OCTOBER TWENTIETH IOWA DAY
Public Schools Requested To Observe
the Day With an Appropriate
Program.

Friday, October 20, has been dea-
ignated as Iowa Day. The 8 ate SUI
perintendent OF public instruction
has issued a request to the public
schools asking them TO observe this
day with an appropriate program in
the course of which the pupils may
be told something Of Iowa's interest
ing history, of her development, of
her resources, OF the position she oc-
cupies among the group of states,
and of the wonderful opportunities
that are now knocking at her door.
The suggestion has been endorsed
by the Greater Iowa association and
the story of what Iowa accomplished
at the worlds fair in San Francisco
last year, has been sent TO every
school teacher, together with brief
resume of the efforts that are being
made along all lines towards the
achievements Of the Greater Iowa.
The observance of Iowa day
.shCald lie an annual event." urges
the secretary of the Greater Iowa as
aociation. THE students in our
-chyol5 learn a great deal concerning
the history Of the world but they are
taught very little more about Iowa
square miles, that it is a rolling
prairie country, grows corn with rea-
sonable success and produces con-
siderable live stock. They should
be told the story of the early pilgrim
ages OF Marquette and Joliet-they
should know the romantic story of
Julien Dubuque, the first white sett-
Ter in Iowa, and his association with
the Indians; the coming of Giallare,
lesson, LeClair and Colonel Daven-
portal pioneers. Iowa history is
replete with instances of which the
children love to hear.
Our school children should know
that Iowa is the only state in the
Union the products of whose fields
approximate a billion dollars a year
or one hundred million dollars a
month. They should be told that
one of the largest steel freight car
manufactures in the United States
is in Iowa and that it is even now
building 1000 cars for the Russian
government; that there is a factory
in Iowa that is making farm tractors
for China and Australia and South
Africa, that Iowa made gasoline en-
gines have been pumping the water
out of the blood soaked trenches Of
Europe for the past two years; an
that Iowa built locomotives were use(
in the construction of the Panam;
canal and that they haul trains
through the rice fields of Japan.
How many pupils in our schools
or grown folks, for that matter
have any conception of Iowa's Scent
beauty? How many know that low;
has the lowest percentage of Hitter
acy and the greatest per capt.;
wealth of any equal area in all tn
world?
BY all means let us have an Iow
Day every year; let us tell the child
rem how fortunate they are 20 live il
Iowa. The children will tell the oil
folks-and then we will have achiey
ed our Greater Iowa"

When God raised our Lord from

Him as a reward for His faithfulneSs,
and the human life which He had not
