^ School Must Be ' Informing Force * for Electorate New Needs Demand More of All-Around Training, Says J. H. Beveridge to Club Members. " ‘The Little Red Schoolhouse' makes an excellent topic for conver sation, particularly for legislators, but as an educational institution it is obsolete." said J. H. Beveridge, super intendent of schools, before the Tri angle club at Hotel Fontenelle Tues day. "It may have been all right for our fathers and for some of us, but the queer part is that no one of us chooses to send his children to the little red schoolhouse to be educated,” he continued. "We talk about it in an appealing tone, hut the education of the little red schoolhouse and the education of today are not to be compared any more than the washtub on the farm is to be compared with the modern electric washing machine." Outlining th requirements of a suc cessful school superintendent, Mr. Beveridge declared that such a man must not only be trained profess ionally for the work which he is do ing, and be a good business manager, but almost must persuade the public to support what is good for it. He declared that progress and Im provement are accompaniments of the life of today. Schooling, he submitted figures to prove, is an active deter rent of crime. Effort of the schools, he empha sized, must be to dignify the manual arts. The safety of the universal ' ballot, the speaker asserted, lies in universal education of the electorate which wields that ballot. "If we do not wish to grant that each man owes his brother something, then at least cold-blooded logic will tell us, if for no other reason, that the protection of America requires a fairly well educated and informed electorate.” Irrigation Contract 0.

Deroy Corliss, former president of the Waterloo and Ala mito companies, who held approxi mately $110,000 Wurth of shares in the Alamito company, was not tires ent at the meeting. A decision by District Judge Fitzgerald cancelled tlie stock held by Corliss, on tho grounds that he had not paid for it. The meeting, which by virtue of Judge Fitzgerald'* decision, was at 1 tended by preferred as well as com mon stockholders, was closed to out siders. C. R. Snyder, who has re mained a* general manager of the ; company, explained the financial sit uation of the company to the stock , holders. In addition to Schwager, Frank L. Kernan. who was manager of the company until two or three yours ago, and Mr. IJaniel were elected di rectors. llenry Rohlf, who lias been acting as president during the past few weeks, asked before the form'll opening of the meeting tha*t he l-e relieved of his duties, due to ill health. He urged that Snyder be elected president. According to Mr. Daniel the Ala mito company is in such financial con dition that its business will be car ried on successfully and without In terruption. A. S. Ritchie, former vice president, presided at the meeting. Mr. Kernan was made a vice presi dent and Mr. Daniel secretary and treasurer.
