The Des Moines Tribune says:
Whatever happens to Cook, no

To this the Cedar Rapids Repub-

But that Is really nothing new about
the Pearys, they have been egotistical
and selfish and not very considerable Of
others, not even of the native Eski-
mos who have most helped them. But,
as a matter OF fact, nothing will hap

he will make good that claim.

battle ground where 1900 Germans were
killed or wounded. The affair had been

CURRICULUM
RAISED IN |. !. &C.
THIS INSTITUTION NOW RANKS WITH THE
BEST COLLEGES OF THE UNITED
STATES.
SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIAL

The curriculum Of the colelgi-
ate department of the Indus
trial Institute and College has
been raised to the regular college
standard erected by the best col
leges of the country. President
Whitfield thinks that the high
schools of the state have adj
vanced to that degree of eff
cheney as to make this step
practicable.
Hereafter fourteen hours of
high school work will be re-
quired of all students a week,
who pursue college work.
For awhile students will be
admitted who are deficient in not
more than four hours preparato-
ry work; but this deficiency must
be made up by the student inde-
pendently of the college work.
The same number of hours of
college work will be required as
is required for similar degrees at
Cornell, Columbia, Michigan,
Wisconsin and the best state uni
versities and colleges of the
country.
The completion of this course
will permit the students of the l.
l. and G. to admission into the
postgraduate course of the great
universities of the country with
out having to take extra work.
A new course, the scientific
industrial, will be offered for
those students wishing to pursue
household economics and kindred
industrials in a scientific way.
This course is designed to meet
the needs of the high schools of
the state. Industries are now
recognized as essentials in up-to-
date systems of public schools,
and the great need of the schools
of the state today is competent
teachers in these subjects.
Music next year will be given
credit to the extent of ten hours
in the college course.
The normal course has been re-
arranged and strengthened.
The short industrial courses
will be retained, but there will
be no connection between them
and the college work, and in no
sense will they be preparatory to
the college.

Mrs. Blanche A. Eddins passed
peacefully away at her home in
West Point on last Wednesday
after a lingering illness with
diabetes.
The remains were brought to
Columbus Thursday and the
funeral was held from the resi-
dence of H. C. Warield on south
7th street at 4:3O O'Clock con-
Quoted by Rev. Dakin of st.
Paul's church. Mrs. Eddins was
a consistent member of the Meth
odist church and was always
ready to contribute both time and
money to the church. She was a
devoted wife and mother and her
sweet life both in example and
precept is worthy of emulation.
Besides a heart broken husband,
she leaves several children who
mourn for her. They are Mrs.
Bland of Texas, Mrs. Warfeld of
Columbus, Mr.. Joe Eddins of
Rosedale, Mrs. Littleton, of
Nashville, Tenn, Mrs. CASTOR,
of Columbus, and Miss Frances
Eddins, of West Point, all of
whom have deepest sympathy
from the Commercial, as well as
a wide circle of friends in Co.
lumbus and throughout the state.
The interment took place in
Friendship cemetery. The fol-
lowing friends acted as pail
bearers, Messrs. Blanche Weav-
er, E. S. Donnell, Hunter Sharp,
George Curtis, II. B. Mattox,
and NJ. C. Vandiver.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
AT COLLEGE
SERVICES HELD AT THE INDUSTRIAL IN
STITUTE AND GOLLE6E ON LAST
THURSDAY MORNING
IN MEMORY OF GALLOWAY

Memorial exercises were held
in the college chapel on Thurs
day morning in memory of the
late Bishop Galloway.
After a few appropriate re-
marks by Mr.. Whitfield, Miss
Orr gave a brief sketch Of the
life work of this great preacher
and statesman, and closed by
reading Bishop Chandler's beau
tiful tribute to his memory.
Resolutions expressive of the
love and rev erence in which
Bishop Galloway was held by the
faculty and that deep sense of
loss at his death were read and
approved.
These exercises of the collie
were especially appropriate
Bishop Galloway was at one
a trustee of this institution

enthusiast and worker in
cause of education.
