*HIAWATHA SCHOOLS


Upper Grades
Almost every morning for fifteen
minutes the upper grades study mu-
sic AS we do not have a phono-
crap and records to make the study
more Interesting and easier we do
the best we can with what We have.
The teacher writes notes on the
blackboard about muisc. We COPY
them in our Music Booklets which
we have made. We also draw pic
lures fthe different Instruments
so we can learn their shapes and
names.
Some mornings we sing songs out
of the Golden Book of Favorite
Songs.
What We DO on Friday Afternoon
For an hour every Friday after
noon we have handwork. The sixth
and seveth grade have been making
health posters. The best of these
will go to the Dagmar fair next fall.
The eighth grade has been draw
ing pictures of famous ships such
as the Clermont, Victory, Santa Ma
ria and others.
Emma, Raymond, Laura and Elmer
Petersen have all been out of school
on account of humps. William and
Ida Thorstenson have also been out
of school because of colds and sore
Threats. Elsie Sorensen was absent
- OAAA SNAOOA OCNddSG u u severe
headache.
Lower Grades
We modelled animals of clay and
tried to see who could guess what
animals were made. Almost all were
guessed.
Those who got 100 in spelling on
March 18th were: Kenneth Nyby,
Marjorie Thuesen. Gladys Whittier.
Don Legge. Edwin Nyby, Otto Jen-
nnrnfhu 1,.fnl
Thorstensen and Elizabeth LodahI.
We have a new border about a
foot high. In it are two big wind
mills, three Dutch girls, and three
Dutch boys. 1t is very pretty.
The second graders wrote letters
TO Lenora Andersen who has the
mumps.
Experiment in Geography
The fifth and six grades had been
studying about the different kinds of
soils. To prove which was the best
for farming the teacher had a pupil
bring a bottle of gravel, one pupil
bottle Of sand, one pupil a bottle
OF field soil and one pupil a bottle
OF clay. First teacher poured some
water in the bottle of gravel. The
water reached the bottom in a hur-
~. Some water was then poured in
the sand. 1t went down fast but not
as fast aus in the gravel. Then water
was poured on the loan or field
soil. The water slowly seeped thru
the soil. Then water was poured on
The clay. 1t remained on the top
and only soaked a little way down.
This shows that farming soil should
nave about foot or two of loamy
soil under which should be a LAYER
OF clay to keep the moisture from
settling.
Those who have been neither alb
sent nor tardy during this school
year are Marjorie Legge, Don Legge.
Bernlce Thorstenson, Edwin Nyby.

There Is also an inner Tammany

Smith who began to cater to the
highbrOw hooters prior to his bid
for the presidency. In the last
election campaign every Tamma-
ny bOOtlegger in New York had
his orders to knife AL and AL was
knitted. Not that it made a par
ticle of difference to the masses
whether AL won or not. But il
proved that Tammany is not so
much interested in who is presi-
dent as long as the New York
graft is at the disposal of the
Wigwam. Roosevelt is now try
ing to ride two horses going in
opposite directions. If he pushes
the investigation of the Walker
regime TammaRy will knife him
even if he gets the nomination,
which is now extremely doubtful.
If he plays with Tammany it will
mean the same thing. Capitalist
politics is rotten to the core.
Simply because the capitalist sys-

tells them the truth and gives
them a good idea of what thew
must do In order to bring about a
lasting .betterment of their conLii-
ton. l met a prominent Washing
ton correspondent here last week
and he told me that the views ex-
pressed by the News were given
great consideration by senator's,
particularly those who represent
or misrepreSent the agricultural
areas. 1t is this mans business
to sound out the sOlOns on cur
rent political problems. He reads
the Producers News and when he
runs across a piece of editorial
comment that happens to be
aprOpOs he calls it to the atten-
ton of senators whose opinions
he sOlicits. They are all eyes
and even if they don't choose 10
agree with the fundamental social
criticisms and the radical pro-
gram of the PlentywOOd weekly
they express their admiration for
its courage. The future belongs
to publications like the Producers
News.
The big national story just now
Is the investigation of the Walk
er administration in New York.
In my opinion it is aimed at
Franklin ID. RoOsevelt's candida
cy for the democratic nomination
for the presidency. The profess
siOnal refOrmers in New York are
being put forward by the enemies
of Tammany Hall to play the role
of purifying angels in the at
tempt TO cleanse Tammany of its
corruption. These refOrmers did
not create much of fuss during
the past years when Tammany
police were clubbing unemployed
demonstrations and Tammany
judges were sentencing youths to
long terms of imprisonment for d.
tributing Communist Literature.
They did not howl over Tamma-
ny's anti-wOrkingclass activities.
The cause of the huIIabalOo is the
division of the spOils which are
now going almost exclusively to
Tammany retainers.
Undoubtedly the Walker re-
CINE is corrupt but not a bit
more so than previous regimes.

CHILDREN hate to take medicine

the taste Of Castoria. And this pure

harmless as the recipe reads.

When coated tongue or bad breath

from clogging.
Castoria is sold in every drugstore

Prosperity is not around the
corner. Business men privately
admit that they Oh NOT know
where they are at. The foreign
market, which hitherto swallow
ed up at least ten per cent of the
product of American industry is
shot to pieces. The Wall Street
banks are bursting with gold but
American loans abroad have
dwindled to almost nothing. Bank
ers will not lend money unless
they have at least a reasonable
assurance that the beneficiary of
the loan can pay it back with fac.
juicy interest. There is not a
capitalist government in the
world today, with the exception of
this, that is not sitting on a vol
canO. Revolutions have a habit
Of wiping the slate clean Of debts
contracted by their predecessors.
That is, revolutions that bring a.
bout a change of economic sys-
tens.

Make Federal Civil Service
More Attractive

One object Of the body Of Government officials named
by the President for personnel survey Of the civil service
and for cooperation Of departments and bureaus with the
Civil Service Commission is Ito make attractive the
prospect of a in the civil service
Many other worthy purposes included in the plans
among them that of training for personnel assistants in de-
partments and independent offices.
L undoubtedly that the civil service has long been
without the promises Of advancement that should be offered to
make it more attractive.
There have been frequent complaints that private industry
and business take the best workers Of the service Higher
salaries is the temptation but the weakness Of the civil service
30 far has that the who leave it for private industry
could not look ahead and chances Of promotion.
These may be in department bureau which has
no position that will suit their special education talents
training They blocked from going higher Under the
new plans opportunities will be made for the ready transfer
Of workers to positions adapted to their special talents train
ing and abilities.
Another discourang feature has been the bringing in Of
appontees fill vacancies instead Of giving those in the
service chance obtain higher positions and better salaries
Plans that stimulate employees to fit themselves for special
positions will certainly inspire large numbers Of men and
to take special in Washington colleges and
universities to acquire desired education through other
methods
the Government will give its workers the right sort
Of chances as it now seems bent upon doing it will find

Regulation of Interstate
Bus Lines in Sight

Huge interstate buses and trucks that fill the countrys
rOadways often travelling at terrific speeds the constant
fear Of drivers of passenger machines nearing regulation
in the opinion of those who have followed hearings before the
1nterstate Commerce Commission. ............
We have phase of the problem in Washington in the
Of streets by big buses for terminal purposes causing
traffic delays and making traffic hazards
Still another phase that be considered by Washington
officials and by those Of all States is the speeds at which
these big machines travel and the dangers that from
controlled speed and hogging Of roadway space.
The contention of the railroads of country losing
much business from buses and trucks that there is
regulation Of these carriers to rates and service while the
railroads under stringent regulations.
There the contention from street railways of this
city to uncontrolled taxis competing in injurious
financially with regulated street railways.
Trucks cutting in the freight business Of the
tys railroads. but not in serious buses
cutting down the Of the railroads in passenger
traffic.
Freight trucks cannot compete with the railroads in
load quantities. but than hold their in less than
carload lots for reasonable distances
In the end in all probability, the outcome will be laws
that will merge interstate truck and bus business with the
railroads that there may be complete control Of all ransporta
ton under the Interstate Commerce Commission.
That too be the result in transit matters in this city
Public carriers Of all kinds should be under public control
