TERMS:
CONSOLIDATED SCHOOLS.

One of the Interesting questions now
occupying the attention Of rural resi-
dents in many parts of the state is
i that of the consolidation or township
1chool. In Il number of instances the
proposition Of their establishment has
been submitted to vote at the spring
school elections, and in few places
the experiment will be tried at once.
There can be no question of the SUI
periority Of such a school of the sub
district plan so far as efficiency is
concerned. Any intelligent person
knows that $35 teacher in a little
Single-room building with no equip
Inent except a blackboard, dictionary,
and, perhaps, an ancient chart, cannot
accomplishe results at all comparable
90 those attained under Favorable con-
ditions. 1t is fully realized by ma
jority of rural residents that their
school system is not keeping pace with
the times, and the need of improvement
Is everywhere admitted.
Aside from the comparatively small
number who believe that no improve
ment in the present rural school sys-
TEN is desirable, and nom resident
land owners who naturally look with
disfavor OIL any such innovation, there
are two classes who oppose the idea
of centralized schools-those whose
homes are situated at considerable
distance from the proposed school and
those who, tho more favorably To-
Gated argue that the change would
necessitate an expense out of proper
ton to the benefits received
So far as objections of this kind are
concerned it may be said that they oc-
cur in every undertaking. Obstacles
must be met and overcome in every
project that makes for the betterment
of human conditions, and it is not at
all probable that the people of the
few communities in Iowa who have
decided to make an effort to improve
their schools will have cause to re-
gret the action they have taken. 4

POISONING FOR A PROFIT.

DR.. Wiley, his poison squad, news

still others innocuous, but fraudulent.

SOME Pos1oEElcE HISTORY.

Under the first postmaster general,
the rs postoffices of 1889 served an
average OF 52,400 persons each. Under
his forty SUCCESSORS, there has been an
increase Of postoffices from 1,025 in
1S003s01, serving an average of 5000
persons each, to maximum of 76,945
in 100000, or a postoffice for less than
each thousand of population. The in
crease in rural free delivery routes,
making unnecessary many fourth-olass
offices, has reduced the number to H.
31.513 mail routes, 496,S1S miles in
length, with annual travel in 1904 of
5o5,5S5,526 miles. OF these 421 were
electric car routes, covering 1916
miles. A hundred years ago. the year.
ly postal receipts were about half a
million dollars, out of which as high
as 100000 profit was returned to the
government. In 1900, the receipts
passed the hundred million point, but
showed a deficit exceeding $5,000,000.
The largest deficit, in 1897, exceeded
$11,00Q,0O0, but it is estimated that the
deficit for 1906 will exceed s14.0OO,0Oo.
In 1916 letter postage became cents
per half ounce under and 10 cents over
300 miles; in 1851. the rate was made
8 cents under and cents over 5000
miles; i'll 1868. the rate became 8 cents

GROWING BUSINESS
Exports of Manufactures
for This Decade
More Than Six Times as Greet as

time $500, 900 against $421,OO0. 600 in
1903. and SAL, OOO,OOO in the lrlier
high-record year, 1900. Comp; lring
1904 with still earlier periods, it may
be said that the exports of manu- &C
lures were in 1894, ten years earl ier
but $177, 200, 900: in 1884. $136, OO0Ot o;
in 1874, S92, 100000; in 1864. $4O,000,0t 0,
and int1S54, $2S,OOO,O 900. These figure
relate to calendar years except those
of 1884 and earlier dates, which are
those of fiscal years. The chief growth
in the exports of manufactures, it will
be seen, has occurred during the past
decade the growth during that period
being 1925, OO0,0 900 against $41,000,000 in
the decade 1SS4-1S94, $44,0OO,OOO in the

cade 1S64-1S74, and $12.000,000 in the
decade 1S54-1S64. Thus the increase
in the exports of manufactures, decade

time has been as follows:

through its bureau of statistics. These
ten articles or groups of articles, con-
sidered in their relative magnitude, are
iron and steel manufactures, agricul-
tural implements, chemicals, and cars
and carriages.
Considering iron and steel, the larg-
est of these groups of manufactured
articles and the most important be-
cause of the fact that it represents in
a higher degree the finished product
than is the case with certain other OF
the articles classified as manufactures,
it may be said that the figures of 1904
$12S,553,613, are more than four times
as great as those of a decade earlier,
the total value of iron and steel man
ufactures exported in 1894 being but
$29, 94S. 729, while the total value of iron
and steel manufactures exported since
1890 exceeds $1,000, 100000, the precise
total, considering in all cases the fig
ures of calendar years, being $1,00S,
