To the Teachers of Apache County

am much pleased with the privi- lege We have, of occupying some space Tn THE HERALD upon educational mat ters. Much credit is due our County Superintendent in bringing this matter about, and we will all, no doubt, be willing to respond cheerfully, so that an abundance of matter will be con- stantly on hand, with which to fill the allotted space.
 It occurs to me that inasmuch as an effort is being made to have Arizona ad- mitted as state, that our teachers, as we'll as others, should prepare for the changed condition.
 We can scarcely expect, in our scat tered condition and our five and six months school during the year, to con- pare favorab!y with the older and wealthier portions of our country; but, as they all passed through this period at some time in their history, we can profit by their experience.
 By exchanging ideas, giving short sketches of our different programmes, our methods of obtaining and main taining good order in the school room our plans of presenting the different studies to the class, so as to cause the greatest amount to be retained in the mind of the pupil-how best to develop the teacher, as we'll as the pupil, so that each succeeding year will find them better able to instruct and improve those who are placed Tn their charge.
 am of the opinion that if enough of the teachers of this county, to make it interesting, would gather at some point. during the summer vacation, and spend about one month in preparation for the coming years wOrk-the expenses would be but nOminal-that much good would result therefrom. Almost any of our settlements would offer induce ments to have such a gathering in their midst. Our County Superintendent could arrange for an institute, and 1 think he would find plenty of material 10 carry out his plans, without going to much expense in importing it.
 I would be pleased to hear from my friends on the last named subject, Wishing you all success in your labors, 1 am yours fraternally,

A. N. Goudey arrived from San Francisco last Sunday evening, and spent several days among his many friends here. Mr. Goudey is still in the employ of Lux and Miller, of that city, as buyer, and the main object of his visit at this time was to look over the range country with a view to purchasing a lot of young steers for the Nevada ranges of his company. He visited other sections before coming here, but decided that nowhere else could he do as we'll as here, and will return next month to purchase 2,000 head. He reports a great shortage in the state of Neva- da, amounting to from 30,000 to 40,- GOO head, and to supply this def- ciency, southern Arizona will have to furnish the whole number. Mir.

A Lesson of Modesty.

Mrs. Martha j. Lamb, in delightful
paper on Columbus and His Times, y
read before the graduating class of
Gardner school, expressed some facts
concerning Queen Isabella from which
the women to-day may draw a lesson of
modesty. 1t is to be feared the pro-
gressive woman of to-day looks upon
herself as rather the most progressive
since Mother Eve, but Isa bella's prog
ress" was phenomenal considering her
environment. 'She had never studied
Latin till after she became a queen"
says Mrs. Lamb, but seeing its neces-
sity in diplomatic intercourse she APP
piled herself bravely to its acquisition.
Presently it became the fashion TO study
the ancient tongues Italian teachers
were imported into Spain and there was
great enthusiasm, not few Spanish
women contributing to the brilliancy of
this comparatively unenlightened
period. 1t is interesting to look back
ward 400 years and find learned women
as well as men attending academic ex-
aminations, taking part in the public
exercises of the gymnasium, and lectur-
ing from the chairs of universities but
we shall not be likely to find it in any
country except Spain, and to the infiu-
ence and example of Isabella the credit
must he given."-N. Y. Times.

THE PROPER TITLE.

A Wife should Apply Only "Mr" to Her
Husbands Name.
In speaking of her husband, says a
correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dis
patch, woman never makes a mistake
if she calls him Mr." or my husband. :"
1t is sometimes difficult to decide when
her husband has a title just what the
wife should do with il. This is the Sc
verest rule. In speaking of her hus-
band she should not say Gen. A. or
DIR. B." but simply MIR. A." Mr.
b." No matter what he is-judge. gov
ernor, captain-to her he is and should
be plain Mr.. A." Mrs. Grant never,
even when her husband was president,
spoke of him other than Mr.. Grant,
though it is the custom of the presi-
dents wife to speak of him as the pres
ident"
The one exception to this rule of ig-
noring hel husbands official or profess
sional title is when the wife presents
him to anyone else. Then she says
my husband Senator Smith," or sim
ply DIR. Jones' The reason for this is
evident. 1t give the proper clue to the
stranger, who would wish, of course, to
address the new acquaintance with the
proper title.
Last of all let any wife take heed
how she wears her husbands title and
allows herself to be spoken of as Mrs.
Gov. Jones" or Mrs. Secretary Smith. .
No matter what title her husband has,
she has no more right to wear it than
she has to wear her husbands shoes.
