Des Moines, Jan. 20.-State Super
intendent Deyoe- makes the following
statement in regard to the evident
misa apprehension among the school
people of the state as TO some phases
of the report Of the better school COM
mission:
No one is making any effort TO
force consolidation of schools 70 my
knowledge. Our present Law proviu-
ing for the organization OF consoli-
dated. districts is one OF the best in
the United States. What we do need
is to adopt some uniform plan of state
AID to consolidated schools and town
graded schools based upon the course
OF study which shall include indus
trial or vocational subjects, kind Of
school building and equipment, number
of months OF school and qualifications
OF teachers employed. Minnesota
adopted this plan and in one year nifty
consolidated schools were formed.
VIII Solve Teacher Problem.
The consolidated school vii! help
solve the teacher problem by requiring
a less number of teachers and making

Russell Sage Foundation. Iowa stands
nearly at the foot OF the list in aver

roads altogether is merely an excuse.
To p;Si, Gu; two uT three weeks in the
spring when roads are usually bad anu
then arriving at the conclusion that
consolidation is impossible is unfair.
Spring is the time OF the year when
schools are generally closed because
the reads are too muddy for chl!cren
TO walk to school. Why is 1t that IN
districts where consolidated schools
have been established that we do not
hear objection to consolidation: Inc
farmers as a rule EiD live in consoii-
dated districts :andat the greatest
distance from school would not con-
sent to returning to" the one-room

such consolidated districts as Marathon
and Newell, renters offer to pay fifty
cents an acly tiiore rent because of
the better school advantages:

live in these districts where, it IL posl

favor of the farm instead OF trying to

of the one-room school?

years ago as the basis. and expects II
to be ready for presentation at an early

Of the most important before the les
islature. The senator from Dickinson
desires that there shall be public hear
ings on the bill and that they shall be
held early so that if there are legiti-
mate objections to the measure as pro-
posed they may be considered and be
changed.
Danger in Legislation.
EX- Representative Fulton, of Fair
field. who was here a few days ago and
discussed the matter with some mem
bers, calls attention to the fact that
in scne Of the bills that have hither-
to been considered there is great dan
ger of doing harm to other interests.
one thing these Legislators must bear

extensive manufacturer and shipper

Representative Enger, of Winnie
shiek county, will urge before the leg
islasure that the state provide closed
season for prairie chickens and quail
fer a period of five years. He says
there is much desire that this be done
in some of the northern Iowa coun-
ties, and the belief is that If this was
done there would be a permanent in
crease in the number of these birds in
the state.

With standing orders, some Of which
are as much as ten days old. for cars In
every direction. the freight offices are
forced to hold some of their business
and keep the empty cars in motor
toward the seat of the demand. Great
shipments of grain and cattle from the
west, fruit from the south and mer.
chandise from the north are drawing
on the supply of cars until the situa'
ton is rather perplexing.
Fruit Shipments Damaged.
A number of cars of fruit which have
arrived in the city within the past week
show the effects of the recent cold
weather, a large amount having beer
either frozen or badly frosted.
The freezing took place while the car:
were travelling thru Missouri with in
sufficient warmth being generated
from the small heaters. which take the
place of ice in the refrigerator cars
during the winter.
Problem Of Heating Cars.
The problem of properly heating cars
is one with which the railroads have
been battling for years. The best gen.
orators which are now in use on mos'
of the roads do well in moderate
weather and when there is NOT srea'
change, but when the car passes
thru a territory where the tempera
fure is far below zero they are founo
to be insufficient.
A steam radiator system with an au-
tomato thermostat is being tried or
some of the lines and is found TO DC
considerably better than the old meth
cd altho even 1t is not infallible.

markets has diminished conslderapis
