GOOD WORDS FOR CITY SCHOOLS
Miss
Shaw Compliments Methods
In
Vogue Here.
Miss Adele Marie Shaw, who a few weeks
ago visited the public schools of Council
Bluffa and made a thorough Investigation
of the methods of education here, has em
bodied the result of her work In a most
Interesting and at the same time lengthy
article In the July Issue of the magaxine,'
The World's Work. The article Is on the
whole very complimentary to the schools
of this city.
The fact that none of the pictures of the
school buildings which were furnished MIbs
Shaw do not appear In the Illustrations la
more or less of a dissappolntment to the
members of the Board of Education and
Superintendent Clifford, who went to con
siderable trouble In giving Miss Shaw the
Information that she needed and affording
her the opportunity of visiting the different
schools and Investigating the methods of
education In force in this city.
In nn.nln cv hw .Inl U(h Okaw
Iowa has fewer acres of untlllable land
than any other state In the union, and. In .
consequence, us population is scattered on
farms and In small cities. Its educational
Is too nearly Indicated by the head
lines In a recent Iowa newspaper: "Fads
not popular. County superintendents to
stick to old lines."
But, at Council Bluffs Mr. W. N. Clifford
first as the principal of the high school.,
men as auperinienaf
superintendent of city schools, has
rovine for six vears that the old

The result Is that Council Bluffs children
read better, write better and know more
about arithmetic than the children else
where trained under older methods.
"I used to think," said Mr. Clifford, "that
If I ever came to have charge of schools
I would not tencn some things as I liaa

bama produces ," "Louis ana produoes ."
Ha sent out at one time. In many direc
tions, more than 100 letters asking, "Can
you give me, lend me or sell me material
illustrating your part of the country?"
The people who got the letters replied.
Much has grown from that beginning. No
teacher of geography In Council Bluffa Is
now "asking questions from the books."
They do not have the traditional book.
Regarding the method of Instruction in
geography In the schools of this city Miss
Shaw wrltea:
Before a child In Council Bluffs finishes
the eight elementary grades he has studied
in hie geography course, by meana of "ex
hibits" and lantern lecturea, thirty produc
tions or aeta of nroductlons: Cotton, flax,
Manila hemp, Stnrtl hemp, ramie, wool, silk,
wheat, corn, rice, oocoanut, coffee, tea,
cocoa, sugar (oane, beet and maple), honey,
woods, cork, packing house products, but
tons, rubber, petroleum, copper, spongea,
sine, coal, asbestos. Alaskan products, Phil
ippine products and Hawaiian products.
Every inontlt this list grows. And the
children's power of expruaalon, both oral
and written, grows visibly as they advance
-from grade to grade, learning from objects
and pictures.

the show promlaea to be something out of

tures of the midway, has the reputation of
giving a first class show, clean in every
respect. One of the most interesting, as

ival Is the trained wild animal arena, where
Hons, tigers, bears, wolves, panthers, pu
mas, leopards, jaguars and hyenas hold
forth and are made to perform wonderful
feats by their fearless trainers. Unlike
other menageries and animal exhibitions,
Mr. Parker puts on all of his feature ani
mal acts In a large steel-bound arena
thirty feet In diameter, so that the animals
as well as their trainers may have free
dam of aetlcni and opportunity to show
their peculiarities.

Peculiar Cause of Serious N
Fever.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES, June 25. (Special.) It is
announced here today by leading members
of the Iowa delegation to the democratic
national convention that alt stories of a
plan on tho part of the delegation to desert
Hearst and scatter Its force, are without
foundation, but that the Hearst portion of
the delegation will stand by him as long
as It Is desired they shall do. "We believe
that Hearst and Parker," said one of the
delegates, "will go Into the national con
vention about evenly divided and that they
will each one be able to prevent the nom
ination of the other. Wo will stand by
Hearst and join with the Bryan people
and remain all summer if necessary to
prevent the selection of any candidate that
will be satisfactory to Cleveland and his
i associates. Ws believe that in the end the
nomination will go to soma man who has
not yet been considered."
Iowa Man May Win.
Iowa people are greatly Interested In
watching a contest which may result in
the selection of an Iowa man as federal
district judge for Hawaii. This Is Hector
L. Ross, a former student at the State
college at Ames. He went to Hllo three
years ago and commenced the practice of
law. There is a light on for appointment
of a federal Judge, as charges were filed
against Gilbert" F. Little, the present judge,
who sought reappointment. It was alleged
he had obtained membership in the Grand
Army of the Republic on false pretenses,
and Carl S. Smith, a resident of the Islands,
was brought out as a candidate In opposi
tion. Now an effort Is being ( made to
effect a compromise with Ross as the can
didate. Iowa politicians have been brought
Into the controversy,
Osteopaths Disagree.
A,t the state convention of osteopaths
today there was much discussion of the
effort which was made last winter to have
Governor Cummins appoint an osteopath to
a place on the State Board of Medical Ex
aminers, which Is composed exclusively of
physicians. The effort was a failure, and
It developed today that the committee
which had been appointed last year to se
cure the placing of an osteopath on this
board had found that President Haughman
of the State Association of Osteopaths had
; applied for the appointment for himself.
i mere were, inereiore, two candidates,
and the governor appointed a doctor ln-

an unmarried man. He was walking alona-

Peculiar Cause of Illness.
One of the most remarkable causes of
illness is reported by a prominent physi
cian In this city. A son of E. P. Leathers,
living on High street, was taken down with
typhoid fever. It is the only case known
In the city for a long time. The doctors
have traced the only possible cause for the
Illness to the eating of radishes taken from
a bed near and below the waste from a
neighbor's kitchen, and It la found that
the vegetables contained the germs of the
fever.
V
Looking; for Camp Groand.
Governor Cummins and Adjutant General
Byers held a conference today In regard to
a caiypground for the two brigades of the
National Ouard to be held in July this year.
Propositions have been received from a
nurqher of cities to secure these camps, but
the officials of the guard desire that they
shall, be at the state capital if possible.
Tl-ey are looking for campgrounds here
and It is expected that suitable ground will
be provided. The matter of purchase of a
permanent campground Is still held up, but
condemnation proceedings have been
started. 1 .
