The raid was made to clear up the

School Board Adopts Resolution Doing
Away With Vertical Writing in the
West Des Moincs Schools.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. Nov. 9.--Vertical writ
ing IL to be done away with In the
West Des Moines schools.
At n meeting of the school board yes
tcrdny noon. n resolution was passed
adopting the Morse educational system
OF medinl slant writing and dispensing
with the National system of vertical
writing.
Continued complaints from business
men and patrons Of the schools that
Des Moines boys and girls after finish
ing the schools are poor penmen led
to an investigation by the board. 1t
was decided that the vertical system
was to blame and hence the passage
Of the new resolutions.
The action OF the West Des Moines
school board is In line with that of thu
Chicago board and other school boards
OF the country. Dozens OF school
boards have recently done away with
vertical writing. which Is accused oil
being a fad and an unnatural style.
The new system adopted by til.
West Des Moines schools is a medium
slant. being on an angle OF 22M de.
grees. Tho old Spencerian system
which the present day businesses mer
learned when they went to school hat
a slant of IS degrees. The new sys.
tenn is n happy medium between the
Spencerinn style and the vertical
Opinions from many of the schoo
teachers fled with the board favored
vertical writing. 1t was noticeable
fact however. that the penmanship OF
the teachers recommending vertica
writing was all on the slant.
viii Change Now.
Scholars having started under the
vertical system will be changed to the
slant. The old copy books issued b,
the d. G. Heath Publishing Company
will be taken up. and the new ones
providing the Morse educational sys.
tenn. published by Silver Burdett &
Company, will be Installed.
The resolution passed by the board
was as follows:

Des Moines. Nov. 9.--With the dis
tribution of culture outfits turnout the
city and state, which are to be used
for the collection of germs to be fx.-
warded to the state meteorological lab
oratory at Iowa City for analysis the
state board of health yesterday insti-
tuted the work which bids fair to rid
Iowa of much of contagious disease.
The culture outfits are to be used by
physicians who are to collect the germs
and forward them to the State Univer-
sity where Il thorough diagnosis will be
made within n few hours after the ar
rival of the culture.
Yesterday DIR. Linn distributed the
culture outfits at seven different drug
stores In Des Moines. The culture
outfits thus far provided are for testing
for tuberculosis diphtheria. and ty-
phoid fever. The tuberculosis OUT
fit consists of a glass vial within a
wooden vial. Within the vial is culture
media In which the germs will thrive
and grow. The diphtheria culture out
fit has a tube with culture media and
swab. The typhoid fever culture out
fit includes platinum fork and wire
and sheet of platinum with also a vial.

graphed back to the physician. DR..
Linn sent in n culture outfit the other
day. mailing It on the noon train. At
s o'clock that evening he received a
telegram in which the entire diagnosis
was made.
For the carrying on of this work the
last legislature appropriated $4,000.
This went toward fitting up the state
laboratory at Iowa City for the work
and toward paying the salary of an
assistant in the department.. DR.. Hem

ment the work sent in Is attended to
first and everything is side tracked for
1t.
Thruout the cities Of the state
these culture outfits are being dis
tributed. For the ordinary physician
to stop to make diagnosis thru
germ ANALYSIS, much time Is required
and also special knowledge Not many
physicians are sufficiently versed In
bacteriology TO make these examina-
tons. Hence. for the state to do 1t,
time is saved and precautionary meas
ures are assured as never before.
With the prompt diagnosis of each
case, many contagious diseases may he
