80, the groom being Amos Logan, a
well known resident of Salem, and

EXPECT TO CREATE
SCHOOL OF COMMERCE

Iowa City, Feb. 5.-Creation Of
strong school of commerce in the state
university will be urged upon the
state board of education in its meet
ing next Wednesday and later upon
the legislature by Representative
Coast Of this county. The state uni
versity at present offers only g. few
courses in business practices. Mr.
Coast would have a complete school
established comparable to the best
schools in the country. He has OBJ
tanned statistics which show that OF
all the students graduated from the
college of liberal arts at the university,
business had claimed more than any
other occupations except law and
teaching. A special school with
big corps Of instructors is maintained
for training teachers, and a separate
college with many professors and fine
equipment affords knowledge of the
law But the provision made for pre-
pairing men for business career is al
most negligible.

Des Moines, Feb. 5.-The rivalry
over leadership in the educational
work of the public schools Of Iowa
appears to have developed into a
square contest between confllcung
views as to opposing policies.
The real question at issue, 'it Is now
declared. is whether the progressive
movement in school matters which
emphasizes the Importance of the COM
mon schools and especially the rural
schools, which looks to betterment Of
the work for army Of children who
never get beyond the eighth grade,
which contemplates especial effort to
fit teachers for rural and grade school
work, which takes school matters out
of politics and divorces them from all
other interests-whether this shall go
on to a triumphant conclusion; or
whether there shall be abandonment Of
the program and turning backward
with notification to any who may fol-
low that they must not pursue the
forward course.
As indicating something of what the
immediate program Of the department
is with regard to better schools, and
how closely it Is adhering to the plan
of emphasizing as to rural school work
and vocational training the following
"aims for Iowa public schools are
given in the last report:
