SUPERINTENDENTS TALK SHOP Men Who Direct School Affairs in Southwestern Jowa Start Work Promptly. Hon. R. C. Barrett, state superintendent of publc instruction, presidec &t the open ing session yesterday afterncon of the couvention of county superintendents of southwestern lows, Beld in the office of County Superintendent McManue. The program as originally prepared was not followed, owing to the absence of sev- eral named to take part. The first ques- | tion discussed was, “The amount of time required by the county superintendent in the office.”” The conclusion reached was that to serve the schools best the county superintendent should visit them more fre- quently, but in order to accomplish this every county superiniendent should be fur- nished a deputy who could remain is the office and attend to the work there. The couclusion reached on the discussison of the quesiion, “What do you consider to be them in the weveral schools of the county. Concerning the granting of a state cer- tificate for two years to a graduate from the accredited schools as recommended by the State Board of Examiners, it was the conseneus of opinion that no such certifi- cates should ba {ssued to women under 18 ars of age and to men under 19 years age. Regarding the character of county examination questions the conclusion of reached was that at least fifteen questions | should be prepared on each subjeél and the applicant privileged to choose and write on any ten of the questions. With reference to duplicating of tificates, it was recommended that the state superintendent make a change In some of the rulings pertaining to this ques- tion, so as to give the county superin- tendent more liberty along this line. The county superintendents present at the opening session were W. V. Norris, Adams county; Arthur Farquahr, Audubon cer- Mary E. Hostetler, Marshall county; George H. Colbert, Page county; George A. Lux- ford, Shelby county; H. S. Ash, Taylor county; Ira B. Johnson, Cass county; O. J. McManus, Pottawattamie county.

The opening session today will be at 8:30 a. m. There will be a rummage sale at the cld Beno building on Friday and Saturday of this week. BURNS FILES APPEAL BOND Signed by Surety Companies in Sum of $600,000, Which is Accepted by Doyle. The supersedeas bond in the sum of $600,000 for the appeal by the defendant to the state supreme court in the celebrated mining suit of James Doyle against James F. Burns, president of the Portland Gold Mining company of Colorado was filed in the district court here yesterday by former Governor C. 8. Thomas and Ralph W. Smith of Denver. The bond is signed by the Fidelity and Deposit company, the United States and Guaranty company and the American Bonding and Truet company of Baltimore. The bond was accompanied by a stipulation signed by the attorneys for Doyle that it was satisfactory to them and accordingly it was accepted by Freeman Reed, clerk of the district court. The bond also bore the signatures of James F. Burns and Ralph W. Smith, rep resentative of the three bonding companies. But for the acceptance by Deyle and his attorneys of a bond in the sum of $600,000, Burns would have been unable to furnish a surety company bond. The Iowa law limits such bonds to 10 per cent of the capital stock of the bonding company, and it is said that the combined capltal stock of such companles entitled to do business In Iowa does not amount to $6,000,000, although their assets are much greater than that sum. Judge Green's judgment entry in the case was received here yesterday and duly en- tered on record. It gives Deoyle judgment for $446,922.73, the amount awarded him by the jury last December, and $8,044 interest |on the judgment to date.
