Grinnell March ia large audi
ence of community brotherhood mem
bership gathered at the Congregation
al church last evening and listened 10
q scholarly address by Prof. Frank l.
Herriott, Of Drake University, on the
southern influence in the development
OF Iowa. The address was exhaustive
and very full of interest but reNolu"
t!onary towards the IDEAS that have
been largely prevalent that New Eng
land was the seed bed from which
sprung the IDEAS that have developed
and shaped the growth and policies OF
this state. He traced the history or
the settlement OF the southern, the
earliest settled counties, and proved
by the speech, habits and customs,
dress and location Of homes and towns
and their developments that the pre-
ponderance in that section of the state
and in the earlier development was
strongly with the southern. The sur
prise was so great and members OF the
audience had 30 many individual OBJ
servations TO offer in proof of his
statements that the speaker was kept
busy for some time after the meeting
had been dismissed. The next meeting
is to be addressed by a noted speaker
on some phase Of the theme OF taxa
