A sprawling column mixes farm co operatives with grain price impacts in Iowa and a defense of teachers institutes. It recounts Geo E Bowers critiquing teachers’ training and argues for robust professional development, then pivots to a historical note on Senator Platt, Hanna, Roosevelt and the 1900 presidential run, culminating in Roosevelt’s rise to the presidency and its political tempest.
