has the power to designate two prop
er officers to act. In ex parte cases,
the decision of the register and re-

recommendation to their superior
officer than a judgment, and the

THE BENTON SEMINARY.

The Benton Seminary will close
the 1912 term of school this week.
1t goes without saying that this
has been the most successful term
taught at this well known school
in several years, and the enroll
ment of boarding students was an
eye-op9ner to those who opposed
the plan of putting the teachers on
a straight salary basis.
Those patrons who are interested
in the welfare of the school are
highly pleased with the work of
the principal, G. y. Moore, and his
efficient assistants, B. ID. johnson
and Mr.. and Mrs. W. A. Woods,
intermediate and primary teachers,
and Misses Alice Lee >Denslow and
Ola Mcdaniel, expression and mu-
sic teachers, The large enrolment
of pupils has kept well up, and the
pupils deserve great praise for the
interest manifested in their work.
Much credit for this is due to the
thorough and painstaking work Of
Professor Moore, who received his
educational training in an institu-
tion where "Thoroughness" has al
ways been a motto.
Professors Moore and johnson
will not be in the school next year.
The former declined the principal
ship again, as it is his intention, we
understand, to enter the University
of the South at Sewanee. Profess
sor Johnson has some very fatter-
ing offers. but is yet undecided as
to where he will teach next year.

Men outnumber women in Iowa.
The census bureau announces figures
on the relatives number of males
and females in the country In the
country at large by the last census
there were 47,332,277 males to A.
63S,9S9 females This means 1O6
males to every 100 females. In
Iowa there are 1,14S,171 males to
1,076,600 females. That is there
are 1865 males to 100 females, the
preponderance of males being a
little above the average of the whole
country. 1t is noticeable, however,
that the preponderance offmales in
Iowa is declining. In 1900 the pro-
portion of males to- females in Iowa
was 10 males to 1876. The pre-
ponderance of males seemingly is
the greatest in states having large
immigration from Europe. a,
