Eleven per cent OF the total prison

been sent up for the remainder OF
their days. In all, the life-term
population of the big state penal
institution is 1877. out OF a tota!
population OF about 1850.
These astounding figures are fur

few Of them are up for murder in

criminal assault, and one, Oscar

county for horse stealing, is serving

be heard before the United States

the writings OF the fathers Of the
early church, carried the people to
the time of Polycarp which must have
been at the end of the first or the be-
ginning of the second century. He
concluded by saying that it was use
less to support theories of inspiration,
or of revelation unless the New Tes-
lament standard of living was aimed
at.
Churches stood for something more
than creeds and sacraments. Unless
they did. there was little hope of their
continuance. It is a fact that the
New Testament inspires high ideals,
and gives the inspiration to reach
them. That is the use of the gospels,
and all others are secondary.

ADVERTISE IOWA
STATE SCHOOLS
State Educational Board to Give
Some Good Suggestions
Along This Line.

That the state educational institu-
lions and especially the state uni
versity at Iowa City should be bet
ter advertised and expressing the be-
lief that the state board of education
should spend little more money in
printers ink. Geo. S. Banta, presi-
dent of the Iowa City AID club. who
was guest at meeting of the Cedar
Rapids AID club brought the matter
to the attention of the ad men in
such a way that resolution was
passed calling on the Iowa Associated
AID clubs to boost the matter along.
The advantages offered to the
young men of Iowa are not known out
side the confines of the state uniyer-
sity town. declared Mr.. Banta. THE
members of the Iowa City Ad club
feel this perhaps more than anyone
else. We think If the Iowa AID clubs
would get busy and make the state
board see wherein it would be adj
vantageous to play up the good quail
tiles of the state university that the
attendance would De greatly in
creased.
Mr.. Banta was. asked to have his
club bring the matter officially be-
fore the sta,, organizations of Ad
clubs, and it is expected that some
pressure will be brought to bear upon
the state board of education to adver-
tise Iowa universities in other states.
