book question, and among them the
movement to make the entire school
system a feeder for the colleges. The
better schools movement included the
plan to give state aid for normal work
in more than 140 high schools of the
state, to the end that facilities be af-
forded for training teachers for rural
school work. 1t included state aid for
the vocational training in console
dated schools which is establishing the
community center idea all over the
state. This is looked upon by some
as going in the wrong direction. The
present Legislature is to be asked to
provide state aid for the colleges for
normal work in place of increasing the
aid for high schools and TIC make large
expenditures for teacher training at
state educational institutions. 1t is
learned that the opponents otthe pres
ent system are securing the state to
find candidate strong enough to be
reasonably sure Of confirmation If ap-
pointed.

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

Mine months of school for every

"a high school within reasonable dis
lance of every child. thus making it
possible for the child to be at home
every night under parental protection.
Efficient supervision of all the pub

communities.

and girls who may prefer such train
ing.

tional purposes.
Good sanitary conditions in and sur
rounding every school house.
Extension Of public libra ries. con-
venient to every home and school.
provision for vacation employment
schools affording an opportunity for
manual labor or training in the manual
arts for children living in towns and

Question in Controversy.

Des Moines, Feb. 5.-The rivalry
over leadership in the educational
work of the public schools of Iowa APP
pears to have developed into square
contest between conflicting views as
to opposing policies.
The real question at issue, it is now
declared, is whether the progressive
movement in school matters which en-
schools and especially the rural
schools, which looks to betterment of
the work for an army of children who
never get beyond the eighth grade,
which contemplates especial effort to
fit teachers FIR rural and grade school
work, which takes school matters out
of politics and divorces them from all
other interes, s-whether this shall go
on to triumphant conclusions; or
whether there shall be abandonment of
the program and turning backward

'The failure to continue Professor
Deyoe at the head of the department

John Hamill, who was one of the bet

recommendation the greatest forward

mean, and would be accepted as mean
ing, that the work of the department
in the. past fifteen or twenty years
Just now at critical stage, is to be
stopped and abandoned and new
tack be taken and this just because
of powerful influences that have not
been able to dictate or control. 1t
would set back the educational move
ment for better schools ten or twenty
years, in my opinion: for it would be
long before another man would have
the courage to strike out boldly and
independently and make the fight for
the common schools of the state.

head of the department he delivered

of the vital needs Of the common

gave it great impetus and devoted him

kept in the same line and followed 1T

Professor Deyoe for a plan to be de-
vised for actually getting started under

ridden hard for a month at the task.
His first work after coming West
was for Jim Powell, a cousin, near
Fort Davis. He was a mere boy and
received but $25 month and his
board. He refused to take any money
except that necessary to buy his
clothes, which were few, and asked
to be paid in COWS.
In 1889 he had $50 head. After the
start 1t seemed easy to those who
watched Vert Love, but they knew
he was working hard all the time.
He always picked the best cattle
when he bought, and he always picked
the best range for them. The result
was that he lost few cattle by disease
or drought. He watched the markets
and sold right and invested the money
again. i
The result was that when he died
200 men were on his pay roll and his
estate was worth more than $1,000
900. A son nine years old will get
most of It and will probably be the
richest boy In Texas.
