Thompson or Worst May Succeed.
Two names prominent in agricul
tural educational work in the middle
west are being suggested as prest
dent of the Iowa State Agricultural
college at Ames.
They are DR.. w. o. Thompson
president Of Ohio State college. and
DR.. j.. Henry Worst, president Of
North Dakota Agriculture college.
DR.. Thompson spoke at Ames last
year when the international meeting
of agricultural teachers was held
there. He made favorable impress
sion on the students and teachers VINO
attended that meeting.
That his name is being considered
by the faculty committee of the
state board of education is generally
believed
The members of the faculty COM
mittee are also considering the name
of Professor Stanton, acting presi-
dent of the college.
Friends of Prof. C. F. Curtiss, dean
of the agricultural department, are
urging his appointment as president
of the institution.
Members Of the board say that
they have not settled on any presi-
dent but expect to elect president
some weeks before the college year
begins next fall.
More Room Needed at State Capitol.
The new fire marshal and his Of.
fee force must have quarters in the
state house; the new temporary tax
commission of five members must
have rooms in the state house; the
new employers liability commission
must also have rooms in the state
house.
The state board of education wants
to return to the speakers room, which
the board occupied prior to the meet.
ing of the legislature. The depart
ments which are given added duties
are asking for more room. Commit
tee rooms will have to be altered for
some of the new departments. Some
departments which have large rooms
are entering protests against any
proposition to crowd any other de-
partments into their quarters.
Then there is the commerce coun.
sci department with its force of clerks
and stenographers. Room must be
found for them. The railroad com.
mission Office is crowded now.
