TWO HIGH SCHOOL.
STUDENTS FINED.
PAIR DID TOO MUCH cELEBRAT
ING in AGENCY AND WERE
PLACED UNDER ARREST.

AS q result Of too much celebrating,
two members of the 1911 class OF the
Ottumwa High school, were arrested
at Agency last night and fined for mr.
ing revolvers in the corporate limits
of the city. The members Of the 1911
class went on a hay rack ride to
Agency last night and it was the oc-
casion OF much jollity. Two of the
members Of the class brought revolt
vers along with them and after getting
inside the corporate limits Of Agency
thought they would awaken the inhab-
itants by discharging the revolvers.
The firing OF shots in the stu OF
night, caused great excitement and the
two Offenders were placed under arrest
by Marshal Cowger. They were taken
before Justice Of the Peace Nye and
fined 81 each. One Of the offenders
gave his name as Smith and 1t Is be-
lieved that both gave fictitious names.
In passing sentence upon them, Justice
Nye stated that he lid not want y be
too hard on them, but that If the prac :
tice continued they would receive
heavier fines. The arrest Of the two
class members did not stop the fun OF
the party and 1t was the wee small
hours Of the morning before the class
returned from their sexciting ride to
the eighboring city. The 1912 and
1918 classes also had 'hayrack partles
last night.

Thus far but one case is fled with Miss

strange one in that the plaintiff wishes

OBSERVATIONS AND cokCLU-
sIoNs REGARDING STATE IN
STlTUTloNs GIVEN TO COVER
1 NOR AND LEGISLATURE.
NECESSITY OF NEW
BUILDINGS URGED
BOARD ALSO SPEAKS OF PLANS
TO MINIMIZE IMPLICATIONS OF
WORK in THE DIFFERENT IN
srIruTIoNs.

Des Moines, Oct. 1.-The new board
of education has filed in the Office OF
the governor its first biennial report to
the governor and the legislature. The
law which called this board into being
makes it the duty of the board to re-
port to the governor and legislature
both it's observations and conclusions
respecting each and every one OF the
institutions named, towit: the State
University, the State College Of Agri-
cultural and Mechanic Arts and the
State Teachers College" A careful
reading of the report will show that
this provision has been conscientiOnsly
complied with. The report starts out
with an outline Of the boards policy in
general. 1t says:
TT was evidently the intention Of
the legislature that the three state in
situations governed by the board should
be coordinate parts Of the general ed
vocational system of Iowa 1t was mani
testify the first duty OF the board to be-
come thoroughly acquainted with the
institutions thus placed under its con-
troll; and not little time has been
given the members, both individually
and collectively, during the past year,
to a study of these institutions and Of
current educational problems. Expert
advice has now and then been sought
from the outside, and this policy will
be continued.
The board holds to this general
principle that 1t is governing rather
than an administrative body. As a gov
erning body its duty is to keep a sense
of prtDortion among the three inStttu-
tons intrusted to its care and to CO.
ordinate their activities. So far, the
board has had time to do little more
than study the problem. 1t undertook
this work with an open mind and with
out prediction toward any one form
of organization. 1t assumes, however,
that there is a best way to deal with
all questions, and that this way may
be found by scientific analysis Of data
sifted and made ready for its judg-
ment through the assistance of compe-
tent executive and experts.

To Reduce Implications.

+
There can be no effective organiza-
ton without structure and definite
plan. It is too early to expect such
structure and plan to be completely
formulated. 1t may be said, however,
that the board also aims at economy in
education as In business, and to make
the various departments of our educa.
tional system meet the needs Of the
people of Iowa.
''It has been and shall continue to
be the purpose Of this board as far as
possible to put an end to rivalry and
reduce Implications to minimum. Nee
esarily work along these lines must be
we'll considered and too rapid progress
must not be expected. 1t was natural
that there should be Implications Of
work under the old system, and it will
not be possible to do away entirely
with these Implications even after the
lapse Of some years, but the board feels
confident that they can be and will be
reduced to minimum"
AS an example OF how this latter pur-
pose may be ACCOMPLISHED, it is pointed
out that the two schools of engineer
ing-one at Ames and the other at
Iowa City, may in time be so co-ordin-
.ated that one shall do the undergrad
uate work in engineering and the other
the graduate work; and that the State
Teachers college and the University
School OF Education may be similarly
fco-ordinated.

The Mlllase Tax.


9 Touching the millage tax the report
says that Some months ago the board
ordered careful investigation for the
purpose OF deciding whether or not
the legislature should be asked to con.
tinue what is known as the millage
tax, the proceeds Of which have been
used for the erection of buildings at
the several institutions. AS result of
this investigation, 1t was unanimously
decided to ask for continuance of
this tax for an additional five-year per-
old" A strong argument is made in
support OF this proposition. It is shown
that the institutions as they are now
known to the people Of the state, so
Tar as their physical being Is con-
cerned, have been literally created out
DC the proceeds OF this fund; also that
