Report From upsrlntsndent Aldrleh
shows That 1ss More on Aver
age Attend This Year Than
Last.
EMBODIMENT is HIGHER
peductlns kindergarten Figures
Keeps General Increase In At
tendance Still Over
Last Years

One hundred and hfty-eight more
school children on the average attend.
ed the public schools OF Keokuk this
year than did last year, according to
the yearly report submitted by Supt
William Aldrich to the board OF edel-
cation last evening. Eliminating the
number IN the kindergarten and the
total average attendance is still far
above that cf last year-to be exact,
III more. School figures being popu.
larly supposed to be q measure of the
prosperity OF a community, Keokuk
would have no cause to complain from
these figures:
The total enrolment OF the Keokuk
schools according to the report Is
2,501. This Is An increase Of 146 over
last year. Or an increase, leaving out
the Kindergarten figures Of 80. The
total average attendance for the year
was 1920 or 1853 more. A peculiar
fact that is noted in the superinten-
dents report is that the banking fig-
ures this year are less than last. The
total money banked this year was
$1,33O.47. while the amount last year
was $1,517.32 or $1S6.S5 more. !.

year ending June IL is given here as

GOOD TIMES ARE

EneIshman Says There is No Good
Reason for Business to
be Poor.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NEW YORK, June 30.-There is no
fundamental reason for any apprehen-
sion in financial and industrial circles
and the time for enormous expansion
Is near at hand, according to views
expressed by Sir George Paish of Lon
don, an economist recognized as an
authority in Europe. In a special
,cabled interview printed today by the
New York World, Sir George says:
There is no fundamental reason
for depression. The American people
are enjoying great income which no
one doubts Will show enormous expan-
sion as time goes on. The main cause
of the existing situation is that con-
tinental and American investors have
lost their nerve. Apart from the stu
alton in the United States, there is
a universal disposition to go easy un-
til the International political situa-
ton, particularly in the Balkans,
shows signs of being adjusted"

One OF the most effective pieces OF
public school legislation in recent
years ana which becomes operative

ty-fifth general assembly changing the
date of the county normal Institutes

their tuition fees but the yearly regis
tration Of certificates.

school law the county superintendent
shall hold annually at least one. but
not more than two, county institutes

Of the teachers must continue while
they are attending institute If certii-
cate of attendance is properly certi-
fed by the county superintendent.
Division Of Expenses.
To defray the expenses OF the coun-
ty Institutes, In addition to the $50
received from the state and one-half
OF the examination fees collected In
the county, $3.50 must be paid by the
board OF supervisors from the general
county fund No part Of the county
teachers institute fund can be used
except to pay instructors
The county superintendent, how
ever, are authorized to conduct sum-
mer schools when deemed advisable.
but the fees collected must be turned
over to the county institute fund and
the warrants for the purposes Of pay
ing instructors shall be drawn by the
county auditor.
What the Law Says.
The new school law. which becomes
effective Saturday. and which provides
for the adjustment of ninety-nine
county normal institutes in the state,
reads:
1.-THE county superintendent shall
hold annually at least one. but not
more than two, county teachers in

Enlightened Seltishness" is the
vast corporations are beginning to
see that if they place their business
on a profit sharing basis they are
going to get much more efficient SER
vice and whole-hearted interest from
their Workmen. Hundreds of bust
nesses are waking up to this fact
and cooperation is going to be the
solution of the problems that have
been: troubling Capital and Labor.
Every magazine and newspaper pub
!ished carries stories of this corpor-
alton and that one that is evidencing
a greater humanity than the Law de-
nands. For several years many
great : manufacturing plants have
maintained hospitals and rest rooms
and things of the sort to alleviate
the hardships produced by the dan
gers encountered by the workmen in
their daily tasks. But now the mat
ter has gone farther. It it not enuf
to cure the hurts caused but the cor
porations have seen the necessity Of
preventing these injuries. And more
and better still, they have taken their
workmen into .spartnership and are
sharing the profits Of their labor
with the laborers. The Ford Motor
Company is one such corporation
which has adopted this plan and this
year profits amounting to $10,00O,0 900
will be shared among the employees.
And best Of it all is the fact that the
Company does not offer this in a
spirit; of doing for the poor. They
do it, they admit frankly, from a
selfish motive. They know perfectly
that the man who advances with the
business that he builds up is going
to do all that he can to advance that
business. That is what they mean
by Enlightened Selfishness" and
paradoxical as it may sound, Selfish
ness will eventually make over the
world Of industry, SO that we are
considerably nearer the Millennium.

We are not very much in sympathy
with all the efforts of the State
Board Of Health to fix the blame for
the typhoid epidemic firmly on the
unfortunate local citizens who were
concerned. While we are not in q
position to state just why the local
doctors did not make the reports that
the State Health Board says they
should. have: made, it would appear
TO us T. thai they should at least be
given; the. benefit of the doubt. 1t
lis not likely: that they had any utter
;Eor motive in letting the cases develop
and once in while more is expected
OF men in their position than any one
ihas "a right to- expect: AS to the
City Council and Supt. Bolstad, any.
'ose who thinks calmly about the mat
ter can easily see that the State
Health Board were decidedly negli-
gent when they made their report to
the City Council. If they found such
terrible conditions at the time of the
first examination of the water it was
up to- them to throw such a scare
into our LOCAL Council that they would
st once see the gravity Of the situa-
ton Our Councilmen are not scien-
lists and when such report as the
State Health Board came to them
without any reference to the extreme
gravity Of the: case, it was only nat
Iural that they should not perceive
the seriousness of the matter. More
over, a remark made by one of the
State Board men while here to the
effect that the Board felt so sure
that it had the situation we'll in hand
OK they would have begun the hy-
pochloride treatment at once and
hunted for the trouble later, shows
that the State Board was taking
rather more for granted than they
had any right to do. The men on
the State Board are paid to know
what" to do and to do it. quick. 1t
was up to them first. 81: It: is little
wonder when they fell down that our
Council did: not exceed them in vigil
lance. Let the citizens of New Ulm
put the blame where it rightfully be-
longs: We are not excusing the coun-
acilmen for the things they did not do
that they should have done but we
do not believe that they should be
blamed that they did not fully realize
the situation.

The average man or woman who
pays or who does not pay taxes in
this country thinks that his taxes
consist of the few dollars that he
is compelled to turn over at the
window of the county treasurer's
office each year. The Worlds Work
in an article on taxation shows that
the amount actually paid in this way
is a mere tri1e compared with the
total amount of taxes which the
neople really pay for the support of
the government. It shows that the
average income Of every family in
the United States is $847 per year,
and that the average tax per family
Is $40 per year, or between one
fourth and one-ffth Of the entire

reason to doubt the honesty and abb
