keokuk High School Pupils Have In.
terestinp Program Tomorrow In
Honor Of Iowa
Day.
TO OBSERVE MILK WEEK
Pupils Who Have Been Taking Spe-
cial instruction In Domestic
Science VIII Speak on
Topics.

Greater Iowa day will be observed
in Keokuk high school tomorrow.
Greater Iowa will be emphasized in
all OF the classes, and at the mass
meeting preparatory to the football
game with LaHarpe Saturday,
Greater Iowa athletics will be empha-
sized. The state university has one
of its greatest teams this season,
and Iowa schools generally are play
ing football and taking up athletic
work.
In connection with the emphasis Of
Greater Iowa, there will be q recog-
milton of milk week. Speakers from
the domestic science department will
speak on the value and benefits of
milk as food. These speakers,
chosen from the classes, are taking
special training this week, in the
domestic science department under
direction Of Miss Cora I. Wilson,
special teacher of that subject. This
idea OF having the pupils make the
talk, as result Of their own research
in the subject, Is to be commended.
At the mass meeting which will be
held at 4 o'clock there will be en-
phasis placed on Grearer rowa atm
letics. The state university's team,
Illinois, after hard battle, Is one
of the best in the Big Ten confer
ence, and an example to all Iowa
schools.
Making Better Citizens.
This observance OF Greater Iowa
day is only one of the features OF
the program which is being carried
out in Keokuk high school in the
matter Of the building Of better citi-
zens. Keokuk students are being
given knowledge of current events,
and are being taught lessons of value
to them In later life, through appli-
cation OF the theories and principles
Of events of the present day.
The pupils who are going to pre-
sent the gospel of milk as a food.
are going to have far greater faith
in it as they carry along the expert
ences of their own research and the
pupils to whom they impart that
lesson are going to be much more
Interested, than had some outsider
with yards OF propaganda at his fin
ger tips, deluged the pupils with
figures and the like.
In all of the departments of the
school there will be stress laid on
Greater Iowa. Keokuk high school |
pupils are going to know their own |
state better than they ever did be- !
fore, and knowing 1t are going to \
be proud OF old Iowa.
