Plans were discussed for making
the county organizations permanent at
an early date when the new county

than $1,000 was pledged by the differ
ent chairmen in the name of their
counties and this sum will be used
towards dissipating the debt incurred
at the time of the campaign. With
this additional sum the original debt
OF $1,000 will be reduced one-half.

TELLS OF INFANTILE PARALYSIS.
Coroner Wildman, of Webster County,
Familiar With Disease.


Familiar With Disease.
Fort Dodge, July THE district in
New York City that is having the larg-
est number Of cases of the infantile
paralysis is well known to DR.. Murray
Wildman, Webster county coroner. as
he was in charge Of the ambulance in
that section for some time. His terri
tory was on the east side from Forty
ninth to Seventy -second street. DR..
Wildman declared that the conditions
existing in that section Of the city
would make it hard to fight the disease
and that before the epidemic died out
there would be many more deaths.
THE cause Of infantile paralysis"
said the coroner, ais as hard to deter
mine as the disease itself. The belief
several years ago that breathing dust
from an automobile would bring on the
paralysis has been largely disproven.
It is contagious as are measles anu
similar cases and the germs are carried
in dust and common carriers of dis
ease. Hot weather has no immediate
effect upon an epidemic of infantile
paralysis except that intestinal all
ments are more prevalent in the sum-
mer season. This makes the disease
more likely to break out in summer.
The symptoms are exactly like
those of stomach disorder. The victim

Special to Times Republican.
Hampton, July with the advent
of the consolidated school in this por-
ton of the state has come also the
problem Of how best to adapt it's ad :
| vantages to such communities as have
no centrally located town or village in
| which to place the school building, and
this situation may have deferred some
from adapting the new plan. A case
in point is that of Morgan township.
in this county, where it is proposed to
erect nine new school houses on the
old district plan, replacing the old ones
at the same site.
Mr.. F. B. Sheldon, Of Rowan, sug-
gests plan for such districts that so
far as known, is new, but seems to
have sufficient merit to deserve trial.
Mr. Sheldon is prominent business
man and an earnest advocate for bet
ter schools. The plan is respectfully
recommended to Morgan township peo-
pie as one combining many of the ad-
vantages of the old divisions and also
the consolidated schools.
In the center of the civil township
would be carved a central district TIRES
miles square, except that 100 acres in
each corner would not be included. Its
area would be equal to eight square
miles, and at the center Of this dis
trict would be located the building to
accommodate the high school of the
township and the grade scheo! of the
district.
Four District Schools.
The balance of the township would
be divided into four districts. one in
each corner, for the grade pupils Of
that district, and the grade building
would be located at a central point one
mile from either ownship line. For
instance for district No. /, in the
northeast corner. the building would
be at the common corner of sections I
and IL. The corner districts would
each have an area equal to seven seq
tons. The greatest distance high
school pupil could live from his CEN
trail school would be six miles. Grade
pupils of the corner districts might live
as far as three miles from their school,
and in the central district, two and
one-half miles.
When 1t Is recalled that in consoli-
dated districts some small pupils must
ride flvebr six miles, the advantage of
this plan for the little folks is very
apparent. In this way too, is provided
a township meeting place for enter
tainments, recreation, debating socie-
ties, sociables, and the like. In short it
is a compromise between the old dis
tricts and the consolidated plan, but
retaining practically all the advantages
of both, and few disadvantages.
