FIRST SCHOOLS IN IOWA.

The first school within the limits
of the present state of Iowa was a
private school taught in Lee county
in 1880 by Bergman Jennings, ac-
cording to Mr. G. r. Aurner, who is
preparing history of education in
Iowa under the direction of the state
historical society of Iowa The first
school house in Iowa, so far as is
known. was built at Dubuque in 1888,
and the first teacher was George
Cubbage. A school was opened at
burlington at about this same time
and building was erected in 1884.
After that time schools multiplied
rapidly in number as settlers poured
into the Iowa country. But. strange
as 1t may seem, it was not until 1858
that the system of free public schools,
supported by general property taxa
ton. was established Before that
time the schools were supported by
the so-called subscription method. the
entire expense being paid by those
who patronized the schools.

FOREST FIRES

Inc department of agriculture has
been figuring up the losses by fires
on the national forests for the calen-
dar year 1912. and finds that they
We're the lowest Of recent years. Less
than one acre to every thousand OF
timbered lands was burned over, ana
the total damage is estimated at s75,-
$50, or less than one dollar to every
1000 acres OF area
The good record is attributed to,
first, favorable weather conditions in
most localities. and seconc, the In
creased efficiency of the fire-fghting
organization. As congress makes
available the means for extending the
system of communications on the ma
tional forests, the equipment of trails,
roads telephones, and lookout sta
tons is yearly enlarged and the fires,
It is said, are discovered more quick
ly and fought more rapidly,
An especially good showing was
made by the forest officers last year
in extinguishing fires outside he ma
tional forests before they reached the
forest boundaries. Such fires consti-
tuted more than one-sixth Of all fought
by the forest rangers and guards.
About nlne-tenths we're extinguished
before they touched the forests. OF
the fires within the forest boundaries
more than IS per cent were on lanes

the order given. The greatest losses
occurred in Arizona, Arkansas and
California in which states there was
also the largest proportion OF fires

fires we're started by lightning, and
about 80 per cent were due to care

was practically the same as in the

BAD HOUSING.

| Gary's most fragrant examples in
bad housing are to be found in a
score or more of barrack like shacks,
each about eighteen feet wide, 100
long, and one low story in height.
Two typical shacks, separated by a
narrow passage way into which the
doors of the apartments opened,
contained eight apartments each, two
Iof the sixteen being unoccupied In
the twenty-eight rooms no less than
sixty people lived In most cases the
family has two or three boarders ad-
ditional; and not infrequently one
nnds group of single men keeping
bouse-such as it is-by themselves.
Two-room apartments rented for
Sc to SO month. The average would
certainly not be lower than $3.50. One
shack contained seven apartments at
this figure. and small space at the
end which was rented as a saloon at
$50 month. When wholly occupied,
the monthly rental would thus total
$3.50, and amount to $1,000 in a
year. At liberal estimate the con-
struction of the shack could not have
exceeded sl,700 and the cost of the
lot $500. On the total of this invest
ment, therefore, the income was ap-
proximately so per cent year. Even
# some of the space was for varying
periods unoccupied, the return would
certainly be good" Other shacks,
containing eight apartments each,
renting at Sc apiece, cost, according
to the owners statement, about ST.
500; contractor stated that he would
be glad to build one like it for s1,45o,
and another estimate was still lower.
With all the apartments filed, the
total rental per year would be S575.
In both of these typical cases no &C
count has been taken of the amounts
the tenants charged their boarders.
few of Gary's more public spirit
ed people feel the reproach which
these conditions reflect on her civic
life. Not many share the point OF
view of one owner who, when asked
PIT the city authorities we're requiring
better conditions in the shacks, said,

Doctor Shaffer, AS an Elk

The following eulogy was delivered
at the last meeting of the local Elks
lodge when the death of DR.. J. M.
Shaffer was announced, the doctor
being an honorary member of the
lodge and one OF the oldest members
of the order in the United States,
both In length of membership and in
age:
Now and then-alas too seldom-we
meet in this world. true Elk, real
member OF our order. man who in
his daily life, his work, his play, his
Joy or his sorrow, lives up to the
teachings Of Elkdom, whose motto is
the Golden Rule, one who makes the
name Of Elk as bourn by him worthy
of its true synonym One who Loves
his Fellow Man
And, now and then-alas too often
when we discover sucn a brother
and become bound to him by the
chains Of friendship. he is stricken
before we have appreciated his good
ness; before We have known him well
enough.
Recall each and every Elk you have
known. Remember the brothers you
have met. Living or dead. can you
speak the name of one who, as an
Elk, can compare with our departed
bro. her, DR.. j. M. Shaffer?
