believe the whole two hundred repre-
sent the sentiment of the state of Iowa.

teal information as may be obtainable
seems to support his assertion. Both
agreed that present high school meth
dds are inadequate to prepare the pu-
pill for life. The truth of the latter
statement is in itself corroborative of
the former assertion. The elementary
thing in life Is to get the means of
living. 1t seems to follow that the ele-
mentary training of a pupil should CEN
ter about the primary necessity.
Society is selfish. Its system of pub
lie schools is not all altruistic, but a
protective business proposition.
The system seems to be the easiest
path to good citizenship, and good citi-
zens constitute great commemorative
and keep them great. They make the
homes which are the units Of ma
TONS prosperity. The public school and
the university are simply preparatory
courses to respectable citizenship. 1t
Is the duty of the schools, as the
speaker at Milwaukee asserted. to teach
the boy the elements of successful home
making and the girl the elements of
successful home keeping.
The question is: are the schools do
ing this thing? Are they teaching
what DIR. Seerley calls control over
things?" We are turning out some
beautiful work, but is the general out
put up to the possible average? this
is an Industrial age and the problems
of the future are certain to be indus
trial problems that call for thinking
and analytical minds and dextrous
hands. Are we neglecting material ne
cessities in our searcls for the intel
lectual?
The public school will never have
reached it's full usefulness until it pre-
pares youth not only to think, but to
act like men; to accept responsibility
and hard work as a privilege, and to
meet changing conditions in the con-
ndence that comes from the ability
to do things as we'll as to think them.
We must get back to first principles
We must find some method of making
the schoolroom "a plus" mark of cred
1t In the practical wor-a-day life for
which one is being prepared, to
make training as much an essential
of education as learning, to breed

BUSINESS IMPROVING IN IOWA.

Merchants and jobbers turnout Iowa
come, so active within the past few
weeks. For nearly a year now, times
have been "close" in Iowa. Nearly
every jobber has found his customers
aacking in enthusiasm and collections
rather slow. Month with month would
show falling off in sales. The mer-
chants found themselves hard up. 1t
seemed as tho they had fair-sized for
tunes on their books, but no money
with which to discount bills. The
banks were affected and deposits ran
low. Good crops were raised last sea-
son In most parts Of Iowa. but close
times seemed to continue all winter
These were the conditions we'll into
January, when all at once there WIS
q change. Business became active at
the stores, bills We're being paid, there
was money with which to discount the
jobbers' invoices and an inducemsnt
TO stock up with more goods. Bank
deposits began to rise and by the mid
die of February business men in the
average Iowa town began to tell one
another that business has been pretty
good for some reason or other
What produced the change? The
cause is not difficult to find. The FAR

Of last season, have been holding 1t all
winter for better prices and have just
begun to turn it into money. The T.
r.. employs two men who drive thru
the rural districts thruout the year and
Ia their conversation with farmers they
have learned that the great majority
have been feeding their grain to cattle
and hogs or holding their corn in the
cribs for higher prices. The farmer
who is feeding cattle or who is holding
corn feels just as poor as tho he hadn't
raised a crop. He puts the storekeeper
off and makes the banker wait When
January arrived the livestock market
reports indicated a great rush Of cat
tie and hogs to market. At the same
time bank deposits in Iowa rose and
business at the stores took on life.
It simply shows that the production
of wealth in Iowa is done on the farms
and until each seasons products are
moved to market business at the stores
and the banks goes slow. Last sea-
sons crop having now begun to move
business in Iowa will continue good
until next winter when all will depend
On the crop to be raised this summer.
In northern Iowa this quickening of
trade is not SO noticeable since last
years crop was partial failure.

LIVE WIRES.
Plaintiff. while driving his horse on
an open public street in the city of
st. Louis, in attempting to get out
of the way of another vehicle turned
the horse to the right of the vehicle
and the animal came in contact with
n trolley wire of defendant which was
down, killing the animal At the
time of the accident the defendants
whole system was in q state of great
disorder and no cars were being run
by reason Of q strike among it's en-
ployes and existing attendant lawless-
ness Plaintiff brought this action to
recover for the damages sustained.
Held, that the prevalence of the strike
did not excuse the act of the street
railway in permitting the live wire to
be down upon the street, but rather
lent force to the charge of negligence
in permitting electricity to be conduct
ed thru the wire at Il period when it
was not necessary for the movement
of the cars. Cleary VS.. st. Louis

Child Rescued by Horse,

While playing on the pavement in
front Of her home in Bedford, Pa.
Ruth O'Hara, small child, fell under
the feet of horse. The child's mother
looked on in horror, expecting to see
her crushed to death. But the horse
backed away from the child, then
grasped the little ones skirts with his
teeth, and lifted her gently upon the
curb. The horse lost two molars in
the operation, but the grateful par
ents of the little child are going to get
him some crockery teeth.

purchaser for six months, and TO 90
all i'm his power to hold the custom
ers for the purchaser, and not to EN-
gage in the business for five years

business. Plaintiff as administrators
of lis estate brought suit for an ac-
counting for the deceased partner
share In the purchase price. Held,

good will of the firm, but that of de-

removing snow and ice from the roof
of the building and from the sidewalks,
etc. Plaintiff was injured on the icy
sidewalk, resulting from the discharge
Of water from IL conductor which took
the water from the roof of the build
ing. Plaintiff brought this action for
damages and defendants defended on
the ground that whatever arrangement
WIS made between them and the own
err of the building, 1t did not change
the duty of the owner as far as the
public was concerned to have the con-
ductor in proper repair. Held, that tho
plaintiff could not sue on the covenant
In the lease, the covenant rendered de-
PENDANTS liable for the injury to plain
