THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, DECEMBER OF IOWA COUNCIL SLOUFES. FOR COMPULSORY EDUCATIO Tmportans Matter to Oeme Up Before Sta Teachers’ Association. PROPOSED BILL ALREADY FORMULATED Likely to Undergo Varions Amend- ments, So It Will Be Without Objection on Part of Par- ochial Schools One of the most Important matters to come before the meetivg of the Teachers' association in Des Moines this week will be a proposed legislative meas. | ure providing for compulsory education In | Iowa. Superintendent Clifford of the Coun- cil Blufts schools is a member of the legis- | lative committee having the proposed meas- | ure in charge. Oiher members of the com- mittee are Superintendent J. J. MecCon- nell of Cedar Rapids, chalrman; C. U. Gor don of Clinton, 8. H. Sheakley of Des Mofnes, George Chandler of Osage, A. W. Btuart of Ottumwa. A rough draft of the proposed measure has been prepared by several prominent educators of the state at the suggestion of the committee, but it Is thought it will not be accepted in its present form, as the committee desires that such a bill shall be tormulated as will be without the slightest objection on the part of the parochial schools. In its present form the bill provides that every child in the state between the ages pf 7 and 12 shall be required to attend wchool full time during tho school year, while children between the ages of 12 and 14 shall be compelled to attend at least twelve weeks cach year unless a certificate can be shown to the effect that the child has completed the regular course in the grammar department of parochial or pri- vate school. n Sympathy with Labor La: Tho compulsory education bill will, fn sympathy with the labor law which it ls sald 18 to be agitated at the coming ses- slon of the legislature, provide that no person, firm or company can employ & child under 14 years of age unless tho educa. tional requirements have been met. The penalty for fales swearing on the part of parents or guardians will be a fine of not loas than $10 or more than $50 or a term in Jull of fifteen days or both. The penalty for failure to report to the school board of the district the absence of any child from wchool is $5 for the firet offense and from $10 to 350 for each subsequent oftense. Per- sons employing children under the age of 14 who have not attended school as pro- vided by law will be from $25 to $50. Another bill to come before the meeting for ite approval will be one governing the eloction of city superintendents of schools and defining the duties in cities of 5,000 inhabitants and upwards. The purpose of the proposed bill is to give greater au- thority to the city superintendents and take away some of that of the county superin- tendents. things that all city superintendents must perform within the limits of their jurisdic- | tion all the dutles now by law enjoined upon county superintendents and to make reports to the state superintendent of pub- le iustruction. One feature of the bill which, it is sald, will meet with favor at the hands of the teachers is the provision giving city superintendents power to cons duct examinations of teachers who are ap- plicants for positions in schools under his control. The meeting of the State Teachers' as- soclation will meet in Des Moines Thurs. day and last to Monday, December 30. In addition to Superintendent Clifford Princt- pal Ensign, Prof. Thomas and Miss M. Pile of the High school faculty will attend the meeting.

Gold Watch to Superintendent Clifford “We the teachers of the city schools de- siring to express in some way our apprecia tion of your personal efforts in our behalt present this watch to you as a token of our love and esteem.” This was the sentiment expressed in a note accompanying a very handsome gold watch recelved yesterday morning by Su- perintendent W. N. Clifford ot the city schools. The occaslon was the auniver- wary of Mr. Clfford’s birthday and ‘had been selzed by the 134 teachers of the Council Bluffs public schools to express in the man- ner they did thelr esteem and affection for him.

Con- rad was held here today, largely attended by his comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic and members of the bar There are a large number of candida for the place to succeed him It was un- derstood there would be another vacancy on the same bench the coming year, «o that candidates for judiclal honors had al- ready been active some time Governor Shaw, it {s understood, will not appoint a successor to Judge Conrad, in view of the fact that he is near hie term of office, and the district is tho home of his successor He will leave the place vacant and permit Governor Cummins to name the judge. In view of the large number of active candi- dates for the place and the proepect of a bard fight in the campalgn next year for nomination, the present plan is to have Governor Cummins name some one for the place who will merely fill the vacancy and o8 bonbons | fi0;, 0 887, after which whe be- | L ere will be a joint meeting this even- | not be a candidate for the nomination at the hands of the republican party. This wiil relleve Governor Cummins of the em- barrassment of having to choose between the rival candidates and precipitating a fight. Those who are mentioned as prob- able appointees In case this plan ls carrlea out are Judge Ryan, Judge Nourse and Judge Given. Nelther one would care to take a place on the bench permanently, but might fill out an unexpired term. Parole Revoking Causes Protest. A delegation of residents of Marshall county have notified Governor Shaw they will be in Des Moines on Monday to pro- test against the revokation of the order for the freedom of Milo Dowd, who was taken back to the penitentiary on Saturday by order of the governor. It s clalmed that the movement to have Dowd taken back was the result of spite, and that while he has been somewhat quarrelsome he has made a fairly good citizen since ho was re- leased on parole flve years ago. Recently he was arrested for assault on several charges, but was acquitted on all. A pe- tition has been circulated in Marshall county, which will be presented to the gov~ ernor on Monday, and this contalns the names of nearly 250 persons Who ask the governor to reconsider his action In send- 1pd Dowd back to the penitentiary. Change in Road L Members of the leglslature from the east- ern part of the state are preparing to urg upon the legislature some bills making rad- fcal changes 1n the road improvement laws of the state, At a convention of supervisors and county officlals of the Second districe held In Davenport resolutions were passea ‘n line with this proposed reform, making the following demands: Whereas, Many petitions are belng pro- sented to 'the varfous countles asking for permanent {mprovements highways; therefore, be it Retolved, By this convention that the legislature’ of Towa should enact a law whereby convicts in our state penitentiarics should ‘be required to quarry rock for the improvement of "highways ‘and that the state should put in rock-crushing plants and furnish macadam to the various coun- ties to be delivered on board the cars at sald {nstitutions, the counties to pay the transportation ‘charges. Rallway com- panies should be compelled to haul the same at the lowest possible rates. This method of employment, we belleve, would obviate the now existing cont. versy he tween skilled and convict labor and fm- prove our highways without additional expense to the people. Vhereas, The onerdistrict road plan has been tried in various townships throughout the state and has been found to be more guccesstul than. the old plan; therefore, e it Resolved, That we reaffirm our former actfon favoring the adoption of the one- district road plan. Convention of the Gideons wa on The second annual state convention of the Gideons closed at Ames today. This is an organization of Christian traveling men engaged In more or less of religlous work along with their secular pursuits. The con- vention was well attended, there being trav- eling men and thelr wives from all over the state and several of the national officers from outside of the state. Among those participating in the program were: W. H. Darner, Marshalltown; Nathan Ford, Des Moines; A. W. Lawnsbery, Cedar Raplds; E. C. Rowell, Sloux City; J. E. Ives, Marion; F. B. Nichols, Mason City; L. W. McKown, Davenport; John J. Nicholson, Janesville, Wis., and 8. E. Hill, Belolt, Wis. The Gideons largely took charge of the church and Sunday school work in Ames for today. Another New Courthounse. At a special election held for the purpose the people of Sioux county voted In favor of borrowing $60,000 with which to bufld a new courthouse at Orange City. This was on a very light vote, but the majority was decisive. The people of Orange City had previously agreed to put up $15,000 cash, which will give the county authorities a | total of$76,000 with which to bulld the courthouse. The present courthouse is prob- ably the worst in the state and this action ends a long fight over the location of the county seat. A short time ago the county voted to leave the county seat at Orange City. Buys Large Plant.
