INSTITUTE NUMBER.

The Column comes 10 greet the teachers
OF Hand county at time when they are
especially interested in the work of their
profession. The period during which
the Institute is held should be one of
greatest profit to the teacher, for il is at
that time he meets his fellow teachers and
receives new inspiration and Stimulus
for the work of the school room. The
true benefit which We receive, whether
within the school or not, consists not so
much In the knowIedge-that which
could be placed upon paper-as il does in
the new lines of thought that have been
suggested to us, and the new power we
have acquired to use the knowledge
already in our possession. But it is only
the interested teacher who receives beneft
from such gatherings. From his school,
his educational journal and the store
house of his own mind he has been draw
inp the material which he has worked over
so many times that he is anxious for
something new, something from the
OtHtI5.
This he gets at a meeting of teachers.
The teaching profession still lacks that
strong bond Of sympathy and desire for
mutual improvement so noticeable in
other professions. Let the coming Insti-
tute be the means CT cultivating in us
true professional spirit and OF leading
us to inquire into the foundation principles
of that which passes under the name Of
education. 1t is to be hoped that every
teacher will take lively interest in every
exercise, and especially in those which
can not be prepared from textbooks,
but which need the light of observation
and experience. No doubt the weather
will be warm and EIany excuses can be
found for a different course, but be as:
sured that If you wait till all things are
favorable. you will wait in vain.

Astoria Pioneer: Mr.. Powderly's
argument in behalf of an eight
hour law is the best that can be
made, and his reference to the ten
hour law shows that legislation and
public sentiment combined can do
something effective toward curtail-
ing the number of hours in the
nominal working day. That they
are too long at present is not cues
toned by any who have really csn-
sidered the question a. to the actual
amount of labor required to supply
human wants under conditions
that assure a just distribution of
labor's products. Mr.. Powderly,
while favoring the "eight-honr day."
effectively disposes of some Of the
advanced N it's favor and
points to the necessity Of q more
radical reform that will assure to
the workman the full product Of
his toll. When this is brought
about, each workman can be safely

that the cause Of his committing
suicide was the effect OF u failure In
financial matters, being at one time

owing to the continued prevalence
Of misfortune, of which the effects
of the past winter cut large figure,
rendering him almost bankrupt.
He had been III n despond-

three months, stating many
times that he had given up all hope
of ever being able to support his
family, and that all of the past had
resulted unfortunate to him. Fri
