Iowa 2lst in Schools

Cedar Rapids Republican:
The Russell Sage foundation
investigators have placed Iowa
in the Dist place as regards
her schools. That is there are
twenty states in the union that
have better and more efficient
schools, and that get better re-
suits in the way of public edu-
cation. This report may make
some of us mad, but we will
have to accept it as an impair
tial verdict. One reason why
the Iowa standard is so low is
found in the fact that there
has been a deterioration in the
rural schools. The rural scilop!
as it was established by the
pioneers has failed TO meet the
later situation. The country
sch oil does not occupy as i'm
portant a place in the minds of
men. 1t has lost out because
it has not been kept up with
the times w. believe that IL
will continue to Lose out as
long as we try to keep up TIE
present system of separated
schools, with a handful of
scholars in each and poorly
paid teacher at the head. Anu
as long as there are only a few
pupils in each school that lu1 g
will school directors continue
to believe that the teachers
should not be paid much in the
way Of salaries. Centraliza the
schools, create the rivalry of
larger numbers, and the inspir-
alton of larger numbers, and
larger efforts and you will at
once revive the school interest.
If that is done Iowa will rot
rank twenty first, but w II be
close to first place Tn4 Sage
foundation report has d )ne as
no harm, but it will nave done
US good if we heed what has
been found by an impartial
board of investigators.

To Give No Pennant
In Southern League

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug 27.-It
looks as if there will be no pennant in
the southern League this season. Presi-
dent Kavanaugh announced tonight that
a dog got into the league headquarters
and chewed the pennant to pieces. The
pennant is paid for by an equal appro-
priatIOn from all the clubs Of the cir
cult, and 1t now will be necessary to
have new contributions. President
Kavanaugh. however. says that the sec
ond division clubs will refuse to pay
for something they have no chance of
getting. and the league constitution
prohibits the winner Of the race from
buying its own pcnnant and calling 1t
