THE SCHOOL OF TOMORROW.

The Worlds Work is publishing
series of articles on the school of to-
morrow, contrasting what it is ex,
pected to do for the boys and girls
of the future with what the school of
yesterday did for the boys and girls
of the past. The first of the articles
appears in the April issue 1t is by
Arthur D. Dean, chief of the division
of trade schools of the New York state
education department, and was award
ed first prize among 300 manuscripts
that were submitted ON the subject.
1t is indeed noteworthy utterance
Not only does it disclose the glazing
deficiencies and inefficiencies of the
present system, but it points out how
they may be remedied.
One sentence discloses its central
idea: I'm the school of tomorrow it
will be boys more than books, and liv-
ing more than letters How this
idea is exemplifed may be gathered
from the following paragraphs, strik-
ing for their epigrammatic forecful-
ness:
"Predigested education and printers

yirile men.

THE KEokuk PUBLICITY sILI.

The Clinton Herald says of the
measure drafted in this city and pass
ed by the legislature permitting Iowa
municipalities to use certain funds
for publicity purposes:
The municipal publicity bill, pro.
NOTED by Keokuk, has been passed by
both houses and no doubt will be
signed by the governor The bill. in
brief. provides that all city revenues
arising from licenses. fines and other
sources of like nature, may be
expended. under proper restrictions,
for publicity purposes. The thought
is good one, but mighty few cities
in the state of Iowa will avail them
selves of the opportunity As mat
ter of fact there is not city council
in the entire state of Iowa that is
satisfied with the amount of money
available for current expenses, aud
mighty few councils can be brought
to believe that it Is wise to let other
things go and advertise Possibly
keokuk. where there is great en-.
thusiasm, will decide to avail them
selves OF the opportunity. The re-
suit will be an eye-opener to the rest
of the state. and in time other cities
may follow the example simply be-
cause they will be compelled to do
SO to meet the Keokuk comp etition.
There is no division of sentiment
in Keokuk as to the wisdom of bring
ing the superior advantages of Keo-
kuk growing out of the development
of the water power to the attention of
the rest OF the world. The city coun-
Gil and all the people of this city are
a unit on this proposition They are
also agreed that the campaign likely
to yield the best returns will be to
send a representative into the con-
sested manufacturing districts in the
eastern and New England states, who
will present the facts as to Keokuk's
central location, cheap power and
transportation facilities to the heads
of large Industrial establishments
there with view to influencing their
removal to this city. The man select
ed for this important work will be an
experienced community builder, with
record of accomplished results to
his credit. AS far as it is possible to
avoid anything of the kind, there will
be no hit-or-miss about Keokuk's pub
licity campaign. 1t will be prosecuted
scientifically, Systematically and per,
sistently. 1t is confidently believed
that the money thus expended will be
wisely expended. and the hope is en-
tertained that the result, in the Ian
guage of the Herald, will be IAN eye
opener to the rest of the state

back to first principles in this day Of
multitudinous rules" for the diet and
complicated systems for supplying
bodily and mental vigor. With Pastor
Wagner, he believes firmly in the sim
pie life. and proves his belief by at
tanning a ripe old age himself. Keep
active. eat and drink moderately, rest
at intervals. forget Father Time, and
his scythe, and leave the rest to Moth

doubtless the wise one, too.

that it works about as much harm as
good. If there has been an improve,
ment-and we believe there has.in
the drinking habits of the United
States, 1t has been brought about by
education; by better understanding
of the uses and abuses of alcohol and
by a higher sense OF the duties of cit

must be added the fact that large EN-
ployers OF labor endow with their
richest rewards the sober and indus

form is being accomplished as a
healthy growth from within, not by
force from without.

IOWA TEACHERS WIN.

Iowa teachers have won a notable
Ritter bill by both houses of the legis-
lature. The measure received the en-
victory in the passage of the Cowles-
dorsement of the house on Thursday
by a vote of 20 to -, and with Gov
ernor CARROTS signature will become
a law.
According to. the provisions of the
new bill. Iowa teachers holding state
certificates, first and second grade
uniform county certificates or special
county certificates, will be entitled to
life certificates. Provision is also made
that holders of lower grade certifi-
err grade by taking examinations for
the same in one branch at time.
The enactment of the measure into
law was matter of simple justice to
Iowa teachers. There was nothing Of
fairness or of professional recognition
in requiring teachers to take examin-
ations periodically after they had
once established their qualifications,
efficiency and worthiness. No such ex-
action was made of doctors or law
yers or ministers or workers in the
various trades. Teachers were the
only class Disseminated against and
the discrimination reflected, upon
them and entailed considerable ex-
pense in comparison with their finan-
cial rewards. The general assembly
did we'll to recognize teaching as q
profession and accord it the privileges
and immunities enjoyed by the pro-
LESSONS generally.

phoebe couxins and SUFFRAGE.


Dubuque Times: Miss Phoebe
Couzins, a member of the Washington
bar. addressed the Illinois legislature
last week in opposition to woman suf-
frage In earlier days she was deputy
United States marshal at ST. Louis
and platform lecturer on behalf of
woman suffrage. When holding a
federal position she mixed in politics
and helped create sentiment for her
crowd, carry out the plans of the
organization and lasso the spoils. Miss
Couzins says this is why she is against
woman suffrage now. She says her
sisters can not touch pitch without
becoming defiled and that she wishes
them to remain representatives of the
good. the true and the beautiful. She
says that where woman has obtained
the suffrage neither woman nor the
state has profited by it. Needless to
say, the advocates of women's eman-
cipation are very much wrought up
over the conduct of this renegade to
the cause and the compliments she is
getting have a sibilant sound

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in

Awoke one night from deep dream
of peace,
And saw within the moonlight in his
Making it rich and like lily in
bloom,
An angel writing in book of gold:
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adj

And to the presence in his room he
said:
What writes thou?' The vision rails
ed its head.
And, with look made all of sweet ac-
cord,
Answered: "The names of those who
love the Lord
And is mine one?" said Abou. Nay
not so,''
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more
low,
But cheerily still. and said: 81 pray
thee, then.
Write me as one that loves his fell
low-men.''
The angel wrote and vanished. The
next night
It came again. and with a great awak-
ening light,
And showed the names whom love OF
God had blessed,
And, To- Ben Adhem's name led all

HOW MEN AND WOMEN STUDY

Inc apparently marked difference
between the manner in which the
masculine and feminine mind absorbs
the wisdom of the sages impels Miss
Agnes Repplier to make an amusing
comparison. In recent lecture to
women at Mary Institute she said:
"As for reading, we can't sit down
to large still books. How many to-
day have read the worlds great
books? You've heard so much about
them and read 50 much about them
and listened to lectures and read re,
views and you think that somewhere
back in your youth You must have
read them, but when and where?"
