A 1929 Graettinger Times column critiques public tastes for divorce scandals, crime, and entertainment over science. It argues science must be made relevant to daily life, cites educator concerns, and urges clearer, more readable scientific reporting while noting local news on road bonds, Alaska prospects, a Manila ore vein, political inquiries, and a Des Moines hotel fire mystery.

Carris Comes To College Musical Nets Increase for School Fund
The musical play Carris Comes To College drew strong local support last Thursday, netting about 76 dollars for the high school fund used to cover deficits and transportation for contests. This compares favorably to under 80 dollars last year, reflecting growing community interest. The event required less scenery than Sailor Maids, boosting receipts, while the students’ glee club traveled to Belmond Saturday for a contest but did not place amid tougher competition. The club is small and seeks more members to reach eight for the next year.
