Support the Lecture Course.

Does Webster City want Il permanent
lecture course every season?
If so, the people who like to help
iying worth while lecturers and high
class entertainment here, must get be-
bind the proposition and buy tickets.
Lecture courses have never paid III
Webster City and the Chamber of Com
merce will probably not undertake the
task again next season unless the com
ing course is better patronized than the
present advance ticket sale would III
dicate.
Webster City needs lecture course
each winter. There is no reason why
some of the best known lecturers ana
musical ATTRACTIONS in the country
should not be brought here. But If
some organization has to meet deficit
each year in order to do it, the public
cannot expect that it will be done.
The people must support the course
Or it must be understood that Webster
City will havesno more courses.

No Way to Deal With 1t.

1t seems that some of our health
laws need changing. Some sort of a
skin ailment has made its appearance
among children attending Lawn Hill
school, but unless it reaches the pro
portions Of an epidemic it cannot be
handled and treated by the local health
physician.
Some time ago diphtheria made its
appearance over on the east side. The
city authorities had the cases investi-
gated. A number of cultures were re-
turned that were positive. demOnstrat-
ing that some of the children were car
riers of the disease if not seriously i'll
with it themselves. The law provides
that the county shall pay costs OF such
services for families who are unable to
bear the expense themselves. The city
presented the bill to the board of super
visOrs, but the board was advised by
counsel, d. G. Chase, that it has no
authority to pay except In cases OF
epidemic. In other words, the county
is not holden unless the disease be-
comes epidemic. That means that no
preventive measures can be taken to
Prevent an epidemic. 1t can be handled
only when it becomes common, when it
prevails generally.
That is bad state of affairs. 1t
means that nothing can be done to
mitigate or wipe out this skin ailment
that has been reported in Lawn Hill
until it becomes a menace to the health
If the neighborhoOd.
If the board of supervisors have been
rightly advised, and we have no doubt
they have, the law certainly needs
some fixing. Such maladies ought to
lie handled as soon as they make their
appearance.

were in the nature of an innovation,

Want
CODE OF ETHICS
They are Tired of Having
Their Actions Outside
School Hours Reg
ulated.
TAKE UP QUESTION
Will be Brought up at State
Convention Next
Month.

The coming meeting Of the Iowa
State Teachers association scheduled
for Nov. 3, 4 and 5, in Des Moines,
promises to be of unusual interest.
Some of the leading educators of the
nation are on the program and the at
tendance promises to break all records,
judging from enrollments received.
The committee ON resolutions will be
asked to draft Il code of ethics that
shall Indicate the attitude Of the pub
lie toward the teacher and the relation
of the teacher to the community. A
number of teachers are chatting under
the restrictions imposed by various
school boards, regulating their outside
Of school hours. Many school boards
have made it condition Of employment
that teachers refrain from dancing
while serving the district as educators.
A prominent Iowa educator wants
some action taken by the association
that will afford basis Of mutual
understanding between school boards,
teachers and communities.
"a reasonable and correct standard
of what is proper and fitting towards
each other, towards the employing
boards and toward the profession" is
the definition of the code as expressed
in the resolutions. The long debated
obligation of teacher to the commun-
ity, the extent to which her personal
conduct can justly be controlled by her
terms of contracts and SINH
lar points would be. specified in the
code.
