Iowa boards push coordinated higher education plan
Des Moines reports the state board of education filed a biennial report urging coordination of Iowa’s state institutions and expanded extension work.

Cattle Congress Plans Training for Trades and Rural Education
The Iowa Cattle Congress outlines funding needs to support continuation classes for wagoners and skilled workers and to train stationary engineers and artisans. The plan, backed by the Iowa Manufacturers' Association and State Federation of Labor, asks for a $30,000 emergency fund to cover college of agriculture activities and upcoming work. The report also notes home economics as a technical teaching course, pending changes from President Seerley, including eliminating student fees and expanding rural teacher training and departments. At a Dairy Show stockholders meeting in Waterloo tonight, financial reports will be presented, showing strong finances and early sales progress for next October’s show.
