Lntmr Institute n Bur
den to Teachers,
Tho biennial report of O. J. McManus,
superintendent of schools of Pottawattamie
county, which he submitted to the Board of
Supervisors yesterday, contains a number
of. Interesting facts and suggestions con
cerning the rural schools. Mr. McManus
calls attention to tho necessity of having
tho co-operation of tho board In order to
enable him to advance the educational In
terests of tho county.
As to grading rural schools ho says:
Early In the present term, at my- request,
tho board bought classification registers for
all tho rural schools. In these registers
was printed the state courso of, study which
tho teachers, under tho direction of tho
county superintendent, studied and classi
fied their schools. Now comparatively uni
form work Is done In all the schools of
the county. Tills plan Is appreciated, qb It
enables ono teacher to take up tho work
whero tho last one left It. This work has
dono much to Improve the Instruction In
tho rural schools., Pupils now look forward
to tho high .schools of the county, because
they aro admitted without examination If
they hold a diploma from any of our rural
schools. Many of theso young people are
now In attendance at tho different high
schools of the county and they aro loud In
tholr pralso of a system which leads to
something higher in educational work.
Hundreds of boys and girls aro thankful
for theso opportunities, which havo como
to thorn as,a result of this ono act of tho
Board of Supervisors." '
Concentration of Schools.
Recommending tho Concentration of
schools, Superintendent McManus' says:
"More than twenty-flvo schools aro now
running whero tho avcrngo attondanco Is
less than ton pupils. In the fall and spring
terms tho averago attondanco is oven less
than five. Tho question of having fewer
schools has been considered In all parts
of tho state during tho last few years. The
proposition to provide for fewor schools
.wsb submitted to a vote In Crescent, Oar
nor, Washington, Carson and Macedonia
townships. Tho proposition, though some
what modified, carried In Carson and Mace
donia. In eight townships certain schools
aro cloned for tho want of a BUftlclent num
ber of pupils and tho few pupils aro trans
ported to the most desirable adjacent
school. The best Illustration of the work
ing of this system In this county Is in the
closing of the Woodbury school south of
tho city of Council Bluffs. From this
school the twenty-eight pupils aro com
fortably and economically transported to
and from the city schools at a total ex
pense of $16 a month. 'Befqro this was dona
it cost the Independent district of Counoll
Bluffs $66 r month' to provide Instruction
in the Woodbury school. This Is a saving
of $50 a month and the pupils aro given
the advantages of a graded school. In
Crescent township the people have built
a new, modern, four-room building, and
the school board Is considering tho ad
visability of bloslng some adjacent schools,
believing 'that It will afford less expensive
and moro efficient, Bchool privileges. This
movement Is not confined to this county,
nor to this state, but seems to come ;wltb
tho samo spirit of progress that has given
us tho rural telephone, rural mall dollv
ory and better public roads."
HiiKirentM ItnlNc of 1'ny.
Regarding the duties and remuneration of
tho county superintendent, Mr, McManus
has this to say:
"The county superintendent Is expectod
,to Hpend most of his tlmo vUltlng schools.
Ills services aro considered valuable .In
proportion to tho enthusiasm ho Is ablo
to arouse In educational matters. During
tho biennial period I have mado 458 visits
to fchools; some schools I have visited
twice; sorao I havo novcr visited. It 1b
Imposslblo to vlBlt alt, becauso there aro
only 360 school days In tho biennial period
and thoro are over 400 teachers at work In
this county. Tho pooplo think the county
superintendent should visit each school once
a term, and they also think bo ought to bo
In his office whenever thoy call on him.
This can only bo accomplished by providing
a compotont deputy for tho county superin
tendent and making tho salary such as to
Justify tho expenditure of time and money
necessary. The county suporlntendont ro
eclyes a compensation of $4 a day. Ho
cannot pay llvory hire and hotel bills and
visit schools for much less than $3. This
leaves him about $1 a day, a salary no
bettor than ho can command at manual
labor. Tliln question deserves the attention
of tho board."
I Normal Inatltute.
In his roport on th Normal Institute ho
says; "Tho burden of maintaining an an
nual Institute la borno by the teacher.
During the Intonso heat of summer, when
It Is too hot 'for the schools to be In ses
sion, the teachers aro required to como
togother ud pay their hard-earned dollars;
saved from their small salaries by self-
denlnl, to siiriport an Institution which Is
maintained for the public good. Tho state
superintendents of this and other states
favor a law by which the institute shall bo
maintained at no expense to the teacher,
and until wo have such legislation the Board
of Supervisors should make liberal appro
priations for tho support of tho Insti
tute." He makes no suggestion as to uniformity
of Jext books, but calls the attention of
the board to the fact that the question of
whether this proposition should bo bud-
Mei t0 tho voto Qt the peopla restg.wlth
It. The establishment of the school libra
ries, whllo Imposing additional work upon
the coutitv sunertntenitnnt. hn anvn. will rn.
suit In making tho work of the rural schools
moro efficient
In concluding his report County Super
intendent McManus says that a bill has
been proprfred and will bo Introduced at
tho coming session of tho legislature which
provides that the county superintendent
shall receive 'an annual salary of $1,500 and
$600 for a deputy and traveling exponses,
and In tho large counties the supervisors
may allow such compensation as they may
deem Just and proper.

noxt thing was for tho convict o appear.
When tho afternoon trains arrived a well
dressed and well appearing man among tho
passengers at once attracted tho marshal's
attention, and, taking another look at tho
photograph of tho man wanted, ho nt onco
recognlted this Btrnngor as tho orlglnul of
the photograph lfo held, even though tho

THE WAY T HOLD DOWN MANUFACTURERS
Session of the 'e,hritskn Association
Devoted tn Discussion of .Mutter
Concerning' lloiv to Con
trol Prices,
Crelghton hall was crowded when the
second 'day's seslqn of the Nebraska nnd
western Iowa Implement Dealers' associ
ation was called to order by President N.
L. Maloucy. All tho addresses and papers
of tho morning urged a bolter understand
Ing between! all retail Implement dealers,
and the enthusiastic manner In which this
statement was received by the audience In
dicated that the association Is to begin this
year with renewed strength.
L. J. Blowers of David City mado n re
port to tho convention of tho federation
meeting held last October In Kansas Cltv
by retail Implement dealers' associations
from all parts of tho United States. At this
meeting stops wero taken to bring nbout a
hotter understanding between manufactur
ers nnd dealers and Mr. Blowers expressed
tho opinion that this federation will rciult
in tho amlcablo sottlcmcut of differences
existing between tho retailers und tho
manufacturer and wholesaler. O. W. Fouke
of Liberty also mado n report concerning
the Kansas City convention.
'John L. Lynd of Hnrtlngton, secretary of
tho Implement Dealers' Insurance ex
change, u mutual company organized by
members of tho association, reported that
thlrty-nlno policies, averaging nbout $1,000
each ore now In forco. During tho year
which has Just closed the oxchauge suffered'
ono loss of nbout $1,000.
In his report to tho convention Secretary
James A. McLaughlin urged n closer or
ganization of Implement men nnd ndvlsrd
thnt steps be taken to havo tho dealers In
each county nnd each district brought Into
closernlon. Mr. McLaughlin said that in
his opinion tho association should raise
funds for organization and should cmnlov
'a man whosq duty It should bo to organize
tiio dealers In each county and form county
nnd district associations.
The president appointed an nudltlng com
mittee mndo up of Henry Lubkcn of Colum
bus, C. O. Shumwny of Lyons nnd Ilobcrt
Downey of Corning, la. John Wnchtcr was
named to take tho place of F. B. Huston
on the commltteo on nominations.
J. J. Buchanan of Hastings addressed tho
association nnd urged that Implement men
comblno their business with hardware or
other merchandlso that thej; may havo nn
tncoino all the year through. This plan
was opposed by other speakers, who urged
that Implement men succeed bolter when
they confine, their attention to ono line and
havo an understanding with competitors.
'Tho nttltudo of threshing machine manu
facturers toward rctnll dealers was dis
cussed by J. S., Thomas of Lexington. He
said that tho manufacturers will not allow
retailers sufficient commission tor selling
machines and suggested that it would bo
well for all retailors to refuse to soil
threshing machines unless moro liberal
terms nro offered. Several dealers dis
cussed tho question nnd stated that they
had mado no uttcmpt to handlo threshing
machines on account of tho unfair dealings
of manufacturers. i
Catalogue houses camo In for tholr sharo
of discussion. Several speakers maintained
that the retailor who Is not shrewd onough
to buy his goods at such figures that ho
can competo with catalogue houses should,
not bo In1 the 'Implement business, it was'
maintained by eoveral upoakcra that re
tailors should not patronlzo factories which
sell part of their product to cataloguo
bouses.
Thursday' rooming tho reorganization of
tho association and tho election of officers
.will take place. At that tlmo an exiting
meeting win pronamy no neni. it is tho
purpose of the association to effect nn or
ganlzatlou so formidable that tho dealers
will bo enabled to dictate forms, to -trusts
which regulate thfo prices of wares handled
by Implement men.
So much business will bo brought beforo
tho association Thursday that an after
noon session has been planned.
