CONSOLIDATING RURAL SCHOOLS.
(MareEgo Republican,.
The recent action Of the voters Of
Clear Creek township in johnson
county in voting for the consolidation
OF the schools OF that township into
one central school to be located at
Tiffin is the cause Of some agitation OF
the subject of rural school consolida-
ton thru this part Of Iowa. Miss
Schloeman, county superintendent OF
Benton county, expresses herself as
very enthusiastic in favor of the plan.
and to a reporter of the Republican.
Miss McEachran. superintendent or
schools for Iowa county, stated that
she is very favorable to rural school
consolidation in Iowa county. and
wish IS that some OF the townships
could be induced to take the question
up.
Under the law passed by the thirty
first general assembly, sixteen gov
eminent sections or more may combine
into a consolidated Independent district
by majority vote of the citizens. The
usual method, we understand. has been
for a whole township to so combine.
but 1t is not necessary for the bound
aries to include more than the six
teen sections.
That there Is great waste not only
Of money but of efficiency is clear to
any one familiar with the rural school
system. In Llncolr township one dis
trict-No. 9-had three pupils during
the fall term. No. i in the. same
township had seven. But each Of these
schools had 10 pay $40 per month for
a teacher. In Sumner township No. G
had four pupils during the fall term.
while Nos. S and each had seven.
No. 4 had five pupils last winter and
four in the spring. The enrolment In
New York township No. last spring
was two. Yet they paid their teacher
$35 and they paid just as much to keep
their room warm and building in re-
pair as tho they had fifty. There Is
surprisingly large number of districts
In Iowa county which have an enroll
ment of less than ten.
Another factor which Is having an
influence in the direction of consolida-
ton is the new law requiring a rural
district not having high school course
to pay tuition Of children residing in
, that corporation to high schools out
| ride OF the district. This is quite a

SEX STUDY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS

SEX STUDY IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
burlington Gazettel.
Hats off to President Homer H.
Seerley of the Iowa State Teachers
College. He made an address before
the Iowa Congress ot Mothers and
Parent Teachers association at Des
Moines yesterday which abounded in
common sense and common decency.
A number Of half baked educators
and wouldbe p ,blicis.s. hardly dry be-
hind the ears, are today agitating the
teaching Of sex problems in our public
schools. To their cloudy notion Of
hings a childs parents are delinquent
in their duties and the average Ameri-
can home Is totally inadequate. They
would teach little children things
which destroy modesty end innocence
and which would make them curious.
Old-fashioned folks believe that If the
public school teaches children the three
RS and geography and history and the
other essentials, it has done its duty.
It is not it's province to butt in" on
those matters which naturally fall to
the parents responsibility. The aver
age father and mother are very cap
able os instilling In their child the love
Of truth, the necessity of decent living
and the explanation of any sex prob
lem which a child sho I'D know. A
parent Is more interested in the child's
moral and physical well-being than
any one else under the sun and is
| more competent to foster IT..
| Mr.. Seerley Is opposed to sensation
| alism in our schools. He does not be-
lieve In the exploitation of sex prob
lens Ia Our schools and as has the
courage of his belief. 1t 10 refreshing
IN this day OF fads and foolishness to
fnd an educator of such prominence
and worth as Mr.. Seerley comha ttinl

we'll as the school. He Is worth resi-

THE IS PER CENT.
[Des Moines Register and Leader1.
That 80 per cent OF the boys and
girls Of Iowa do not get bevond the
eighth grade in school is putting 1t too
emphaticaliy, in the opinion OF State
Superintendent Deyoe. Ninety five per
cent would be. however. safe and
conservative estimate.
Let it so, then, that it is 95 per cent
Of the boys and girls who are forced
for one reason or another to top on
their education where the nearby rural
school leaves them, or with the eighth
grade in the town and city schools.
What Is the real educational problem
for Iowa?
And 1t is to be remembered in this
connection that Iowa averag es higher
in wealth and in ability to have edn-
cation than any equal population on
the face OF the globe.
Why should our solicitude Re mainly
for the high schools and colleges for
the 5 per cent? Are any Of the prob
lens of democracy to he solved In that
way? Is the growing chasn: between

Most Violent Storm in Twenty
Years Damages Shipping

CHICAGO, September 7.-One of the
most violent storms experienced in many
years struck Chicago harbor early today.
Between fifteen and twenty launches,
motor boats and sloops were caught in

Several passenger boats due here early
today have not been accounted for.
Shortly before daylight distress signals
were heard from some large boat out in
the lake. and the life savers have thus
far been unable to identify the craft.
According to Capt. Garland of the life
saving service, this was the fiercest
storm in twenty years. 1t abated al
