LAWS FOR TEACHERS.
Provisions of a New Bill Under
Consideration.
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED.
Pedagogues OF the State Given an Oppor-
tunity of Expressing Their Opin-
ions on the Subject.

When the Puget Sound schoolmasters' Club
met at Port Townsend, 1.-THE City Certifcation
OF Teachers" was one of the subjects brought
up for discussion. bill framed by Professor
+. J. Browne and designed as an improvement
upon and q substitute for the present statute
was introduced and discussed A committee
was appointed to canvass the state aud to deter
mine the existing feeling concerning the pres
ent law and the best method of improving
upon il.
The committee, which consisted of F. A.
White, q. p. Johnston and F. J. Browne, has
proposed a list OF queries which will be issued
in the form OF a circular, addressed 10 educators
all over the state. In the circular the following
questions are asked:
Should the city examination OF teachers ex-
empt them from further examination?
Should licensing power and employing power
De held by the same person3
should licensing power and employing power
De separated to any degree TO prevent possible
abuse of either?
should county examinations be uniform, as
now provided by law?
Should city examinations be uniform with
the county examinations?
Should city examinations be uniform in all
cities in the state?
that skilled primary first and second Year,
teacher is specialist?
Should teachers have an incentive 10 raise
the standard OF qualification?
Is scholarship the basis OF certifcation?
Is method the basis OF certihcauon?
Do you approve of series of graded certih-
Gates, increasing the time and breadth of schol-
arship in each higher certificate until maxi
mum?
Do you prefer to legislate as much in detail as
possible, in order to destroy opportunities for
abuses?
Do you believe a graduate of any institution
of higher instruction should be held on an
equality with graduate OF a state or city nor
NAL?
Do you believe in granting certificates to any
persons without examinations?
Do you believe a term of years as a successful
teacher warrants certificate regardless OF for
mer scholastic standing?
Do you wish to omit from or add to the ex-
emptiOns from examination that are provided in
the present city law?
should there be special truancy laws for
cities?
should city schools prepare pupils for the
state university?
should all pupils be compelled to take music
when a special study?
Should kindergarten schools be a part of the
public school system?
In the bill that is being discussed, and which
may some day be known to fame as the Browne
BILL, one of the chief amendments to the pres
ent case is a clause which makes the licensing
and the appointing power entirely separate.
This feature, in the estimation OF Professor
Browne and the friends of the movement, is
destined to reduce to the minimum the oppor-
tunities for securing positions in the public
schools by dishonest means.

kind Today there is Sunday school, which

In July last Rev. J. Shepherd came out from
Ohio also, under the direction of the Board of
Missions, and took up the work at South Seattle

and at the earnest solicitation of many of the
citizens He has proved to be the right man in
the right place, receiving aud maintaining the

M. shepherd breaches to the people every two

GOSPEL FOR SAILORS.
The Work of the City Mission and Sea-
mems Bethel and Its History.

The Work of the City Mission and Sea-
mems Bethel and Its History.
The City Mission and seamen's Bethel, under
the charge of Chaplain Thomas Rees, is one OF
the many evangelistic organizations of the city
that is doing good work in quiet and unosten-
tatious way.
Chaplain Rees is an old mariner, and he I'M
derstands perfectly the sailors situation and
his need of place for worship. The City Mis-
sion and Seamen's Bethel is consolidation of
the two societies whose names are still retained.
The city mission had memorable career. 1t
was started almost spontaneously early in the
winter following the fire in the tent on South
Fourth street, between Washington and Main,
until then known as the Cremorne theater.
The block, and in fact the whole community,
was entirely covered with tents, and most of
them were occupied by saloons, variety theaters
and gambling concerns. The Cremorne theater
become such a disreputable resort that it was
closed by the police, and number of enterpris-
ing Christians, among whom was the Rev.
Whitaker, then pastor of the First Baptist
church, got possession and turned it into
church with reading in connection.
The mission was highly successful for
a time, and hundreds of the very
worst class of citizens would stumble
into the tent, thinking that it was a theater a
saloon, and many remarkable cases of reclama-
ton OF besotted sinners to correct lives were
made But the tent burned down one day, and
the mission was moved to the second story of
the present Y 2 lodging-hous on South Second
street, near Washington. Here Rev. Morgan
conducted it and Chaplain Rees first became
identified with its management. He spoke to
hundreds OF seamen and laborers, and the work
was abundantly successful. From there the
mission was moved to the Ingalls, block, at the
corner of South Second and Jackson streets, and
finally to its present location on South Third
street, between Main and Jackson streets.
ms mr. lagf m her al M
the Seattle Seaman's Friend Society by the adj
vice of the trustees, joined his work to that of
the city mission. The work is undenOmiua-
tional in its character, and when attendants do
not wish TO unite with the mission they are in
troduced in some church. free reading room
is run in connection, which is supplied with
periodicals by the various publishers aud by
the Womans' Christian Temperance Union.
Chaplain Rees visits ships and steamers every
week and distributes tracts and papers, and he
supplies Bibles to Eailors going on a long
journey.
In speaking OF his mission, Chaplain Rees
said:
al have letters from seamen in all parts OF the
world who have been converted at our mis-
sion. Financially, the burden of the expenses
have fallen upon few, and want to express
my thanks to those who have SO kindly helped
us. While the Seamans Friend Society is
united TO the city mission, II derives no finan-
cial aid from 1t.
ave want the public to come and see what we
are doing, aud we are sure that they will get
some good out OF our meetings"

Breeding Poultry for PIumage.


While breeders have done excellent work
in raising our breeds of poultry up to
higher degree of usefulness, yet there is
no doubt that more could have been ac-
complished if the qualities of the breeds
had been given closer attention. The fact
that breeders of today can produce ''birds
of a feather" with markings exactly what
was intended they should be at the be-
ginning of the attempt to make any GER
tain breed uniform, is proof that had a
like course been pursued in regard to the
characteristics of the breeds as regards
laying, table quality and hardness. we
would have fowls far more valuable than
we are at present blessed with.
There Is too much fancy" in the poul-
tIy business. Breeders OF poultry are be-
hind the breeders of cattle, swine, sheep
and horses, Is less attention is given by
breeders of animals to the exterior points
and marks OF color than to desirable quail
ties. II is often the case that a valuable
breed is destroyed in the attempt to tx

Feeding Poultry.

Lewiston, Me-, Journal.
Potatoes with corn meal and shorts and
mlddlings form a good feed for poultry at
this season of the year. Take small pota-
toes. according to the number of the fowls;
wash and put them in kettle and cook
till done; then turn off the water and
mash them fine. Mix in about one-half as
much meal, shorts or middlings as there
is potato, mixing thoroughly while the
potato is hot; season with a little salt and
also cayenne pepper every other morning,
or every morning when the weather is ex-
tremely cold when ready let it cool little
and feed it to the hens in a trough; have 4
board running lengthwise of the trough
above the feed so that they cannot get
their feet into it. Give this in the morn
ing and some kind of whole grain at night
thrown down TO them, no more than they
will eat up clean.
