IOWA FOOTBALL HIT.
EDUCATIONAL coMMis SiON TO
BAR SPORT IN SCHOOLS.
Report Declares Games Cause Feuds
and Recommends They Be Abol-
ished-CoIleges Scored.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 1.-THE re-
port of the educational commission, APP
pointed by the United States commits
siOner of education to make II survey
of conditions and problems in lowa's
state institutions of learning% was
given out by the state board of educa-
ton, at whose request the commission
was appointed and the survey made.
Their recommendation which will, 1t
Is thought, attract greatest popular at
tentiOn is that which recommends the
temporary discontinuance of football
(and perhaps basebalD games between
State university and the State College
of Agriculture at Ames."
In its recommendation the commits
sion says:
THE commission has already several
times referred to the unfortunate bit
terness which characterizes the atti-
tude of the partisans of each of the
state institutions toward those of the
other. 1t represents a devastating
blight fastened upon the whole educa-
tional system of the state. The COM
mission recommends the temporary
discontinuance of intercollegiate foot
ball (and perhaps basebalD between
the Iowa State university and the Iowa
State college.
The commission Is reliably informed
that the annual football game between
those institutions is the occasion of the
revival of feuds, charges and counter
charges and the reassertion of differ
enceS and criticisms which at boSt have
only poor reason for existence. That
form of loyalty cannot of itself in the
long run be good thing for the state
or its Institutions"
Following is the personnel of the in
vestigating commission:
Dean James II. Angel, University of
sity of Illinois; DR.. l.. s. Bailey, Cor

CATION. The investigation began in
November, 1918.
In presenting the report the state
board makes the following assertion:
THE board of education wishes to
say that so far as the more radical rec
concentrations of the report are con.
cerned, it has no intention of putting
them into effect except, as they may
win through their merit of the approval
of the educational public and the
broad-minded cooperation of the in.
stitutions themselves"

THE WORK IS STARTED
Ground Broke For the New and
Greater Penn College.

EXcavating for the new 100000
Penn College main building has begun
and contractor Neumann plans to have
the fOotings set early next week. A
large force of men are now engaged in
the work and the digging of the base
ment is being rushed as rapidly as
possible.
Most of the dirt, must be removed
from the west end of the structure,
where the ground is raised consider
ably over the east and central por-
ton. The dirt taken from this end,
is being hauled to the center and
back of the building plot, filling few
low places.
Brick and tile for the building are
now being placed upon the grounds.
A number of wagons are engaged in
hauling the material, until the perma-
nent railroad spur or switch can be
installed, running from the M. & St.
L. main line.
WIN the commencement or tne
erection of the new college structure
comes the opening of the new Penn
addition. From now on the new plot,
added recently to the city of Oskaloo-
sa, will be one of the busiest spots
in Oskaloosa. The immediate erection
of two additional structures, along
with the main building, and the con-
struction of several beautiful resi-.
dences and homes on the addition,
promises much building activity for
Oskaloosa. Penn College alone will
spend 100000 for buildings, while the
erection of the school will bring many
purchasers of lots in the addition to
the city and cause the erection OF
homes upon their land.
Just how much of the new college
building can be built before winter in
terferes is not known, but an effort
will be made to erect the basement
and first floor walls before cold wea-
Their. The construction of the ladies
dormitory and the new gymnasium
cannot commence until next spring.

COUNTY HOSPITAL NOW
Proposition to Accept the Property
Favored by Voters

The county board of supervisors
finished their official canvas of the
election returns Tuesday mornin,
and when the total was made on the
County Hospital proposition they
found that it carried with majority
of eight hundred and thirty-one
votes. This means that Mahaska
county will take over the property OF
The Oskaloosa Hospital valued at
shout 100000, and in so doing will
comply with provisions made in re-
cent laws passed upon this question.
At recent session of the legisla-
ture they made a law which provided
that county may raise twenty or
thirty thousand dollars, according to
population, for building hospital,
and since the Oskaloosa hospital is
already in place, and in the finest
condition possible, the county takes
over the property with a great saw
ing
In taking over the hospital it is
also hoped that the people will see
the need of building an addition, thus
complying with the recent laws made
which make it imperative that hos
pital have at least forty beds before
they may have a recognized training
school for nurses. This provision
does not take effect until 1918, which
will give them ample time to make
the necessary improvements.
The constitutional amendment vot.
"a upon at the same election carried
by a majority OF 1,4S0, which gives
the legislature the right to change
the election day from its former day,
Tuesday to Monday, whenever they
may see fit to do so.
