Boost for Cresco.

The teachers of our public school
who are members of the entertainments
committee for the Big Five meeting.
report that they are having rather
poor success in securing entertainment
for the visiting teachers. 1t has been
several years since this meeting was
held in Cresco. There is usually an
attendance of about five hundred and
it means big thing for the education
al interests of the community to have
this meeting in our midst.
When we invited the Association here
we were confident that the people of
Cresco would join with US in giving the
visiting teachers taste of good, old
fashioned hospitality. Decorah wanted
the meeting held there this year, but
we succeeded in convincing the COM
mittee that our claims were superior.
Under the circumstances we dare not
fail When such towns as Postville
and Calmar succeed in handling a
crowd of five hundred nicely, it ought
to be an easy matter in city like
Cresco. We are confident that when
the people of Cresco realize the stu
alton they will be only too glad to open
their homes and make our visitors feel
welcome. All we ask is lodging and
breakfast for as many as you can con-
veniently take. Miss Virginia Nichols
is chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee, and if you have not already
agreed to take some one please let her
know at once how many you entertain.
Another thing we are asking is that
all those owning automobiles in or
around Cresco will please loan us their
cars either Friday afternoon from 4:30
to 900, or Saturday noon from 1900 to
200. We are anxious to show the
visitors the beauty of our little city
and prove to them that Cresco is the
gem of Northeastern Iowa. Miss Mary
Westby is chairman OF the Booster
Committee Please tell her that you
will send or bring your car to the
Methodist church corner either Friday
or Saturday as you prefer. Thanking
you.

Placed On Farms.

Des Moines.-An Iowa farm, in the
opinion of Solon c. Vial. state agent
for the Industrial School for Boys at
Eldora, is the best place in the world
tor the saving of youngsters who
have got started wrong in the cities
and have landed in the reform
schools. These boys,' said Mr..
Vial, frequently come to us from the
poorer homes in the cheap rent dis
tricts OF our cities. Having beer
born in an atmosphere of moral i'm
purity and brought up in the associa
tion of idle people there is little won
der that they play truant from school
and are incorrigible what time they
60, or even get to stealing. 1t is quite
logical in their career that they be
come inmates of the industrial
school.
Boys are committed until they
are 21 years Of age, but are released
on parole when they have acquired
certain number of merit marks, te
earn which requires minimum tims
Of fourteen months, however, as per
ASSIAOA 10 SCAUOW oIldlu0U Iu0 aver

two years. Here they are given the
best possible training, both moral and
manual, and are sent to school until
they complete the common schools
course. They are taught habits Of
cleanliness and are we'll clothed and
we'll fed, so that they soon desire the
better things Of life and invariably
leave our school determined to make
good. At present we are placing
these boys on farms where they can
have the care and association of re.
sponsible men. We have about fifty
boys on farms who are earning from
ss to $35 per month and are giving
entire satisfaction. For the younger
boys we require only clothes, care
and education in return for their
services, but for those who are older
We consider it advisable to agree to
wage and allow the boy to purchase
what is necessary"
