Des Moines. Dec. 17.-While the
number OF schoolhouses In Iowa is on
the decrease and the number Of chill
dren Of school age IL not as great as
formerly, school house property in
creased nearly million dollars in val
ue last year and nearly two million was
spent in the year for all school purpos-
es more than the year before. This Is
one item in the high cost Of living not
to be overlooked.
According to the report Of the super
intendent Of public instruction, soon to
be issued, the total number Of school
houses in Iowa at the close Of the last
fiscal year was 1855, and they are
valued at $40. O.422.000. OF these school
houses only 7.340 are reported equipped
with flags. so that the law about dis
playing the flag ewes school day is not
observed at all places.
PupiIs Decrease 1000.
The number of persons of school
age, between 5 and 21 years. found on
the count for school purposes. was
671,O16. which is about 1000 less than
In the year before. The actual enroll
ment was 5O7.S45. and the average daily
attendance was 3G9,374. This latter Is
nearly 5000 larger than before. so that
1t is evident more nearly all the pupils
are attending schools.
The expenditure for all school pur-
poses in Iowa was $16,442.52s. of which
$9,614,221 went to pay the teachers
and t6,s2S.307 for other purposes. The

There is an increase in the business
Of transporting pupils. There were

WASHINGTON. March 2I-Shorrly
after Mrs. Woodrow Wilson became
mistress Of the white house she made a
statement to this effect:
81 do not believe in the turkey trot.
My daughters do not know how to
dance it, and I am confident it will not
be seen at the white house"
In view Of this statement tire
mendous surprise was caused at the
navy yard dance when the Misses VIII
son bloomed out as the best of an the
turkey trotters present. Now society is
anxious to see if after all turkey trot-
ting will prevail in the east room as it
during the Taft regime.
It is certain, however. that strenuous
exercise. such as the turkey trot, will
be tabooed by the Misses Wilson, for
short time. at least The presidents
daughters aIe very cautious right now

OWN CHILD LOST,
SHE HELPS NAIF
Mother of Kidnapped Girl Finds
SolaCe in Caring for Little
Stranger.

Stirred by the memory of her lost
child. for whom she has been search
ing for three years. Mrs. Magdalene
Small, of New York, served as a mother
to a little four year-old waif who was
placed in her room at police headuuar-
ters The child, Myrtle May Harper,
and her father w. A. Harper were
found by the police in a farm car
riage which he was driving aimlessIy
through last nights storm, vainly try
ing to find the way to his home near
Chattahoochee, Ga.
Mrs. Small, broken with grief over
the kidnapping by gypsies of her 3-year-
old daughter, Mary Gretchen Small
hailed with joy the advent Of the lit
tie girl into the gloominess of head
quarters, and begged the police to al
low her to care for the child during
the night.
Mrs. Small declared this morning
that last night was the happiest she
has known since the disappearance Of
her own baby. She attended the wants
Of the little Harper girl with all
mothers care and solicitude. She
washed the little face and hands. and
cleaned the dust Of travel from the lit
tie dress. She decked the little young
ster in the jewelry that once had been
worn by the lost daughter and spent
hours fondling and loving the child,
who for the moment had swept away
her sorrow.
Until long after the hour Of midnight
a light cleaned from Mrs. SmalTs win
dow, and the mingling of childish pat
ter and a soothing, motherly voice was
evidence that for the first time in three
years Mrs. Small's heart was light
again.
A remarkable resemblance Of the lit
tie Harper girl to the lost daughter
made the parting this morning all the
harder. and tears were in every eye
when Mrs. Small kissed the little girl
good bye
Harper was booked as a Sleeper"
and this morning having recovered his
sense of direction, was released He
started at once for his home.
