ping at Greenville to see their consolid
ated school building and teachers home
Wednesday afternoon and evening, ses
slons of the conference were held in the
gymnasium Of the Spirit Lake schoo
building. Spirit Lake has population
OF about two thousand and is one of the
largest towns in the state included in q
consolidated district. The building was
put up at cost of about 500, 900 and is
said to be the largest consolidated
school building in the world.
The Spirit Lake Commercial Club
furnished autos for the trip, Thursday,
to the consolidated schools of Dickinson
County. Another rain had made it
almost impossible to get out with cars
so we did not reach as many schools as
was planned. However, we succeeded
IN visiting at Terril and Milford by
noon. and Arnold's Park, West Oko-
DoJl tanother open country schooD and
Superior in the afternoon. The last
session OF the conference was held in
the gymnasium at Spirit Lake, Friday
morning.
Space has permitted me only to men
ton the different schools visited, but in
later articles we s.all attempt to give
you something more definite.
Although we could not visit nearly all
Of the consolidated schools in these
Counties lin Dickinson County alone
there is over 300 sections of contiguous
territory under consolidation besides
some other districts) we visited all
three classes, those in large towns,
those in villages and those in the open
country and in every case they are
success and source of pride and pleas
ure to the people. Those people have
proven that transportation is not impos-
sible. They are doing it and doing it
SO successfully that in that section of
the state it is no longer talking point
in opposition to consolidation. And the
wonderful part of it is that after dis
trict has been organized and in opera
alton for a year even that point is
almost forgotten. l wish that the
people of Howard County could go over
there and talk to the taxpayers them
selves. l wish that you could see those
buildings with their gymnasiums for
athletics and social centers; l wish you
could see those boys and girls in COM
Portable seats and well lighted and
pleasant rooms. 1t would make you
glad for what is coming to your child
rem in short time. No county in the
Itate OF Iowa can for many years fail I
% SEQ how much they need such .sys-
lem. Two-thiros of the counties now
have et least one consolidated school.
iowa boasts Of one hundred and eighty
;htee such districts at present while
many other proposed districts are soon
% hold their election.

Rural School Notes.

The Superint endents' Conference held
in Beuna Vista, Clay and Dickinson
Counties, May 1896, for the purpose of
visiting some Of the consolidated schools
was one of the greatest opportunities
the Superintendent of Iowa ever had.
We met first at Sioux Rapids, little
town of about thousand population
with new consolidated school building
costing $4,000. There, Tuesday morn
ing we watched the buses come in
and unload their precious cargo of rural
boys and girls. 1t was. fine to see
them.
The Sioux Rapids Commercial Club
had planned to take us by auto to visit
Lynn Grove, High View and Marathon
schools but the rain prevented their
starting in the morning. We, there
fore, went by rail to Lynn Grove,
town of something over five hundred
population, where the buss drivers met
US at the station and took US to the
school house. Here we found another
practically new building, up-to-date in
every way. In the gymnasium we
found prepared by the domestic science
class, sumptuous dinner. The tables
were decorated in orange and green.
Some of the boys helped to serve (there
were almost one hundred guests) while
others were in the orchestra which
played throughout the noon hour.
Everything was a success from the
beginning to the end. Isn't it grand
to see country boys and girls receiving
a training like that? l want to say to
you, they can do it, and those people
are to be congratulated who have the
spirit and the progress to go into such
a proposition and carry it through right.
In the afternoon the autos succeeded
in making the trip from Sioux Rapids
and twenty-seven auto loads went on
from Lynn Grove to High View School,
which is out in the open country sever
Il miles from any town. Here the dis
trict included % or 80 sections but %
his is not enough to run . High School
hey are going to take in more territory
next year. The building cost about
p13, 900. They are bound to give their
'oys and girls every opportunity that
he boys and girls in town have. The
PRESIDENT of the school board said in his
ak to Us that evening, Il have 2lO
cres of land and my taxes are high,
ut I'd rather pay more and have q
'etter school next year." Does that
ound as if he considered consolidation ,
failure? This man is . Scandinavian
md doesn't speak English easily, but
le made it plain to US he had not had
n opportunity for an education him
elf but he was determined that his ,
'oys and girls should have as good as it !
, possible for him to give them. The ,
Dads were bad to Marathon, so from
Iigh View we returned to Sioux
.apids where stop of thirty minutes
vas made at the school building for the
of witnessing the eight buses
tart on their trip of transporting the
hildren to their homes. An inspec-
ion of the Cornell School was then
,ade, and the return trip to Sioux
.apids. Cornell has novel teachers >
ONE built from two one-room school
ouses.

chools? wish you could have seen

HIGH COURT IS CHALLENGED
o. N. Hilton of Denver Denies Charges
in |. w. w. Leaders Funeral
in Chicago.

Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. 21.-O. N.
Hilton of Denver, attorney for Joseph
Hillstrom, tAe |. w. W. leader who was
executed here November 10 for the
murder of J. G. Morrison, makes a gen.
eral denial and challenges the juris-
dictiOn of the supreme court of Utah in
his answer filed in the disbarment pro-
ceedings instituted here by the Utah
State Bar association. The proceed
ings grew out of an address made by
Hilton at Hillstrom's funeral in Chi
cago, in which Hilton was said to have
asserted that the Utah supreme court
was influenced by the Mormon church
in declining to grant Hillstrom a new
trial. Hilton alleges in his answer that
his utterances were IAN expression of
opinion upon the principles of policy,
and not an abuse of the right of free
speech" and that the court is therefore
without Jurisdiction.

ASQUIrH GETS BIG SUM
HOUSE OF COMMONS PASSES ST.
1oo,ooo,ooo VOTE OF CREDIT.
Premier Tells How the Daily Cost
Of the War Keeps
Growing.

London, Feb. 22-The house Of
commons before rising went into CON-
mittee of the whole and passed the
S2,100,000,000 vote of credit asked by
Premier Asquith.
After the opening of the session OF
parliament Premier Asquith intro
duced in the house OF commons the
expected votes of credit aggregating
&42OO0O,00O.
The first vote of credit was on the
supplementary estimate for the cur
rent fiscal year. bringing up the total
war expenditures for the year to G1,-
42O,O00,O00. This appropriation is for
G120,000,000. The second vote, to
provide funds for the first part of the
financial year beginning April l.,
amounts to e3O0,0O0,O0O.
Mr.. Asquith told the house that the
daily expenditure from April / to July
II of last year was 92,S00,0O0; from
July Is to September II, G3,500,00O;
from September II to November 6,
e4,450,000; from November to Feb
ruary 10, 1916, between e4,S00,O00
and e4,400,000.
Loans to Great Britain's allies and
to the dominions on November 6 last
amounted to 100000. Between
November and February 10 the
amount loaned was e70,6O0,0OO, max.
ing a total of e168, 100000.
Munitions for the army and navy
from April last to February 10 had
cost e834, 100000. the premier stated.
Mr.. Asquith said that loans to allies
OF Great Britain and to her dominions
showed substantial increase since
November 1 and that the growth IN
the rate OF expenditure was entirely
due to loans TO allies from the vote
of credit, These by no means repre-
scented the total advance to allies;
they simply represented advances
from the vote OF credit. In addition
to these advances there we're ad-
vances made by the Bank of England
at the request of the government. The
under this head, he said,
probably would reach f423.000.000.
The vote of credit for the remainder
OF the financial year allowed an am
pie margin for contingencies, such as
the purchase OF American securities.
he added. The vote OF credit OF
f300 .000,0 900 raised the total votes of
credit for the war to e2,os2, 200. 900.
