to give in detail. we will say here
that 1t is practically the same as IN
the graded and high schools of the
state. In addition, special attention
is given to music in all its depart
ments, including the organ. The in
dustrial department is also given spe-
cial care and attention.)
General information.
The aim and purpose of this insti-
tuition is purely educational. 1t is a
state school for the young blind or
those OF sight so defective as to pre-
vent them from attending the regular
public school. All the common school
branches are taught. The musical de-
partment is emphasized, and those who
have talent in that direction are given
an opportunity to enter the course.
Several industrial trades are taught
The school year begins the first
Wednesday in September and closes
the last week in May. All applicants
over ) and under . years of age
are a Omitted TO the institution by the
superintendent, All applicants over Il
years of age must furnish recommen-
dations-not less than three concern
ing the character of the applicant, TO
the superintendent. who. with ms
recommendation, sends them TO the
state board of education, 10 be acteu
upon by the board.
This institution is in no sense oil
the word an ASYLUM or home for the
blind. No person of imbecile or un-
sound mind or of confirmed immoral
character. will be knowingly received
to the institution. If such are re-
ceived they will he DISCHARGED The
parents or friends must supply their
children with comfortable clothing;
if this is not done. the superintendent
may purchase the clothing and send
the bill to the county in which the
child resides.
To secure the best work in any
school. pupils should enter at the be-
ginning Of the year and remain thru
out the entire term. II is the faithful
and steady work that counts, and 1t IS
our desire to impress this upon the
minds of the atrons.

some time past to combine Iowa Wes-

Indianola received another blow when
in a recent meeting of the Wesleyan
board of trustees that body refused 10
hold a conference with the Simpson

The idea grew out of plan to unite
tina Des Moines and Iowa conferences
of the Methodist church. the reason put
forth being that such a union Wo'alo
facilitate the exchange OF pastors. Since
il would be unusual TO maintain two
schools in the same conference, Slmp-
son authorities concluded that the
union would ultimately result In the
consolidation of the institutions. They
furthermore concluded that Wesleyan
would be removed to Simpson. Indian

proposed union than Mount Pleasant.
Jubllant over the prospects OF acquir-

son board invited a meeting with the
WESLEYAN authorities for the considera-

declined by a unanimous vote OF the
local body.
President Schell OF Iowa Wesley an.

Hampton, Feb. 25-All records here
in the way of large newspapers and
the amount of advertising carried are
being broken this week in both of the
local papers Of this city. And Hamp-
