SEPARATE SCHOOLS
Will WORK A HARDSHIP

education spoils good field hand.
We un lerstand thoroughly this bill
is not n andatory in requiring separ-
ate schoo Is, but if Metz does not mean
to pile ne statutes up with dead
laws, he expects its provisions to be
used, an that outcome is what We
fear.
AS ta payers, We have just COM
plants n the schools as they now
are. w should not be barred from
teaching in them upon the showing of
rotnp5te icy, but 1t is better far that
the few who could be teachers be de-
prived II opportunity than that the
whole r ce should suffer We should
be spar ID the occasional indignities
which mall minded white teachers
put upo us.
For il stance. We state upon the au-
thority II the pupil himself, that Mr..
Smiley, principal of the High School
of this ,ity, undertook TO lecture him
upon tn Improperly II colored child
ren goi ig to Denver schools. The
separat schools of the South, he
said. ere their proper places, and
apparer tly regretted his inability to
bar the from the schools. We have
heard II Mr.. Smiley's littleness be-
fore, ar / 1t certainly takes gall TO tell
he sol of a taxpayer, even If he is
colored that he is not wanted IN the
schools parents help maintain. No
wonder colored children get discour'
aged il the High School! Yet, with
al ths., we will live to laugh at
Smiley and we will go further md
agree get along with him and all
his kin before we will bear the extra
.xpens of sending our children clear
icross he city to separate schools.
We ,ould enumerate many other
,ryum, nts against the bill but we

xheth it becomes the powerful

Why did they pretend that they

Why is it that pride is such terri.

Verses 34.-Why was the lie of

From Peters remarks, do you con-
clude that the selling of their proper.

Verses 5 Was the death of An.

What good did the punishment of

county, they declared is the only one
OF the ninety-nine that knows any
thing about road making. Here are
the views they expressed in an inter-
view at the conclusion of their trip:
1T would be simply a business
proposition If the farmers of Iowa
would wake up to the fact that it
would be paying investment to have
good roads from their farms to the
nearest market l was surprised TO
see such miserably poor roads in Iowa
Greene county has the only good
roads in the state. 1t pays the
Greene county farmer to have these
good roads. When he starts out 10
make a road he donates the use of
his horses and his time to carry
gravel and distributes it to the best
advantage. When he has a day he
can not work in the field he takes his
produce to town. He watches the
market and when hogs are worth
eight cents he can deliver his hogs
because of the fact that he has gravel
roads. It is paying proposition in
the long run.
"As a result Of this good road work
IL 1ASOAO SouhIy, Will UlI
1000 population, has seventy automo-
biles. In some of the other counties
the roads are something terrible. The
road from Fort Dodge to Fonda was
very bad. I can not imagine why the
farmers in Iowa do not realize what
1t means to them to have such bad
roads. If 1t is too wet to work in the
fields it is also too wet to ride to
town and the farmer is the loser III
the long run. Iowa needs government
or state instruction in road making.
There should be some sort of agita-
ton started that would put Iowa on 8
par with more progressive states in
highway building"
Other Iowa counties might find it
profitable, while waiting for the gov
eminent or state to awake to the i'm
portance of doing something for the
good roads question, to send their sup
ervisors up to Greene and see how
they do 1t there.
