GOOD DUCkING IN IOWA.

At the Lone Tree celebration was
seen and enjoyed a decidedly novel
way OF taking in the dimes, with not
much possibility OF anything in re-
turn. y couple OF young men of that
vicinity had five ducks III small wire
enclosure and a lot of wooden hoops
about five inches in diameter. the
boys put up ten cents ana had three
chances to throw a hoop over duck 5
neck. Every time duck was hoped
the hooper got his choice OF duck or
80 cents. All day and evening crowd
surrounded the stand and all the time
somebody was throwing the hoops. Oc-
casionally. a rare occasionally, some
body hoped a duck. A couple took
The ducks. and then the boys had to
hunt for more ducks. But they lost few
ducks and few half dollars, Every
body seemed TO be pleased TO spend
few dimes The ducks stand with their
bill tips just little lower tran the
place where their ears should he and

hoop miss the bill tip or the top Of the

o,sREpUrABLE SCHOOL HOUSES.

A business man had few words to
say of school houses, school districts
and school teachers last evening. He
had looked over one school house near
Marshalltown and concluded that while
it would be sufficient shelter for cattle
or pigs 1t is no place to send children
or to expect school ma'am TO work
in. His description included pretty
nearly everything a school house ought
not to be. According to his descrtp-
of almost com Iete dilaplda alton. Holes
in the roof, clapboards gone. doors
gone wrong, windows neding repairs,
coal house doors hanging on desperate
ly by one hinge, a home for children
and teacher one third Of the day which
compares unfavorably With the pros
porous farmers hog house. He won"
dered how it is possible to induce
,teacher to accept and keep school like
this.

Some difficulty attaches to procur-

rural schools. The fact 10 that the
rural school school is used by most
teachers as step ladder to the vesti-

Winston Salem board OF trade. The
course is foundation. course in the
principles of economics and govern
ment. but with special reference to the
industrial, commercial, and agricul-
tural problems of the United States,
particularly the southern states.
Next Juvenile club" was organ
lied among the boys. in connection
with the board of trade, the purpose
being to have the boys check up their
theoretical knowledge gained in school
with the practical, every day problems
of an industrial center, such as VIM
ston Salem is Boys IN the club were
granted all the privileges OF regular
board Of trade members, except voting.
They were allowed to take part in de-
bate and were assigned to committee
work Before entering the club they
took the "Athenian CATH, whereby
they promised allegiance to the highest
ideals of civic righteousness Tor their
city.
One of the first tasks assigned the
boys was to assist in the industrial
survey of Winston Salem which the
board OF trade is making. Students
who had been specializing In th-
economics and government department
Of the high school were chosen for this
work. In this way they are getting
first hand knowledge OF organized IN
dustrial efforts in its relation to the
welfare of the community.
