CEDAR RAPIDS MAN
YOUNGEST SOLDIER

Cedar Rapids, Jan. 11.-So far as is
known, Christian Dale Barger, who
died here last week, was the youngest
man In the union army during the civ
IL war who has made his home in
Iowa. Mr.. Barger enlisted when IL

ords showing that there is another
civil war veteran in the state who en-
tered the army at that age. Mr.. Bar
ger enlisted in Co. H. First Battalion,
Thirteenth Indiana infantry, in De-
catur county, Indiana, in April, 1862,
as drummer, and was given an hon
orable discharge in 1865. He was
in nine battles including Rolling Fork
and Vicksburg, and was confined six
months in Andersonville prison. Mr..
Barger was GA years of age, and had
been i'll for about two years. He
came to Cedar Rapids about five years
ago from Vinton, where he had resid-
ed for number of years. He Is sur
vived by Mrs. Barger and four chill
dren, Mrs. Harry Ward of Washing
ton, Frank Barger, Clyde Barger and
Mrs. Perry Hough of Cedar Rapids.

SCHELL TALKS ON
NORM Al BILL
HEAD OF I. W. COLLEGE SAYS PRO-
POSED LEGISLATION AN
ECONOMICAL ONE.

Mt. Pleasant, Dec 11-President E. A.
Schell of Iowa Wesleyan college has
returned from Des Moines where he
went to attend a meeting of the legis-
lative committee of the independent
colleges of the state, of which he Is q
member. Other prominent educators
present were Presidents Bell of Drake.
Main of Grinnell, Cooper Of Upper
Iowa and Dean Freed OF Cornell.
President Schell made a statement
concerning the bill which will be intro
duced into the legislature, aimed to
secure at minimum expense, the
better preparation of grade teachers
for the Iowa public schools.
Figures furnished by Educational
Examiner p e. McClenahan," said DR..
Schell, "show that one-third Of all
teachers in the largest high schools
of the state are graduates from the
independent or UNCONVENTIONAL col
leges. Another third come from the
three state institutions, while the rest
come from outside the state.
1.-THE state normal school at Cedar
Falls has an enrolment of under 1000
and costs the state $1S1,5O0 annually
to maintain It was begun as purely
a normal school but has since added
liberal arts course and become col
lege on the plea of increased efficiency.
The State Teachers association and
State Superintendent Deyoe now pro-
pose to build and equip three more
such normal schools. The independent
colleges propose instead that the state
snail furnish teachers in education,
home economics, agriculture and COM
mercial work, who will be approved by
the Independent colleges, while they
furnish the equipment and the stu
dents already gathered. The bill pro-
poses fifty such teachers with al ag-
gregate salary of not exceeding $780,
900. In this way, for little over one
half the sum paid every year to sup
port the normal school at Cedar Falls,
the 5000 young people already attend
ing the independent colleges would be
reached If anything in the way of
economy will appeal to the state sure
ly this proposal will get hearing,
and building more normal schools will
be abandoned on the instant it Is pro-
posed. 1t even should squelch the pro-
posal."
