Good Word for Winfield school.

Harry Bowman, chairman of the
state board of control, seems to think
that the designations of heads of de-
partments under fire and the protests
against management of rtate institu-
tions are the only things printed by
the papers and read by the public with
any satisfaction. He points with pride
today to a letter from G. M. Howard
of RosedaIe, who writes to bear wit
ness that the Winfield restitution is a
model of it's kind Mr. Howard had a
little boy taken sick md confined
there The boy was cured and sent
home, and Mr.. Howard declares that
the institution is a model of cleanli
ness and good management and
praises Dr. Clark and hIs assistants
without ceasing.

in question stopped at the principal
hotel in the town where she was sent
by the head of her department She
was given an ordinary room and sup
per and paid her bill and secured her
receipt. When she turned in the bill

the bill for the room. 1t was too high,
he said. and so the young woman must
