REPORTS ON COUNTY SCHOOLS Superintendent McManus Regrets the Dic- appearance of Male Teachera CUPID CAPTURES WOMEN INSTRUCTORS Result is that Each Year Decrease in Average Experience tructors in the Pube e Schools. In his annual report of the schools of Mpottawattamie county, which County Su- | perintendent McManus completed yester- day and forwarded to State Superintendent Barrett, he calls particular attention to the constantly decreasing number of men teachers, due to the Inadequate salary oftered by the school districts for their services. Regarding the tendency of men to leave the teaching professions Superin- tendent McManus says in his report: The report shows fewer men teaching in the county than ever before. It also shows that the teaching force, as a whole, has had fewer years of experience in teaching than those who were formerly engaged in the work. It shows a greater | tendency than ever ‘to make teaching a | stepping-stone to some of the other pro- fessions. Fewer men enter the profession of teaching, while the years spent in the school room by the average woman teacher are fewer than heretofore. ~The allure- ments of the financial world keep the best young men from entering the profession of teaching, because they do not wish to divorce themselves from wealth, which al- ways has been sacredly kept from the teachers’ possessions. The matrimonial en- tanglements take from the school room continually some of our best women teach- ers at a time when they could be of greater service to the community. As a natural consequence our schools are largely In charge of young women with little experience In teaching. We can hope for no better conditions until better compensation is had by the teachers of the county. The average salary now pald to the men teachers of this county is $47.04, and to women teachers is $36. After paying for a library, Which every teacher must have as an equipment, there is not enough left over for the average teacher to live through the vaca- tion. Tend Toward Free Books. Regarding free textbooks Superintendent McManus reports follows: A glance at the reports for the last decade shows a tendency on the part of | boards of directors to furnish at public ex- pense to the pupils of the district more of the puplls' equipment than was true in former years. It was a difficult matter a few years ago to get boards of directors to furnish examination paper, or drawing paper, which should be uniform, in order to be used with the greatest facility. In nearly every school corporation now writ- ing and drawing material is furnished at ublic expense, and in many places school oards have gone much farther and have urchased at public expense reference Pooka for the use of the entire school, ‘and in not a few instances all the books re- quired by the pupils are furnished out of the publle fund, thus showing a greater tendency to emphasize the real spirit of the public school, which is to bring the greatest good to the greatest number. The report is a most voluminous affair | and shows the exact financlal condition of each school corporation in the county. The amount of money expended is very large, but, as the county superintendent explains, pervisors took | when the great army of children who re- celve the advantages offered by the public schools is taken into consideration, the economy of the several boards of educa- | tion is apparent. Summary of Report. The following summary of the report presents a number of interesting statistics: Number of subdistricts in the county, 216; number of ungraded schools, 229; num- ber of rooms in_ graded schools, 113; av- erage number of months taught during the year, 8.5; number of teachers employed, males, 6; females, 545; average compensa- tion per 'month, males, $47.94; females, $36.07; number of persons between the ages of 6 and 21, males, 8,077 females, 8,062 number of persons between the ages of 7 and 14, males, 4,682 females; 4,439; num- ber of persons between 7 and 14 who are not attending school, males, 8; females, B6; percentage of those attending, & oorafng . to. the _provisions of the compul- sory law, magles, 19; females, 1.2; number enrolled in the schools of the county for the year closing September 21, 13,128, total averhnge daily’ attendance, 8, or 6 per cent of the entire enrollment; average cost of tuition per month for each pupll, %0; total number of school houses in the county, 200; total valuation of the school property, $624,199; value of the ap- aratus, $12,757; total number of volumes o the ilbraries in all the schools, 8,526 Matters in the Courts. In the superior court yesterday Judge Scott handed down a decision in favor of the plaintiff in the sult of Fremont Ben- jamin against the City of Council Bluffs and others. The decision, which is iIn ac cordance with a ruling of the supreme court, is of considerable importance to the city, as it relieves the plaintiff from pay- ment of speclal assessments amounting to $376 agalnst property on Oakland evenue which he purchased at tax sale. The spe- 1,600 clal taxes were assessed against the prop- erty In question subsequent to the purchase by Benjamin at tax sale and prior to the date of issue of deed.

EXHIBIT OF IOWA INDUSTRY Council Bluffs Manufacturers Asked to Assist in Making a Show- ing at St. Louls, A. C. Hutchins of Adel, superintendent of the Department of Manufacturing and Machinery for Towa at the St. Louls ex- position, is in the city. His visit to Coun- il Blufts has a two-fold purpose. One is to canvass the matter of exhibits that manufacturers of this city may wish to make at the St. Louls exposition and the other 1s to Interest the local manufacturers in the Towa State Manufacturers' assocla- tion with a view to thelr becoming mem- bers. Mr. Hutchins will meet the manu- facturers and business men of the city this morning at 10 o'clock In the rooms of the Commercial club, Regarding the exhibits from Iowa at the 8t. Louts exposition Mr. Hutchins had this to say last evening: “The Iowa commission wishes all the manufacturing industries of the state rep- resented. It will do all In its power to make their exhibits profitable to them. About 100 exhibits in the line of manufac- turing and machinery will be made from Towa. For the first time the commission for Iowa s endeavoring to have all her manufacturing Industries represented. All the principal manfucturing citles of the state will make some sort of an exhibit. Heretofore no appropriation has ever been made by lowa commissioners to encourage exhibitors to show up the varied indus- tries of the state except those of “Hogs and Hominy.” This exhibition will be an exception in this respect. A tomplete plant showing the pearl button industry, which is strictly an lowa industry, will be In operation at St. Louis next year showing the process of manufacture, from the cutting of blanks from the shells to the finished product. This will be made from Davenport. The greater number of exhibits will be in the line of novelties. /The more staple articles of manufacture will not be so wéll represented.” The objects of the organization of the State Manufacturers' assoclation, Mr, Hutchins stated, were as follows: First: To maintain a state assoclation of lowa manufacturers for the mutus benefit of its members without profit. Sec. ond: To correct eyils attending the cre system. Third: To promote benefi leglslation and to oppose legislation wh is hostile to the interests of lowa manu- facturers. Fourfh: To abate trade abuses and_injurious practices and to harmonize trade relations. Fifth: To secure proper freight rates and freight classifications and to extend the markets and secure new markets for Iowa manufactured products, both at home and abroad, and to assist in procuring for its members raw materials at proper prices. Sixth: To complle and distribute for the benefit of Its members, trade information, encourage improve- ments In business methods and generally advance the Interests of Iowa manufactur- ers. In addition to this it is the .intention of the headquarters to publish monthly directories of its membership and to use all possible means to encourage the pat- ronage of the lowa manufacturer by the Iowa jobber. .

It Is belleved that if they had transportation facilities they would attend the Council Bluffs High school where they would not be required to pay tuition. This belng the case the West End lmprovement club has taken the matter up and written to Captain J. F.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Oct. 16.—(Special.)—The Iowa supreme court today listened to an all-day argument from eminent attorneys representing litigants in the somewhat famous mining case from Pottawattamie county, Involving the mine operations of James F. Burns, the Colotado Springs mil- lonaire, in the Cripple Creek district. The arguments lasted all day. The case is that of James Doyle against James F. Burns. The plaintiff was “grub-staked” by Burns and others to do prospect work in the Cripple Creek district, and he claimed a share in certain of the claims, namely, the Bobtail No. 2, the Tidal Wave and the Devil's Own. It appears that Burns and Doyle divided up their business and that there was an exchange of ownership in various claims, and Burns alleges that he became sole owner of these clatms. But later Doyle brought suit and finally estab- lished to the satlsfaction of the lower court that e had a share in the ownership, and judgment was entered for more than $400,000 in his favor against Burns. It is from this judgment that the appeal has been taken. Today the arguments were opened by Car- roll Wright of this city for the defendant Burns, and he was followed by Congress- man Walter I. Smith of Council Bluffs on the same side, and John N. Baldwin of Omaha spoke for the plaintiff. This after- noon C. J. Hughes, jr.. of Denver, spoke for the plaintiff and former Governor C. 8. Thomas of Colorado closed for the de- fendant in the case. Taxation of Trust Fands. The supreme court today elucldated the law In regard to assessment and taxation of trust funds. In Davenport trust funds in the German Savings bank were assessed for $500,000, and later the district court re- duced this to $63.660 on a showing by the bank of the exact amount held. The su- preme court today reduced this to $217,700 by elimination of the funds held in trust by the bank which also belong to residents of the state. The court took the position that {nasmuch as the actual owners of thess moneys and credits are residents 6f the state they are assessable In thelr own right and' name, and to assess the funds fn the bank would be double taxation. The trust funds held for nonresidents wers properly assessed to the bank. The following were the dect: today by the court. e White & Hoskins against J. L.

The hearing beforethe district court in the case of Michael Drady, one of the flve men accused of jury-fixing, was begun to- day, and much of the testimony was sensa- tional. The testimony of the juror who gave the Information to the bar committee was obtained with much reluctance and he admitted that he had been given a fine job with the street railway company since the bar report was made public. The bar com- mittee prosecuted the case with vigor and showed the connection of varfous parties ) With the case and especially the relation of E. H. Hunter and N. T.
