Marshalltown, at the present time, or
since last October, has made a gain OF
ESQ in enrolment.
-
The big difference in the two cities,
however, is the cost of maintenance OF
each pupile enrolled. In this respect
Oskaloosa is an even $40 under Mar
shaltown, and only pays $40 per pupil,
as against Marshalltown's $29. With
out any explanation 1t would appear
as tho there might be something wrong
with Marshalltown but such is not the
case. Marshalltown affords FOR hef
school children many advantages that
Oskaloosa does not have. In the nrsl
place Marshalltown has free text BOOKS
which, from Feb. 1, 1905, until rep. L.
1906. cost the district $1,424 for addl-
tional and increased supplies, TO say
nothing of the original investment. os-
kaloosa has no free text books. rms
item alone means an increased cost
to the district Again, the average pay
to the teachers in Marshalltown is
s54.27. or within s1.O3 of the average
price paid in the entire sixteen cities,
while Gskaloosa's average pay to her
ledcuGTS Is Only NfJ.tu. L Ills ea'''S '''@>>''
an increased cost for Marshalltown
over Oskaloosa. Taking everything
then. into consideration, Marshalltown,
while it may be paying more to edu-
cate her children, is giving them the
best money can buy. The people are
not satisfied, and would rather pay
a little more for an important matter
like educating the young than to speha
il in some other line where the lasting
effects are not forthcoming.

Just three years ago this time Mar
shalltown was beginning on long
siege of typhoid fever. New cases were
appearing every day, and the disease
had already got sufficient foothold
so that deaths were beginning to result.
An Improvement of the water system,
in the building of the new reservoir,
and the fact that the city now mas
pure supply. free from contamination
is better appreciated when the contrast
between conditions now and three
years ago is drawn.

The efforts of Councilman John Sieis,
of the Second ward. to obtain the
ChalrmanSllp OF lIie WdtSi WI HS SS'A'
mittee at the election at the reorgar-
ization meeting of the city council
Monday night, are somewhat amusing
Ito members of the council. Members or
the council think it strange that Mr.
Sieg wants the chairmaiship of the
most important committee of the coun-
ell. in view of the fact that he is a
plaintiff against the city in an action
that would, If decided in his favor,
work detrimentally to the water sys-
tenn of the city. The most important
work. in all likelihood, that the water
works committee will have to look
after during the coming year, Will he
the maintenance of the Center street
dam. which the city holds must be pre-
served If the water supply IS
to be kept at it's present standard.
Some of the members of the council
feel that it would be asking too much
of Mr.. Sieg. as long as he is SO anx-
ious to have the dam removed, to put
him in charge of the committee that
would be compelled to fight an action
that he is assisting in bringing.

LOCAL COMMENT

The report of school statistics, COM
piled in the office of State Superintend-
ent Riggs, shows some interesting fig
ures in the way of comparisons, and
demonstrates forcibly the fact that
good schools, and the numerous advan-
tages to the patrons and school child
rem, are expensive to maintain. In a
group of sixteen Iowa cities, ranging
in size from East and West Des
Moines, down to towns of the size of
Centerville and Creston, a comparison
is made of the population according to
the 1905 census. the number of child
rem of school age, children enrolled in
the schools, assessments and tax rates.
the cost to each person, and the cost
for each pupil enrolled. The causes
for the higher cost in some of the cities,
including Marshalltown, are not CIV
en-, however, and only study of local
conditions can enlighten a reader as to
why one town of about the same size
should be paying more to educate her
children than another.
y
Marshalltowns population, according
To the state census of 1905, was 1900,
and last rail- lQe CIllluISIl VI SSIoOl ea6S
numbered 1921, with 1884 enrolled. The
assessment was s1,s13,595, yielding in
school tax $1,000. The cost for each
pupil enrolled was s29, which is the
largest amount, with one exception
that of West Des Moines, in the entire
LIST of sixteen cities. One of the more
noticeable comparisons in the cost OF
educating each pupil can be made with
Oskaloosa, which is generally classeo
as a city of about the same size as
Marshalltown, even tho the census ng-
ures show almost 1000 less population.
The school census shows less difference
in the children of school age in t'e 80
cities. as Oskaloosa is credited with
3O1S as against Marshalltown's 3,l2l.
Despite the fact that the number OF
children is about the same, Marshall
town has much larger percentage en-
rolled in school, and last fall had &C
counted for 1884 of her children OF
school age, as against Oskaloosa's l,93o.

LUNCH COSTS MORSE $500
Gave Roll of Money to His Bride to
Pay the Bill, and She Knows Not
What Became of IL.

From st. Louis comes story to
the effect that the recent stay there
of CLYDE w. Morse. formerly of this
city, who is now living in Chicago
was an expensive one for Mr.. Morse,
and cost him $500 for single lunch.
Soon after Mr.. Morse and Miss Norma
lThurston were married they visited a
restaurant to get lunch in company
with a party of friends. 1t Is said MI.
Morse suggested to his bride that ~
was about time she was treating
and tossed roll Of bills satd to con-
tain $500 to her. Later ne asked ms
wife about the money, and found that
she did not recall what had become OF
it. A search was made, but the miss
ing money was not found. The police
were called in to aid in the search. but
their assistance proved to be OF no
avail

Base Ball Directors Refuse to Accept
Him at His Terms.
"Teddy" Greene, of the local pitching
staff, still stays outside the base ball
fold. He has refused to sign the con-
tract furnished him with cut in SAL
airy corresponding with those OF the
other players Instead he is willing
to sign a contract with the reserve
clause eliminated, which provides that
the local association pays all of his
expenses during the season. This con-
tract has been returned to him, with
the notice that he will play ball at the
directors terms, or he will not play
league ball at all this summer. 1t is the
belief that he will eventually sign, but
the directors feel he is not nearly so
desirable now as he would have been
had he not "balked" so much about
signing. They feel that there is
likelihood of his laying down" to the
expense Of the local club, in case he
does sign, so that he might secure his
release.
