THE FARMER AND WIFE TEACH

the teachers supervision, the farmer
and his good wife took charge. The
farmer took the youngsters out to see
his cattle, while he explained what he
considered the best plan of feeding TO
make them a profitable proposition
Horses and mules, cows and calves,
sheep and hogs were judged for points.
Tobacco patches, cornfelds and mead
ows were inspected and estimates
made of crops still on the land or in
the barns.
The girls were taken in hand by the
good housekeeper and shown through
her home from cellar to garnet. Her
methods of handling her milk and
cream and butter were explained in
full. Her turkeys, chickens and geese
were visited. She told them what she
considered the best breeds, and gave
them her ideas of the feeding and the
care of fowls. She even got out her
winter supply Of jams, jellies, pre-
serves and canned fresh fruits and
vegetables and told her audience what
she considered the safest plan Of put
ting up garden an orchard sass" 80
that 1t would be certain to keep.
The farmers were delighted because
it made the children see the farm from
a proper viewpoint. The housewives
were charmed because the children
saw how closely connected good farm
ing and good housekeeping were. The
neighbors were pleased because the
day became an informal social gather
ing which conferred about the school.
The teacher was glad to be able to
have the children busy with real
things and real problems, while their
own parents and neighbOrs looked on.
If every county in the state could
have Farm Day" or a half dozen Of
them scattered through the year, it
would force the matter of education
close home to every parent AS was
mentioned above, one of the great
stumbling blocks to definite and we'll
organized advancement in the schools
of the state is that the school system
is tied up in politics. This is not the
fault of the school men and women,
but the fault of the people. If the peo-
pie love their children, and they do,
they will see to it that the schools are
lifted out Of politics for all time 70

SCHOOLS ARE THE KEYS.

Fine farms, good roads, comfortable
homes, and blooded stock in a COM

not necessarily develop good schools

this is true can be seen by a days
drive through many of the richest and

The little chap in blue overalls, hold
ing his homemade Farm Day" flag,
was one of the school children to help
in this new celebration in Hart Coun-
ty last September. Perhaps Farm
Day. ought not to be spoken of as a
celebration at all, because it is merely
the school children going to school to
a good farmer and his wife for a day.
But then it was a celebration for the
good neighbors and parents of the
school children, so perhaps 1t was some
thing of a mixture of celebration and
a going to school that pleased every
body immensely.
Farm Day goes to show that new
things in the life of the rural schools
are springing up everywhere, and the
only difficulty in using them nationally
is, that the change of administration
at Frankfort is putting into office a
new man as Superintendent every four
years. No matter how strong a school
man he might be, he has no time in
which to develop school matters over
a long period, and so the school and
the children suffer.
On the 10th of September the chill
dren and teachers of % schools went

best farm and home in the neighbor-
hood to visit for the whole day. Every
body had been notified a week in adj
vance, so that each child and every
visitor brought a lunch. Instead Of

Farm lands without trained brains
lose their fertility. Good roads with
out a real citizenship go to pieces.
Fine stock without technical skill
loses it's value. Real homes without
the light of education grow dark and
dismal The school is the only safe

DIR. CLARKE'S SISTER
DIES AT FAIRFIELD

Fairfield, Aug. 2. The people of
Fairfield were greatly shocked and
saddened Saturday afternoon when
word spread over the city that Miss
EmmaW. Clarke had passed away at
1870 p. m. It the jefferson county nos
pital. Only the intimate friends of Miss
Clarke were aware that her condition
was serious and the greater majority
of friends did not know that she mad
entered the hospital for treatment.
Miss Clarke submitted to delicate
operation Wednesday afternoon and
she consented to do SO only after re-
peated consultations with eminent
specialists. She rallied after the oper
nicely when complications set in Satur,
alton and was seemingly recovering
nicely when complications, set in Sat
ruday morning and her death resulted.
Miss Clarke was about go years OF
age and was the only sister of DR.. J.
Fred Clarke Of this city. She had
spent the greater part of her life in
Fairfield and was an educated and pro-
gressive type of woman. She was an
ardent believer in political equality for
men and women and in the past two
or three years had been an ardent
worker for the cause.
Funeral services will be held this
afternoon at o'clock at the home OF
her brother, DR.. ]. Fred Clarke on the
corner of Jefferson and Third streets
1nterment will be made in Evergreen
cemetery.

big cinder levee that protects the Nor
rell property was the object of close
watching Sunday afternoon and night.
It was only a matter of few inches
until the water would Qvernow tnls
dixie and the possibilities for consla-
cradle damage were apparent. MUSK
rat holes in the levee were plugged
and soft places made firm. Opposite
this section one might see Bakers
grove which was entirely overf1owed
and the water backed for a great dis
lance all over that part Of lower South
Ottumwa.
Morreils Not Damaged.
The water began backing up out OF
the sewers on Hayne and some OF the
other streets between the Burlington
wards and the river and for a time
threatened damage in the low LANDS
there. With the receding Of the water
this danger passed. Farther east ana
south into the vast tract occupied by
the packing house for its plant ana
stock yards, the water had risen con-
siderably but did no damage to the
Morrell concern other than flooding
much of the broad expanse OF GROUND
behind the plant. The fields mere
which were planted and Whlcn nad
been submerged early in June, were
again under water, although much OF
# was hidden from view by the helght
of the crops. In places the water was
too deep to be safe for anyone to ven

nearly deserted Sunday with the excep-
ton of few people who we're there
to look after their boats. The yard is
under water, and it is difficult to get to
the building without getting wet feet.
Several adventurous members Of the
club, were shooting the dam Sunday
in canoes. The dam Is now under wa
ter and cannot be seen except for the
heavy ripples caused by the water
striking it. The current there Is very
swift and the canoes are carried down
stream very rapidly.
All the lowlands around the boat
house are flooded and farther west up
the tracks, back water was coming
over the K. & D. tracks Sunday after
noon. The piece of ground which has
been used as ball park by some Of
the amateur teams, is entirely under
water and many people have been
boating On the improvised lake.

CITY IN TROUBLE
OVER CHAUTAUQUA
NEWTON COUNCIL AND REDPATH
PEOPLE CLASH ABOUT
LICENSE FEE.

Newton, Aug. 1.-The Redpath.vaw'
ter chautauqua people have been hav
ing a merry time of it here in Newton
this season by locking horns with the
city administration over license fee.
About six weeks ago the council
passed an ordinance placing license
on tent shows and graduating it with
regard to the admission charged.
When the Redpath-Vawter people
heard of it they sent man here with
an ultimatum to the effect that unless
the license was RENTED this season
they would not come, and that unless
it was repealed they would not come
next year. This was in the face OF a
big advance seat sale. r--,-
Just before opening of the chau-
tauqua the council decided not to ex-
act the collection of the license but
yesterday the proprietors of the NOV
ing picture shows demanded Of the
mayor that the ordinance be enforced.
The chautaqua superintendent DID
not comply, so warrant was issued
for his arrest. He appeared before
the mayors court and waived hear
ing at this time.
In the meantime all efforts were
stopped on next years guarantee and
the Redpath-Vawter people say they
will carry the matter to the supreme
court. The fee In question was wv.
