manager Of schools. Call up the
president Of the board or any Of its
members and they refer you to the
city manager. and they look to him to
see that the schools are run on an
economical and sound basis. Another
innovation is that the public schools Of
Mason City are without superintend-
ent and the plan is working fine. j. e.
Palmer is principal Of the high school
and F. M. Hammitt is principal Of

to the board alone. The board Is quite

complete harmony all around. There
Is probably no other city in the state

from Iowa at basketball here Saturday
night by a score Of Is to u. The final
score Of the game was disputed by the

have been IA to 10 in favor Of Iowa.
The point was not raised until after
the game, however. and Referee Birch
refused to interfere with the record OF
the official scorers book. The dis

near the end of the first half. after the
whistle had blown for fcul.s Birch
made no ruling on the point at the
time.
Iowa lost thru poor foul shooting
and inability to pocket the ball when
chances offered. The Hawkeyes played
a beautiful passing game and kept the
ball in their possession three-fourths
OF the time, but the Grinnell defense
was strong under the goal and Kents
men were poor long distance shots.
