to send children to school in MARSHALL

than to bond a school district and pay
taxes for a new school house and its
upkeep. The tuition of $3.50 per month
for pupils in the grades is said to be
fully 81 per month cheaper than the
actual cost of operating an independ-
ent school in the average consolidated
district. The bus service would be the
same to schools in Marshalltown as to
a consolidated school with the added
advantage that children of high school
age would have a bus service in opera

There were those in the recent
county road convention who refused to
believe that the cost estimates could
be correct The figures used had been
approved by the county engineer who
is supposed to know something about
costs. They conform to the average
experience for actual construction
which has been done, In Iowa. The
state highway engineer says that they
are as accurate as any he could give
without making actual surveys and
estimates from blue prints. Still they
were not believed by some. The point
is that If real costs should vary slight
~ it would affect only the s10.62 which
a $4,000 farm pays toward county
roads in a gear. Mechanics owning
homes In the city worth the same as
that $4,000 farm will pay this year
$50 into the, county bridge fund mostly
for bridges out in the country. The
$4,000 farm will pay only 1910 into
the bridge fund. 1t will pay only
s2s.32 for both bridges and county
roads while the wage workers OF the
city who own $4,000 worth OF real
estate will pay $50 into farmers
bridges and IS more into roads which
the mechanic seldom uses. The
farmers county road levy is fixed by
statute and can not be changed except
by the legislature but good deal OF
the. noise being made about confsca-
ton and mortgaging the farms i for
roads is founded upon fear and not
upon facts. These same wage workers
in town pay another $40 for electric
street lights which earn them nothing
and this is three times what IT would
cost a $4,000 farm for a he ID road
upon the bonding plan. The difference
is that the wage worker wants the
street lights. T 20,
The trouble the city council is hav-
ing with DIRECTORS to paving assess
ments could have been very largely
avoided had the paving law provided
for considering an estimate of assess
ments before the paving was con-
tracted. The new law for creating
paving districts provides that the pro-
posed assessments shall be filed and
hearings held before the work is done.

City May Condemn
Right Of Way

At the adjourned meeting of the
city council last Monday evening
the matter of condemning an alley
way through the Skating Rink
property was brought to tn g
councils attention. A house own
ed by Robert Wood situate between
the Hanning property and the
creek has neither street nor alley
outlet and now that Frank Seroy
is improving the Skating Rink
grounds and has fenced it in, the
occupants of the Woods property
are marooned.
There is talk of opening a public
alley or driveway from Miner
street alongside the Hanning prop
erty and then running it to the
east parallel with Miner street 'to

Contract Awarded
for Standard Tunnel

The contract for driving the
Standard tunnel on Fall river was
awarded last Saturday to Julius
Pardi of Freeland and operations
are already under way. The con-
tract calls for 400 feet of tunnel
work and the sinking of a winze
100 feet.
The Standard tunnel was already
1900 feet in length and the extern
sion of 400 feet more should open
up some good ore bodies. The
tunnel is to be five by seven feet
in the clear.
Contractor Pardi intends to push
the work as fast as two shifts of
men can do it. He will employ
five men at the start and probably
increase his force later on. Mr..
Pardi is an experienced miner and
will no doubt be successful in his
undertaking.

Mrs. Bradford was most fortunate
in her choice of expression in de-
claring that the word "civilization"
cannot be used in con junction with
the countries across the sea. Civ
ilization is not wealth and power
and glare and glory; it is the ex-

and self-sacritice and joy--the
power of putting ones self in the
other fellows place and giving him
a square deal. Not all our child

of our richest districts are the
most miserable schools, while the
Young folks of that community
have the same rights as have those

Parent-TeacherS Hear
Brilliant Address

Mrs. Mary y. ". Bradford mas
been teacher. county superin-
tendent, and is,now state superin-
tendent of public instruction; she
is mother and a grandmother,
and in the latter capacities, and
with the viewpoint of a citizen OF
Colorado, this wonderful woman
spoke to an audience of about two
hundred Parent Teachers Thurs
day night at the High School
auditorium, of the relationship ex-
isting between our homes and
schools. The address was mas
terful, eloquent one.
MUST BE ONE
Mrs. Bradford said that no ma
ton can become great until ma
tional consciousness has been de-
veloped. We shall never realize
great state destiny until we come
to know ourselves as one. Among
the greatest movements tending to
unity US is the Parent-Teachers
association. How could the public
school possibly fail if the home
were doing its duty?
TEACHING AND HOME-MAKING
Of our teachers we expect long
preparation. We want more and
more efficiency. In some cases
we exact degrees. And this is
right, for teaching is difficult
profession-a high and holy call
ing. But there is a position re-
quiring more proficiency, more
conservation; and that is parent
hood. Do fathers and mothers
put themselves through such rigid
preparation as that demanded of
our instructors They do not.
Home-making is not housekeeping.
It is the most exhausting, most
painstaking, most exacting of pro-
fessions. Our schools, though i'm
perfect, are doing more effective,
more glorious work for the build
ing of greater America OF the fu-
ture than are the homes.
EDUCATION OR INSTRUCTION?
Education no longer means
schooling gained within four walls.
One may be well instructed and
not at all educated. Education is
conditioned by life in the home,
the school, the community and
social intercourse. Mrs. Brad
ford's definition of education is
''the Interpretation of life in terms
of efficiency, truth, beauty, free
dom and service or love-. 1t takes
in mind, body and soul.
PARENT. TEACHERS
Where is the meeting place OF
home and school? 1t is the heart
of the child. To him his parents
and his teachers are the sole seats
of truth. If they clash how is he
to know what is right or what is
wrong? An association like this
is splendid place for ideals to
meet; and for home light to be
thrown upon school life, and for
school light to be thrown upon
home life. If parents and teach
ers haven't liked each other, it's
because they didn't know each
other.
Homes exist for the training OF
children. Mrs. Bradford was elo-
quent in her reference to home.
It is ''made of love and life and
tears and smiles-it is the stuff OF
which the Almighty made eter-
nity". Property can be bought
and sold, but home never. Every
arrangement in a rea! home should
be made so that the children may
develop in the highest degree.
