MAY RALk RELAY RACE
ottumwa Trying to Get Another Date
After Arrangements Are Made.

OttunWa Trying to Get Announcer Lave
After Arrangements Are Made.
Because the boys of the OttumWa
Y. NJ c. A. can not get excused from
school on Friday, Sept. 1S, the date
fixed for the boys relay race, Ottuin-
wa association may balk the plans OF
the local and Oskaloosa associations
for the relay road race, scheduled TO
be run on the 18th prox from Ottum-
wa to this city. The Courier of Thurs
day evening says of the plan:
What would have been one of the
leading features Of Y. M. c. A. work
this winter but which from present APP
pearance can not be carried out is the
boys relay run to be made between
here and Marshalltown and planned
by Ed Hunting; local boys secretary
A misunderstanding as to the date of
the event is responsible in the main
for the above.
Dawson, the physical director at the
Marshalltown Y. M. G. A. was to
carry thru the Marshalltown part OF
the race and had advertised as the
date OF the run Friday. Sept. Is. Hunt
ing was expecting all along that the
event would take place the 18th as
the BOYS could then take part without
any conflict with their school work, al
tho no agreement had been definitely
made about it. Hunting. upon finding
out that Dawson had made arrange
ments for Friday immediately went to
A. W. stuart, superintendent OF the To-
cal schools and asked that boys partici-
batting in the ruin be excused on Friday
which Mr.. Stuart refused to do. AS 1T
now stands 1t seems as if the relay
would fall thru, but nevertheless Mr.
Hunting is communicating with other
associations in the state, endeavoring
to work up another run and has plans
in view to pull off another event longer
and taking in more and larger assoc
Citations than the other"

avoided without making the enlarged
district too small to support a first
class modern school, the rural com.
munities will soon be ready for the
change.
The present rural district having an
area of four square miles with dis
lance limit of two miles, is a crude,
imperfect thing, which ought neverlto
have been adopted. 1t causes Iowa
children each year eight million miles
useless travel, besides imposing bur-
den OF tax upon the remote patrons
without giving an equal share of bene-
fits. Such a system should be abolished
There is scientific system which
meets every need, and overcomes every
objection that has been made to con.
solidation of!schools.
This would save nearly half the
expense Of our rural schools, without
requiring any pupil to go more than
two miles. This change could be made
without expense, and the saving OF
twelve hundred dollars in each town.
ship would go far towards the support
of a high school. Thus the ideal prin.
ciple saves in small districts.
The law must provide simply that
each patron belongs to the nearest
school, regardless of township and
county lines. The district ID large
enough. The distance is not too great.
Transportation wherever necessary is
an easy problem. Every rural pupil
will have educational opportunities
equal to his village compeer, with far
better conditions for the highest cul-
tGre.

NEW RECORD IN RAILROAD BUILDING
Pacific Coast Extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul Reaches
Terry, Mont.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railway has just extended the train
service on its new Pacific Coast extern
sion as far west as Terry, Montana.
Here the new line crosses the Yellow
stone river for the first time. AT
present trains are in operation as far
west as Marmarth, North Dakota, l9l
miles beyond the Missouri River. This
extension carries the new train service
about one hundred miles farther west.
Train service between Aberdeen and
Marmarth is daily, except Sunday. and
between Marmarth and Terry, daily.
The record of the Chicago, Milwau.
kee s. St. Paul Railway, in building its
Pacific Coast extension, has never been
equaled in the matter Of time by any
similar undertaking. Track is now
being laid at the rate of five miles per
day, and the east and west track laying
forces in Montana will soon meet in the
vicinity OF Miles City. 1t is confidently
expected that trains over the new trans
continental line will be operated from
Chicago to Butte, Montana, by Ma,
1908, and to Seattle and Tacoma, Wasi
ington, about one year later.

RURAL SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION
As Explained by State Supt. Riggs
and its Local Application Ac-
cording to Co. Supt. Brown.
U. j. smay in wallace's Farmer.

Rural communities need high schools
and must have them in the near future
The present movement is in that di-
rection and can not be stopped. The
farmer knows that he has a right to
the best in everything, and he will not
be satisfied with less than the best.
Further, he knows that the best is less
expensive in the country than in the
city. Hence he demands that the beside
brought to the rural community. The
scarcity of good teachers for the rural
districts emphasizes the need of larger
and fewer districts, and this argument
is strengthened by the scarcity of
pupils in many districts.
However, it is not the aim of this
paper to argue the need of something
better, but to suggest a system of larg-
er districts that will be most practic-
able and least Objectionable.
The chief objection to the township
central system is the distance. Those
who live five or six miles from the
center regard this objection insuper-
able, and everybody admits that it is a
serious problem. The township is too
big for district; the sub district is too
small; and neither is properly arranged
to save travel. If this objection can be

Mr.. Riggs Plan for Consolidation.


Tuition in the average graded school
of the town is from Sl.00 to Sl.5O per
month. The teachers reports show
that the cost OF tuition in many of the
rural districts of Howard county reach
Sl2 and Sl5 per month, based simply on
teachers salaries. These amounts do
not include general expenses, fuel, etc.
The enormous outlay in proportion
to the attendance, the scarcity of
teachers and the waste of energy where
every teacher must attempt to teach
all grades, has led to the serious con-
sideration of some sort of consolida-
tion.
The accompanying diagram repre-
sents the plan presented by State
Superintendent Riggs at the con-
vention of school officers held in Cres-
co Feb. IA.
-Four typical townships are repre-
sented. The double lines represent
the county lines. Single heavy lines rep
resent the township lines. The circles
represents the school houses abandon
ed. The black dots represents the
school houses retained. This plan

supposes that nine schools two miles
apart are now being maintained in an
ordinary township six miles square.
The diagonal lines cross at the school
houses which may be abandoned, lear,
Ing four and five schools four miles
apart to be maintained in an area ths,
size of an ordinary township, while no.
pupil will be more than two miles from
school. This Is known as the county
system, since subdistrict lines are not
recognized and the county is the school
district. School houses would be lo,.
Gated with reference to the homes and
a child would belong to the nearest
school. A county board would take
the place of the township board.
1t is claimed that this plan would be.
adopted with very little expense and,
that transportation of pupils would non
be necessary. There can ba no question,
that IT IS more economical, and much.
more reasonable than the present plan.

unanimous in favor of it. 1t MAY be.

my, ease OF accomplishment and simr

The other plan mentioned at Tho corr
vention, viz: two or three two roomess
schools in each township OF ordinary size
would be more trouble and expense at
the beginning. Aiterward it would ba
the most economical. Considered from
the standpoint of the best interests of
the school children, it would be tre-
mendously strong. We hope the peo-
pie will consider Carefully both plans.

He thrust the brier pipe into the

waiting for a reply. The seaman
looked after him in open amazement.
That evening he worked on the socket
Of the steel hook, and in two days he
had the job finished. Then he return
