R. RYHN, Colfax, Iowa. State Superintendent Barrett Wants Ap- propriation for Three More. WOULD IMPROVE BUBAL SCHOOLS Strongly-' Urges the Township Plan of Organisation, Which Would, He Says, Not Only Improve -County Schools, bat Lessen the Expense. Des Moines, Dec.
2. Special: The biennial report of Richard C. Barrett, state superintendent of public instruction, is full of important recommendations to the legislature. The document will be one of the most interesting of its kind issued in many- years. Mr.
Barrett recommends that the legislature appropriate money to found three new normal schools, one each in the northwest, southwest and southeast corners of the state, and that these be located by a 1 commission. He names no i specific sum of money to be appropriated. Discussing the need of normal schools, he shows that the Cedar Falls institution, since its establishment in 1876 has received only $73,000 from the state for buildings' and improvements and now- draws only $38,500 annually in support fund. Yet it-has the largest attendance of any institution in the state. He adds that the state normal institutions cannot furnish enoughs first grade teachers for the city and townl schools, to say nothing of the rural schools in which 70 per cent, of the pupils are.
Mr. Barrett, pursuant to directions of the legislature, reports on his Investiga-, tion of plans for establishing schoool dis-, trlct libraries. He favors the Wisconsin plan, under which 10 cents per pupil is set aside from the school fund each year, in each district, for investment i in books. These he would have-maintained as a circulating library for. the district.
Prof. Barrett strongly urges the township plan of organization for rural schools, making the township the unit instead of tho subdlstrict. This, he says, would make is possible to have graded' schools in rural townships, the pupils, being transported from distant parts at the. expense, of the township. He says this plan -has been recommended, by every superintendent from the time of Horace Mann down to the present and the time has come when should be put into law.
He urges that it will not only, Immensely improve the rural schools, whose present inefficiency- he deplores, but will actually decrease their expense. John Coirnle Is John Cownie, of the -state board of control, declares that a recent article In the Des Moines Capital, stating that the board is planning to put in' a printing outSt and have the printing for the buildings and in-; stitutlona done by convict labor, is unqualifiedly false. article showed: on its face that It was inspired by a desire to injure said Cownie," "and' was been widely reprinted in the state opponents of the board are compelled to resort to. this kind of to make a point against this body' I was represented as having corresponded. with supply housed with reference- to putting In a plant," and it was stated that I was the prime mover in the matter.
I have never corresponded or talked with anjbody concerning such a thing neither myself nor, the board; nor any other member of It has considered such a The real reason for the attack and effort to injure the board and myself is that the board awarded its printing, and binding by competitive bidding instead of giving it to the state printer and binder. The very first job of work we had to do was submitted to bids, and the state printer bid S137.60, being state-rates. We received and three of them were less than $28. When we bought the supply of books we again received bids. Lafe Young, as state binder, presented a bid of $2,132.50, and we gave the contract to P.
C. Kenyon at $1,185. That's the real reason for the attacks that have been made," Mean to Stick to BlnejLaw. There are strong indications that the city council pass over Mayor Mac--Vicar's veto the famous 11 o'clock ordinance. -This measure provides that persons shall not be allowed to "walk or roam on the after 11 p.
m. unless they have good for so doing. It is intended to enable the police to keep disreputable characters off the streets. Mayor MacVicar vetoed the ordinance, which has made Des Moines the laughing stock, of the country; but the aldermen propose to pass it over the veto, and prospects are good for the necessary two-thirds majority Cnmmlni and Gear Claims. Interest in the speakership and senatorial contests has lagged a little this though the number of legislators to Tisit the capital was not as large as usual, because of the holiday.
W. L. Eaton, candidate for speaker, came in today to meet members, and will remain here a few He expresses confidence that he will be elected. The announcement of Representative; Prentis, of Ringgold, that, he will support Cummins, was followed by the claim "of the Gear men that they have captured Anderson; of Warren, in Cummins' own congressional district. Whether Anderson will finally line up in the Gear camp, it Is believed he is not now pledged to either candidates for senator, and both sides claim him with equal vehemence.
There is quite a general belief that Bowen, of Allamakee may finally be the Gear candidate for speaker, instead of Temple. It is. said Bowen can get two or three "votes which Temple cannot secure in the Fourth district. FIRE AT BOONE. Thirty-Six Horses and Valuable Vehicles Earned.
Boone, Dec 2. Special: The harps of Payne Son burned this morning. Thirty-six norses and many valuable rigs were lost. The origin of the fire is a mystery. Incendiarism is strongly suspected.

The loss to the Paynes is $8,000 to insurance $3,500. This is the second livery establishment that has burned in a few weeks. Smallpox Case at Cornlnar. Des Moines, Dec. 2.
