EXPANSION OF COUNTRY SCHOOL WILL COME
THROUGH MOVIES. AND DOMESTIC ARTS
BY HERBERT QUICK

It is a name to conjure with-and
that's about all. Who, ever saw a cit
tie red schoolhouse" in the country?
Most of them are white-but, red,
white, or blue, the little country
schoolhouse is doomed. The time
will soon come when the country
children will be taught in large,
roomy buildings, as good as those in
the cities, if not quite as large, and
surrounded by rural beauties.
This schoolhouse will not stand
alone on a bleak hillside, but will be
the center of little hamlet of build
ings. There will be a teachers house
with few acres of land attached;
and none but a skilled farmer will
have any chance to get the position
and the farm. The farm will have
barns and sheds to suit its size. The
teacher will live on it with his family,
and, 1 hope, will be engaged during
good behavior It will be life job

kitchen with domestic economy para
phernalia, in which the girls and wo-
men of the district will hold high car
nival, reviving the ancient glories of
American rural cookery and house
keeping. The girls will get credits
on their domestic economy course
here, and cook and serve luscious re-
pasts when the neighborhood assem-
bles to talk, listen to music, debate
questions of the day, or enjoy moving
picture shews--or dance.
The moving picture shows will be
given for the benefit of the pupils in
geography, history, science and art.
The children instead of studying
books about India, Brazil and New
York city, will visit these places in
the movies. They will see how farm
ing is done in China, Japan and
Egypt. They will see bacteria de-
velop before their eyes, and wheat
plants, and roses. 1t will be lots of
fun, and will cut into their evenings,
and all to be written up for tomor-
rows lesson. This will be a lesson in
English as well, SO we shall have COW
cred a good deal of educational
ground in this evenings gathering of
the old and young. And the old folks
will not fall behind the children in
education as fas as they do now.
Iowa has always been welded to
the one-room rural school. But the
Iowa Better School Commission"
after getting answers from eighteen
hundred representative citizens
many farmers, TOTO questions
about the things needed by the
schools, found everything have pre-
dicted in the answers. AS matter
of fact, all l have described is found
in schools but not all of them in one
school, as it should be.

tice-and there's her aspiration as to

The selection Of John Shelton Will
liams as comptroller Of the currency is
most excellent and wise. Mr.. Williams
is the man who created the Seaboard
Air Line railway system. In doing so
he came in sharp competition with big
opposing interests in New York. There
followed long battle royal. Mr.. Will
liams had plenty Of ability-ability
equal IL not superior to the opposition;
but the opposition had the most money
and knew enough to handle it properly.
AS the result Mr. Williams was finally
licked out. But with the accession OF
the Wilson administration he came into
financial prominence again as assistant
secretary Of the treasury, and now the
president wants him to be promoted to
the position Of comptroller Of the cur
rency; but his old enemies do not want
that. They understand how we'll he
knows the tricks and schemes by which
they were able to overcome him and
they do not like the idea Of having him
in a position where he will be able to
hold them down. They fully understand
that there is not a man in America who
is better equipped than Mr.. Williams to
hold them down to the right thing.
They have therefore been exerting all
the influence they have on the senate.
and that influence Is very great, to pre-
vent Mr.. Wililams's confirmation, for as
comptroller Of the currency he will be
the virtual master Of the new regional
reserve system. Taken altogether we
think Mr.. John Shelton Williams is the
man for the place and we hope he will
get there.

II the general assembly should enact
a law to require the stamping Of mort
cages by the auditor as a prerequisite
to their validity, such law would have
no effect on mortgages held by banks,
In this case the rule recently laid down
by Judge Prince as to non-taxable
bonds would apply. Banks are taxed
on basis of the market value of their
capital stock without reference to the
nature Of their assets, and therefore
lust as a bank is not entitled to credit
for the ownership Of a non-taxable
bond, it would be entitled to tax
exemption on account Of the ownership
Of an interest bearing security. The
proposition Is altogether reasonable,
honest and ustj.

from his report of conditions over that

The following from the Lakeland Fla

And in q like manner, when 1t
comes to fixing roads, the ruling con-
sideration should be not which town
ship pays the most taxes: but the i'm
portance and condition Of the road.
There was a world of wisdom in the
observation of Mr.. c. M. Inman re-
Gently to the effect that If the roads
on the western side Of the county were
in half as good condition as those in
the eastern side, the western side
would ask no more favors at the
hands Of the county on account Of the
chaingang.
If 1t is fact that the delegation has
decided to give the Bethel people
some work Immediately after COM
pleting the north and south road, we
think that such a step will be both
wise and just.

1t is pretty generally conceded
that the standpipe will have to be re-
moved before a great while whether
the new court house goes on the old
site or not. The statement is that the
standpipe has about lived its life, any
way, and of course If it Is condemned
on account of being menace to the
new court house, it will have to be
moved at the expense Of the town. If
it can be shown that the standpipe is
good, the expense Of removal will fall
upon the county.

Cant, L, M. Grist.

It has been the custom Of the pub
fishers of The Enquirer for the past
eleven years to make especial reference
to the late Capt. l. M. Grist in each an
niversary issue nearest the date Of his
death, which occurred on January Is,
1903.
AS the years go by and we become
more familiar with the life work of
Capt. Grist by reason Of studying TIL
record as it appears in the earlier is
sues Of the paper, as well as by actual
contact with the same problems that en-
gagged all his active labors, we are some
times constrained to debate wheth-
er it would not be more fitting to pay
this particular tribute on the date of
his birth rather than on the date Of his
death, but as the feeling is the same in
either case it is perhaps matter Of lit
tie consequence as to which anniver-
sary is observed.
Captain Grist was fighter for right.
He stood for equal opportunity for ev-
cry man in the enjoyment Of life, lib
erty and in the pursuit Of happiness.
He believed in law and order, hated
dishonesty and deceit, and honored
above all people those men who scorn-
ed to exist as parasytes; but preferred
to earn their bread through useful la
Dor. He was not content to be a mere
time server; but preferred to stand for
something high and noble, regardless
of costs and his life was one that was
worth while.
The ideals of Capt. Grist are still a
long way from realization. AS to
whether they can be realized this side
