RURAL SCHOOLS PROGRESS.
Sanitary Measures Adopted in Schools
of County,

That Improvement in rural schools
has resulted during the past year is
shown by reports made to the outgo-
ing superintendent, Miss Mary Hostel
Ter.
The improvements most noteworthy
are the adoption Of sanitary measures
in the way Of heating and ventilating
the buildings, and the Introduction Of
sanitary fountains.
A. A. Gettlestad, a Norwegian direc-
tor in district No. 6, LeGrand town
ship, could, If he chose, claim the cred
it Of being the first school man in the
county to introduce a better system Of
ventilating in the ordinary country
school house.
While Mr.. Gettlestad's idea was not
original, insofar as the method is con-
cerned, he took the initiative and fur
nished the school house in his district
with something more than the ordin-
airy heating stove that roasts the chill
dren who sit near 1t, and permits the
others at distance to freeze.
The stove in rural school No. Of

Jacket, similar to the galvanized
iron Jacket that encloses a steel fur
mace. Fresh air Is received from out of

During the year many improvements
were made at Riverside cemetery, but
much more work is to be done in 1913,
including the completion OF the i'm
provements begun in the eastern por-
ton, recently acquired, and extension
Of the grounds to Third avenue.
There has been much work done on
the new eastern addition to the ceme-
terry, and Mr.. Rubee has planned to
make this tract harmonic with the
scheme Of Improvement on Third ave-

carried out.

OF CITY
is BIG IMPROVEMENT.

One Of the most noticeable improve
men,: in the city during the past year
at least one which Will attract most
attention. IS the installation Of cleo
troliers on South Third avenue. This
great improv emcnt extends the great
white way" from Main street to the
Great Western tracks and is most
pleasing adjunct to the city peautltul.
Marshalltown was transt 1rmed i'll the
summer Of 1910, when public spirit
asserted itself and the merchants on
Main street bought the poles and lights
for electrifying the street. From a
dark and dingy thoroughfare, with
SUSPENDED arc at the. street intersec-
tions. the business section of the city
was lighted with elcctroliers. turning
night into day and causing Marshall
town to rival big city with her gay
white way
At that time the merchants bought
the poles and lights and installed the
system. sixty poles We're installed, each
with Eve lights. making 900 lights il
FIVE blocks along the main street.
This Improvement was so marked
that Third avenue business men began
to envy the uptown merchants. and
Later the merchants and property
owners On Third avenue We're solicited
and gladly Joined in clectrify!lg the
street and as result Third avenue is
today almost as brilliantly lighted as is
Main street.
Thirty-two poles were installed on
Third avenue. eight to the block fer
four blocks Sixteen mole poles Will
be added next spring. the poles extend
ing from the Great Western tracks
south TO the old Iowa Central general
office building. a distance OF TWO blocks
This great Improvement. together
with many brilliant electric signs re-
Gently added on Main street. make the
business district of MarshalitoWn one
Of the best lighted in the country. Dur
ing the holiday season the scene along
the main street was one Of brilIancT.
This Improvement, il may be sup
posed. is an expensive one TO maintain.
but the cost is less than would be
ina gined Under the old electric light
rates the cost was 33 per pole Of five
lights per month. When the new rates
were put into effect this cost Of main
tenance was decreased 70 1925 per
pole the present rate.

NEW GARAGE BIG AFFAIR.
Wheel Building Ono Of Largest and
Best of Kind in State.

Among the more substantial bulld-
ngs now in the course of construc-
ton in the city is the new block on
South Third avenue, erected on the
site of the old artificial ice plant by
f. w. Brewer, for his daughter. Mrs.
E. V. Wheel, of Chicago, at a cost of
approximately $4,000.
The new structure was begun about
Dee 10, and when completed will add
greatly to the appearance of the ave-
me. The building will have a ground
dimension Of 55X13S feet, and will be
faced with Kansas buff brick, trimmed
with dark red brick. 1t will be two
stories in height.
The first floor will be occupied by
the BubZine Automobile Company, with
one of the largest and best equipped
automobile garages in the state or
Iowa and with spacious Salesrooms.
The main entrance on Third ave-
nue. will be wide enough to admit free
access or exit of larger automobiles,
and the lobby will be enclosed in glass
SO as to eliminate danger of collisions
with pedestrians by cars leaving the
building, I; full view of the street be-
ing afforded in either direction a cars
length from the doors.
AT one side Of the entrance VIII be
the salesroom. 20x42 feet. and on the
other side large room, 15X30 feet TO
be used as ladies' waiting room and
toilet.
The rest of the main floor will be
used as a garage and automobile sta
BILE. fully equipped for all kinds of re-
pairs and storage.
The second floor will not be finished
until later. Mr. Brewer may convert it
into a hall for public purposes as Ii
has been admirably planned for those
demands. 1t would be one Of the largest
halls in the city if devoted to that
purpose and would DC easily ventilated,
having a twenty foot ceiling. It "on!o
be a fine place for an armory, in the
event of Marsha!ltown organizing a
military company.
Mr. Brewer is painstaking in the
erection of MS building; is seeing
that only the best of material is 60
ing into the structure and is per-
sonally experimenting the work. The
work will be hurried that the auto
mobile company may be housed by
early spring.

school room.
In connection with the SYSTEM" as
1t were, is pipe leading out OF the
building thru which the foul air pass
es. In this way good circulation OF
pure air is maintained, and the impure
air is taken from the building.
In this same school another sanitary
measure has been adopted, in that
sink has been constructed, where the
children may wash their hands, ana
the waste water is carried out OF doors
thru drain pipe. sanitary water
jar is also used in the school.

Engine Room Plans.
The engine room plans contemplate
installing during the year 1913 a 1900

condensing apparatus which will make
the plant as efficient as possible. a
new cooling tower will be built, as the
one used at present will be entirely
inadequate for this capacity. This Will

The transmission lines contemplated
during the year 1913 will start from

from Montour to Gladbrook and Gar

time in the future be met at Chelsea

the Chelsea line in order that reliable

ment permits US to feed either from
Cedar Rapids or from MarshaFtown

If you can see one of your brave
comrades in a clear spot about 25
yards beyond, jumping up and down
with eagerness to grab the oall, it is d
comparatively simple matter. Some
OF the coaches favor this system
that is, to let the passer look over the
adjacent mess and pick out a good
spot and good man to shoot the bail
to.
Then there is another system which
also has its adherents. 1t might be
called the Garfield or Monte Carlo

designated spot, it being the mission
of one or more of his fellow gladia-
