1t is natural for new teachers to in
truduce new fads, as they are judged
very largely now by the educational
boards, by their knowledge Of these
advanced ideas in teaching. State
meetings, frequently state superinten-
dents, cultivate this idea of running
to fads, so teachers will endeavor to
to keep up with the procession
Knowing that their salary depends on
being considered as educators with adj
vanced ideas. Despite this many
teachers will tell you earnestly and
honestly that they believe pupils
would acquire greater amount or
knowledge that would be beneficial in
after life If the old methods of in
struction We're returned to, even
tho such methods We're imperfect.

of these counties are important factors
in the Fifth congressional district One
of if not the best, district in this great
sttte of Iowa. For years they have
been side by side in political conven-
items and have had united interest
in common in many matters belonging
to them and central Iowa. How do
wn stand with each other? Years ago
ore James Wilson was a member of
the Iowa legislature and by his genius
ard work he came to the front and
WAS a candidate for speaker of that
body How did Marshall county
stand? We are advised she voted IN
the affirmative. A little later on Judge
Struble of Tamn county was brought
to the front for the same position. We
are advised that again Marshall coun-
ty voted in the affirmative. A little
latter on when the Fifth congressional
district was composed Of other coun-
tiys--it may have had some other
member then-.Jalnes Wilson was a
candidate for congress. We are ad-
yised that in a close contest Marshall
county again went with Tama.
little later on 1'ama county presented
the name of e. G. Ebersole for supreme
court reporter. There were several
CO ndidates in the field. Once more
