ADVANTAGES OF MODERN HIGH SCHOOLS
On CooiiletliiK the Course Students
Will Do Well, Hp Consider., to
Devote- Themselves lo
Works of
Tho fenturo of the Thanksgiving exercises
nt tho High school yesterday afternoon wns
tho address by General Orenvlllo M. Dodge,
who, In a tnlk of nbout a half hour's durn
Hon, Impressed upon the pupils tho Impor
tanco of their appreciating tho advantages
of tho education which they recelvo In such
an Institution. He compared tho schools of
tho present time and the days when ho was
a hoy, showing the advanced cdticatlonnl
facilities at the disposal of tho youth of this
country today. Ho advocated military drill
In every public school In tho country for
boy lfi yenrs of ngo and upnnrd. Ho ad
vised thoso pupils who Intended entering
a commercial career to do so nt onco on
graduating from the high school nnd not to
spend too much time upon higher education.
Ho said that on entering tho fine building
his mind went back to the time when ho
wns n boy going to school In Massachusetts,
when they had only n small schoolhouse of
one room, In which tho pupils from S to 10
years of ngo congregated under a school
mnrm nnd a good rod, the latter being more
effective than anything else. "Hlnco then I
havo always been In favor of the rod," ho
said.
"All that wns taught In those dnys were
reading, writing, spelling, a little grammnr
nnd the four rudiments of arithmetic. The
opportunities you have today were not
known when I wns a boy. There wero no
such high schools ns you enjoy In Council
Bluffs. After leaving tho public school we
had to go to an academy If wo wanted to
extend our education. When I went west
In 1850, making surveys through to the Pa
cific coast. I saw nothing but log school
houses. There were few frame school
houses except In tho cities and towns. The
student came from many miles around to
the little log schoolhpuHc and f have seen
four In a family rldo to rind from school on
tho back of n single horse. Ten years later
In passing through I noticed thnt the log
schoolhouses had given way to frame build
ings, but they still contained but one room.
Twenty years later tho brick high school
wbb built In Council Bluffs nnd today you
havo a magnificent building complete In nil
Us details and equipment for your Instruc
tion. "With tho advantages and opportunities
afforded you today when .you leave this
high school youi a re fitted for any business
In any tountry except professional or tech
nical work."
Plea for Early Work nt Trade.
Tho general said If he were going lo ad
vise any ot the young people before lilin ho
would advise them fo seek a trndc. "It Is
a mlstnke," ho said, "for young men nud
women purposing to enter upon a commer
cial career to spend too much time upon
higher education, it Is better to enter busi
ness nt 10 years ot ngo than ut 26. Seek
your career at once on leaving the High
school." General Dodge cited lustnnccs of
successful men who had started out enrly.
mentioning General Palmer, 'Andrew Car
negie, the Ames and other men prominent
In tho railroad world.
In advocating compulsory drilling In every
puhllc school In the country for youth over
sixteen years of age, General DodRe said It
tended to teach discipline, obedience and
respect of authority, not to mention patriot
ism and love of country.
Preceding General Dodgo's address a
stringed uuartet, consisting of Misses Mix
tion Maynard, Bessie and Hazel Hammer
and Florence Stevens, played two selec
tions, nnd O. S. Haverstock sang. At the
closo of the nddress Miss Ellis played a
selection on tho piano.
At the close of tho exercises the cadets
were put through an exhibition drill by
Captain Carl Pryor for General Dodge, who
paid the young soldiers a high compliment
for their efficiency.
ArKumentn In .MIiiIiik Soil,
Counsel did not consume much time
Wednesday morning In completing the ar
guments on the two motions filed by the
defense In tho Doyle-Burns mining suit,
and they wero finally submitted to tho court
shortly nftur 10 o'clock. Judge Green took
his decision under ndvlsemcnt until Mon
day morning, to which tlmo he adjourned
court.
C. J. Hughes for tho plaintiff concluded
his argument after 'speaking for less than
half nn hour, and wns followed by Con
gressman Smith nnd Mr. Thomas, who be
tween them occupied about half an hour In
making the closing addresses for the de
fense. Senator Patterson did not take an
part In the arguments, as had been ex
pected. Tho Jury will reassemble Monday morning,
and In the event of Judgo Green's overruling
the motion to direct h verdict for tho de
fendant, the Introduction of testimony for
Burns will be begun.
Judge Green on the adjournment ot court
left for his home In Audubon to spend
Thanksgiving with his family. James F.
Burns went to St. Joseph, where Mrs, Burns
Is visiting relatives, and Senator Patterson
and Mr. Thomas left Inst evening for Den
ver. They will return In tlmo for tho re
convening of court Monday morning. James

Writ of llnlien Corpus,
(From a 8tnff Correspondent.)
DBS MOINES, Now 27. (Special.) In the
forthcoming, biennial report of tho superin
tendent of public Instruction a chapter will
be devoted to consolidation ot districts and
transportation of pupils. The report on
this parlleplar phase of public school work
will be very complete. It will show tho
lively discussion all over Ihc slate and that
many oxpurtments havo been and nro being
made, wllh the prospect that In many other
plnce the system will bo put on trial.
The report says. "Consolidation ha been
tried In twenty-eight countlos, transporta
tion in thirty-five nnd both In nineteen.
Consolidation has been ndopted by sixty
three district and eighty districts havo
transported pupils nt the expense of tho
district. In nine counties districts havo
been consolidated without providing trans
portation at tho expenso ot tho district.
In sixteen countlos pupil havo been trans
ported whete there has been no consolida
tion. The replies to the question ns to what
the sentiment In the counties Is townrd
consolidation ond transportation mny bo
classified ns follows- Favorable, 23; op
posed, 26; divided, 12: partly favorable, 4;
unsettled, 3; growing In favor, 23. Where
tho system has been tried and tho results
reported It produced good effects In twenty
seven counties, while In five It wan doubt
ful. Tho patrons in twenty counties arc
reported to be well satisfied, while In eight
counties there was some dissatisfaction,
owing generally to bad roadi. These Htatls
tics do not Include nny ostlmntrs or doubt
ful reports, such as "several" sihools con
solidated, or cases of transporting pupils;
all the reports not, distinctly favorable to
tho system have been classified as doubtful,
divided o-ipposed to It."
In addion to the foregoing transporta
tion has been tried In n number of tho city
districts with grcnt success. At Council
Bluffs there bus been ,011 nctunl saving ot
$50 per month besides the time of the super
Usors. Superintendent Clifford of tho city
schools says: "The plan is giving excellent
satisfaction to patrons nnd the school offi
cers are much plowed with the marked
Improvement of, the children In scholarship."-
At Sioux City three wagons were cm
ployed for the school year nnd three schools
wero closed. About 125 pupils wero trans
ported, fifty In wagons nnd sovcnty-flvo by
street car lines. The report will show thnt
$2,136.16 were economized In n single year In
Sioux City alone, while at tho same tlmo
tho children received better educational ad
vantages,. . , Tho report does not seek lo present
merely tho favornhlo hldo of this problem,
hut nlo nil of the objections that havo been
mode to the plan of consolidating districts
and transporting tho pupils to a central
school. The objections,, no matter how
trivial, have been given In detail In every
county. r.u

BEARDSHEAR CORRECTS BOARD
President of Aurleulturnl CnllcKr
iii) Injurious Pnrls of Report
.Mum lie Exiiiiiiki'iI,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. Nov. 27. (Special Tele
gram.) President Beardshear of Iowa Stale
college, Ames, today wrote n sharp letter to
the State Board of Control, Hsklng that
portions of the biennial report be expunged
or changed ns they rclnte to the llnnnret.
of that college, nnd making emphatic denial
of many of the statements of tho board.
That which Is most complained of Is that
tho board states that college people built
tho engineering hall at a cost nearly double
that nuthorlzed by tho legislature. Beard
shear denlen this and declares there was
never contemplated a building to cost less
than $ir0,000. Tho college never had work-lug-plans
from tho stato architect, and the
only change mado was from brick to stone
at the suggestion of the' governor. Tho
building, If contracted for now, would cost
at least $200,000.
In regard lo Increase In salaries It Is as
serted that eleven new positions were mado
because of n 40 per cent addition to tho at
tendance. It Is denied that the college ever
spoilt a dollnr of state or national funds for
banquets nnd tho college docs not furnish
dinners for thoso who come on excursions.
The Board of Control charged the college
faculty with having spent $200 for lobbying
nt the Inst session of the legislature. Title,
It Is explained, was national and not state
funds and was spent properly In tho visits
of members of the faculty to the legislature
on coll of committees. It Is also denio.l
thnt purchases havo been mado without
check or that goods are contracted for with
out nuthorlty. President Beardshear asks
that whole portions of tho report bo ex
punged ns false nnd mado bocause of misap
prehension. VEDDER SUES FOR DAMAGES

Why Doiv't You Seek Relief?
A really healthy woman has little pain or discomfort at the menstrual period. No woman ne-tdt
to have any. Wine of Cardui will relieve all those smarting menstrual pains and dragging head, back
and side aches caused by falling of the womb and irregular menses.
March 29, 1900, Mrs. W. II. Jones, of Cameron, Mo., wrote the following to The Chattanooga
Medicine Company t "I ask you for advice for the treatment of my complaint. I hear a great many
women in my condition are cured by Wine of Cardui, so I send for the medicine." The medicine was
sent with plain directions regarding treatment required, and August 31, 1900, she wrote again "Per
haps you will remember Mrs. W. ti. Jones who wrote to you six months igo asking for advice which
you so kindly gave her. I never will be able to thank you enough for it. N I suffered terribly at my
monthly periods for three years. I would sometimes go for seven months wdh no flow at all. Now I
have my health back again and am expecting to be confined in January. I cannot praise your medi
WINEo'CARDUI

strual organs strong and healthy and gives women relief from the terrible aches and pains that blight
so many homes. The only thing necessary is to seek relief to go to a drug store and get a $1.00
bottle of Wine of Cardui and take the medicine In the privacy of your own home.
Grttnwood, La., October H, 1900.
I have btta very sick for tome time. I was taken with a severe pain in my side and could not get any
