Z FREE SCHOLARSHIPS
County Superintendent Will Select
Young Men for Teachers College.

Two young men who desire col.
lege education, and especially an edu-
cation that will fit them to become
teachers, are to be given free honor
scholarships at Iowa State Teachers
College at Cedar Falls. County Super.
intendent ChaS. Young will select the
two young men VINO are to receive
these scholarship. His authority to do
so was received in a circular letter
from President Homer II. Seerley, of
the college. A similar letter has been
sent to each county superintendent
of schools in the state. Inc purpose
is to encourage and help young men
who show an aptitude for teaching.
The state board of education has
provided for these scholarships. The
county superintendent is instructed to
appoint the young men, the only quail
ification demanded being that the
minimum standard of scholarship is
not to be less than that required to
complete the country school course OF
study. If the nominations can be
made from higher grade OF students
so much the better.
The county superintendent is to use
any method of determining the best
candidates for these scholarships that
he may see fit, and the college is to
be furnished with the details of the
honor students scholarship in order
that the work they are to receive can
be properly scheduled.
The college will furnish detailed re-
ports of the progress made by the stu
dents, and whenever the student fails
below the grade required the college
will withdraw the free tuition and
notify the county superintendent to
appoint another young man to the va.
cancy. The privilege of these free
scholarships is being extended to
young men to fit themselves to be-
come teachers in the public schools
because there is great need for such
young men teachers in the consodi-
dated rural schools, townships schools
and others. ....- .....

Council Bluffs, April 23.-Special:
A score or more of citizens of Council
Bluffs, who had visions of home in
sunny California, at a moderate cost,
are guessing otherwise now. A few
days ago a man named Bixby came
here. and advertised extensively that
he was giving away lots in Cloverdale
Heights, SOnOma county, California,
about forty miles from Frisco. He
was advertising the place to cover the
cost of filing fee charged $3.50. Hold.
ers of tickets to moving picture hall
were to be the beneficiaries. One
young women, who was asked to call
at the hotel and complete the deal,
turned her communication from Bixby
over to Chief of Police Froom. He
wired the sheriff of Sonoma county,
receiving reply that the lots were
inaccessible, and that he was sending
Froom a newspaper clipping dealing
with the matter. Chief Froom inter
viewed BiXby at the hotel yesterday
and then went to see County Attorney
f. J. Capell. When he returned to the
hotel BiXby had checked out and gone.

At EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Annual Parish Meeting Brings Out
Good Report.

The annual parish meeting OF ST
James Episcopal church was held at
Guild Hall, Monday evening and was
attended by the largest assembly OF
my like meeting in the history OF the
parish, - more than double last
years. The finances and general
affairs of all departments of the
church we're also found to be in ex-
cellent shape, and the treasury OF
every organization was found to con-
tain a surplus; situation that was
most gratifying and never before
equalled. A deficit in the general ex-
penses of the church which has been
steadily declining for several years,
had been reduced to less than $50.
This sum was promptly pledged by
the officers of st. James Guild, so
that the church enters the new year
entirely free from debt, and with a
little balance in every treasury con-
nected with the parish.
The church has not only prospered
nicely in a material way, but also in
spiritual way under the guidance of
the Rector, Rev. w. p. Williams.
During the year ,twenty-seven new
members have been confirmed, and
thirteen persons have been baptized.
The attendance at all services has
showed marked increase, and the
choir has increased from II to ~
n
grown steadily during the year and
all departments of the church show
activity. During the year there have
been nine funerals and two marriage
ceremonies at the church. " "1

The Sunday School
C. A. at the Banquet of S. s. Workers Wednesday
Euening, and Published by the Request of
Those Who Heard 1t. .....

The teen age is the weakest place
of all. Anybody, almost, is ready to
teach class of boys or girls under
ten years of age, and many may be
found who will take class of men
who are willing to study and know
enough to behave themselves; but
people shy away from boys and girls
of the teen age. There are in the
Sunday schools three girls of that age
to one boy, and statistics prove that
there are nearly as many boys in the
world as girls Why aren't the boys
there? We must interest the men
first, they hold the key to the situation
Our national public school statistics
show that for every three children
who arrive at the day-school age of
six, the Sunday school gets one, the
other two get away.
These are my Sunday school hopes:
First:-A church awakened to the
lOwer of the Sunday school.
Second:--As many boys as girls of
the teer age.
Fourth:-Men teachers for boys.
Fifth:-Trained teachers.
The Sunday school is the best
church-builder of the age, ninety-five
per cent of our ministers come from
the Sunday school and eighty per cent
of all who join our churches by con-
fession come through the Sunday
school, 1t is also fact that only
about forty per cent of those who
are in our schools are saved; twenty
per cent while they are in the school
and twenty per cent after they get
out. Another fact to remember
four out of every five who have joined
the Protestant churches in the Unit
ed States during the last ten years
have come up through the Sunday
school,
Who can measure the opportunities
of a faithful and efficient teacher? In
all our church work there is no place
| I know of, where can be found SO
rich a field to the havest as can be
found with the boys and girls OF our
Sunday schools. Whatever makes us
strong in that place makes us strong
in every place; for every Sunday
school which is strong in grown up
people, especially in men, is going
to be strong in boys.
