his team. He did not put up such a bad

MEETING TONIGHT

Everybody interested in bringing
an interurban into Ottumwa should at
tend the meeting in the Commercial
association rooms at 8 o'clock tonight.
All the committees should be present
and citizens who are not members OF
the committee should attend as well.
The committees need advice and co
operation. They have reached the
crucial stage in the Iowa City OttumWa
interurban campaign. Two-thirds OF
the 100000 needed to secure the In
terurban has been raised. The last
third brings the hardest task. There
are many who are able to join this
campaign who have not subscribed.
This is not fair to the men who have,
in many cases at personal sacrifice,
gone down into their pocket to swell
the interurban fund. This is a time
to show patriotism and citizenship. II
Ottumwa is to get this interurban,
something that means more to OF
tumwa and promises more for OF
tumwa's growth and development than
any opportunity of years, the help OF
every citizen is required. Inc inter
urban shares are 500 each, payable IN
three years If the road Is completed.
Not cent will be paid unless the road
is built. At the meeting in the Com
mercial association tonight the matter
will be placed squarely before the
citizens by the interurban boosters VINO
have given their time and money 10
furthering the campaign. The Com
mercial association rooms should be
crowded to the doors.

The outcome of the Browne briberS
trial in Chicago is not cheering.
Browne was declared to have bribed
members of the Illinois legislature by
the confessions Of four selfconfessed
bride takers. He virtually admitted
his guilt when he refused to go on the
witness stand and deny his guilt. Yet
twelve men, in the face Of the con.
fessions of the four men who declared
they had been bribed by Browne to
vote for Lorimer, found Browne not
guilty Of bribery Such verdict az
this shames justice and is blow to
good government. The only ray O!
light in the situation is that the citl
zenship of Illinois has been aroused
to determination to stamp out the
bribers and the jackpotters, and that
1t is certain these criminals will be
found guilty at the bar of public opin'
lon and, II not sent to the penitentiary,
where they belong. at least they will
be retired to private life where they
cannot futher prey on an outraged

IT never believed Elizabeth really

hear of her broken engagement. How
did it happen?"
Aunt Martha Bradner laid down her
embroidery and looked over her
glasses at the girl. You're right,

never loved Jim Martin. They just

thought she was hurt the other day
but it was only wounded pride, and

but it always goes deep enough to
take out the sting
CDR. Martin has felt so sure OF
Elizabeth that he didn't care what he
said or did or left undone, for that
matter. It has been his sins of om1s-
sion that l have resented most for
Elizabeth. He thinks every woman is
in love with him, and I am glad that
everybody in this town knows that she

The Ottumwa baseball management
acted in good faith. They contracted
with the management Of the chicago
team for a game between the Cubs ana
Ottumwa to be played here SeptemDer.
.. The local management was assurea
that the Cubs, and not crowd or nltn
raters. would appear. AS late as
Tuesday of this week President Lynch
received a letter from Owner Murphy
of the Chicago team in which murphy
expressed his pleasure at the great IN

Murphy said Chicago would SEND us

ing and it was not fair to fill the resi-
of the positions with subs and utlnty
men. People came to OttumWa from
all the surrounding country and Ot'
tumwa fans turned out in full to see
the Chicago Cubs play. What they saw
was team made up of seven men OF
championship caliber, or they Woulo

It is not the custom Of Ottumwa 10

about attractions. where everybody
tried to make good. But Ottumwa does
not propose to take the blame in this
matter. The management OF the Chl

made. It was not fair to organized

patronage for its success, for men VINO

TIVE MODEL PUBLIC SCHOOL.

Writing on the subject: what is
Wrong With Our Public Schools" IN
I,iprincott's magazine, JOS eph M Rog-
ers gives some new ideas in advanced
school work. He believes tina. all school
children cannot be run through the
same groove. Personality" he says,
"is a definite creation, but education
can do vast things forsevery individual
ity, and everyone needs special treat
L,ent." Mr.. Rogers SAYS Chicago is the
first city in the United States to recog-
nize this by building My new school
houses at a cost of $1SO,0OO each, every
one equipped with gymnasium, a
swimming pool, a playground and man
ual training and domestic economy out
fits. But he believes that even this falls
short of the requirements and he out
lines what he believes would be a
model city school as follows:
The graded school building would
have large grounds, be of good archi-
lecture and eligibly situated. 1t would
be arranged for classes Of no more
than twenty-five, but each floor, &C
cording to modern construction, would
be capable OF being thrown into a
single room. Artistic and sanitary
conditions would exist everywhere.
There would be plants and pictures,
aquaria and gymnasia, rest-rooms,
work-rooms and q library, with small
laboratories and collections Of miner
ais. woods, etc. There would be sim
pie, scientific apparatus and on each
floor, arrangements for moving pic
lures OF ordinary lanter-slide dis
plays.
The school ought to be the most i'm
posing and the best appointed building
In the community; it should be looked
upon by every citizen as the most i'm
portant place next to his home;" 1t
should be $50 attractive that children
would consider it deprivation to
stay away from it" The following pro-
gram represents, in condensed form
Mr.. Rogers idea Of how day should
be occupied In the model school,
After devotional exercises, the prin-
cipal teachers on each floor would
give brief summary of the important
news Of the day which would be of in
terest and Importance to children &C
cording to their age. The
next hour would be devoted to AGA.
demic work In classrooms, with the
teachers giving the needed help to pu.

would not be expected to sit rigidly in
silence at their desks, neither would
they be allowed to make disturbance.
