Phases Of loWa's Present Day
Activities-Other Features

Iowa day, Friday, October Gath,
viii be observed practically in all the
public schools of the state and also in
the private and parochial schools, ac'
cording to plans being worked out by
State Superintendent of Public In
struction P. u. ,McClenahan. Super
intendent McClenahan is communicat-
ing with tho superintendents of
schools throughout the state concern
ing the general scheme of Iowa day
celebration and suggesting a program
which is quite comprehensive.
1t Is proposed that five or six pupils
in each of the schools be designated
to learn a short story, each about a
different phase of Iowa's present day
activities. II the scholar is particular
ly apt she or she will learn the story by
memory and recite it, otherwise 1t
will be read.
The five subjects selected treat
with history and government, agri-
culture and animal husbandry, man.
udacturing, merchandising, civic prog
ress.
Lists of Iowa made goods are being
distributed to all of the schools, and
an effort made to have some sore OF
contest, giving the prize to the schol'
ar who can enumerate the largest mum
ber of Iowa made products or who can
stand the best examination on this
subject
The basic idea of the Greater Iowa
week is not to build wall around
Iowa, that will keep Iowa made goods
at home or keep competitive goods
out of Iowa. 1t is merely an effort to
acquaint the people of the state with
the manufacturing resources and de-
yelopment Of their state, and the GER
alton of pride in industrial progress,
that will, in some measure, be COM
mensurate with their pride in our
progress in agriculture and animal
husbandry.
indications are that Iowa day eel
ebration will be great success this
year. " s7s.s,..
