and house on the advisabillt of hav-

reported recommending the establish

Just how serious may be the propo-
sltion for the removal of the schoo
for the deaf to new location neal
the center of the state or where the
ground is better can not yet be deter
irined. but the fight will soon be or
and the opposing forces in the legisla-
ture Will have to show themselves
The appropriations committees viii
nave the consideration of the bill 70,
the removal in connection with the ap-
preparation which will be necessary te
carry the act into force. The hearing
on the deaf school bill has been fixe6
for next Tuesday afternoon 1t Is ex-
pected that Council Bluffs will send Z
large delegation and there may be g
delegation from GlSinnell to make ar
offer and from some other cities of the
state. But very little has been heard
about the proposed removal in Des
Moines and Des Moines people, as
such, have not manifested any inter-
est. 1t has been assumed all along
that II there is a removal it will be tc
some good city in the central part OF
the state. but certainly not Des Moines
1t is regarded as significant that con-
sideration of the bill to send the in
ebriates to Knoxville was cut short and
never taken up again in the senate and
in the meantime the deaf school bill
was prepared afd presented. The re-
1noval movement has been confined al
most wholly to an association of deal
persons formed for their mutual adj
and they have been urg
ing the change from Council Bluffs
There has been some disposition al
Council Bluffs to criticise John Cownie
because he, as chairman of the state
board at the present time, signed the
report recommending that a better site
be secured. But beyond laying before
the legislature the bare statement OF
facts the board Cf control appears to
nave done nothing. AS a matter OF
fact the members of the board were
disposed two years ago to in
sist on the removal of the state peni-
from Fort Madison to more
favorable location. but they felt some
what timid about doing so, and now
them for failure to, have the peniten-
tiary removed. and committee has
recommended that no new buildings be
erected at Fort Madison. The legisla :
tive committee which Went to Council
Bluffs to look at THE deaf school made
no specific written report on removal,
but referred to the report of the state
board of control as cov@ring tho
ground fully.
The desks of the members of the
legislature have been supplied with
expansive, printed pamphlets signed
by the Council bluffs Commercial
Club. being a reply to the boards
report to the SENATE which was
called for. In ! this it is
stated regarding the report that
this report is not the fair. eandid
md correct statement of facts which we
have q right to expect from puflic Of
