to a minimum.

W d uilulIuuul. - '
Virgil graphically tells how Laocoor
of Troy fought in the coils of two
great serpants ont of the sen, and
died for his boys. And that mythical
story has been used, in all the ages
of history, to typify fatherly devotion.
Has that devotion fallen so low in
the fathers of Iowa, that they can no
longer be-tfusted o properly manage
and support the schools where their
children attend? Is it not true, as
a rule. that no matter how rough or
untutored man may be, he can be
implicitly depended upon to Loyalty
support and help to maintain high
standard for the school in his own
district?
And again we plead for the little
children of Iowa, and protest against
the enactment of law which will
mass THEM in central schools, where
they will be unnecessarily exposed to
diseases SO frequently fatal in child
hood years.
Can not a few chickens be raised
in a coop more successfully than a
larger number? And, is there not
4 grand heroism in the mother hen
1 when she flies into the face of in.
stant death for the protection of her
! little chicks?
!, Has not this motherly instinct, pos
]; sesed by the birds of the air and the
beasts of the fields, been multiplied
t many times by human reason in the
hearts of the mothers of Iowa? ;
Il Can any foster mother, be she eve
Iso wealthy and refined, fill the place
\ Of real mother?
f Is not INFAMOUS a weak and i'm
e perfect word to use in describing
i statute, which for all practical pul
! poses would deprive the mothers o
II Iowa of any voice in the management
of the schools where their childre
g are compelled to spend so much o
g their young lives, and also depriv
!. these mothers of all choice in tn
v selection of the teachers who are t
a instruct and care for their love
e ones?

THE ATTACK uPoN-rHE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

SCHOOLS.
A bill is now pending in both
houses of the legislature, which
should be entitled: IAN act to abol-
ish all of the school laws of Iowa
and substitute in heir stead an au-
tocratic code which will arbitrarily de
prive the people of the state of all
direct supervision or control OF their
public schools
The scheme would line fairly well
with tbe. .governmental theories ef- XII
siassfifty years ago. but You'd be
reflection upon the IRMssia of today,
or even upo..-tffe government which
is being Established by the young
Tarks of Turkey.
The measure proposes 10 place the
teachers and schools of Iowa at the
