What are these things OF which |

upon the curriculum Of every school

for the youth of the state?
Every track event, race above the

the quarter mile race which calls fol

everything Of the class or kind. These
things are not educational, not de-

inhumane.
In all these races, above 220 yards
the boys reach the line completely
exhausted, every cell and fibre OF
every tissue In his body has been
/ called upon to give It's last unit OF

driven to the extreme limit OF their

lungs and hemorrhages occur Many

EREE TUITION.

The Iowa State Teachers College at
Cedar Falls proposes to admit free OF
tuition for the college year 1913-l914
all students who are preparing for
teaching in country schools. This will
include all persons desiring to prepare
for the examination for county uni
form certificates and all others who
are enrolled in the general normal
course and the vocational normal
course offered at this institution.
This change In policy has been
adopted in order to give an open door
to all persons who are willing to be
come country school teachers. Since
the minimum wage law will insure bet
ter salaries, the state teachers college
will cheerfully cooperate in doing al
1T can to increase the efficiency of all
such teachers. Appointment to receive
these advantages is obtainable from
the superintendent of the county
where the student resides.

Recently the high schools through
out the country have taken great in,
terest in. and much enthusiasm has
been aroused over the subject OF ath-
letics. Only few years ago tbs
events were limited to base ball ano
foot ball. Basket ball, track features
vaulting, jumping, discus throwing,
swimming and other features have
more recently been added to the list.
The true theory of the education ID
the development OF all the faculties
Of the student whether mental or
physical, and the prevailing notion is
that athletics contributes toward this
end. and particularly, that the phys.
cal side Of the man Is strengthened
and fitted for greater endurance IN
after life by the athletic training now
recognized in the curricule of the
leading high schools and colleges
throughout the country.
To this general theory no except
ions can be taken, only in certain es-
sential features can criticism be o.
fered.

Old Harvard Chief
Opposes Married Teachers

DR.. Charles w. Eliot. president
emeritus of Harvard university, is not
only opposed to the employment OF
married women as school teachers but
he believes that young women should
not be employed as teachers more
than five years, according to letter
addressed by him to Abraham Stern,
chairman of the committee on ele-
mentary schools Of the board of edu-
|cation, and made public yesterday by
the board Dr. Eliot also expresses
the belief that the employment of men
teachers should be constantly in
creased.
Mr.. Stern's committee handled the
case of Mrs. Bridget c.. Peixotto, a
teacher. Her case has attracted wide
atetntion, she having married after
becoming teacher. The committee
ion elementary schools passed a reso
luton fayoring the dismissal Of Mrs
Peixotto, and the board of education
will pass upon the case in September

How to Sleep Cool.

Stern asked DIR. Eliot, as one of the
country's mos. distinguished educa-
tors, for his opinion upon the employ
ment of married women as teachers.
Dr. Eliot's reply was as follows:
Il have read the paper signed by
you on the employment of married
women in the public schools from the
hall of the board of education of New
York city June 10, 1913, and agree in
general with It's conclusion.
TN my opinion the employment OF
married women in the schools is not
for the interest of the community that
young women should in practice work
as teachers more than FIVE years on
the average. Within that time the
great majority of normal school grad.
yates can make an ample return for
their education at public expense. TIC
this practice there would always be
valuable exceptions.
ut follows from these premises tina,
the proportion Of male teachers in the
public schools should be increased
whatever the necessary cost"

CAMDEN, N. J. July 31.-Taxpayers
and citizens were given an opportunity
today at special town meeting to dis

it over the blanket. Set the electric
fan SO that it will blow fairly stiff
blast acros the bed or cot Lie down
on the sheet, and you will soon be
sound asleep.
Now for the reason. the doctor
went on. at is not the hot blast from
the fan that cools you. The fan sets
the air In motion and gives appre-
cable relief. But what thoroughly
cools you Is the evaporation from the
sprinkled sheet with the warm blast
blowing over it. And the warmer the
air from the fan the swifter will be
the evaporation and the greater the
coclaess.
Here is an illustration that all
persons having to do with explosive
vapor motors in automobiles or mo-
torboats will understand. The one
part of these motors that always is
cold Is the pipe from the carbureter
or mixing valve to the cylinders. In
most of these machines the cylinder
exhaust is close to the vapor intake.
In some machines the exhaust, within
a few inches Of the vapor intake. is
SO hot that drop of water on 1t will
hiss, yet the intake is cold while the
machine is running. 1t is made cold
by the rapid vaporizing OF the gaso-
line Water vaporizes not so rapidly
but a warm blast from an electric
fan on a damn sheet, whatever, the
Temperature Of the room, will produce
la degree of GOODNESS through eyapora
ton that will be perhaps more thar
that desired.
1T is simply" the doctor concluded
making a mild form of refrigeratine
plant of your bed or cot. 1t cools no
only the person, but lowers the tenn
iperature of the entire room. The cos
of operating it is about the same a:
that of keeping an ordinary electro

Grinnell Herald: His name was
Skaggs. He burglarized store and
got penitentiary sentence. He was
paroled. AS he was an Iowa convict
the terms of his parole forbade him to
leave the state He went home to the
town where he was known as paroled
burglar Opportunities for honest la
Dor were denied him because he YVES
convict. He left his home town in
southwestern Iowa and wandered
around in search OF work. But the
name was too well known and little
opportunity offered. In desperation
he violated his parole, crossed the riv-
er to Omaha, left his old name on
Iowa soil, took an assumed name and
got a job.
He made good His employer was
pleased and gave him a better place.
He still made good and in few
months was put in charge of an impor-
tant department of the business where
responsibility was great, but he still
made good.
By and by he married-under his as.
suned name. Then came a day when
he wanted to visit his mother who
lived in ST. Joseph. 1t was fatal day
for him.. His presence was made
known to the Iowa Board of Parole
who arrested him and committed hin
to Fl. Madison His employer put VI
a strong plea for Skaggs. He did no
know he was convict until he wal
arrested. HIS employers appeal wa
in vain He wanted to retain Skagg
in the position where he had kept faitl

He is no longer skaggs. He is just
