Normal Training In High Schools
Criticized by seeriey.
Special to Times-Republican.
Cedar Falls, Oct. IL. - Various
changes are necessary in tho normal
training high school system which
has been generally adopted in Iowa,
owing to the immaturity of the
average high school student, as he
can not acquire the necessary train
ing for teachers, declared President
Homer H. seerley,. of the Iowa State
Teachers College in the opening adj
dress before the delegates at the
normal training high school con-
ference, which opened a two-da ses-
sion here this morning.
1.-THE high school age is too young
to permit professional instruction to
be well and effectively given by any
system that may be inaugurated and
developed by educators. The average
high school pupils Of today are too
immature to deal with elementary
Psychology, school management and
methods of instruction. Years OF ex-
pertinent satisfied mo that the think
ing and studying as such business
as teaching demands is for men and
women rather than boys and girls"
the I. S. T. G. head said.
Further DR.. Seerley stated. 1.-THE
system of high school education be-
longs to studies that are secondary in
their nature rather than of higher
education in development and think
ing and have therefore no suitability
for attempts to introduce such studies
as are professional in kind and
character. The main problem in all
education is to have studies suit the
mental development Of the students
rather than to hope to override the
Psychological law and the principles
of training by legal fiction.
Training requires mature 1udg-
ment, wise comprehension OF the mind
to be taught and a thorough knowl-
edge and mastery Of tho subject mat
ter to be communicated to the pupil
under instruction. The use of the
word training is misnomer as it
is now being employed by those who
are administering the high school
law under such descriptive term" the
I. S. T. C. tutor declared.
In suggesting remedy for the pre-
vailinE situation, DR.. Seerley de-
c1ared, there is no use for Iowa
people to deceive themselves by try
ing to believe that the present sys-
tenn will give permanent relief to the
teacher shortage condition that now

and qualities for the position.
Mr.. Byrnes' reason for leaving Is
twofold, neither of which, it is said,
has any relation to the city finances
andthe condition in which they have
been. Mr.. Byrnes is going into BUSH
ness and as soon as he leaves the
treasurer's office will become sales
manager for the Hawkeye Lightning
Rod Company, one Of the newer but
rapidly developing manufacturing
concerns Of this city.
But aside from the position which
has been offered him, Mr.. Byrnes Is
resigning because he feels the sal

and responsibility is insufficient.

OVERHEAD IRRIGATION PAYS.
Perry Gardner Makes Small Fortune
on Acreage Tract.

on Acreage Tract.
Perry Oct. If. NJ Faxel, who
for the past two years has been In
the gardening game on an acreage
tract in the south part OF the city,
has proven conclusively that hard
work and a knowledge OF intensive
farming will bring as much money
from a few acres Of ground as many
farmers get from a quarter section.
Mr.. Fazel has been in the game
only two years. but he has already
made a success Of 1t. He has en-
countered obstacles and made mis-
takes but even then has been sue
cessful. Altogether he has fifteen
acres OF land, from which he has
marketed about $4,000 worth OF pro-
duce. but the greater part OF his ef-
forts have been devoted to the cult
walton OF tract OF three acres.
From this three acres he has sold
$3.50 worth Of stun this year. and
exclusive OF his own time, his ex.
penses have not been over $500. He
has raised strawberry plants. straw
berries. tomatoes. cabbage. egg
plants, green beans. pie plant. aspar-
agus, radishes and, lettuce and
onions. and most Of 1t has been mar
keted In Perry and vicinity. The
garden is operated under the Skin
ner system OF overhead irrigation,
the water being taken from the Perry
mains. Last year his bill for water
was less than $50 and 1t will prob
ably not be any greater this year.
Mr.. Fazel's biggest revenue came
from the sale Of strawberry plants.
and all Of these were raised on three
city lots. He sold $1,000 worth OF
plants to the Henry Field Company
alone, and he expects ultimately to
go into the plant raising business ex-
clusively.
On the twelve acre tract which is
not under irrigation, Mr.. Fazel has
raised potatoes, cabbage. popcorn,
sweet potatoes. cabbage and cane,
together with q hundred bushels of
onions. He plans eventually to
haYe the entire fifteen acres under
an irrigation system. and when he
accompanies this, Mr.. Fazel declares
that he Will get bigger return than
a farmer can make from 100 acres OF
corn land.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, Oct. 1.-THE new
state park near Keosauqua, compris-
ing some 900 acres in the river bend
of the Des Moines river is to be dedi-
Gated on Wednesday,, Oct. 81. Gov
ernor w. L. Harding and DR.. L. N.
Pammel Of Ames, president OF the
state conservation board, will be the
principal speakers.
On the evening previous to the
dedication q sort Of community
meeting Is to be held on the park
grounds where the policy of game
preservation for the future will be
fully discussed. For more than
eighty years this region has been
famous for its scenic beauty. The
Des Moines river makes O horseshoe
curve in this territory and the bluffs
In many places are rough and
picturesque.
It has also been a breeding place
for foxes, wolves, racoons, skunks,
minks, and oppossums and Of pleas
ants, ruffed grouse and other wild
birds. The state board OF conserva-
ton which Is in direct charge OF the
park work has for Its policy the pro-
lection OF wild bird and animal life
and yet 1t is recognized that there is
q problem with regards to predatory
birds and animals. The new state
park will be a game reserve but 1t is
expected that some agreement will
be reached as to the protection of
farm stock from these wild animals.
A fox hunt Is to be q part OF the
program of dedication In fact, the
rules being that the fox Is to be
scared up and chased. II possible.
but not killed. Pedigreed fox hounds
are plentiful In this region, Secretary
Harlan Of tho state historical depart
lment reports, and fox hunts have
been common In that region for many
years. 5
The oitixens Of Keosauqua and
vicinity have contributed literally to
the purchase Of this area because of
their particular interest in having
the natural beauty Of the region pre-
served. The cost Of the area has
been around $50 per acre.
This is the second formal dedica-
ton OF q state park, the first one be-
Ing the new park in Delaware county.
