Important Than state

HAS PRACTICAL VALUE

Superintendent In Which Zig
Meeting to Be Held Here
is Boosted.

Alec w. Rakow, Lee county super
intendent of public schools, in let
ter addressed 70 the boards of direc-
tors in Lee county. characterizes the
coming meeting of the Southeastern
Iowa Teachers Association which will
be held III Keokuk, as "of more real
practical value to the average teach
er, than is the state teachers asso-
ciation.'' In his letter he says:
For the first time in twelve years
the Southeastern Iowa Teachers AS,
sociation meets in Lee county this
year. Over a thousand teachers from
twenty-five counties are expected to
attend the convention at Keokuk,
April 6, and s. This association is
of more real practical value to the
average teacher, than is the state
teachers association. | believe that
it will increase the efficiency Of teach
ers sufficiently to make it advisable
for your board to pass the following
resolution at once, and hope it will
do so:
Resolved, That all teachers in this
district be and are hereby granted
leave of absence without loss of pay
to attend the session of the South
eastern Teachers Association at Keo-
kuk, April 6-S, 1911
"You will note that the dates are a
| Thursday and Friday, SO that they do
not break up a week of school. Upon
the passage of such resolution as
that above. feel that each teacher
owes it to herself and her profession
to pay her own expenses to the con-
vention.'
Word From State Superintendent
In letter written by State Super
intendent A. III. DeYoe stress is laid
on the meeting in the following par
agraphs
THE seventeenth annual session of
| the Southeastern Iowa Teachers As
ISOLATION is announced to meet at
Keokuk on April 6, Z and s. Teach
| ers of professional spirit usually de-
| sire to attend educational gatherings
for the purpose of keeping abreast of
modern ideas concerning public
school conditions
THE meeting of the district asso-
Citations are nearly as popular as
evidenced by the attendance, and gen
orally as helpful, as the meetings of
the state association.
School boards of southeastern
Iowa are requested to consider fav-
orably the matter of allowing teach
ers the days to attend this meeting. /"

GRAND LEADER rs
SURE ENOUGH LEADER
Smokers OF keokuk Found That Out
Long Ago and Have Not
Changed Opinions.

There is at least one cigar made
in Keokuk which bears title which
fits it, the Grand Leader, manufac-
tured by G. w. Ewers, at 1920 Main
street, being not only a grand smoke,
but leader. 1t leads all other Keo-
kuk made five-cent cigars in the race
for popularity and numbers its
friends by the hundreds. There is
satisfaction in it and Grand Leader
smokers can easily be picked out OF
a crowd by the satisfied expression on
their faces.
The Ewers' cigar store is one of
the popular places on upper Main
street where gentlemen who visit find
a pleasant place to trade. A full line
of smokers supplies is carried in
stock. If you have never tried 9
Grand Leader, get one the next time
and find out what really good smoke
tastes like.

lap and j. B. We'll viii Be
Voted for at the Polls
on Monday.
A LITTLE CONTROVERSY
Effort of Mcfarland to Have Duty
of Calling Meeting Vested in
Secretary Brought Forth
Arguments.

Henry g. Seeman, j. F. Lutz j. A..
Dunlap and J.sB. We'll were nominal
ted for school directors at a meeting
of citizens held in the county court
house last evening. Five names were
placed in nomination, and the vote
follows:
j f. Lutz, SO.
Henry seeman, 2S.
J. A. Dunlap, 26.
j. B. We'll, L.
B. l.. Auwerda, 16.
The meeting was attended by only
few, and was called to order at
1880 O'Clock by w. G. Blood, a MEM
Der of the committee. Capt. T. F.
Baldwin was chosen chairman and r.
B. B. Wood, secretary. Seeman was
nominated by Curtis Koepf, Lutz by
Henry G. Seeman, Dunlap by George
S. Tucker, We'll by John P. Hornish
and Auwerda by G. f. Mcfarland.
The only bit of controversy that
grew out of the gathering was occas-
Toned by motion of G. F. Mcfarland,
which would have taken the calling
of the meeting next year out of the
hands of committee of citizens and
invest it in the secretary of the
school board The author of this
motion expressed the opinion that the
school board secretary could better
attend to this in connection with his
duty of posting notice for the school
election. Mr.. McFarland's motion
was carried, but was later reconsider
ed. The argument was advanced by
other gentlemen present that such a
move would take 1t out of the hands
of the citizens, where it properly be-
longed, because the meeting did not
come within the confines of any law
laid down, but was simply a custom
that has been followed in years gone
| by. Mr.. Hamill, member of the
board, believed that committee
should call the meeting, and that the
matter should in no way be connected
with the board A motion to this
effect was subsequently carried and
the chair appointed w. G. Blood, John
e. Craig and Curtis Koepf as that
committee.
The election will be held Monday.
The polls will be open from 100 to
700 o'clock p. M, and the place OF
voting is the High school.
The judges of, election are DR.. A.
B. Hughes, president Of the board
Dr.. G. Walter Barr, secretary, and
w. b. Woolley. director.
