The Board of Education, after remaining
In executive session behind closed doors
for over an hour laat night, failed to agree
upon an Instructor for the manual train
ing department. Some of the member
favored the appointment of Miss Margaret
Wallace of this city, while other were of
the opinion that the Instructor of manual
training should be a man. Superintendent
Beverldge favored the appointment of a
male Instructor, and In this was supported
by Member Reed. Owing to the absence
of President Tlnley and Member KUlpack.
It was finally agreed to postpone action on
this matter until the regular meeting of
the board, which under the rule la sched
uled for tonight. When the special meet
ing was called for last night. President
Tlnley forgot that Tuesday waa the regular
meeting night of the hoard.
The resignation of Prof. Fred D. Grass,
who has accepted a position at Tabor col
lege, as a member of the high school fac
ulty, was accepted, and B. S. Asquith of
Iowa City was elected In his place. William
Brlndley of Holrombc, Wis., was appointed
to fill the vacancy fn the high school fac
ulty caused by the resignation of Prof. D.
R. McGrew. The salary of each was
placed at $100 per month for the nine
months of school.
Miss Lydla Selfert of the Twentieth ave
nue school tendered her resignation and It
was accepted. Miss leo G. Crow of Maple
ton, la., who formerly taught In the Wash
ington avenue school, was elected to fill
the vacancy. Chairman Reed of the fi
nance committee moved to fix Miss Crow's
salary at what she was receiving when
teaching here before, but as Member
Schoedsack, who was presiding In the ab
sence of President Tlnley, thought this was
too Indefinite, In view of the fact that
none of the members knew what salary
Miss Crow had received. It was finally de
cided to loave the matter of her salary
until this evening's meeting.
AssiKnment of Teacher.
Superintendent Beverldge reported the
following assignments of teachers to the
different school buildings, which he stated
owing to the unexpected resignation of Miss
Selfert and the election of Miss Crow might
be slightly changed: (

ftrhonl ttnen Monday.
It ws decided that the schools would
r-'oren on Monday. September 7. notwlth-
standing the fact that this will be Labor
day. It was decided, however, that tho
pupil will assemble merely for organisa
tion f the classes and will then be dis
missed for the remainder of the day.
The contract for transporting pupils
from the suburban district to the nearest
schools wa renewed with Richard James,
J. B. Butler, S. A. Winchistcr and Mrs.
G. D. Mott. They will each receive $3J
a month f.ir this service.
The supervisor of buildings and grounds
was directed to have all the school build
ings thoroughly disinfected before the
opening ntxt Monday. It wa decided that
this work could be done by the Janitor
of the respective buildings.
Member Reed brought up the matter of
the attendance of a Japanese student at
the Bloomer school. He expressed the
opinion that the young man should pay
tuition as other non-resident pupils did.
Mr. Reed further expressed the opinion
that the Japanese In question waa at least
thirty years of age. Action on the matter
wa postponed until thia evening. Mr.
Reed also suggested that all tuition should
be paid In advance by non-resident pupils,
but no action was taken on the sugges
tion. Mr. Reed complained that the principal
of the Second Avenue school had stored
her household furniture and goods In the
basement of the schoot building and he
wanted to know If It wa the custom of
the board to furnish such accommodation.
Member Elliott stated that the furniture
did not cause any Inconvenience and no
action waa taken on the matter.
The question as to how long after reg
ular hours teachers should be permitted
to remain in the class room, was brought
up. It was contended that the Janitor
were delayed In cleaning tho rooms owning
to the eachers occupying them long after
the schools had closed. The matter waa
discussed at length, but the board failed
to solve the problem.
The need of providing some place In
which the pupils of the Washington Ave
nue school could store their bicycles was
urged. It was stated that on an average,
thirty to thirty-five bicycles could be found
In tiie halls of the buildings. It was con
tended that the bicycles not only brought
mud onto the floors of the halls but blocked
them, which would be dangerous in case
of an alarm of fire. It was suggested to
erect a shed in the rear yard and the mat
ter waa finally left with the committee
on buildings and grounds to deal with.

Teachers attending the Pottawattamie
County Norrnal Institute which opened
yesterday for a week's session at the high
school building, will not be permitted to
"play hookey" - If County Superintendent
Jackson has his way.
At the opening assembly yesterday morn
ing at which announcements for the week
were made County Superintendent Jackson
warned the teachers against attempting
:o ahlrk attendance at any of the ses
sions. He said: "Don't think you can hand In
your check at the door and then slip out
and do your shopping and get marks
for a full day'a attendance. Shopping Is
not attending Institute. If you want to
he marked for attendance you must be
there in person. You cannot send your
check by someone else, for I have given
he boys at the doora strict Instructions
to take only one check from each person
vvho enters.
The attendance record of each teacher
tttendlng the Institute will be made up
torn the checks which the teacher Is re
julred to present at the opening of each
talf day session.
County Superintendent Jackson had estl
nated an attendance of abo.it 2o0 and his
stlmate was correct, as at the close of
le afternoon 247 teachers had been en
olled. This number, it la expected will
be slightly Increased today.
For facilitating the work of the In
stitute the teachers are enrolled in four
uivlbions as follows:
Division A Includes those who expect
to teach in grade schools, from the third
grade up. together with the principals,
supervisors and special teachers
Division B comprises teachers of more
than thirty-six weeks' experience, who ex
pect to teach In rural schools.
Division C comprises those who expect
to teach In rural schools, but who have
not hud a school year s experience.
Division D Include IrlnHoi ..r..
tors and teachers of first and second
grades.
Many of those In attendance at the In
stitute are either new teachers or pros
pective teachers, some having been grad
uated from high schools only last June
and preparing for their Initial experience
In Instructing pupil of rural schools. A
number of the older teachers took courses
in collegiate Institutions during the sum
mer and are consequently excused from
attendance at the county Institute.
The afternoon aesslon yesterday was de
voted to two lectures, one by Prof. W. N.
Clifford, until recently superintendent of
the public schools . of this city and the
other by Prof. George H. Betts, extension
lecturer from the Teachers' college, Colum
bia university. Prof. Clifford's subject was
"Paul Revere." and the lecture was made
most entertaining by a number of pictures
and places and scenes mentioned In the
lory. Mr. Clifford had visited a number
of these places and gave Interesting de
scriptions of them.
Prof. Betts' lecture was on 'The Teach
er's Educational Creed," and was replete
with practical advise and pointers for his
audience.
The lectures for today are as follows:
Morning "The Schools of Yesterday, To
day and Tomorrow," Illustrated. Prof.

IS 1T
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE3 MOINES, Sept. l.-tSpecial.)-In
his message to the general aseembly this
afternoon Governor Cummins did not rec
ommend any special form In which tho
amendment to the primary law should be
made but suggeated that it be general so
as to apply to all political parties under
like circumstances and that all republicans
and none others should be allowed to vote,
that the cxpersslon be taken at the No
vember election to avoid expense of a
peclal primary and Bays that "when you
have answered the question what Is re
quired lo be a republican you will have
discovered the test that should be applied.
It la generally believed that there are In
Iowa more than 300.000 men belonging to
that party. Not on of them should be ex
cluded from the prlvlege nor should any
others be entitled to It."
Tho governor stated In his message that
he conaiders the failure of the primary law
provide for the contingency that has
arisen, coupled with the death of the can- 1'
dldate an extraordinary occasion within I
tho meaning of the constitution; that the I
increasing difficulties of government, the 1
supreme necessity of Inspiring confidence
in the wisdom of the laws have graduully
established the policy In western and
southern states of taking a primary vote
on senator; that the attempt of congress
to regulate corporations Is as yet but ex
perimental and Incomplete; that ths legis
lature gave the people of Iowa a chance
to s lect their candidate for senator but
that the selection of one party has been re
moved by the hand of death and either
the members of that party for six jeais
aro lo be denied the right of selection by
primary or the general assembly must
amend the law; and that he has unhesi
tatingly decided that the welfare of the
p.Hple demands the extra session and
amendment of the law.
Ik took a firm stand against the Ore
gon plan of allowing everyone to vote on
ecu. or regardless of parly affiliation, and
that the nomination of the party candidate
i-hould be held strictly to the party mem
bers. I.an on Filling; Vacancy.
On the existing vacatwy In the senate
the governor staled that a great deal of the
dlHcusslon In the state has been carried j
on without reference to the law. He then
quoted section 3. paragraph 2, of tho con
stitution of the Cnited States, which Is:
And if a vacancy happens by resignation
or otherwise duiing the recess of the legis
lature of any stu.ie the executive thereof
may make temporary appointments until
tiie next meeting of the legislature, which
shall then fill such vacaiA-y.
The governor said had he made an ap
pointment It would expire with this meet
ing of the legislature, and that if It should
adjourn without filling the vacancy he
would have no power then to appoint.
The governor further quoted the act of
congress relative to the time and mariner
of electing senators, aa follows:
Whenever on the meeting of the legisla
ture of any state a vacancy exists in the
representation of such state in the senate
tiie legislature shall proceed on the second
Tuesday after meetli.g and organisation to
elect a person to fill such a vacancy la
the manner prescribed In the preceding
section for the election of a senator for a
full term.
Thirty or forty members of the legisla
ture called upon Governor Cummins during
the forenoon at his office ar.d there was a
lengthy discussion of the problem In hand
at that time. Must of the msmbers uf the
legislature had reached the city by noon,
though they were slow In arriving. It is
being suggested today that the legislature
after amending the law, adjourn till a week
or two after the November election and
then meet and elect the man nominated by
the November primary. There was no In
dication today aa to how the legislature
might decide to amend the law.
Both Homes Organlie.
It took either house but a few minute
to perfect an organization by the election
of the old desk employes, such as clerks
and assistants. There will be no committee
clerks this session. Two or three stenog
raphers for each house, It is believed, will
do all the business.
The house provided for a special com
mittee to consider the governor's message
and report as speedily as possible. Speaker
Kendall appointed five standpatters, five
progressives and five democrats. They are:
Darrah, Stillman, Lee, Sullivan and Grier,
progressives; Berry, Jones, Hackler, Moore
and Harding, standpatters; and Pi ice. Gen
eva, Demur, McDonald and Pierce, demo
crats. In the senate Lieutenant Governor Garst
announced the appointment of tne appro
priations committee of last session and of
tho old senate elections committee. Sen
ator Crossley of the elections committee,
who will not attend this session, being In
Alaska,, was left off, and Gilllland, Peter
sen, Whipple and Mattes were added to the
committee. These committees met tonight
Jointly in the hope of laying the founda
tions for the bill to amend the primary law.
The democrats held a caucus downtown
tonight to discuss plans for the session. It
Is well understood that they will oppose
restoring the circle to the ballot, which Is
being advocated, and will do everything
possible to provide for no restrictions as
to party affiliation In the voting for United
States senator. They contend for this on
Che ground that there are many progres
sives who this year would vote for Bryan,
but with any restrictions will vote the re
publican ticket In order to vote for Cum
mins. It seems possible tonight that the
republicans may get together on requiring
a vote on presidential elector, governor,
congressman and legislator.
