Special to Times-Republican
Garwin, Jan. PA mass meeting of
the electors of the rural school districts
of Carlton township, Tama county, was
held in the town hall at Garwin. The
meeting was addressed by Fetter Hall,
who explained in detail the report of
the educational commission appointed
by the thirty-second general assembly,

p. Fitzgerald The following petition
was signed by 14s voters of Carlton

To the honorable The legislature Of
the state Of Iowa:
The undersigned citizens Of the
.stase of Iowa, and residing mostly in
Tama county, Iowa, hereby respectfully
petition your honorable body to not
make any radical changes in the pres
ent school laws of the state, and we
would deem it especially objectionable,
and therefore hereby enter our protest
against the proposed change In the
law which would place the management
of the rural schools in the hands of a
county board, and provided for the
election of county superintendent of
schools and for the employment of
teachers by such county board; and for
the payrn emit of school funds by a. coun-
ty treasurer; and we further protest
against any further restrictions in the
teachers certificate requirements.
"This petition is respectfully asked
and this protest is made solely in
what we believe to be the best inter-
est of our schools"
This was most enthusiastic meet
ing. Arrangements are being made to
hold other meetings.

actually would take place, the cost OF
the proposed schools should not cause
a moments hesitancy. And the educa-
ton of the children would be like the
cake of yeast that leavens the bread.
With a better system of agricultural
education we shall have all the bless
ings that follow in its train, better
farm homes, less of the old fashioned
drudgery, better roads, parcels post,
conservation of our resources, and less
poverty and narroWness of life.
Hays on Iowa Product.
An added interest in Professor Hays
lies in the fact that he is an Iowa pro-
duct; be was born something more than
forty years ago in the state where they
raise folks as we'll as corn and cows
and hogs. His birth place was five miles
south of Eldora on a farm. He was a
farm boy, school teacher, graduate stu
dent of the Iowa College at Ames, edi-
torial writer for agricultural weeklies,
and professor of agriculture in Mime
sofa and North Dakota. In Minnesota
his signal success was scored in the
breeding Of wheat and other farm
crops His work in the department of
agriculture has been equally strong and
has more recently added strength to
the superb work of that department
under Secretary James Wilson, of
whom he would make when the time
comes worthy successor. He has had
the same training, actual farm ex-
perience, editorial work, agricultural
college work, and a .singularly wide and
diversified experience with men in city
and country. He has the robust quail
tiles of body, intellect and character
which will fit him for many years OF
usefulness

| Des Moines, Jan. 27.-Under shelter
of the Iowa laws relating to quaran-
| tine Iowa people are in the habit of
forcing the cities and towns to sup
port them while feigning illness from
contagious diseases. Families with
sore throat have sought and secured
quarantine for diphtheria and have
compelled doctors to order quarantine.
This is the startling accusation which
forms the basis Of q series of petitions
pouring in upon the legislature from
various cities and towns demanding a
change in the quarantine laws. The
only by the board of health, acting as
a board, or the mayor upon the advice
of the health officer: that persons
quarantined be furnished with food and
fuel only under direction of the
board or its agent and be made a
matter Of record: that physicians and
medicine be provided at public expense
only when the families are too poor to
pay for same. There is also demand
for change in the law as to disin-
lection.
The seriousness of the situation is
set forth in petition adopted by the
town council OF Mount Pleasant and
signed by Mayor Dugdale in which it is
stated that
For Mount Pleasant alone the quar-
antine expenses for the period of Sept.
Is to Dec. T. We're over $1,000
Certain families sought and secured
quarantine improperly that they might
live at the city's expense.
Abuses have been found in the quar-
antine Of persons alleged to have
diphtheria, but who this board is in
formed had only sore throat
Physicians against their will have
been forced to make unnecessary visits
and incur unnecessary expense by fam
lilies who desired to impose upon the
community at large, and have been
helpless to prevent 1t. They have been
subjected to threats Of withdrawal Of
patronage from certain families If they
did not quarantine, or otherwise ac-
cede to the demands of said families
and have been subjected to tempta-
ton and pressure to which they should
not be subjected
In the attempt to regulate and limit
expense, worthy families have been
subjected to annoyance and injustice
has resulted to the physicians them
selves, and the medical profession here
insists with this board upon radical
changes of existing laws.
The abllses and imDoSitionS have be-
come SO rank as to no longer be bear
able and this body demands some
proper relief therefrom.
