Sending Children to the Town and
City Schools Presents Serious Prob
lem in Education.
to r,mes-atepublican.

Special to T!mes-kepublican.
Sioux City, Oct. 31,-A startling de-
crease in the enrolment in many OF the
country schools in Woodbury. county,
due to the growing practice among
farmers of sending their children TO
Sioux City and other larger towns Tor
an education. is the problem now fac
ing County Superintendent Of Schools
E. A. Brown.
Many schools in Woodbury. county
have only five or ten pupils, according
to Professor Brown, and nearly all
country districts show steady falling
off in school attendance. Professor
Brown attributes this to the increas-
ing prosperity of farmers In the county
and to a general Improvement in their
condition, brought about by better
roads. rural free delivery and similar
modern conveniences.
Thirty years ago, he says, the farm
ers were content to send their boys and
girls to the country school, where they
acquired "a knowledge Of the three RS
and were satisfied with the rudiment-
ary education. But in recent years the
farmers are anxious that their child
rem shall have the very best educa-
ton attainable, and to that end send
them to the cities or move to town
themselves, while the children are be-
ing educated.
IA school in which there are but five
pupils cannot amount to much" said
Professor Brown "a child needs the
stimulus of large class, which arous-
es a spirit of emulation and keeps uE
the interest. Occasionally l find small
schools which are entirely satisfactory
but as a general thing teacher cannot
get the best results with only half a
dozen pupils.
"The only remedy can see for the
breaking down of the country school
system and the exodus of farm boys to
the cities. is "a centralized school sys-
tenn. Professor John F. Riggs, state
superintendent Of public instruction
also is inclined to this belief, and the
matter is being generally agitated over
the state. The decrease in the size OF
the country schools is recognized as
state wide menace.
..Under the centralized system, a
large graded school, employing several
teachers, is made to take the place OF
several one-room school houses. AT
present there are nine of these. small
schools in each township. 1 would rec
ommend instead one large graded
school for three of the smaller build
ings. BY concentrating our efforts on
three schools instead of nine we could
hope to approach the excellence Of city
schools.
"The danger of farms being aband-
oned for city life won't worry us in
this part of the country for years to
come. Hundreds of farm boys come
to the city for their education, and
then return to their homes and make
just as good farmers. While in the

HULL WOULD UNITE PARTY.
Gives an Earnest Address Before Large
Audience at Nevada.

Special to Times Republican.
Nevada, Oct. Congressman j. A.
T. Hull spoke to a large audience at
the opera house Monday evening. This
was the first political meeting of the
session here. Captain Hull devoted a
considerable portion Of his time to a
comprehensive review of the work Of
the, last congress, and the many inn
portant measures passed under the
leadership of Roosevelt and the repub-
lican party. His every utterance was
to close the apparent breach in the
ranks of the republican party in Iowa,
and no one man could do more toward
this end in Story county, and especial
ly Nevada, than Captain Hull.

johnson and Iowa Counties Spectators
in Big Judicial Fight.

Special to 1ines- Republican.
Iowa City, Oct. 81. johnson and
Iowa county voters are spectators in
one of the most sensational judicial
fights in the history of the Eighth ju-
dicial district Hon. o. A. Byington,
has held his present position for the
past four years and has been nomin-
ated by the democrats for his second
term. Major Ralph P. Howell, form
erly Captains of Company of this city.
has been nominated by the republicans
against him and Milton Remley, ex-
attorney general of the state. who was
defeated by Byington four years ago,
has turned all of the batteries of the
Citizen against the present judge. In
a recent issue of the Citizen, Remley
shows that SIS per cent of the cases
from the Eighth judicial district car
ried before the supreme court on ap-
peal have been reversed and from this
fact Remley asks for Byington's de-
feat. The democrats declare that
Howell has not been engaged in active
practice since leaving the law school
but has been running the collection
department of a local jewelry firm.
Victory is claimed by both sides.

Keep the Money at Home

The buggy peddlers have invaded
the Palouse country in force and

quality of the wares offered by these
transient dealers, but it is a safe
wager that better values, backed by
responsible guarantees, can be Sc
cured from any of the implement
and machinery houses throughout
the county. II is poor practice to
buy vehicles or goods and wares
where none of the money paid will
remain to help developc the country |
