RALLY
UNITED EFFORT TO BE MADE TO
AROUSE INTEREST IN
Il SCHOOL MATTERS.
Superintendent Beniah 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 15
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 whole in Wapello county. The
circular is as follows:
The Circular.
ITO county superintendent:
The educational council, through
one of its committees is undertaking
10 arouse a still greater interest on
the part Of the people in the educa-
,ional work of the state. T. 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
I yemher 15 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

a popular nature.
That the columns of the public pres:

topics.

time during the week beginning No

the work of the schools.
A New Thing.
