IOWA COLLEGES.


In homes all over Iowa preparations
now are making to start hundreds OF
young men and women on their college
career Within six weeks every educa-
tional institution &c I'll. state will be
in session.
Few states, at least in the middle
west, offer as good facilities for higher
educa ton as Iowa. Not only are the
institutions small enough to do the
best work, but the number of colleges
is large. Some claim too large. But
there is at least one good point In
the number of institutions. and that is
the stiff competition which keeps the
colleges on the advance.
Iowa has more than a score of rec
ognized colleges, and no home In the
state is much more than fifty miles
from an institution of higher learning.

dense growth of timothy will nearly,
