SPEND MONEY AT FAIRS.
Teachers Co Sight Seeing Instead Of
Attending College.

Cedar Falls. Sept 19-National ex-
positions and increased enrolment at
the state normal do not so hand in
hand. according to the fifteenth bien-
NAL report which was submitted by
President H. H. Seerley to the board
of trustees recently. Mr.. Seerley says
that a great many teachers for finan-
cial reasons had to choose between at
tending the fairs and attending the
normal and a large percentage of them
have selected the fair, teaching the
next term instead of being a scholar.
He pointed out that the teaching
corps of the state is being rapidly de-
pleted by the educators retiring to en-
ter more remunerative vocations. In
consequence of this, the undergradll-
ates of the normal and other schools
have been able to secure positions
without having diploma and many OF
them have left school.
President Seerley also entered a
plea for a revision of the public school
curriculum He declared that revision
was more necessary now than thor
oughness OF better methods, despite
the popular belief that the public
school system is nearly perfect. He
claims that in the revision the teachers
and educators should have the say in
stead Of the patrons of the schools. lie
claims that children are given the adj
vanced studies too soon and that II
elementary work was substituted two
| years time would be saved the average
pupil during their school year.
Mr.. Seerley stated that the next hi
ennial period would be devoted to the
erection of building for physics and
chemistry and allied subjects. and an
other building for library. The mile
age fund will be used for this purpose
/ the power house and other preparatory
plans having been completed.
Among the new buildings badly
needed. Mr.. Seerley says, is manual
training home. He says that there is
growing demand for instructors in
manual training and that the norma
will necessarily have to improve its
course
Mr.. Seerley expressed his thanks tc

/ in the past and ventured the hope thai
it would do equally well by the state
normal in the future

Walnut Ridge, Dec. 8.-Archie Robertson, while engaged in nov ing seed in the seed house at the plant of the Phoenix oil mill got his foot caught in the conveyor, and so badly was it crushed that amputation was necessary. The conveyor is a long augur shaped shaft used for removing seed from the gin stands to the seed house. In some way the young man could not explain. his foot slipped in the conveyor and was soon caught against, an obstruc- tion, and was being gradually drawn in when an enploye dis covered the accident and threw off the belts running the ma chine. In a few minutes after the accident he was hurried to the the office of Drs. Ponder and Smith, where it was found that the bones in his right leg were 50 badly crushed that nothing less than an amputation would meet the emergency of the case. His leg was amputated about eight inches below the knee.
