dred thousand children in the
schools. 1t is also important because
of its relationship to the home At
great meeting of business men and
farmers in Illinois last winter Gov.
Dunno of that state assured them
that the most important question
they have to deal with is the public
school.
The speaker divided his subject
into three parts as follows: Why
have public schools? What kind do
we have? What kind should we
have? We have schools for the
purpose of cooperating with the
development of the child. The grad
uating class represent both the
schools and the homes. They rep
resent much more, all the shows
and pictures they have seen, all the
lectures and sermons they have
heard, all the companions they have
had and all of their surroundings
which have had an effect either di-
rect or indirect in molding their
lives. In discussing the kind of
schools we have he referred particu-
larly to the poor accommodations in
many parts of the state in housing
heating and ventilation. While the
schools cost much money the amount
per capita is a mere pittance when
compared with the expense of $415
to $3.50 for those who are sent to
Eldora, Mitchellville, Fort Madison.
and Anamosa.
In speaking of the kind of schools
we should have Mr.. Fuller made n
strong plea for better buildings, bet
ter sanitation and more hearty CO.
operation of the parents with the
teachers. And at all times we should
keep in mind that the public schools
are not furnished to provide posi-
tions and employment for the young
men and women, but for the benefit
and improvement of the boys and
the girls.
Supt. HOyman of the Extra schools
was then called upon by Miss Stearns
and he responded in a short and
bright address suited to the ocas-
sion.

ITS BETTER IN IOWA

A friend of the Republican has re-
ceiVed a letter from central Missouri
dated June 18th saying, I'VE farmers
of Missouri are looking cross and
blue. The prospects for crops this
year are the worst have ever
known in this state. First the fly
destroyed fully half the wheat crop
Then about two weeks ago the army
worm came in droVes from the
wheatfields into the cornfields and
destroyed much of the crop. The
farmers made bitches between the
fields and dragged them to prevent
the progress of the worms. When
they crossed a road from cornfield
to a pasture the road was black
and there wasn't space as big as
a hand not covered with them. So
with the pastures and half the wheat
destroyed and no prospects for corn
and suffering for rain, it is very dis
couraging."

GRADUATING EXERCISES
HELD LAST SATURDAY
An Exceptionally Large Class of
Pupils of the Rural Schools
Were Granted Diplomas.

The graduating exercises of the
rural schools of Audubon county,
held in the fine auditorium of the
Audubon High School building last
Saturday afternoon June Goth, 1914
called together a large audience of
the parents and friends of those who
We're granted diplomas. The beau
tiful sunshine of the day and the
sanguine spirit of the occasion were
in harmony with the bright faces of
the boys and girls composing the
class of 1914. The diplomas given
represents much more than the
course of study coupled with credit
1t represents the spirit of the age,
the sentiment of the community, the
expenditure of money, the sacrifice
of parents, and the ambition and in
dustry of the students who have per-
severed in their work until the tasks
were finished to the satisfaction of
those in authority.
The program was in charge of
Miss Ella M. Stearns, whose efficient
;vSSeeffls- the educational affairs of
mis- county will endure long after
Mer tongue and pen are silent for
eter, because she is touching the
hearts as well as the minds of both
pupils and parents. Her selection of
Mr. A. G. Fuller, of the State depart
ment of public instruction, to make
the principal address, assured one
that was both popular and profitable.
Mr.. Fuller is a gentleman of fine per-
sonality and pleasing address. And
his lecture was well received and ap-
preciated by the audience. After a
brief introduction telling of his per-
sonal experience in early life where
he grew up in Carroll county he siz-
ed up the situation today. Education
in Iowa is very important because of
it's size, there being twenty seven

Old Girl 10 Thrown From

Mrs. w. H. Morrison Of TT Blon-

steps leading to her residence from

AWAITING DECISION
IN SINNETT CASE
Arguments Are Completed and Judge
Hamilton Has Taken Case
Under Amusement.

Arguments were finished Friday
Afternoon in the Sinnett divorce case,
and the matter was taken under adj
visement by Judge Hamilton. It is
expected that he will give decision
in the case within a day or two.
Judge Felix T. Hughes closed the
arguments yesterday in his speech for
Mrs. Sfnnett. The judge closed his
arguments at $50 o'clock, and the big
crowd of spectators waited until the
finish, evidently expecting the Judge
would give his decision at that time.
Judge Hughes in his argument
showed how willingly Mrs. Sinnett,
had accepted the farmers work
and the life OF a farmers
wife. Judge Hughes declared 1t was
unfeeling and cruel of the defendant
to refuse to hitch up and go to town
to mail letter for his wife.
He referred to the incident when Mr..
Sinnett was alleged to have been
sulky. and his wife asked to be let out
Of the buggy She started back for
home, her attorney said, and was so
frightened she had to run part OF the
way. And when she passed her hus-
band in the buggy, instead of asking
her to ride, he followed her some dis
lance back, Judge Hughes said.
All these things Judge Hughes de-
'clared, were tending to make the de-
PENDANT a nervous wreck, and that
she feared her husbands moods.
That the defendants very idea OF life
was coarse and unrefned. was de-
clarcd by Judge Hughes. He held that
the defendant was justified in leaving
her husband and that she should have
her divorce.
Mrs. Sinnett yesterday told a report
err for The Gate City that in her testi-
tmony she said that she had set the
time for their marriage earlier than
slbs had expected, but only after Mr..
Sinnett's earnestly requesting her to

~ y0o hhoW Wudt tuO 1TlSkollOn is
Have you ever observed that little
figure, enclosed in a triangle, which
appears on the street cars Of this city,
or on the letter heads OF Stone &
Webster company stationary, $or Is
worn on small buttons by employees
OF that company? OF course every
man. woman and child in Keokuk has,
but how many Of them know It's mean
ing. how many know that It's history,
dating back to ancient times, Is as full
OF romance as any Of the best sell
ers' OF today, and how many know
why this great engineering corpora
ton has adopted it as a symbol of
ideals to be lived up to?
The story OF the Triskelion was
told in q paper read by Mr.. "A. 8.
| Nichols, manager Of the Fort Madi-
son Electric company, at the last
meeting of the High Tension club. 1t
was so interesting to those who heard
1t that the managers OF the local COM
pany thought the people OF this city
would like to know about it too, and
for that reason It is published here.
No delineation conceived by man
is SO suggestive Of stability as the
triangle. The royal mind that con-
ceived the pyramids and intended
them to endure as everlasting monu-
ments to the entrance and exit of a
human career undoubtedly felt the
stability of the three sided figure; 1t
is not beyond belief that the Egyptian
| in a campaign Of conquest had seen
mountains rising along the horizon
and during some meditative dusk had
determined to erect his own memorial
| in frank imitation of nature. Noun
tains have indeed ever suggested to
man the essence of stability; without
doubt the first triangle drawn by the
hand of man was an attempt to pro-
duce picture of some towering peak
whose sides diverged to meet the
plainsome mountain representing to
the mind Of the prehistoric artist the
dignity. Of years and the promise OF
permanence.
1T is useless to search the history
| of symbols Tor the variations and
evolutions of the triangle. Nearly
every race In its virile period has
used the figure commonly. 1t Is ele-
mental and makes no compromise
with degenerate design. 1t is severe
and simple, and SO being has had a
worldwide and world-long appearance
among people, to whom severity and
simplicity were attributed as quail
tiles of strength. Upon its suggestion
the greatest and most enduring monu.
ments have been built from the Nile
to the lands Of the Aztecs. The tri
angle is suggestive of stability, Of
j firm foundation, Of upward construc
tive endeavor.
'Of the Triskelion much more may
ibe said since this symbol is essen
italy a symbol of motion. and as such
has been a vehicle for a multitude OF
ideas grouped about the single idea
iof movement. Rg s
Thomas Wilson. In a treatise pub.
1lished by the Smithsonian Institu
ton upon the Swastika, symbol
clearly of close relationship with the
Triskelion, speaks of the difficulty OF
determining the origin or definite In
