RURAL SCHOOL NOTES.

By Tina Fessenden, County Supt.
The Big Five teachers meeting
at DEBORAH Friday and Saturday,
May LIST and End, promises to be one
OF the best we have ever had. There
will be no round table work but in
stead three general sessions, Friday
afternoon and evening and Saturday
morning. The talent chosen is es-
pecially strong as will be shown by
the following list of addresses:
1.-THE Demands Upon the Modern
School," by Prof. John Stout, Cor
nell college; Scientific Management
in Education" by DR.. w. A. Jessup,
Iowa University; Teaching Students
How to Study" by DR.. Charles H.
Judd, Chicago university; 'Theoret-
ical and Practical Education by
DR.. Charles Judd; and address by
Matte Louise Hatcher; con the
Study Of Shakespeare" by President
Cooper Of Upper Iowa university;
and Teachers Pensions" by supt
James H. Harris of Dubuque. \
As the program contains so much
good material, and DEBORAH is &c
conveniently located we are antici'
pating a large enrolment for How
ard county.

the Big Five Summer school to be
held at Upper Iowa University il

candidacy because it appreciates Mr..
Connolly's loyalty as proven by his sup
port of the policies during his term in
the House. The Democrats of Iowa
will recognize this in the primary as he
is unquestionably the man to elect
The election of Democratic COVER
nor in Iowa is considered a foregone
conclusion in Washington. Two years
ago, with the Republicans united on q
candidate Clarke was only successful
BY less than 2. 600 votes, and a little
harder work on the part Of Polk coun-
ty and Des Moines democrats alone
would have won the election for Dunn.
This year the Republican party has q
record of executive and legislative
Encouragement to live down, and it is
being found hard job. In addition
to this there are three candidates in
the primary where there was but one
before. The fight for the withdrawal
Of Judge Lee, the last to enter the
field, on the ground that district
Judge is ineligible to Office during bis
term on the bench, has not been par
ticularly pleasing to his friends. The
Rowley partisans, too. look on Judge
Lee as an interloper, as the Keosau-
qua man was the first to enter the field
on the tax issue and in protest against
Clarke's candidacy.
Already the newspapers of the state
are devoting columns to the tax ques-
ton, an action made necessary ty the
insistent criticism of the tax legisla-
ton record of the Clarke administra-
ton from the men who have been dig
ging down in their pockets to pay the
increased taxes. The press is getting
wrought up. The Sioux City Tribune,
Cummins staunchest supporter in past
campaigns, says that Gov. Clarke will
be dead this year" The Charles City
Intell'gencer says, ''The effort being
made by few disgruntled politicians
to defeat Gov. Clarke for denomination
is nasty piece of partisan work. "
The Knoxville Journal says, Judge
Lees candidacy is strongly supported
by the Ames political machine. ;"
Meanwhile John r. Hamilton of Co.
dae Rapids and v. R. McGinnis of L.
on are conducting dignified campaigns
for the Democratic nomination and no
personalities have been INDUCED in.
Present indications are the after-pri'
mary effects will prove the last blow
to Republican hopes, without proving a
worry to democratic candidates.
