can says In reply to This criticism that
the fact seeing 10 be that the state
has iced requirements upon teach
ers far beyond what should be asked
Of them, wit out providing the means
Of getting the requisite training. In
support Of this contention the Repub-
lican points out that
Iowa has no place under state con
troll where the teachers Of the com
mon schools can be trained. Every
thing Is running to higher education
and graduate work while facilities
for common education are being neg
lected. When the state norma
school now assuming to be regula

But before the second was located

we have an alleged college, and ne

THE COMMON SCHOOL TEACHER

The Burlington Hawk-Eye, in an
article intended to be appreciatiye OF
the good work done by the common
school teacher, says: The teachers
in Iowa are self-respecting and In
teligent body" The Davenport Demo
crat endorses this as true and says it
, is equally certain that they are i'm
posed upon by those who are and as
sumo to be in authority over the
teachers. The Democrat has in mind
the fact that
Lawyers, doctors, business men,
4 and farmers, and in fact all classes,
except one are consulted when 1t
comes to passing laws which directly
concern them But the common
school teachers, of whom there are
many thousands in Iowa, are practical
ily disregarded when laws are to be en-
acted that directly relate to their
calling And if they protest the
teachers are told they are interfering
with what is none of their business.

islature is urged by some who, how
ever honest and earnest, are more
swayed by feeling than may be con-
sistent with calm and practical states
manship to move in the direction OF
statewide prohibition. This subject
was considered by the two leading
parties in the opening stages OF
the last campaign, and the de-
cision was that statewide pro-
hibition should not be included in the
platforms. Both candidates for gov
ernor took ground in favor of local
option. The legislature is composed
Of members of these two parties. They
acted within party lines and stood
upon the respective platforms. AS
far as formal party action can be de-
fined this is the situation in the pres
ent executive and legislative depart
ments in Missouri, and it cannot be
logically changed, nor should 1t be

The Commission Plan.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: The legis.
lature of Iowa has concluded to with
hold from cities of less than $4,000 the
privilege of substituting the commits
sion plan for the old plan of municipal
government. II is just barely possible
that the average city of less than 25,-
600 is fairly familiar with her needs
and wants. Perhaps much more SO
than is the legislature.
It sounds American that the people
of city ought to have the right TO
settle such matters after their own
judgment But the Iowa legislature
| looks at it in different light and per-
haps the cities of over $4,000 are to
feel very grateful that the privilege OF
trying the commission plan has not
been withdrawn.
Some day the cities and towns in
Iowa are going to get together and de.
clare that they have come to the end
of their patience and that they are no
longer going to submit to the dicta-
ton Of the Iowa legislature In all
manner of things which the cities are
best able to decide for themselves.
And at the next election the cities
will be heard from and the legislature
viii be wondering where that rude Jolt
came from.
AS to the commission plan itself il
viii be very well to name it after re.
dar Rapids. The men OF peace, who
love the quiet of evening and the res-.
full days and nights, will be sure 10
vote down anything that savors of
the eternal ruction and racket that
characterizes the Dos Moines plan.
The Cedar Rapids plan would win out
anywhere.
