County academy system urged to bridge rural and city schools
Prof C G Wilcox of Sergeant Bluffs IA argued for a county academy high school system to address industrial social and economic problems.

Mrs S M Harbaugh and Mrs R M Gunn offered practical talks on keeping youth on farms and using gasoline engines to aid housework. Judge Kansier commented on farm life and a nominating committee was formed as the institute nears adjournment.
