"A school directory Of Iowa recently
published by the Normal Publishing
Company. of Dubuque, gives a crafty
ing showing OF the Marshalltown high
school, BY this table 1t ranks the third
in the state. both as to the number
Of students enrolled, and til. number Of
teachers employed. Two hundred and
eight pupils are registered in this de-
partment. a number exceeded by only
two high schools in the state. those of
Burlington and Davenport. The in
crease has been forty this year. against
twenty-one last year.
"A study OF 'Marshalltown school
statistics makes a fiattering showing In
any light, but just now the old prob
lem again occurs to the school board,
OF what to do with the Increased num-
Der OF students. Nearly every ward
is crowded. and the Fourth particu-
larly so. 1t was hoped the new high
school building, or rather the enlarge
ment Of the First ward building, would
relieve the press for many years. but
the growth has been steady, the in
crease this year being phenomenal. So
far as opinion is expressed it inclines
to the erection of a distinct high
school, in some central loaction, and Of
size and style creditable to both the
city and it's magnificent system Of

/ "Marshalltown is in the center of the
snow belt. There is more snow here
than in any direction for 100 miles.
loWa's wonderful weather continues as
II it had no thought of ever growing
colder or disagreeable. The bright
skies. gentle winds, pure air. moderate
temperature, and fine sleighing con-
tlnue to produce really ecstatic state
OF weather. 1t is great for general
business, for the farmer, for the public,
and for everybody but the coal and ice
men. II Iowa could bet upon such
weather each winter and all winter,
what country 1t would bean easy
rival Of the monotony of California or
Florida

ular time under the present manage
ment. and are fixed up very comfort
ably indeed Mote: With present day
demands in street car service under
the new local company, it is interesting
to contrast the schedule of the horse

the depot in the morning at 1890, and
the same time was observed at the
west end" The last car left the depot
at $3.50 p. M, and the west end" at
10 p. m. After $3.50 a. m. cars
ran every fifteen minutes between the
west end" and the Third avenue
switch. There was no service at all on
