GET READY FOR BUSINESS.

Merchants in the towns in Iowa are
just beginning to realize what a tre-
mendous trade is to be transacted III
their stores this winter season. For
several months enormous crops have
been in sight It has been apparent
that the yield from the fields this year
has been greater than in any previous
year In ten. but the only effect upon
business has been the disposition of the

been very busy as the result Of heavy

Now, however, customers are MAX

we have learned much from the
Japanese in war and sanitation, and
according to Thornwell Haynes, United
+ States consul at Marking, China, we
ar certain to learn much in business
way and pay for the tuition. Mr.
Haynes, like other bright consuls at
competitive trading points, is urging
American manufacturers to adopt the
German, British and Japanese meth
DDS OF securing trade. Our consul at
Rio Janiero recently drew a comparison
& Between the German salesman, who is
in all practical points Brazilian, and
the American burdened with an inter-
prefer and utterly non-conversant with
the needs and character Of the South
American. Now Mr.. Haynes sharply
criticises exporting manufacturers Of
America for their failure to go after the
trade of China with the intelligence
and energy exercised by the Japanese.
The japanese, he says, maintain
school at Shanghai where Japs are
taught the Chinese language. The stu
dents in this school. after graduation,
are employed by the japanese exporters
as their commercial representatives in
China, and they are fast covering the
whole empire The Yangtze valley is
full Of them.
And what demands Mr. Haynes,
ARE the American exporters doing to
Offset such work? Sending advertising
matter printed in English and few
agents unacquainted with China.
That's all. What Cinnamon knows
about foot. an ounce or a dollar is
about as much as an American knows
about cha. lang. or a yuen. Every
American mail brings to my consulate
dozens of circulars, catalogs, ETC..
which at the very best can do hut
limited amount of good.
Mr.. Haynes wants the manufacturers
of the United States or Of some COM
munity, to get together and start sort

always wants to look see before ne

Dear Sir: I am reader Of your
valuable, paper, have been for years,
but never have written letter to you
before MY temptation is to write my
thoughts on rural schools, and say just
one thing I have never seen printed.
Teachers need higher wages, that is
true, but first why not Gull out many
that are sent out to our country schools
among the little children. who are not
fit for that place, and such is. the case
where schools are far from towns and
must take what is left. am the mo-
Their Of seven children, six of whom
are in school now. For one I am now
paying tuition to a town school, and
soon will have to do the same with the
rest if this new law doesn't make a
show. Many farmers pay taxes for
their own schools, and still send all
their children to the town or graded
school.
Don't misjudge US farmers, and
speak of us as we are often spoken of,

THE SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.

below follows two interesting COM
munications on the rural school
question:
Criticises Examinations.
I notice an article in the columns
of the Times Republican an rural
schools stating that a scarcity of
teachers now exists. don't believe
that there are any less number of
competent persons who could teach,
but the influence of our so-called edu-
Gators certificates have been withheld
from many that are worthy of n cer-
titicate.
Two or three years ago the educa
tors sent to all of the directors in the
rural schools to have the teachers
wages raised. Even going SO far as
to demand a raise In wages in the
middle OF the term. 1t has been the
persistent intention of our state sup
erintendent TO consolidate the rural
schools of Iowa at any cost; he had
it nearly completed. Higher wages is
the constant plea.
In this T.-R article it Is said that
directors are paying from $50 to $40
per month and yet the educators want
the wages raised. This contention
might be of force IL 1t did not make
too big a breach between the common
wage Garner and the teacher. l am
advised that at the Soldiers Home
at Marshalltown that the girls working
there are paid $12 per month, not 80
per week, but strictly $12 for twenty
six days, and yet have never heard of
anybody putting in a kick. l wonder
Ii these so-called educators are going
to force us farmers to consolidate
and add the extra expense Of hauling
the children three or four miles to get
them instructed. The farmers tax has
been increased continually for the last
three or five years. Shall one keep
mum? No, / am going to speak out
in meetin': No: give our daughters
certificates. or abandon the present
laws that have built our high schools.
In every town in Iowa a number OF
graduates are turned out every year.
and vet no teachers. II the high
schools and colleges can not furnish
teachers, why consolidate? thought
Iowa stood second to none in educa
tion--and vet no teachers.
