 We looked into the educational conditions and found that the regu- lar school only this year was ad- vancing to an Intermediate grade preparatory to a high chool course, which some of the students take in Davenport, twelve miles away. The town is 65 years old and has never sent person to college from its immediate village precincts. Sev- eral have taken to academic and normal courses at Cedar and Iowa Falls. but no one entered college. There have been three from the country or farm houses who at tended Ames Agricultural college, but l could only learn of one that took the full course"
