Court Asked to Prevent
Cemetery From Dividing
Streets Into Burial Lots

In an equity suit filed against the
Oak Hill Cemetery Association, S. s.
Pick, of Millersburg, as plaintiff,
petitions the Dauphin county court
for an order against the officers to
prevent them from selling lots in
streets in the cemetery which they
have ordered vacated.
In the bill it is explained that Mr..
Pick is the owner of a lot at the
corner of Clymer and Ray streets
and that in purchasing it the con-
sideration was based on the fact that
it was a corner lot. The deed was
dated March 19, 1878. Recently
officers of the association without
proper authority, he alleges, vacated
Columbus, Penn, Hopkins, Prairie,
Morris, Frank, Millersburg and Cly-
mer streets, and as a result his lot is
no longer corner one. I
Tt is explained that the streets
have been laid out in lots and at
least one of these has been sold.
The bill closes with a petition for
an order restraining the sale of any
more lots in the streets, declaring the
action in vacating the streets void
and directing that they should be
restored to their former condition
and be kept open. The defense will
have thirty days in which to file
an answer after which a hearing will
be held in court.

school principals throughout the
State are all in favor of field and
track athletics as it is great aid
in the discipline of the schools and
in scholarship because a certain per-
centage is required in all studies OF
each pupil; in addition it keeps the
bodies in perfect health and aids IN
their development and also helps
in the development of Will power,
teaching boys to stick to it to the end
and develops manly spirit in de-
feat.
These meets have advertised Har-

Waterloo, Ia.--Owing to the grave
shortage of teachers the board OF
educational examiners, at a recent
meeting decided to let down the bars
relax conditions of certificates, as
1t were-in order to recruit the
ranks of the teachers in Iowa
This news came to Fl. C. Moeller,
( 'unty superintendent.
1t is reported that the state IL
short 1000 or more teachers. with
little prospect of obtaining additional
instructors unless conditions of GER
tification be relaxed.
1t was ruled that during the bal
ance af the school year, or until
June, 1920, the following provisions
shall govern all county superintend-
ents. ... (.
First-Admit to the uniform ex-
aminations in October and November
girls who have passed their seven
teenth birthday and completed a
course in normal training, either in.
high school or in any other institut-
ion. These girls would be given pro-
visional certificates until they reach
their eighteenth birthday. In 1906
the law was changed making it nee
essary for a girl to be 1S years old
before being able to get certificate
to teach.
Second--Is Issue provisional certifi-
Gates to any man or woman who held
a first or second grade certificate

+, This means that, no matter how old
a person may be nor how little know
ledge he or she may have possessed
at the time, any one who held GER
tificate Of the grades described to
thirteen years ago may be employed
to instruct the children OF Iowa. The
object Of this relaxation ofsthe rules,
is to call scioolma'ams and schoo, :
masters of fourteen. twenty. twenty
six, thirty or forty years bacl, into
the fast dwindling ranks of the peda-
gogues.
1t will be of interest to note tha
effect of this invitation of girls OF II
and of the old timers to Join the

Senator VIM. S. Kenyon has been
working strenuously and has made
himself quite useful all summer. His

job or for more work, just now. But
the Washington newspaper people
seem to delight in talking about men

we take some paragraphs as follows.
"No man can be a candidate for
president who is not an orator, and
Senator Kenyon qualities" Fraser
Edwards, an observer of interesting
bits OF Information at the capital,
writes in the Washington Post.
Edwards story was about boom
for president started for the junior
Iowa senator by some reporter who
remarked that 'if Kenyon settled the
steel strike by his investigation, it
would make him sure fire presiden-
Itial candidate"
Kenyon, however. says he has no
ambitions toward the presidency. Ed
wards, however, takes the view that
the Iowa legislature may be overruI-
ed, remarking:
sRut, despite his protestations. Sen
ator Kenyon may have HIS present
aversion to the job oyerruled. Ken
