Des Moines, Oct. 15.-Shall the Iowa
State College OF Agriculture at Ames
have a summer school? is a question
that is being agltated by alumni and
friends Of the institution. The legisla T.
ture has made appropriations for sum-
mer schools at both the State Univer-
sity and State Normal School and tho
proposition is advanced that summer
school could as protitibly be started at
the agricultural college and that the
work would in no way parallel the
work of the other schools. A big argu-
ment in its favor is the fact that with
ment runni. into the millions, the
state should not allow the investment
to stand idle three months in the year.
The interest of the professors has been
solicited and some have agreed TO Civ
the extra work without addition COM
pensation-
In letter to a friend answering an
inquiry on the subject ex-State Super
intendent r. c. Barrett has discussed
the matter somewhat and he favors
the idea His letter in part is as fol-
lows:
Full utilization of public school
plant Is question worthy the mos
careful consideration of every citizen.
No business man would make SO little
use of an Industrial plant as the state
now makes of the state college of agri'
culture and mechanic arts No pro-
ductive industry could be successfully
carried on with SO incomplete use of
an expensive plant.
Some years ago President Eliot
said Public education ought to b..
the most productive of all industries
and its plant should be more fully used
than any other"
Whatever may be the policy outln-
ed by the trustees of the state college
of agriculture and mechanic arts. / am
thoroughly in accord with the idea ex-
pressed by President Eliot and believe
that we must make greater use of ou5
great educational plants; and that it +
wasteful expenditure of money t,
have these great institutions practical
ly idle for three months of the year.
PERHAPS the most remarkable devel
opnlent of the summer school idea II.
America, Is that OF the fourth quarter
established within the last few years
at the University Of Chicago. At this
institution work along educational
lines Is carried forward turnout the year
like any other business. The professors
arrange TO take their vacations in the
/ winter or spring; thus affording them
| to some extent, the recreation that ev-
cry professional man should have.
| "As to what course of study should
be in summer school maintained at
| the, state college of agriculture and
| mechanic arts, Is a detail that so far as
am now aware has never been dis
crssed by the management of the in
.stitution.
when the matter is finally settled
! should not be surprised to learn that
the work outlined for summer ses-
sion would not parallel courses offered
at other Institutions"

70 AVOID EMPTY HOUSES.

There is a cure for the empty house
evil in every city and it is not the
open gambling policy nor the wide
open town, either.
Residents who are attracted to a
town by these are not always desira-
Bile. They add little to the wealth OF
prosperity Of the community and
leave on the slightest provocatton.
So that cure for the empty house
evil is not reliable.
Put the certain and reliable cure
which is within reach of every town

TO A wATEFs FOWL.

WHITTIER midst falling dew,
While glow the heavens With the last
steps of day,
Far, through their rosy depths, dost
thou pursue
Thy solitary way?
Vainly the fowlers eye
Might mark thy distant flight to do
thee wrong,
As. darkly painted on the crimson sky,
Thy figure floats along.
Seek'st thou the plashy brink
OF weedy lake, or marge of river wide,
Or where the rocking pillows rise and
sink
on the chafed ocean side?
There Is a Power whose care
Teaches thy way along that painless
coast,
The desert and illlmitable air
Lone wandering, but not lost.
Nsv;
All day thy wings have famed,
At that far height, the cold thin at
mosphere,
Yet stoop not, weary, to the welcome
land,
Though the dark night is near.
And soon that toll shall end;
Soon shalt thou find a summer home,
and rest,
And scream among thy fellows; reeds
shall bend,
Soon. DER thy sheltered nest.
Thou art gone, the abyss of heaven
Hath swallowed up thy form; yet, on
my heart
Deeply hath sunk the lesson thou
hast given,
And shall not soon depart.
He who, from zone TO zone,
Guides through the boundless sky thy
certain flight,
In the long way that l must tread
alone
Will lead my steps Alright.

THE BOY AND THE SPARROW

Once a wee boy sat and swung on
limb;
On the ground stood a sparrow bird,
looking at him.
Now the boy he was good, but the
sparrow was bad,
So It shled a big stone at the head Of
the lad,
And 1t killed the poor boy; and the
sparrow was glad.
Then the little boys mother flew over
the trees,
"Tell me, where Is my little boy, SPAR
row-bird, please?"
"He is safe in my pocket" the SPAR
row-bird said;
And another stone SHE'D at the fond
mothers head,
And she fell at the foot Of the wicked
bird, dead.
You imagine, no doubt, that the tale
have mixed;
! But 1t wasn't by me that the story
was fixed.

And he dreamed 1t so loud that

THE CURSE OF THE EXTREMES

Two illustrious examples of munic-
ipal corruption are before the coun.
try-Philadelphia and San Francisco.
In Philadelphia the corruptionists
are prominent citizens. capitalists,
mlllionaires, captains of industry"
in san Francisco, the corruptionists
are labor leaders, members of labor
unions, dishonest ward heelers hoisted
into power and vile ward politicians
elevated to office by the labor vote.
Here the curse of the extremes is
thrillngly exhibited for the gratifica-
ton of the country. The corrupt mill
ionaire is as bad as the corrupt labor
unionist and vice versa. When either
class goes into politics with corrupt
purposes and debased ideals, both
classes are capable of wrecking gov
ernmant and besmirching the fame of
city or state.
San Francisco under the regime of
Schmit7 and Ruef is no worse than
Philadelphia under the rule of Pen
rose. Weaver and their coterie of po-
litical vampires.
Judging from these two examples
coming from the two extremes of po-
litical activity, it would seem that the
SAFE and substantial government is
composed of men of moderate views.
men not wholly the creatures of any
class or party.
It is dangerous for any party to have
such power that its success is not
questioned. It is dangerous for la
Dor class to control without fear of
successful rivalry, the destinies of a
city or state and it is just as dangerous
for the capitalist class to feel secure
in its thieving policies.
A balance of power. a regulation of
the extremes should always be main
tained by the thinking. moderate men
of the community.
