Waterloo, June 1s.-To investigate
the different agricultural high schools
in Wisconsin and Michigan, with a
view to locating similar institutions In
Iowa, is the mission at present OF
President Storms, Of Iowa State Col
lege, Ames, who passed thru this city.
He came to Waterloo from Charles
City, where he attended the Epworth
league convention, and changing cars
here he continued his journey into
Wisconsin. There he will study the
methods used by several Of the high
schools which have complete agricul-
tural courses in combination with
their regulation studies, and with such
material in hand he hopes to interest
the educators of Iowa to the extent
they will urge a similar movement
which Is already agitated in this state.
Secondary agricultural education is
now used by three high schools in
Wisconsin and two more schools at
similar courses Of instruction. The
studies are taken in combination with
the regular high school work and In
clude such studies as agricultural sub
jects in the minor forms, domestic
economy and manual training.
The question in which the educators
Of the state are most concerned now,
is whether it is better policy to have
separate agricultural high schools or
to have agricultural courses intro
duced into the regular high school
courses turnout the state. There is no
settled policy in this state as yet,
tho the matter was brought to the
attention Of the last general assembly
at Des Moines. Another plan Is to
have short courses held in the differ
ent institutions Of learning, wherever
it is possible to arrange for such in
struction.
President Storms emphatically ex-
pressed his desires Of seeing a short
course held in Waterloo some sum-
mer, next summer II possible. Such
course would be held under the aus
pices of the extension department Of
the state college, and would be very
instructive indeed to all interested
along agricultural lines in this COM
munity. All that is claimed neces-
sary to get the movement started in
Waterloo, is the cooperation Of the
board of trade and the support OF
others interested in order that the ex-
pense of couple Of instructors can
be arranged for. Great results have
heen derived from these short courses
in other cities and Waterloo should
not fail to consider the opportunity
which is presented.

SERIOUS CHARGE MADE
James Triptow, of Deep River,
Taken in Custody at Cedar

Cedar Rapids, June 1S.-James Trip
tow, wanted by the Deep River au-
thorities for a heinous crime, Is I'M
der arrest here. Giving his name as
James Smith, he tried several times
to dispose Of team on the street. The
police were notified, as he seemed to
be willing to sell the horses for great
deal less than they were actually
worth When the night force came on
in the evening they were instructed to
arrest and bring him to the station.
Officers Christensen and Powers found
the fellow, but he was drunk. When
found in his possession which would
indicate that he was either the princi-
pal or was in some way connected
with an assault upon a young girl
named Grace Hanshit at Deep River.
But he was so drunk that 1t was the
next thing to impossible to get any
thing Of any consequence out OF him
except that his name was Jim TriptoW.
He has several letters from his rela-
tives in which he was told to lie low
and that the other fellows were cap
tured. These letters were unsigned and
except that they were addressed to
Dear Brother" there was no way OF
telling what relationship the writer was
to him. One letter was signed by the
name Of Harry Lewis, Thornburg, and
this also told him to lie low as the
officers were after him and that, the
other boys, had been arrested. It also
stated that they had waived the pre-
liminary hearing and had been held to
await the action of the grand jury
A telephone message was later re-
ceived from Deep River, which stated
that this fellow, whose right name is
James Triptow. was really one Of three
who assaulted Miss Hanshit in the
early part OF the month. The officers
of Deep River had arrested the other
two. It was thought that the team he
had in his possession was really his
own property and that he intended
selling it in order to get sufficient
money to get out Of the country

1t is probable that the next legisla-

work which was started by the last
legislature The last legislature pro-
vided an assistant with salary to
work under State Librarian Johnston
Brigham, and considerable work has
been done since that session of the leg
islature in the way of preparing for
the next session. The state library has
always been of great assistance to the
members of the legislature in times
past in the way of furnishing material
and in looking up information.
To do the work thoroughly and sat
isfactorily requires force of clerks
during the session OF the legislature.
Many states make adequate approprl-
ations for such work, and while the
legislature is in session force or
clerks is busy looking up information
for the members relating to laws, and
even write the laws which the members
introduce. 1t has been claimed that,
the work of writing the letters for the
members of the legislature and keeping
the minutes of the committee meetings
could be done by half as many stem
ographers as the legislature now regu-
larly engages, and the saving from that
source alone would be ample for car
rying on this legislative reference
work.
