Never before was the physical wei.
fare of our girls and boys given such
thought and study as today. 1t is
perhaps because never before was it
realized that so many of our boys
and girls are suffering from physi.
cal ailments. The schools are being
provided with doctors and nurses,
and the detectives are being treat.
ed to special training. Gymnasiums,
recreation centers and athletic fields
are multiplying in number everywhere
The latest effort at relieving the con.
ditions which in any way Cypress our
children comes from an association of
principals and teachers who make the
following suggestions:
l.. That hereafter no %calandered or
coated paper be printed in the text
books given to the children as the
dazzle of such paper Is injurious to
their eyes.
2. That in reading the children
hold their books at an angle of ap-
proximately as degrees, and that in
oral reading they be required to
look up frequently.
3. Thai after a lesson demanding
close work the children be asked
to look up at the ceiling or out OF
the window to change the focus Of
their eyes and rest the muscles Of
accommodation.
4. That classrooms be equipped
with loose chairs in different sizes,
s o that children may sit in seats
that fit them, placed where they can
see best.
5. That in the first two years of
school all writing be upon the black
boards instead Of on paper.
6. That no classes be permitted
to occupy any room in which the
light is not entirely satisfactory.
The wide awake rural teacher will
be able to improve III physical con-
lition of her pupils though the con-
ditions for doing SO are not so fav-
orable.
In the boys COZ contest and the
girls baking contest the following
rules should be observed.
1. Boys from twelve to eighteen
years Of age will be allowed to COM
pete in the ten ear contests.
2. Corn must be selected from
that grown by the exhibitor or upon
the farm worked by the father or
guardian of exhibitor.
3. Exhibits sent by mail should
be prepaid.
4. Exhibitors who wish corn re-
turned should send 25 cents to pay
for repacking and carriage.
5. Only boys under twelve years
of age may compete in long ear,

lest five ear contests.

OPEN UP mlTcAELLvILLE SCHOOL.

The reform school at Mitchellville is
very much in the public ear and very
much out of the public eye. There has
been trouble at the school. The girls
have revolted whether with or without
reasonable cause. Cells have been con-
sidered necessary to the ma intenance
of discipline. The school is disorgan-
lied and rebellious. Trouble is pres
ent and breeding. SO much we know
but there is much that is not known
and of which the suspicion that it is
being hidden and concealed is entire
" justifable. A very humiliating sug-
gestion and one which does not lack
corroborating circumstances is that
trouble has been cultivated in an at
tempt TO cast discredit on John Cownie
twelve years a member of the board of
control and all in all the most eff
Gent and most widely trusted member
who has sat on that board.
If Cownie has been the victim of
treachery that of itself is bad enough;
but if the school at Mitchellville has
become pawn of peanut politicians,
die to be ratified and cast in the game
Of petty politics as played by petty
men in high office that is simply dis
grace Men and members of boards
rome and 60 and individual hurt and
disappointment are to be slightly con-
sidered in comparison with the cruel
treachery that shifts the thimblerig
politics of a levee ward to the gates
of a state institution conceived in
charity and maintained in hope. The
school at Mitchellville is as at present
Instituted a saving refuge for girls who
have failed, who need help against
themselves. Its mission is to assist
girls, who have followed false lights
away from safe ground, back to the
highway of a higher womanhood and a
useful life. If there is an iota of justi-
He'd suspicion that those whose duty it
Is to keep the refuge have debauched it
to the level of word boss theory of
practical politics the whole matter
should be turned inside out to the gaze
of cozened and angry state.
This school needs closer looking af-
ter. If ministers who make public
statements are to be credited the lash
is as freely appealed to at Mitchellville
rs in mnule barn. To this is to be
ldded the solitary CELL What next
In our process of leading girls who
have been neglected by the parents
who created them, by society, by chris
tainity and trailed from their childhood
by the hyenas of vice who are given
free run of our city streets, what next?

low all trails no matter where the track

Looker-On In Iona

Eldora, March 25.-While in Bristow
on a recent trip, the writer saw a tele-
gram from st. Louis ordering a car
load of cabbage from the BristoW deal
er. There's nothing particularly Won
derful in this, but mention is made of
1t here, as illustrating successful bus
mess system. When cabbage raising
became specially around Bristow a
few years ago, in the fall the whole
product was shipped to the big cities
and sold for what it would bring some
times very low price. Later these
cabbage raisers built cement ware
houses, partly underground, something
like house Easements. Cratelike shelves
were placed in rows, and on them
thousands of pounds of cabbage heads
were carefully stored away Along in
the winter dealers in the run out of
cabbage Then the cabbage owners of
Bristow and elsewhere have something
to say about price. When the buyer
and seller agree. on that price then a
carload of cabbage is sold f. o. b. Bris-
tow. All of which beats the old way
of sending carload after carload to the
big places and letting the sauer-kraut
makers fix the price.

worker gives his efforts to society.
Society, therefore, thru the medium
Of the employer, should stand between
him and want in case of accident end
ing, or diminishing, or suspending, his
earning power. Such, in brief, is the
Roosevelt doctrine of compensation for
industrial accident.
A commission created by the last
New York legislature to inquire into
the subject of employers liability, the
causes Of industrial accidents and 9TH
er matters, has made it's report and
recommends measures looking in the
right direction. Two bills are placed
before the legislature. The first ap-
plies only to certain specified employ
ments which the commission finds to
be very dangerous, and in which of
This bill recommends the principle of
compensation for all accidents regard
less of negligence by providing for
compensation for all workmen injured
in such employments by either the
negligence of the employer, his agents
or employees, or by the necessary risk
or danger of the employment or one
inherent in the danger thereof" This
bill does not take away rights of action
now existing either at common law or
under any statute. but provides that
-, al OF Io ti,,,a
of bringing his action whether he will
pursue his rights under the compensa-
ton act or under the existing liability
laws, and such eelction is final The
commission recommends this bill as a
step toward and a trial of the principle
of compensation for all industrial acct
dents.
The second bill covers all accidents
to employees not coming within the
purview of the first bill. 1t introduces
the principle of compensation for all
untary and subject to agreement be-
twnee the employer and the employee.
This bill, in addition to it's elective
scheme of compensation, amends the
employers liability act so as consider
ably to increase the liability of the en-
ployer by abrogating or at least greatly
the assumption of risk rule.
This bill affects the defense of con-
tributory negligence by placing on the
employer the burden of proving con-
tributory negligence on the part Of the
employe, whereas the law now requires
the employee to prove his freedom from
negligence; it modifies
the fellow servant rule thru which
employers now escape liability for the
negligence of co-employers, by declar-
ing employers liability for negligence
of any employee Entrusted with any SUI
perintendence" or by reason of the
negligence of any employe Entrusted
with authority to direct, control or
command any employee in the perform
ance of the duty of such employee"
In due time we will come to the full
Roosevelt position on this great hui
name and economic question. Mean
while, it is good to note a tendency in
the right direction.

THE CHILDREN LOOKING IN.

A lawyer and dentist we'll known in
Marshalltown passing a Main street
saloon Thursday noticed a little boy
sobbing and a little sister year or
80 older endeavoring to comfort him.
The children stood near the door Of the
saloon. Inquiry developed that the IA
nher was inside. He came out soon
and taking charge of the children went
away. The lawyer, who told the story,
said HE was a rather good looking
following of respectable appearance"

NODE RnIzIMe ACCIDENT lAsILIry.

In his addresses and state papers,
Theodore Roosevelt, while president,
repeatedly took the position that the
victims of Industrial accidents should
he compensated and taken care of,
practically regardless of the circum-
stances of the accident He put forth
the theory that If such compensation
were compulsory, the employer would
