School Superintendents of
Cherokee County Take
United Action
Cherokee, Ia_, Sept. . ~< Special.)
•--The advisory council of superlrt'
tendents, having as members Coun
ty Superintendent Lunkhauser, the
superintendent of the consolidated
school at Aurelia, Larrabee, Grand
Meadow, Washta, Quimby, Meriden
and Cleghorn and of the Marcus In
dependent high school, in a special
called session have decided to re
strict publicity and prominence be
stowed upon purely athletic work In
their schools and to insure equal or
greater publicity and prominence for
■cholaristlc work.
The action is taken In response
to the attitude of patrons of the
schools who object to greater ex
penditure of money and time for
work In the various gymnastics
rather than In the agricultural and
vocational departments. There is
no purpose to abolish athletics. While
not all the consolidated schools will
have football teams the oounty
basketball tournament will be held
as usual.
In line with the action In the
other towns, Cherokee high has add
ed a year In agriculture for animal
husbandry and has a course in
household mechanics. Cherokee high
will devote the usual attention to
athletics.
Teachers of rural schools in Cher
okee county have arranged for
monthly sessions of township study
centers and a monthly school to be
held at the court house for the
study of civics, economics, physics
and algebra.
