.DAIRYMEN TO MEET
TWENTYsTxTH ANNUAL CON.
vENTloN OF STATE AssocIA.
TIoN.
November 1s, 10 and 20 Are the Con.
vention Days and Already an Excel
lent Program Has Been Arranged =
Ottumwans May Attend

Although none of the local dairymen
or commission merchants have fully
decided whether or not they will at
tend the tWenty-siXth annual conyen-
ton OF the Iowa State Dairy associa-
lion, which will be held in Waterloo
November Is, 10, and 20, several of
them have the matter under consid-
Grafton and may attend. Owing to
the fact that the National Butterma-
kers' association, which was to hold
its convention i'll Sioux Falls, will not
hold meeting this year, it is thought
the convention at waterloo Will be of
especial interest and Importance.
Among those who will address the con-
yention this year are Governor Cum
,nlins, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
State Dairy Commissioner Wright and
Others of national reputation. The pro-
gram as announced by the secretary
OF the association is as follows:

Now, it is well known fact that
northern white people, as well as
southern white people, win turn out
enmasse if it is simply intimated that
there is to be a negro minstrel i'm the

whenever 1t is announced that Hon.
C?) Benjamin r. Tillm8n of South
Carolina or any of the rest of his
tribe are to deliver one of those vulgar
inVectiyesS against the negro; and it,,
therefore, seems TO be q sad reflection
upon the sincerity OF the northern
white man, as well as upon his sense
of justice to the negro, that he is
eager 10 see the ridiculous side of the
negro and to hear anything that his
enemies may have to say against him
even though it be encouched in q vul-
gar TRADE such as none but a black

ing TO the new schedule but little
change will be made in the time of
trains of the Abba branch.
The passenger train that formerly

Tracy with passenger No. 81 which
leaves Burlington at 7:45 o'clock in the

meet with the passenger for Des

EDUCATIONAL RALLY
UNITED EFFORT TO BE MADE TO
AROUSE INTEREST IN
4 SCHOOL MATTERS.
Superintendent Reniah Dimmitt Re.
ceives Suggestive Circular From
State Superintendent Barrett Min
listers Asked to Help in Work

=
a circular issued by State Superin-
tendent CT Public Instruction R. c.
Barrett, which has for it's purpose the
arousing Of more and greater interest
among the masses of the people in ed
ucational matters has been received
by County Superintendent Beniah Dim
mitt. The circular suggests the hold
ing of public meetings not for school
officers and teachers only, but for the
people, upon a uniform date through
out the state and the preaching of SER
mons by ministers from their pulpits
upon educational topics upon Sunday,
November Is.
Superintendent Dimmitt will take UP
the matter with many of the ministers
OF the county and it is probable that
the suggestions contained in the cir
cular will be carried out in part if not
as a whole in Wapello county. The
circular is as follows:
The Circular.
s'1'o county superintendent:
The educational council, through
one of its committees is undertaking
to arouse a still greater interest on
the part of the people in the educa-
tional work of the state. F. E. Palmer
of Jefferson, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee, having the work in charge,
asks your cooperation in these things:
''That you Try to persuade every
minister of the gospel in your county
TO devote at least one sermon, No
yember Is, to a discussion of the
themes bearing upon the work of the
public schools.
THAT you hold one or more public
meetings Friday evening, November
20, and if you SO desire, Saturday, No.
vemher 81 that these meetings be OF
a popular nature.
That the columns Of the public press
be used as much as possible in giving
reports of these meetings, and in talk.
ing up the discussion Of educational
topics.
THAT you ask the various literary
clubs OF Your county to consider, some.
time during the week beginning No
vember Is, the questions bearing upon
the work of the schools.
A New Thing.

LIZ 7sNiLid l4tSss Nhtl pGCn III
any state. A great hindrance to the ad-
EanceInenl Of popular education is the
lack OF interest upon the part of the
people themselves. 1t is the hope OF
the committee to arouse greater educa-
tional zeal everywhere. While much
has been accomplished, there still re-
mains much to do.
THAT there may be uniformity Of
effort, the committee suggests as sub
iects for discussion, among others, the
following:
Shall. we give men to books or to
themselves?
DO we not need an education OF the
heart and hand as greatly as an edu-
cation of the head?
The time element in education.
Teachers wages.
These topics are, only suggestive.
Should other questions appeal to ycu
as of greater Importance, you viii
make substitutions
1T is urged by the committee that
the program be made for the people.
We agree with the committee that
these meetings Shout NOT be for the
teachers and school officers alone. but
for the citizens and pat nns. We have
