the fund may legally be used in
the following statement:
The annual reports Of the county SUI
lperintendents now on file in this office
show that in some counties it is COM
mon practice to violate, unintentionally,
1--WE think, the law in relation to the
expenditure of the normal institute
fund.
1t should be known and observed,
First: No warrant may be drawn in
excess of the amount Of institute fund
in the county treasury.
Second: All bills must be signed and
sworn to by the party in whose favor
the order is made and verified by the
county superintendent.
Third: All disbursements Of the in
stitute fund shall be by warrants drawn
by the county auditor. who shall draw
said warrants upon the written order
of the county superintendent and be
for no purpose except for services rem
dered or expenses incurred in connec-
ton with the institute.
The practice of paying lecturers from
the institute fund for addressing teach
ers' associations is clearly a violation,
Of law. We are required to hold also
that the institute fund may not be used
to pay assistants secured by the county
superintendent to aid in conducting ex-
aminations or grading manuscripts.
The examination is no part Of the
institute. and anyone employed to aid
in conducting the same should be paid
by the county in the same manner
as others are who assist in general
county work.
A voluntary association Of teachers
is not an institute in the legal sense.
The institute must in all cases be con-
Quoted for at least six working days.
and be approved by the superintendent
OF public instruction.
Mr.. Barrett is also sending out a
circular letter to boards of supervisors,
in which he calls attention to the fact
such boards should make settlement
on the first Monday in January of each
year with the county superintendent
the same 90 with other county officers.
Attention is called to the advisability
of checking up the record books and
other property belonging to the super
intendent's Office. 1.-THE county super
intendent," says Mr.. Barrett, has
large power and equal responsibility.
We bespeak for him your hearty sup
port and encouragement in every right
endeavor to advance the good of the
schools. We are confident that fair
and liberal treatment from you will be
compensated by increased effort and
greater usefulness on the part OF the
superintendent"

Iowa City, Jan. S.-Iaw students with
A. B. degrees are much envied persons
/ in the Iowa law college today. Dean
Gregory announced this morning that
all students expecting to graduate from
the college Of law who had not college
degrees or high school certificates of
graduation would have to take an ex-
animation in high school subjects be-
fore the state board of law examiners
before they could be graduated from the
| college.
All the students in the college who
have not the college or high school d.
plomas took and passed before the uni
versity examiner an examination in
subjects equivalent to the high school
studies. The complaint Of the law stu
dents is not at having to take such an
examination, for they have already
passed the university examiners rigid
test, but at having to take the second
examination at the end of their senior
year. None Of them have brushed UP
on the subjects of high school studies
during their three years in the law col
I1ege and much work will be required
for them to pass.
TT is certainly a very hard stipula-
ton, this requirement of the state
board" said Dean Gregory today, "but ]
have been unable to obtain modifica-
ton of it. The attorney general agreed
| to accept the examination marks given
| by the university examiner, state Off
cial, but the other members Of the state
board refused to agree to this and re-
quire a passing in the studies before
the board. 1t is a very hard matter for
any oneScollege graduate or no, to pass
an examination in high school studies
after he has forgotten all about them
| for several years. This is the injus-
tice of the requirement as 1t appears to
the senior law students. They have al
ready passed such an examination at
the beginning of their freshman year,
before they were allowed to matricu-
late"
About thirty students, little more
than q third of the class, are affected
by the ruling of the state board.

| Aaron Mcdowell, Of this city, recently
underwent a peculiar experience when
piece of leather was cut from the top
of his foot. A year or more ago, he ac-
cidently stepped on a nail which pene-
trated the sole of his shoe and inflicted
q wound in the bottom of his foot. The
wound was dressed and he experienced
no further trouble, the sore healing
nicely. A short time ago. a swelling
developed on the instep and on con-
"a
opened and a small piece of leather was
removed. The supposition Is that the
small piece of leather was left in the
wound and had worked itself thru the
foot.
Perry.
The Chief says: In spite Of the best
of the argument generally falling on
the side of the advocate Of municip IL
ownership the experience with Perry
and it's waterworks the past monm
is an argument for the corporations.
For the month of December the coal
bill for Perry's waterworks amounted
to $644. The salaries of the two pump
ers, 500, makes the ownership OF the
waterworks cost the city 1874 for one
month. This is an unusual amount for
coal but while it may be said to be th2
direct result of blunder or oversight
vet after the time for making con-
tract had passed, the council could not
do otherwise. While the school board
is getting all the coal for the pubic
schools it needs at 1925 per ton the
city is paving from SO to SIS per ton
This is an unusual spectacle, but IT
forcibly emphasizes the benefits de-
rived from making contracts at the
right time. The city secured coal
wherever it could and did the best 1T
could after it was too late to make
a contract, but the failure of the city
to have contract for coal has cost
Perry In one month over three hundred
dollars
