grees too cold for peaches. Black.
berries and raspberries went into

may not be so badly top killed.
Strawberries never wintered better;
heavy coat of snow and steady
cold is just what they need, though
the strawberry crop will be light on
account of the small acreage. Owing
to the extreme dry weather Of last
summer new planted fields dried out
Our general fruit crop is not assured
yet. AS the darkey said, He noticed

SCHOOL PROBLEMS
Meeting Of Physicians Brings Out
Many Interesting Theories
BINE1 TEST is DISCUSSED
Dr.. Dorr Advocates Sanitary Systems
for All Of the Schools and Lauds
Excellent Work Done BY
the Visiting Doctor.

Des characterization of school
buildings, medical inspection OF
school children, and system OF tests
in order to determine whether child
is deficient>or not, were topics discus
sed by the Polk County Medical as
ISOLATION at its monthly meeting
The matter of the Binet test prob
ably created the most discussion
This is a test which is applied to
children from the time they are UP
to the time they are Is or 16 years
old. If a child is normal he is able
to answer certain questions.
For instance, at the age of 4 years
he should be able to tell whether he
is boy or girl. At the age OF &
he ought to be able to tell whether
q person is pretty or ugly. These
tests with notifications to suit the
age of the child are carried on for
number of years.
This discussion was occaSlOned by
the paper prepared by DR.. F. p. ELY
on the subject. The Binet Test for
Mental Deficiency and the Need OF
Jngraded Classes" Wherever pos
sible DR.. Ely thought ungraded class
cs should be the rule.
Superintende nt Riddel] discussed
question OF ungraded classes and said
that parents objected to having chill
dren who were only 10 to II per cent
deficient put into classes with those
who were 80 to 40 per cent deficient
Dr. Ely suggested that the subnormal
pupils be put in classes called spe
cialized classes.
DR.. f. E. Dorr read a paper on the
subject Of school sanitation and the
medical treatment of the children
He advocated sanitary systems for all
Of the schools and spoke of the work
done by the visiting doctors in some
Of the larger cities whose duty it was
to examine the pupils.

The average yearly output of the

output in Polk county is $4,000 tons.
For mining this amount of coal the

the coal from the vein to the consum.
er brings the cost figures over the
100000 mark. Mr.. Stamm figures
practically all of this money is spent
In Des Moines. Hence shutdown OF

100000.
In the state the average mine run
