SCHOOL NOTES

The November Colorado School
Journal Is a newsy number. In IT
the teachers are urged to attend the
meeting of the Colorado State Teach
ers' Association, to be held in Pueblo
next week. An excellent program has
been prepared. The leading speak
ers will be Dir. Edward A. Steiner,
Henry Turner Bailey and William
Chandler Bagley. These three men
are distinguished in the educational
world. Many consider Dr. Steiner
the greatest living speaker on educa-
/ tional questions. Dr. Steiner with
mis- varied experiences, is a true cos
mopolitan. OF Henry Turner Bailey,
it has been said, He does not talk
to the stars, but to men and women
and children. He makes his audi
ence see what he sees" Mr.. Bagley
is the author of many works, among
them Glass Room Management, which
is one of the greatest books dealing
with practical pedagogy.
Miss Hope Taylor is the only teach
er besides the superintendent who
win attend the State Teachers Asso-
citation. Ii is to be regretted that so
many of our teachers will miss this
excellent meeting. A large party OF
perhaps II to Is teachers, or more,
including six members of the high
school faculty. were planning to at
tend the association, but when the
railroad rates were announced the
tickets were so high and the condi-
tions so rigid that the teachers gave
up taking this enjoyable and profit
able trip.
Report comes from the high school
in Long Beach. Cal, that Miss Laura
Lee is making an excellent record.
We expected to hear this, for Miss
Lee was one of the brightest young
ladies who ever crossed the threshold
of our high school. In addition to
her natural ability, she had formed
excellent habits of application and
industry and with all. she had a
bright and sunny disposition.
At the general teachers meeting

ulations recently adopted by our
board of education. Plans were made

reviewing Bourne and Benton's His

vorable report. They consider this
book bright and attractive history
within the comprehension of seventh
and eighth grade pupils. The teach
ers were given an invitation from
Robert A. Ross, principal of the
rruitvale school, to meet at Hoels
College Tuesday evening to discuss
university extension work. The su-
perintendent thanked the teachers
for their cooperation in creating an

ROBBER OF DENTISTS.
Man Suspected of RObbing Dentists
Offices Caught At Charles City.

The party who so cleverly robb-
ed several dentistry offices at Gin
ton, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids and
other cities in the state, is believed
to be under arrest at Charles City
la. A man who is charged with
robbing the offices of a number OF
dentists at Mason City was arrest
ed at Charles City Monday by
Sheriff White at the instance OF
the authorities of Mason City. His
name is John Schulz and he repre-
scented himself at Mason City to be
travelling salesman in the en-
ploy of the Spyco Smelling and Re-
filming company of Minneapolis. Be-
tween 500 and $1,000 worth of
fine gold scraps, and filings were
secured at the Mason City offices.
Schulz is said to have called up
on a number of Mason City dentists
on Saturday, representing himself
to be a salesman On Monday, it
is stated, many of these dentists
found that they had been robbed.
After comparing notes it was de-
cided that the pseudo salesman
was the guilty party. Word was at
once sent to Charles City and
Schulz was arrested there. The
Mason City Globe-Gazette says that
only a few dentists offices were To-
Gated that Schulz had visited which
were not robbed.

POST OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED.
Once Largest City in Northern Iowa
is Steadily Declining.

Webster City, Ia, Sept. 90
The post Office department at Wash
ington has ordered the discontinue
ance Sept. 80 of the post office at
Homer. Figuratively speaking
this act throws the last shovel full
of earth on the grave of what at
one time was the largest city in
northern Iowa. Until Hamilton
and Webster counties were divided
in 1857, Homer was the county
seat of the two, then known as Yell
county.
In the early history of north
central Iowa, Homer played big
part. It's settlement antidates both
Webster City and Fort Dodge. 1t
f1ourished like a bay tree until
along in the 70's when the rail-
roads began penetrating this part
of Iowa. When the Illinois Gen.
trail came through seven miles
north of Homer and two years lat
er the Northwestern passed seven
miles south, the doom of the town
was sounded and from that day to
this, Homer has been slowly but
surely fading off the map. From
flourishing city of hardy pioneers
it has dwindled down to point
where but two stores and a black
smith shop are left in it's old bust
ness district. It's present postmas-
ter, r. G. Pierce, is an old resident
there. Since the coming of the
railroads, Homer has been on a
star mail route out of Webster
City. Its mail patrons will after
Sept. 80 get their mail on the rural
routes out of this city and STRAIT
ford.
