consolidation was then discuss
ed from the standpoint of the tax
payer by Mr.. Benjamin Jaycox.
That it does not mean increased
cost, and the need of getting more
children Of the same grade together
to arouse interest by competition,
were two of the many arguments in
it's favor.
Mr.. Lamb, a patron who had just
moved up from Story county with
seven children, felt personally the
need of county and even state uni
formity of text books. He also rais-
ed the question of why beginners in
reading are not taught to SPELL Mrs.
A. r. Gardiner was next called up
on, and congratulated herself upon
having left her paper at home, be-
cause she must answer Mr.. Lamb.
She then explained new primary
work methods, and the facVsa-s--r
reading is getting the thoughL out
of the sentence, not the ability to
spell the words in it.
Rev. Walter Metcalf, pastor Of
the Congregational church at Blairs-
burg, then discussed ably, The Re-
lation of the School and the
Church" Since the church and the
school are both working for the
same object, the betterment of the
child, the leaders of the church and
the teachers>in the school should be
united in their work and not criti-
cize each other. The teacher should
teach reverence and the pastor
should help the teacher along school
lines.

Blairsburg high school, then pre-
sented scholarly paper on "The
Recitation" The lecture on "The
New Education" by Mr.. Herman F.
Harris of Iowa Falls was exception
ally fine. He wishes the develop
ment of the whole child and leaned
toward manual training
The duet by Misses Loban and
Jaycox deserves special mention.
Earnest enthusiasm and determin-
alton characterized this all-day ses-
sion Cooperation was the keynote
expressed definitely in consolidation
and gradation.

TALK OF BUILDING
dam ACROSS RlViR
0. H. Hensel and Farmers Northwest
Of the City Behind the
Movement.

There is talk of daming Boone
river northwest of Webster City. 0.
III. Hensel, who resides ON the old F.
A. Harris place and owns the site Of
the old Harris mill, together with a
number of acres of land in that vi
cinity, is considering the matter Of
erecting a dam to supply power for
electricity. He says he has talked
with number of farmers in the
neighborhood about the matter and
that all are favorably impressed. 1t
is proposed to build dam just north
of the present Harris bridge. The
dam would be twelve or fifteen feet
high and Mr., Hensel says there
would be large reservoir to take
care of the needs of the electric plant
during dry seasons. If the scheme
materializes 1t is the purpose of the
projectors to organize stock COM
pany and to furnish electricity to
farmers for light and power and to
furnish some of the smaller towns
with electricity, such as Woodstock
and Highview. Nothing definite has
been done vet but the matter is be-
ing considered and may develop into
reality.

alive and growing by persistent, or

The hospitality extended by the

of the day was genuine. Those ar

We're entertained for both dinner
and supper at the residents homes.
The morning session, was held in
the school house and the afternoon
at the church. The attendance was
very good, the church being filled.
Many patrons were present, and
very many pupils. The only lack of
attendance was on the part of the
younger rural teachers who, perhaps,
did not realize the nature and value
of what they were missing.
The forenoon session began at II

of her arguments for gradation
was the need of uniformity, that
children may change from one
school to another or change teach

was the need always Of definite
