Limitations of Learning.
Fifty-eight young men and women, hav
ing completed the prescribed course In the
public schools of Council Bluffs, received
their diplomas at the conclusion of the
commencement exercises held in the audi
torial!) of the high school lust evening.
These exercises marked the climax of a
week of festivities Incident to the gradua
tion of the class. The seating capacity of
the auditorium proved Insufficient to ac
commodate all who wished to attend.
The class consists of thlrty-flve young
women and twenty-three young men, all
of whom have finished the work of the
school as follows:

valid he says he Is unwilling to make any
further concession than that stated.
PROTEST ON ASSESSMENTS
Commercial Clab of the Opinion Farm
La ads Are Valued Too
Low,
A committee from the Council Bluffs
Commercial club consisting of H. W.
Binder, F. J. Day, Emmet Tinier. C. W.
McDonald and A. D. Annls appeared before
the County Board of Supervisors yester
day to protest ngalnat what the Commer
cial club regards as a discrimination against
Council Bluffs In the matter of the equal
isation of values as the basts of taxation.
On Wednesday the board had equalised
the values of farm lands In the county,
fixing the average value per acre In the
several townships at from $40 to $58. The
values as reported by the assessors ranged
from 44 to $50, so that a considerable
raise approximately $10 an acre In most of
the townships had been decided upon by
the supervisors.
This, however, was not satisfactory to
property owners In Council Bluffs, as rep
resented by the Commercial club, and the
protest of yesterday followed. The com
mittee represented to the board that a

and agricultural lands In the county the

The lecture by Dr. Edwin Sparks on
"The Limitations of Learning" was replete
with common sense and wholesome advice
to the graduates. Dr. Sparks said in part:
Standing on the battlefield of Gettysburg
and thinning of the dead burled there.
Abraham Lincoln said: "Th wnrM -.hi
little know nor long remember what we
say here, but It can never forget what they
did here." one might without. nftnu
to be so assessed
No action was taken on the matter, but
the board appeared to feel Inclined to dis
regard the protest of the Commercial club,
claiming that there was much land In the
county that was really not worth nearly
so much as shown by the equalized figures.
Taking good and bad land all Into con
sideration, the board seemed to think that
It had struck fair averages for the several
townships. The protesting committee In
sisted, however, that lands that have been
and are selling at from 176 to 1100 an acre
ought to be assessed at something like
those figures In order that there shall be
no discrimination against the owners of
city property.
i In equalizing the values of lands within
Incorporated towns the .board made but
one change from the figures reported by
the assessors. That was In the case of
Carson, where a 6 per cent increase was
ordered.
The board had before It yesterday the
first bill rendered by the state for the ex
pense of boarding dipsomaniacs at the
state Insane asylum during their confine
ment and treatment. This bill was for
(55.60 for the board of three patients for
varying periods. The board voted to allow
the bill and charge it to the insane fund.

Repairs to Broadway.
Cards were Issued from the headquarters
of the Council Bluffs Commercial club yes
terday to the members of the committee
on streets and roads of the organisation
calling a meeting of that committee. No
time has yet been fixed for the meeting,
but It Is the desire to have It at an early
date and this was left In the hands of the
chairman of the committee, H. G. McGee.
The object of the meeting la to tuke up
the question of the lmprov.-nont o'. M'est
Broadway. The plan now In contempla
tion Is for the members of the committee
to meet with the members of the city coun
cil and the county supervisors, who are
now In session here, and see If some
scheme for the improvement of the thor
oughfare cannot be devised. At the time
this street was laid with slag six years ago
both the city and the county contributed
funds for the Improvement and an effort
will likely be made to arrive at some such
arrangement again.
what they have done nor by what they will
do. However humble may be the task
that each la called upon to perform. It
cannot fall to have some Influence. "All
are needed by each one; nothing la fair or
good alone.
We have so long been accustomed In
commencement addresses to hear praised
the value of education, to have set forth
In Its true light the sacrifices which the
Amorican public Is making today for the
cause of education, that I shall ask your
consideration for the negative side in en
aeavorlng to determine what limitations are
placed upon education when defined by a
course of study.
The years which these young people have
spent in completing the prescribed course
of study la of little avail if It has not
taught them the great lesson of service.
To learn to obey implicitly, to serve the
years of apprenticeship, to perform the
task, however humble it may be. are prin
ciples which cannot be Inculcated by the
rule of three or by cursing the most com
plicated sentence. If I were aaked to point
to the most pernicious trait in American
life of today I ahould unhesitatingly say
the unwillingness to serve. Young men hes
itate to accept subordinate positions, or,
having taken them, ret and slight their
work because someone else occupies a
higher or more desirable position. Young
women rush into employment or Into mat
rimony with equal lack of preparation and
end Inevitably in failure In each. The
word "servant" has disappeared completely
from our vocabulary. We need to have It
restored; each to acknowledge that he Is a
servant to the work appointed for him;
a servant to his brother, a servant to his
fellows and a servant to the state.
Again, from the course of study these
graduatea will have missed the essential
principle if they have not learned the gos
pel of toll of persistent, constant and never
ending toll. Unfortunately, the fact that
the school curriculum has a limitation, that
lessons are of definite length, gives the
pupil too often an Idea that the tasks In
life are of so many pages or of so many
problema. How frequently It happens that
a young man taking a position asks him
self, "What must I doT" Instead of "What
can I do?" In the one case he seeks a
definite task and Imagines his duty to his
employer done If he performs this day by
day. In the other case he asks himself
how he ran make himself more valuable to
his employer.
Cannot Teach Common Sense.
The useful education should be many
sided. It ought to reflect possibilities on
Among the claims allowed by the board
were bills amounting to $130 bounty for
wolf scalps.
There are pending before the board bills
to the amount of $401.73 on account of
smallpox cases. These bills were hung up
pending investigation.
Crewdson Called to Atlantlb.
Rev. W. B. Crewdson, who has been
pastor of tha Christian church in this city
for nearly three years, has received a call
to the pastorate of the Christian church, at
Atlantic, la., and It is understood that he
will likely accept. It has been announced
at Atlantlo that he has already accepted
the call, but this Is not admitted by Mr.
Crewdson. On Monday evening Mr. Crewd
son was at Atlantic and preached to the
congregation there and conferred with the
people about becoming their pastor. Rev.
J. II. McSparren. who has been the pastor
at Atlantic, has gone to Idaho.
In addition to the cajl from Atlantic Mr.
Crewdaon has also received a call to re
turn to Corning, la., where he was pastor
of the Christian church for five years be
fore coming to Council Bluffs. The board
of the Council Bluffs churoh has recom
mended to the congregation that Mr.
Crewdson be retained here for another year.
