NEW FEATURES
IN OUR SCHOOLS
Part Time Vocational Training Will
Be Featured in loWa's
Educational
System.

Part time vocational schools will
be featured in Iowa's educational
system this year. Superintendent Al
drich has made very comprehensive
report to the Keokuk school board
in the matter, and his report has
been accepted. The provisions OF
the new law are that there shall be
instruction for child workers, at
least eight hours per week, and TINS
will mean a shortening of the work
hours.
J. V. Linn, state superintendent OF
trade and industrial education, is
preparing to enforce the establish
ment this fall in about twenty cities
OF Iowa, of part time vocational
schools. which must be attended by
child workers.
These schools will make effective
the two companion measures enacted
bv the last general assembly, which
provide az that all minors between
the ages of II and 16 who are work
ing for their living must attend
school eight hours week during the
school year. and (2) reduction of the
lawful child labor week from 4S to
40 hours, thus providing time for
this schooling.
The law provides that these part
time classes must be established in
every school district in which there
are fifteen or more work certificates
issued. Probably twenty communl-
ties will be affected by this classifi-
cation, Mr.. Linn estimates. the law
becomes effective when the school
wear opens next month.
The cost of these classes, Mr.. Linn
declares, will be paid largely out OF
federal and state FUNDS. Local
school boards" he stated. will be
reimbursed for large part of the
cost of instruction out Of the federal
(Smith- Hughes) fund, which amounts
this year to $4,000 for all vocational
work. In addition to the federal
money, the state legislature voted
$40 600 to be spent in aiding voca-
tional education, and the part-time
schools will share in the distribution
of this state fund"
The curriculum Of these schools
for working boys and girls Will be
entirely vocational, according to MI.
Linn. Instruction Is to be divided
into three classifcations: O citizen
ship, through classes in community
civics, social hygiene and Industrial
(2) technical skill, for
boys through shop work; for girls
a course in home making,
and G., personal development
through instruction in business and
arithmetic, science, geog-
raphy and English.

around the churches to honor their
own dead, there Is wreath for the
American soldiers who lie in the
bigger burial grounds near the city
or on the edge OF battlefield.
In some of the communities there
have been erected monuments to
these American heroes by the French
people. One community in south

beautiful marble shaft to the mem
ory of the first boy In hospital de-
tachment stationed there to lose his
life. Two nurses who are buried
nearby are remembered daily by the
French mothers. Officers and men

The question of bringing the boys

SUMMER FORAGEs FOR COWS
Plan. Recommended by Missouri Col
leoe Expert Calls for Seeding
Of Sudan Grass.

A good general plan recommended
by Prof. SWEET, of Missouri Agricul-
tural college, for providing late pas
ture for cows is to plant Sudan grass
about June 1, at. the rate of sixteen
pounds TO the acre. This should yield
ten to fifteen tons to the acre and
should be ready for feeding from about
July Is to August l. An early matur-
Ing variety of soy beans planted at the
rate of thirty pounds to the acre May
30 will be available for feeding from
about August l to 20. A good north
ern variety of corn planted about the
middle or May at the rate of six
quarts to the acre will become avail
able about August 10 and can be fed
whenever needed. The second crop Of
Sudan grass will be ready to cut about
August % to September 1. Cow peas
planted at the rate of five pecks per
acre about July l may be fed from
about August % to September 10.
After this time field corn may be used
al any time. Sorghum crops give good
results during the late summer.
