LEvTHE "klDs" wIGGLE.

Arthur D. Deane of New York uni
yersity, declared before the Iowa State
Teachers association at Des Moines
Yesterday, that for his part he would
do away with ''the little cells, called
desks in school in the early. years"
The eastern educator, who IS also
supervisor of industrial work in New
York state, said there was great need
of the public schools training the
plumber, the carpenter, the machinist
and the chauffeur as thoroughly and as
fully as the doctor and lawyer.
With reference to desks for child
rem in the early grades, Professor
Deane said:
'The more child wiggles the more
it develops. If you believe it is we'll
to tie a child down as teachers some
times to try to do, just bind his eyes,
tie his hands and feet, plug up his ears
and see what he amounts to in five
years. He will be fool.
1.-THE school should develop the
pupil, not only in figuring, writing or
in geography, but in character, in
health and in those other respects
which have been shown to be neces-
cary"

ELDON d. S. PUPILS
HOST TO BOARD

Eldon. Nov. 6.-The regular month
ly meeting of the board of education
was held this week Miss Bell, the
domestic science teacher, thought it
would be an appropriate occasion to
have the pupils under her charge
serve dinner for the school
board so that the members might Judge
as to the character and quality of the
work, being done along that line in the
schools.
Accordingly Supt. Trumbo and wife,
and the members of the school board
and their wives were invited for the
dinner and the official meeting both at
the high school building Every voting
member of the board was present, and
was well pleased with the dinner, the
menu of which was as follows:
Vegetable soup, waters, creamed po-
tatoes, Dreaded pork chops, pickles,
spiced grapes, bread and butter, per-
lection salad, creamed peas on rosettes
marshmallow pudding, cake, coffee,
minis.
Although the girls have been taking
instruction only about two months, the
dinner was perfect as to cooking and
service. Much credit is due Miss Bell
and her pupils on this their first pubic
dinner since the adoption Of the course

INCENDIARY BOMB
BLAMED FOR FIRE

Halifax, N. S., Nov. 6.-The fire in
the cargo of sugar on the British
steamer Rio Lagos, which put in here
last night with the flames still smoul-
dering, was caused by an incendiary
bomb, according to statement today
by Captain Bell of the steamer. The
fire is now virtually out, after having
been fought with steam and water
continuously since it was discovered
early Thursday. the fourth day out
from New York.
Captain Bell said the cargo, which
was consigned to the British sugar
commission at Queenstown, had been
loaded by Austrian and German steve
dores at Yonkers, N. Y, and that
there was ample opportunity for 8
spy to place an incendiary bomb In
the sugar bags. He added that spon.

Mason City, Nov. 6.-Mason City

voted to build 100000 high school

for bond issue Of $4,000 for high
school building and the second calls
for a $35. 900 bond issue to purchase a
site The board will meet Monday

The decision of the administration
to recognize the Carranza government
marks turning point not only in the
development of our policy toward
Mexico, but in the history of interna-
lional relations on the American con-
tinent.
President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing have received great praise,
and deservedly SO, for raising the
Mexican situation to the high level
and dignity of a Pan-American ques-
ton The country has lost sight OF
the fact, however, that equal praise is
due to the six powers of Central and
South America for the lofty spirit and
high ideals of continental solidarity
which they have shown in cooperating
with the United States so earnestly
in finding solution for the Mexican
difficulty
We are apt to lose sight of the fact
that the leading powers of Central
and South America have no material
interests at stake in the solution of
the Mexican problem. Their effective
and efficient cooperation gives to the
world striking example of unselish
devotion to an ideal, namely, the es-
sential unity of interest of the re-
publics of the American continent.
The conditions of anarchy in Mexico
might have continued for an indefinite
period without in any way affecting
either the well-being or the security
of the South American governments
or of their citizens. Their readiness
to be of service in moment of crisis
is an eloquent expression of the pro-
gress made by the Pan-American idea
during the last ten years. Washing

the requirements of the Mexican sit

Now that the decision has been
made to recognize the government of
Carranza, it can serve no useful pur-
pose to discuss the relative merits
of the rival leaders who have been
contending for supremacy and recog.

ance is that whatever may be the ma

she now resumes her position as one

in bringing to the support of the con-
stituted and recognized government
the best elements of Mexican society.
During the five years of turmoil
through which Mexico has been pass.
ing large proportion of the men best
fitted to cooperate in the rehabilita.
tion of the country have either exiled
themselves voluntarily or have been
compelled to do so. The same spirit
OF helpfulness which animated the de-
alterations of the Pan-American con.
ferees in Washington and New York
should now lead them to impress upon
the newly recognized government the
Importance of a conciliatory policy-a
policy which will restore to Mexico
the valuable elements she has lost.
The suffering of the last few years
has taught many lessons, the most
important of which is the necessity
of improving the social condition and
industrial status of the great mass of
the Mexican people.
The anarchy of recent years has
served to make clearer than ever be-
fore that the primary, fundamental
problem confronting Mexico is, in it's
essence, educational Those who are
best acquainted with the Mexican
'peon" entertain no doubt that
through education he can be made not
only an efficient worker, but capable
citizen, sufficiently strong in his con-
victions to resist the allurements of
false leaders and self-seeking polite.

natural result of more vigorous, a
more efficient, a more intelligent peo-
pie In this great work she deserves,
and must have, sympathy, encourage
ment and where necessary the intelli-
gent support OF her sister republics.
Whatever criticism may have been
passed on the policy of our administra-
ton with reference to Mexico, no one
has for a moment doubted that it has
been dictated with singleness of pur-
pose to .Mexico's welfare. This stand
ard of unselfishness, which has die.
tated tho policy of the United States
and of our sister republics in their
cooperative action, places a cores
ponding responsibility on the Ameri.
can people. The efforts of our gov
eminent to aid Mexico will avail but
little if the attitude Of our citizens,
either in their individual or corporate
capacities, is dictated by selfshness,
greed and the desire to exploit Mex.
