NELLIE WALKER
CETSC0MMISSI0N
FORMER MOUITON, IA, GIRL TO
MODEL STATUE OF CHIEF
kEOkUk.

Keokuk, Jan. 14.-To Miss Nellie
Walker of Chicago, is given the COM
mission to erect the statue Of CHIEF
Keokuk. Miss Walker Is a pupil OF
dorado Taft and an artist who has
demonstrated her very unusual ability
by the execution of many important
commissions. ..,.....
Many Keokuk people have seen the
Stratton memorial in Colorado Springs
which is the work OF Miss walker.
The marble figure Her Son" which
has a prominent place in the main
corridor of the Art Institute In Chi
cago is by Miss Walker.
Miss Walker is former Moulton
girl, a member of the D. A. r. and OF
the P. E. O. sisterhood which Will
cause many people to feel an interest
in the artist personally.
From the wax figures submitted to
the D. A. RS the one chosen ls OF
Chief Keokuk wearing a war bonnet
of feathers and having blanket drap-
ed over one shoulder, wearing about
his neck the necklace of elk's teeth
which he always wore and bearing
in his hand the pipe Of peace.
The thought which the artist wishes
to express is that while Chief Keokuk
was a warrior-the chief of war
like tribe, yet he came to the early
settlers of this city in peace. He was
very unlike Black Hawk who seldom
If ever carried the pipe Of peace.
Through this peaceful attitude of
Keokuk the half-breed tract on which
this city stands came into possession
of the white settlers.
The facial expression will be copied
from the portraits Of Keokuk, the best
one being in the Smithsonian Institute
in Washington. The statue will be
in bronze, eight feet high. Miss
Walker conferred with Hamlin Gar
land who has much knowledge OF the
pecularities in dress Of the various
indian tribes and from him received
a number of suggestions.
The completion of the statue will
be a matter in which every Keokuk
citizen should take pride.

Meqalosaurus and Iguanodon.

AT the period in the history of the
world when the ocean swarmed with
such monsters as the Ichthyosaurus
the land was tenanted by huge croco-
dile-like lizards. These are reptiles
provided with feet; while those in
habiting the sea were partly like fish
es, and had paddles to enable them to
swim. The largest of the land spe-
cies was the Iguanodon, so called be-
cause it resembled in structure, and in
the character of it's teeth, the Iguana,

AMERICAN HIGH SCHOOL At
TENDANCE.
Or. Ciaxton, Commissioner of Educa
tion, Makes Estimate for Country.

ZION, wakes Estimate Tor country.
More than a million and quarter
boys and girls will attend the Ameri-
can high schools, public and private,
during the school year 1928, ac-
cording to the estimate of DIR. p. P.
ClaXton. United States commissioner
of education.
DIR. ClaXton has been assured by
Alexander Summers, statstician of the
bureau, who has made special study
of the matter, that the estimate IS
conservative. OF the number given
100000 are estimated for the public
high schools. and 15o,O00 for the priv
ate secondary schools.
The American high school has
grown phenomenally in the past dozen
years. its development in the last two
or three years being apparently great
er than in the remarkable decade just
preceding. Since the twentieth cen
fury opened the number of public high
schools has almost doubled and the
number of students is easily twice
what it was at the beginning.
The most cheering feature of the
whole matter for the American citizen
is the great increase in the proportion
of those who go from the grades into
the high school. 1t is said formerly
the high school was chiefly attended
by children of the rich and moderately
Well-todo. Today nearly one fourth
of the children who enter the ele-
mentary school eventually pass into
the high school. This is particularly
significant, since certain critics of the
public high schools have, through 4
misunderstanding of the official re-
ports, contended that a much smaller
percentage had the opportunity of
high school training The fact re-
mains that from twenty-five To twen-
ty-five of every hundred children who
enter the schools at all so on into the
high school.
Almost equally significant for public
education is the fact that by far the
most rapid growth has beea in the
public high schools. The private sec
ondary schools show healthy in
crease-25 per cent. in attendance
since 1900: but the public high schools
have actually doubled their attend
ance in the same period. To make the
comparison on another basis: In 1880
forty out of every hundred high
schools were private, and sixty public;
in 1900 the proportion had changed to
twenty three and seventy seven; and
today there are only sixteen private
secondary schools for every eighty four
public high schools. AS to number of
students: In 1890, thirty-two per cent.
of the pupils We're in private high
schools and sixty eight per cent, in
public: today only twelve per cent Of
the pupils are in private secondary
schools. the great bulk eighty eight
per cent? being in the public high
schools.

FRIDAY NIGHTS FIRE.
Slight Blaze in kehoe's Bakery-Nar-
row Escape from Bad One.

An alarm from Box Sc was rung in,
at 11.06, Friday evening, brought
the department to the scene of a
slight blaze in Kehoe's bakery, No. 1924
Water street. Mr.. Kehoe came down
to put his brown bread in the oven
about 1885, and upon approaching the
shop discovered smoke coming out OF
the building. When he entered the
front entrance, he found the interior
filled with smoke.
The Cain family up over the ball-
cry was his first thought and he
aroused them. and then sent a tele-
phone call to the Cushnoc hose house.
In the meantime the night crew of
the Journal force was notified and
one of the Night Owls" grabbed an
extinguisher and hurried to the scene,
keeping the fire under control until
Chief Buckley and Hose No. ] ar
rived.
After using chemicals for a few
minutes. the chief pulled in Box SO,
calling Hose No. and the Hook and
Ladder truck. A stream of water soon
cooked the blaze.
The fire originated behind a bread
trough, next to the oven, the cause be-
ing unknown. Damage not yet esti-
mated.
Mr.. Kehoe, by permission of his
insurance man, c. T.. Downing, kept
on with his work and the brownbread
will be ready for the beans, as usual.
