declaration of State Superintendent
Deyoe.
One Of the things which the present
state superintendent plans to make
better in the rural schools Of Iowa is
that OF having the rooms heated and
ventilated with some regard for the
health Of the pupils. In circular to
school officers Just issued this point is
emphasized at this time SO that prepa-

as to tho manner Of procedure and
this was after an informal conference
with Collector Tobin- The plan out
lined by tho attorney general was to
have each county attorney make out
an alphabetical list Of the legal permit
holders in his county, then ask the col

elected.
President Stanton will continue to
act as president of the college during
the next school year. 1t is not at all
likely he will be supplanted by another
in that time.
The board does not at the present
time have anyone in mind for the place.
Professor Sparks Of Pennsylvania was
considered, but the committee found
that he is getting $4,000 a year and
house rent and some other perquisites
and 1t was useless to approach him
with any place in Iowa. No candidate
