Putting Belts on PuIleys.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
l notice in The Gate City the sad
accident to w. w. O'Blenness at the
cereal plant, which was SO disastrous
to him and which aould have been
avoided so easily. The putting of
belts on pulleys when in motion is
very simple to one who knows how to
do it, and yet very dangerous to one
who does not, as this accident proves.
Putting belt on a pulley in motion
can be done in this manner: Have
strap or short piece of rope, not too
thick, and put it around the belt, on
the upper part, near the pulley, hold
ing on to the two ends. Then staad
little back of the pulley on the oppo-
site side and pull the rope or strap
diagonally across the face of the pull
ley, and the belt will jump onto the
pulley SO quick he will hardly have
time to release one end of the rope or
strap and pull it Off This is SO simple
and easily done, it should be posted
in every plant.
Yours truly,
, JOS. REEFS.

as effected by differences in moral re
sponsibility. While he considered cor
poral punishment as last resort he
still thought it better than expulsion
The popular meeting of the conven
ton was held Tuesday evening, the
address being delivered by Senator
Beveridge. The senator's address
made strong plea for the teaching
of patriotism in the schools.
The Wednesday morning session
was given up to the question of how
much choice shall be given parents in
regard to the courses the children
shall pursue. The sentiment of the
convention was in favor of giving suf-
ficient range to meet the indiyiduali-
ties of the pupil but not to allow i'll
advised courses of work.
One of the principal ideas brought
out in the convention went to show
that there was a large majority OF
superintendent present who were
coming to believe that departmental
work in the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades was beneficial, ia that it gav,i
the teacher an opportunity to perfect
herself in special line of work, thus
inspiring the pupils to stronger work
In fact, the convention marks Il
complete revolution from the old idea
of conducting schools; that which
made the child conform to every pet
ty rule and undertaking regulation OF
the schools.

This III short was the theme of the
great convention of school superin-

lasted practically five days.
The vital question which these emf

Russell Sage Foundation, gave the re-
suits of a very extended investigation
covering some years, which he has
been making with regard to the rea.
sons why pupils are to be found in
the grades. who are older than the
proper age Of that stage Of advance
ment. In the course of his investiga-
tion he finds good many elements
entering into the proposition. One
large factor being irregularity OF at
tendance phyical defects. sickness
and variation In mental capacities Of
children.
It was found that many of these
physical defects We're closely allied
with apparent mental defects. Also
the removal of the physical defects
to a large extent eliminated the mem
tai ones. Saaitar.r school buildings,
and pure air enter into the large ele-
ment to be considered in the effort
to remove the difficulties as to de
fects.
This illustrates, according to Profes.
sor Avres, the great responsibility
resting upon school officers in fur
nishing the right surroundings il they
are going to enforce the attendance Of

Journal does about the matter, but
the good service given by his COM
pany in years past between Keokuk
and Quincy is responsible for the
wonderful growth of the Blair lines
trade, which now extends by easy re-
lays from Davenport to Quincy, be-
sides one boat being used for excur-
sion purposes almost exclusively. The
writer has often heard Captain Blair
say that the old steamer Silver Ores
cent, now the rebuilt Black Hawk of
this same packet line, never lost a
life or had serious accident and she
built up a profitable trade between
Keokuk and Quincy"
The secret of Captain Blair's sue
cess has been to operate a light-draft
packet boat on schedules that have
been popular with shipper and pas.
senger alike.
Why the genial captain now wishes
to endanger his prestige at the zenith
OF his success as a twentieth century
steamboat man, is more than we, at
this end of the river, can understand.
While the captain may see the
gross earnings of the Keokuk total up
larger by extending the running dis
trict of the packet forty miles, the
patronage of the boat from Keokuk to
Quincy is bound to fall off, or at least
not keep up with the former records
What has made the Blair line popular
is the short. quick service.

Des Moines is Hiah.

The first rise of the Des Moines was
noted yesterday, when the river took
jump at Ottumwa to 1914 feet and
the banks are being overflowed. AT
Belfast, big block in the river is
reported, but this is surely removed,
as the mouth Of the river is full of
floating cakes of ice and the stream
continues to rise rapidly.
For this early in the season, the
rise is remarkable, although two
weeks hence would have been the
time for the annual spring floods and
the waters of the Mississippi, the Des
Moines and their tributaries would
have been bank full, but the rise this
season is little previous to the usual
records.

No Damage.

Up to the present time, no damage
has been reported from the recent rise
and opening of the rivers. A continued
rise is promised from this city on
down, however, which will increase as
the smaller streams open, both above
and below Keokuk.
The ice which had been caught on
the Illinois shore of the river here is
floating freely today, having been
loosened by the rising of the waters
since Saturday. The large and COM
pact mass of ice which had formed
above the piers of the Keokuk and
Hamilton bridge has been looseaed
and is floating out into the channel.

Quincy Journal: A report has
reached Quincy from upriver steam
boat circles concerning the opening
schedule for the local packet, Keokuk
of the Carnival City packet line
which the Journal hopes-for the flu
ture prosperity of Captain Blair's
modern packet line, as we'll as the pa
irons of that line between Keokuk
and Quincy-is incorrect.
The report says: The steamer
Keokuk will operate between Bur
lington and Quincy in tri-weekly SER

last month of the locai packet season
last year, Captain Blair saw fit to
