ANOTHER VIEW on IT.

Side by side with this vast thron6ing
toward town life in the winter has come
proportionate longing for the country in
the summer. All persons beyond middle
age can remember the beginning of this
amazing division of social life between
summer and winter, which now gives to so
many persons Of moderate means dupli-
cate residence for the two seasons. In
our larger cities, where whole streets Of
brown stone palaces remain all summer as
silent as tho catacombs, it was formerly
the custom for those who resided In such
houses to keep them open all summer, the
family taking perhaps a for4night's 5 out
ing to the springs or the beach, and
then returning home
The lengthening vacations Of public and
private schools illustrate the same change
Of habit; there was formerly almost AS
long q vacation in winter as iii summer: in
some colleges much longer, that the
students might teach school But now the
summer vacations last In some cases three
solid months; and the migration includes
not merely the occupants Of the brown
stone fronts, but vast multitudes Of hard
working families, who dwell all summer
in tent On the beach, or IN those hives
OF summer population by inland lakes or
beneath mountains II this tendency
goes Oh developing for the next fiffv years
as for the last fifty. It may rst solve the
problem u scientific agriculture. but it
viii certainly furnish some anfidote to the
alleged evils Of cities IT W. Biguinson

an honest faithful man. He has
been, from Its beginning, strong
pillar Of the State Agricultural

win Not Offer Rewards.

To-day Gov. PennOyer informed
District Attorney Belt that he
would not offer the rewards for the
murderers of Schuyler Ford, at
Harrisburg, and the Cinnamon at
Monmouth, as asked for in petitions
of citizens of Linn and Polk
counties. The reason given for
his refusal is that the law
does not give him the express au-
thority to offer rewards and that his
action is subject to the approval of
the Legislature which may refuse to
allow the bill. He says that he will
only offer rewards in the most ur-
gent cases.

A creamer Needed.

The man or men who will build
and operate a creamery here will not
only be public benefactors but will
make money hand over fist for them
selves. That Salem needs a creamery
is made patent by the fact that
fully one-third of the butter sold in
our market is imported from Cali
fornia and brings a fancy price. In
fact geOd butter is an article that
never goes below 25 cents a pound
and is always in demand at that
figure. A creamery would pay big
right here in Marion county, and
IL someone will start one they will
become blOated bOnd-hOlders inside
Of year.

Canada, stopping at the principal
points of interest ON theway. After

Miss Lille Bennett passed an ex-
animation emitting her to third
grade certificate so faras the literary
qualifications were concerned. The
board could not grant her a certifi-
cate owing to the construction OF
the law, which provides that a
teacher can obtain third grade
certificate but once. TO obtain
second grade teacher must have
had three months experience as
teacher in addition to the literary
qualifications required by law. Miss
Bennett passed an examination last
Augustreceiving third grade certifi-
cate, but failed tOobtain school dur
ing the term for which her certificate
was granted, and consequently
could not obtain any certificate for
the reason that she had not taught
the requisite three months. The
matter was referred to the State
Superintendent for examination.
In this case the law works hard
ship and as the State Board has the
power to arrange rules and regula-
tions governing examinations it
would be well TO make "a rule cover
ing such cases.
There were thirty-three applicants
attending the examination and six
of this number failed to pass, several
of them being teachers who held
certificates under the old law. The
fact of the matter is that 1t is not
any easy matter TO obtain IA certifi-
cate under the present law and it
will stand young people in hand
who contemplate applying for
teachers certificates 10 brush up ON
their studies, and even old expert
enced teachers will find that unless
they keep up with the procession
their examinations will result in
their receiving lower grade certiti-
Gates than they now hold.

A suggestion was then made that
the meeting should declare its pref
