SELF-GOVERNMENT
The Des Moines High School Pupils Arc
Anxious to Try the Plan Adopted at
Ida Grove-Board Petitioned-sheak-
ley Favors 1t.
Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Des Moines, Jan. 24.-Since the inau-
guration of the self government system
in the Ida Grove high school the stu
dents in the Des Moines high schools
have been discussing the question OF
self-government in the high schools
here. The North high school has all
ready presented a petition to the board
and a petition will be circulated in the
West Des Moines high school Monday.
The plan is to dispense with a fac
ulty member TO preside over the assem-
lily room during study hours, but in
stead have the school organized into
two bodies after the manner OF the
United States congress-. These two
bodies might be called the U anu
the senate, and would have their pre-
siding and other officers whose duties
will be the same as those of the officers
in the two bodies of congress. There
would also be a judicial body, COM
posed of a chief justice and two or three
associate judges, to look after the legal
end of the affairs of the school. The
superintendent of the schools would
have a veto power on all actions taken
by the school. This is the plan adopted
at Ida Grove.
With what reception the proposition
will meet with by the board Is e matter
of conjecture. Louis Kurtz, president
of the board. when seen yesterday, said
ne did not care to express an opinion
upon the matter until he had given It a
little further thought. He said he had
not heard Of the movement. but that
he would be entirely willing to give he
students the hearing they will petition
for.
Superintendent Sheakley was seen at
his office. This vas h first intina-
ton he had received that the movement
was on foot. He said: A long as the
Superintendent has a veto power on the
actions of the school, why ! Q OBJ
iect to letting them have the self
government system. 1t would be prac-
t;cally the same as if they were q
the rule of a teacher. ] will confer with
PRINCIPAL Rummell or the subject. Yes.
i do think that the knowledge gained in
civil government by the adoption OF
such a system would be advantageous.
