complaining of a scarcity Superinten-
dent Hostetler had all and more than
she needed. There are certain trials
to be undergone by the rural teacher
during the cold winter months how
ever, and many Of the young women
who enjoy the fall season make no ap-
plication for winter schools. Some do.
not have to teach, but do so during the
nice weather ito earn little Christmas
money" Would 1t not be good plan
for the ambitious young woman who
is earning her own way in the world
to fit herself for the teaching profess
sion, take hold Of some OF these good
rural schools and stay by them for a
time. Good salaries are paid In many
districts, in fact nearly all. The
pay, when more expensive board ana
lodging In the city are considered,
together with other necessary ex-
penses, is greater, In matter Of saw
ings. than the city teacher receives.

eventually work into something bet
ter II she cared to follow the work as
a profession ~
With scarcity Of corn pickers on
every hand there is no good reason for
any able-bodied man standing Idly on
the street corners and bowling about
hard times. With average farm hands
earning from $3.50 to "a per day in
the field, an ordinary green horn"
could at least earn his 81 and not have
to exert himself. Get busy, boys, you
who are really anxious to work, and
HE to the country for a few days. It
win do you good, both physically ana
financially.
The Iowa Central Is not to outdone
by any effort Of other roads to place
week END excursion" on the mar
ket. The Central has had in force for
several years a similar plan, altho not
so broad in It's scope as the new ar
rangement announced this week. The
general passenger department OF the
Central has put into force as trial,
until December II, half rates on Sat
urdays and Sundays to all points
within $50 miles Of starting point, good
to return Monday morning. This is
one fare for the round trip, and Is
more than the usual concession. A
minimum rate OF rs cents has been
made In this class. On Fridays. to
points not less than Is miles, nor more
than $50. and limited to Monday.
fare and one third rates have been au-
thorized. Still another has been an
nounced, in the shape Of rate Of ono
fare, plus 81, to points over $50 miles,
limited to i've days. The merchants OF
the city will undoubtedly profit by tho
rates, which are. to be in effect until
within q week from Christmas. Holl-
day rates will then probably succeed
them.
The efforts OF Superintendent Cof-
cen, of the public schools, and Prin-
opal Brumbaugaa Of the high schoos,
to swing the colleges into line in a
plan to make requirements for stu>
dents more uniform, will no doubt re-
suit in much good for every graduate
Of the high school, no matter whether
he attends college or not. The latter
class will be benefited thru the advicc
that the superintendent and principal
may give, after a careful study Of the
answers to the list OF Questions they
have propounded to the colleges, and
the Investigations they may make into
their courses of study. Too varied an
assortment Of work IL at present de.
manded OF the high school, the local
school men believe, and they have hit
,vnn,, fine Investigating plan together
with a scheme to bring shout uni
fornity Of the requirements, in bet
tering conditions generally.
