D COUNTY, IOWA. TUESDAY. AUGUST TO- 1912
An Open Letter.

To Common School Graduates and
Others:
| should like to urge you by all
means to continue your school work.
We are now living in an age when an
education is absolutely essential to
success in life. whether you expect to
be farmer, merchant, housewife,
or what not The men and women of
the past generation were able to sue
ceed with only smattering of the
education you already have because
they were competing with those whose
education was no better. But to-day
hundreds of your competitors will be
college graduates, and you will need
to have unusual native genius in order
to cope successfully with them without
a foundation equally as strong.
The great state of Iowa has recog-
nized the need of educating it's future
citizens, especially, the boy and girl on
the farm, consequently they have
made it possible for you to continue
your work through high school at the
expense of the district. 1t so happens
that at your very doors is located one
of the best high schools in the Middle
West. The Cresco High School is on.
the fully accredited list of the North
Central Association of Schools and
Colleges. the highest rank that can be
conferred upon any high school in the
United States. Our graduates are
admitted without examination to any
college or university in the Middle
West. Cresco has also been desig-
mated as one of the State Normal
Training High Schools, so that our
normal graduates receive certificate
that ranks even higher than the first
grade uniform county certificate.
Seven regular teachers, all college
graduates and specialists in their line,
besides four special teachers, make up
the high school faculty. With our
splendid new building, our we'll
equipped laboratories in physics, chem
istry, agriculture, zoology, botany, do
mestic science and manual training,
and our library of over two thousand
volumes, we are able to offer you
every opportunity to succeed in your
work.
Cresco is a city of pleasant homes
and Christian environment. We have
splendid lot of pupils already en-
rolled, and our high school is noted for
the spirit of fellowship that exists be-
tween pupils and teachers. The latter
do all they can to help their pupils
develop into manly men and noble
women. We shall be glad to have you
with us, next year. School starts
September End. You cannot afford to
miss this golden opportunity.
Sincerely yours,
H. L. NEARPASs, Supt.

Des Moines Republicans for Wilson.

|
An Iowa Progressive Republican
Wilson club to support Governor vii
son, democratic candidate for the presi
dency, in the coming campaign in pref
! erence to both Taft and Roosevelt
was organized at meeting of Det
Moines republicans Saturday of last
week.
4 The meeting was held at the Vel.
lington hotel and F. M. Keithley, 6
young attorney. acted as sec
retary. A second meeting to perfect
permanent organization and elect
officers selected DR.. S. S. Still a.
president, with full corps of officers
and developed membership of 20(
republicans who are pledged to support
Woodrow Wilson, but who will remain
republicans.
Many members of the organization
are progressives who resent Roose-
velt's treatment of Senator Cummins,
La Toilette, Governor Hadley and 9th
er progressive leaders at the republi.
can convention. They point out the
fact that the progressives could have
controlled the republican party and
secured the nomination of one of their
leaders if Roosevelt had not been stub
bornly determined that he should be
the leader.
"Since Senator Cummins has refused
to endorse either Taft or Teddy and
stated that the result of the Chicago
convention left every man free to use
his own judgment, many republicans
have decided that they prefer Gov.
Wilson's record of things done better
than Teddy's record of things said, .
said MIR. Keithley.

Teddy, and thirteen for Wilson, sever
al of the Wilson voters stating that
