Des Moines, Sept. 3O.-The educators
of the state of Iowa are planning for 4
general campaign In the state of Iowa,
to advance the cause of education and
to improve the condition of the teachers
In the public schools. The movement
proceeds from the resolutions passed
at the last meeting of the State Teach
els' association held in December and
the topics outlined for investigation
ana discussion by the educational
council for the meeting next December.
Tie educational council laid out pro-
gram which was suggested first by
Professor Thomas Nicholson, of Cornell
College, for Investigation of the con-
dition of the teaching profession in the
state. not only the wage question but
the social surroundings and the person
al status in the community of the
teacher the prospect Of ad-
vancement, etc. Along with this
it was proposed by the association, that
the teachers themselves and the county
and city superintendents inaugurate a
movement to arouse renewed interest in
the school work thruout the state. 1t
Is now proposed that Friday, November
20, be made special day In the schools
of the state for public meetings in the
inteSest OF education. Meetings will
be arranged In the school houses and
public places where school officers and
school patrons will meet with teachers
and all others interested in educational
work and there will be discussion of the
needs of the schools. 1t is suggested as
a preliminary 10 this that the ministers
be urged to preach on the preceding
Sunday on some topic related to edu-
eational matters. The newspapers are
also to be urged to devote some time
during the week preceding Nov. 20 to
the discussion OF educational topics.
The movement is statewide and Is to
be urged upcn all the people of the
state interested In education. AS re-
suit OF the agitation begun two years
ago, by the State Teachers Association.
emphasized By the stirring appeal of
the state superintendent, in his last an
nual address to the association, much
has already been accomplished in the
way of bringing the pay of teachers in
Iowa up to the standard of other pro-
fessions.

The Iowa member of the committee
on resolutions Of the National Farmers
Congress, which met in Niagara f'alls
this month, was opposed to much that
was in the report as presented. FOR
one thing he was opposed to the reso-
luton which was reported and which
was passed by the congress on the
subject OF the merchant marine. This
was Wesley Greene. the well-known
specialist in horticulture, who was
placed on the committee on resolutions
TO represent Iowa. II was opposed to
the resolution on merchant marine
said Mr. Greene. AS 1t was reported
and passed, it means nothing. we
should have said something that would
have Indicated what we really wanted.
The resolution as passed by the con-
gress merely expressed desire for
a merchant marine without suggesting
what should he done or that anything
should be dore. 1t did not go 80 far
as to urge congress TO do something
and leave it to our statesmen to solve
the problem. There was such fear in
the committee that something would
be done that might be constructed into
Endorsement OF a movement that would
help out capital and give assistance
to corporations. that the committee
would recommend nothing. Now the
word subsidy is offensive, but 1t Is
perhaps the best we can get. PERSON.

doing something to encourage capital
to go into the merchant marine. That
is the only way it will ever be built up.
We should have said so frankly and
plainly"
A strong association of the employ
ers of Des Moines has been formed for
the purpose of crushing out of exist
ence the movement to organize for mu-
tual protection to employees of the city.
This association now has about $50
members. Some time ago a represen-
tative of d. NJ. Parry's organization
came to Des Moines to effect an or
ganigation for this purpose, but went
away, declaring that the city is already
well organized by the employers. The

TEACHING ENGLISH IN THE
 SCHOOLS.
,ia Breeze remarks

The Columbia Breeze remarks
 The Advertiser again agitates the mat ter of newspapers incorporating the name of the town where they are published with the name of the paper. The reason for this is apparent, and was discussed by The Breeze two or three years ago, at which time The Advertiser came ably to the support of this paper. while some of the "homeless-headed" ones were dis posed to ridicule the idea. When The Ad- vertiser accomplishes this reform. will it take up the question of having the study of the English language made compulsory in the public schools?
 The Advertiser had but faint hope of effecting the reform suggested to the press with reference to naming their pa pers, but we have not changed our ideas as to the desirabiity of it. We certainly think 1t would be beneficial to what our contemporary calls homeless headed newspapers. if they would include the name of their towns in their newspaper headings. but if they do not see the ad- vantage of making the change suggested We know of no way to help it.
 As to the other matter suggested by The Breeze we would like to ask if there are any of the public schools in which English Is not now taught? It may no; be taught in the way We would like. or In the way The Breeze would prefer but We suppose 1t is part of the curriculum in all the schools of the State. The Ad- vertiser has on more than one occasion | expressed itself very plainly in favor of the public schools devoting more time and attention to the fundamenta branches of common school education and less to the higher branches, at leasr so far as the younger pupils are affected We have contended. and still contend that there is too much disposition tC crowd and hurry little children beyond their capacities. We maintain that a least in this one respect the old metho- of teaching children was superior to thu present, Then the primary object was t' lay a solid educational foundation b!

of the very great material benefits sure to result.
 The founding of a hundred thousand dollar institution is not a small thing. The income Of such a college and the spending money of it's students are dis bursed in the community where it is located; visitors and friends are attracted to 1t; and, roughly estimating the current expenditure might be put at something like fifty thousand dollars per annum. In addition to regular success of income such a foundation stimulates heque3ts and donations. Success is d magnet to at tract other means Of success. Constantly wealthy men and women. who have not families closely dependent on them. are giving of their abundance to educa tion and benevolence. Such deeds show forth with the steady ray of clean shining stars. Our colleges are beginning to at tract the attention of those who are liberal and well to do. Some of our people are growing rich, and their hearts are throhbing with the impulse to give. They will certainly adopt the wisdom of giving to those institutions which give promise of continuing the benefaction in rich and ever richer streams of right teaching and fair learninP
 How inestimable are the influences of such a college upon a community? It brings with it a general uplift and tends to elevate the entire social tone. It is like the gradual certain approach of light driving away mist and darkness What he nobler than the desire to spread it's benefits and benefactions.
 We all earnestly hope that this project will be carried forward with energy and spirit of cooperative helpfulness. C. A. Lanier.

MINERS HAVE FIGHTS.
Trouble Between Union and Non
 Union Men.

Knoxville Tenn. Nov. 6.-Trouhle he- tween union and non-union miners of the Coal Creek district broke out late yes terdav and a general fight ensued at the mines of the Coal Creek Company. As lJU non-union miners came out of Thistle Mine. they were met by 200 union miners. who. after assaultinG several took the whole number prisoners and marched them to the railroad station and put them on the train for Jellico. paying fares for each.
 The Coal Creek Company accepted the srale of wages set out in tho recent opc- rators' and miners joint conference but the company proposed to make contracts with the individual miner instead of with the miners union. This was combatted bv union miners. with the result that the company recently ordered all union work CTS to quit its employ and vacate lts houses, Ejectmont suits followed and are set for hearing November l6. This company for years employed both unior ard non-union miners and has paid the union scale.
