WOMEN OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Sixty per cent of the county SUPER
fntendents in Iowa are women, ac-
cording to information elected at the
teachers state convention fl Des
Moines during the past week, II is
expected, however. that the new law
which goes into effect next year will
greatly reduce the majority now held
by the fair sex.
The new law provides that the cleo.
ton OF county superintendent shall
be taken out of the hands of the vet
ers OF the county and given over to
the presidents of the school boards
A candidate for the office is no longer
required to be resident of the conn
ty The law provides that the term
OF office shall be three years instead
OF two. and that the minimum salary
shall be s1,750. These provisions are
expected to attract many men to the
office who heretofore have considered
the salary too low and the chance Of
reelection uncertain.

THE SHORT CROP FALLAcY.

Agriculture cannot prosper unless
the community can afford to eat Its
produce. A community cannot pros
per on dear food. Therefore agricul-
ture cannot prosper on short cops.
with these words the Times Annalist
undertakes to dispose of the faIacy
that q minus crop means money
plus. That an individual may pros
ner at the expense OF his community
and that one class of people may find
temporary profit in the disadvantage
of another class need not be denied IN
order to disprove the contention that
short crop is more profitable than
large one. There are instances of
this seeming true by the showing OF
arithmetic, but instinct knows better.
In spite OF arithmetic, producers con-
tinually strive to increase their out

THE PERIL IN SEX TEACHING

Medical Record senses the real dan
ger in sex teaching. which is that It
will arouse prurient curiosity In the
Young and inflame desires that other
wise might long lie dormant.
ar, it says, the knowledge of sex
were confined to the essential facts
of sex and to the dangers Of Illicit
che might have no reason
able ground for Directing to this
teaching. But this knowledge Is pc
culiarly the kind that creates keen
appetite for more. One of the results
of the modern campaign of moral
,prophylaxis is the wonderfully extern
sive knowledge Of sex and its dis
orders which many Young men and
young women Of the present dav nave
lacauired. Books on these subjects
are readily accessible In many of the
public libraries. Some of the classic
authors for young ladies are Hayelock

The Scope Of the Mann Act.

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Judge Me-
Pherson. in federal court at Ottumwa
has given his views on the Mann white
slave law. In his opinion the law is
intended to punish men who transport
women from one state to another for
immoral purposes, regardless of wheth-
err the question of commercial gain is
involved or not Judge Mcpherson
takes a sensible view of the scope OF
the Mann act. Most of the male rakes
who are arrested for lewdness claim
they are not white slavers in the
commonly accepted sense of the term
they say that their crime is merely a
matter of personal conduct in which
the girl or woman is as much to blame
as themselves.
1t is true that they are not engaged
for monetary reward in a traffic in
women. But that doesn't make them
deserving Of consideration Let man
be decent and he will not find himself
up against the Mann act or any other
criminal statute.
The plea is made that the Mann act
lets the woman. in such case, go free
while the man is punished. Even thai
is not much to worry about The WON
an in the case SO long has been given
the worst of 1t, the man in nine cases
out of ten being welcomed into so
ciety's open arms, that it will be only
a case of justice righting itself IL the
tables are turned.
The Mann act seems TO be a very
good aid to decency.

THE KINGDOM or HOME.
Dark is the night and fitful and drear
lily
Rushes the wind like the waves OF
the sea;
Little care I as here I sing cheerily
wife at my side and my baby on
knee.
King, king, crown me the king
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the
King.
Flashes the freight upon the dear
faces,
Bearer and dearer as onward we
Forces the shadow behind us and
places
Brightness around us with warmth
in the glow.
King, king, crown me the king,
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the
King.
Flashes the lovelight increasing the
glory,
Beaming from bright eyes the
warmth of the soul,
Telling of trust and content the sweet
story,
Lifting the shadows that over US
roll.
King, king, crown me the king,
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the
King.
Richer than miser witt, perishing
treasure,
Served with a service no conquest
could bring,
Happy with fortune that words cannot
measure,
Light hearted on the hearthstone
can sing;
King, king, crown me the king!
Home is the Kingdom and Love is the
King.
