Grinnell, Aug. 4-Three boys of this
city learned their lesson yesterday
from the "didn't-know-it- was-loaded'
tex in a way that two Of them at least
will not be likely to forget!
Grubb. Speth and Stacy, three lads
ranging in age from 10 to IA years and
members of families here in the
city, had been having a play camp"
near the railroad just west of the city.
They had q 80 caliber revolver as a
part of their outfit and Grub. not
thinking it was loaded, pointed it at
the others and pulled the trigger when
it did business with a ball that went
thru the thigh of the Speth boy and
struck the shin of the Stacy lad.
Both boys We're promptly cared for
by a physician and are pronounced as
doing we'll with no reason for fearing
extra serious results. But there are
some parents and friends that are still
~shuddering at the thought of what
might have happened had the pistol
been aimed a little higher.

Iowa was almost the first state in the
union to establish such a school,. The
beginning at GlenWood was modest. A
few years before 1876 the old home for
| orphan children Of soldiers was discon-
tinued at Glenwood, and the building
thus left vacant was used for the new
charity.
This old main building is still in use,
but it looks small and out of date in
contrast to the many modern struc-
lures that have since been erected.
More than 1900 children now make
their home at the institution. The en-
ployes number nearly 200, of whom
seventy-one Ia teachers. This gives
the little city on the hill" a popula-
ton of 1,400 or more.
There have been three superintend-
ents of the institution in these thirty
four years. The first was Dr. O.. w.
Archibald. He was followed by DR.. F.
NJ. Powell, who for more than twenty
years devoted his time and talent t o
establishing and p~erfecting the work
along substantial lines. Both are dead.
