COUNTY PLAN
DEMANDS ATTENTION
or ALL EDUCATORS
Senator La Follette's Wife
Champions Idea, and Senator
Deliver Boosts It.

Washington, d. c., Feb. l6,-The
Page county plan Of conducting rural
schools is beginning to attract wide
notice. The department of agriculture
has issued a bulletin in which 1t tells
something of what is being effected
In Page county, and in an article in
the La Toilette Weekly this week Mrs.
La Toilette, the wife of the senator,
tells at length of what is being done
there.
Mrs. La Toilette says that since the
visit of the II state superintendent
OF the south and their party to Page
county. as the best place in the north
to study a progressive school system,
the limelight of public interest and
curiosity has been focused on that
wealthy country.
She speaks of Miss Jessie Field, pres
ent superintendent as a genius. She
describes in detail what is being done
by the Boys club of Page county in
the study of agriculture: by the girls
in the study of domestic science and
agriculture, through scholarship con-
tests which include every pupil in
every county school, and also of the
county map drawing and essay writing
contests.
Mrs. La F'ollette's verdict is that
Page county has the idea that prom
ises soon to leaven the whole lump Of
rural education. 1t is to a large eX-
tent the same idea that %pervades the
measure for the furtherance of rural
education which Senator Dolliver has
introduced in the Senate.

DEER BECOME PEST
TO IOWA FARMERS,
INJURE CORNFIELDS
Jump Fences and Invade Corn
fields While Protected by
State Game Law.

Council Bluffs, Ia, Feb. 15.-Deputy'
Warden w. A. Groneweg, of this city,
has just returned home from Avoca,
where for the past three days he has
been making ar investigation of Q
pest OF wild deer which has been rang
ing over a territory of about Is miles
in the Nishabotna river valley in
northwestern Pottawattamfe county
and Shelby county, Groneweg's hives
LEGATION was made on instructions
from George A. Lincoln, Of Cedar
Rapids, state fish and game warden.
About 10 years ago 10 deer escaped
from the Cuppy herd at Avoca n for
a time were fed by surrounding farm"
ers. Within q few years the deer be-
came wild and began to be a pest. The
Iowa game law prohibits the killing
or trapping Of deer except by the owner
and no farmer wanted to claim own-
ership Of the deer because such claim
would have brought a train of damage
suits from persons who had suffered
from their depredations.
For the past few years the farmers
have continued to suffer in silence, but
during the past fall and winter the
deer, which ave increased to about
400 in number, have become such a pest
as to be intolerable and appeal after
appeal has been made to Warden Lin
coin.
Fences offer no obstacle to the deer.
for they jump them with ease, and as
a result the farmers fields have been
badly treated. During the winter the
deer have been feeding from corn left
iii the fields ana one farmer
his loss at about five bushels to the
acre for a large field. During the past
mating season two bucks became par
ticularly vicious and attacked school
children. Parents of the children killed
the animals. Just what action will be
taken by Warden Lincoln to relieve the.
farmers has not been decided upon.

Compelled to Go Back
to Prison.

Springfield, ILL.,, Feb. 19.-The Illi-
nois supreme court holds the state pa
role law of 1899 invalid. Judge Vickers
stated that the persons who are u
on parole would have to go into court
with the parole which had been granted
them by the state board of pardons
and ask the court for a dicharge on pa
role. Then Governor Deneen must an
prove the action OF the court. This is
under the law of 1897, which the SUI
preme court holds is in force after de-
claring the law OF 1899 invalid.
The decision in substance
THAT board of pardons is stripped
OF some of its most important powers,
chiefly the releasing of penitentiary
prisoners without the approval of the
judge by whom they were sentenced:
that felons serving indeterminate terms
in state penal institutions for the crime
of m~anslaughter, which was included
I'm the application OF the act of 1899, are
serving sentence under a law that does
not exist.
THAT defendants tried, convicted and
sentenced under the parole act of 1893.
nov in prison, may be taken back to
their respective trial courts and rein

CANTON CONSIDERS
INTERURBAN LINE
IN MASS MEETING

Canton, $. D., Feb. 17.-One of the larg-
est and most enthusiastic mass meetings
ever held in this city, and that In the
race or a severe wind storm, was the
one held at the rooms OF the Unity club
Tuesday evening. The meeting was called
for the purpose of hearing from Mr.. Ma
gee, the promoter OF the proposed cleo
trio railroad between Sioux City and Sioux
Falls, via Elk Point, Vermillion, Beres-
ford, Worthing. with a branch line rum
ming TO Canton. The road is practically
an ABSURD thing and ii now remains for
Canton TO decide whether or not she can
afford TO have the road gn through che
heart of the county and not make AN
effort to have a branch run into town.
Can the town afford to let the other towns
get the benefit of cheaper freight rates?
AT the meeting last evening a great many
farmers, land owners along the proposed
right-of-way, were present. They are anx-
ious to have the road built. The people
of the county are thoroughly alive to the
awful discrimination In freight rates for
which they are indebted to the Sioux City
Tribune, in the last few issues OF which
ave been running the articles on Whats
the Matter With South Dakota?' The
people of this section of the state would
rather put some money into an electric
road and get cheaper rates, than TO wait
for the South Dakota railroad commits
sioners TO adjust the rates. The ques.
ton oftenest asked now is, What are the
railroad commissioners doiiag?''
Al committee OF five men, consisting OF
Mayor Dean. Hon, Thos. Thorson, p. s
Pickett, J. T. Hansen and ID. c. Drag
stad was appointed to take up the mat
ter with the citizens OF the city and
community to see what could be done TO
encourage the building OF the road.

NAMES CANNOT Be
WITHDRAWN FROM
LIQUOR PETITION
Ruling by Judge Affects Status
Of License Question in
South Dakota.

Huron, S. d., Feb. ia case OF
more than passing interest and import
ance was argued here today before
Judge Alva h. Taylor. OF the Ninth
Judicial Circuit. 1t was the case Of ex
rel. b. G. Ketterling against the town
clerk and supervisors of La Prairie
township, Sphinx county. A petition was
filed to submit the question Shall IN
~toxicating liquors be sold at retail?'
The law requires hat a petition OF 70
legal ~free-holder voters asking for d
vote thereon. shall be filed with the
clerk so days before election. This was
done, but 25 days before election, five
of the petitioners withdrew their names
and the town board refused 10 submit
the question to a vote.
At the conclusion of the argument,
the court held that the town board
could not refuse to submit the ques-
ton n declared that the signers could
not withdraw their names after ii was
too late TO get others to taxi their
places, as filing of the petition created
a moral obligation and the persons I'LL
ing the petition had the legal right to
insist on the signers' NJ mes remaining
OF the petition, unless they were with
drawn before the 80 days began to run.
Roy Bull, Of Redfeld, appeared for the
petitioners and Judge w. +. CoTrigan,
of Melette, for the town board.

Superintendent
RAPS FADS FOUND
IN SMALL COLLEGE
Says Craze for Specialization
Has Even Invaded the High
Schools of Country.

Charles City, Ia. Feb. l7.-American
! colleges give too much attention to
athletics. there are far too many cleo
tive studies, and 100 many courses are
being introduced to minister 70 the
fancy of students.
So asserted superintendent of Public
instruction Riggs in a speech deliv-
cred at Charles City college, this city.
At present, he said, the college hon.
ors regarded worthy Of effort are no
longer those secured because of intel
lectual supremacy, but instead those
gained through physical skill and en-
durance.
In introducing elective studies he
stated that care should be taken not to
get in too many easy ones, lest the
students elect to take enough of them
to secure the required number of cred
it's. In such event. he said, the di-
ploma issued would represent little
real scholarship.
The craze for specialization has even
invaded the high school, and mere boys
and girls are permitted to elect courses
that appeal to a passing fancy. Without
doubt the old time college curriculum
was narrow and conventional. A broad
ening and enriching of the courses YVES
demanded, particularly in the fields or
sociology and the physical sciences,
but there is now danger in this era or
electives lest the easy subjects be taken
in sufficient number to secure the re-
quired credits for graduation and the
diplomas represent very little real
scholarship. For the average student,
If given a free choice, is very apt to
follow the line or least resistance by
selecting the studies that are the least
eXacting and that requires the smallest
amount of continuous application and
labOTious study. The ~liberalizing of col
lege courses is justified only where the
substitutes for the cultural studies Of
the past are made of equal disciplinary
value n require the exercise Of as
cation"
Further ne said;
The small college should De content
to be a college and nothing more. It's
development should be intensive and
not extensive. 1t should cOurt the fame
of giving the best, rather than the
most. 1t should not be carried off it's
feet by any popular clamor or shaken
in it's purpose by the attack OF it's en-
emies, or by the unwise counsel of some
of its friends. The college should never
lose sight of the higher values in life.
1t should conserve scholarship for its
own sake. 1t should cultivate a taste
for the beautiful and pure and exalted
in art and literature. The supreme
work is first to make men and women
and afterwards professional men and
artisans and farmers. The college must
insist that man does not live by bread
alone IT must combat the idea that
any training to be worth while must
give the power to make money"
