Need Reorganization.

The Thorsdalc murder in Polk coun-
ty and the Magnuson murder in Ala
makec county should cry ont to every
citizen of the state for the speediest
possible reorganization of our rural
system. The very least that we should
give the pupils and teachers OF the r'-
raj schools is safety. protection ana a
reasonable degree of comfort in their
work. Iowa has made a splendid start
in the matter of building consolidated
rural schools and providing protec-
ton for those who are employed IN
these splendid buildings but there IS
still much to be done along this line,
and just now there seems to he Il re-
action tending to retard this move
ment.

Statement in Full.

The murder of Miss Inga Magnuson.
the twcmty-one year old school teacher
mt WauIion. just at the close of Educa-
ti0n Week. is something that should
arouse the entire state of Iowa. This
is the second rural school teacher who
has been brutally murdered in the state
this year
In the newspaper accounts particular
emphasis is laid on the fact that the
school buildings in both instances were
located in 'lonely places, far from the
nearest residence" The one room ru-
raj school is certainly he most desolate
public building that we have in the
state of Iowa. In almost every instance
it is as diapidatcd as these buildings
were forty years ago. The country
school makes a favorite resort for
tramps to spend the night, as there Is
ALWAYS warmth and shelter to be found
here. Yet hundreds of young teachers
each morning have to come to these
buildings at an early hour most OF them
