HOW JEFFERSON RECEIVED THE MINISTER
We have already had many complications
with foreign ministers at this capital grow
ing out OF questions Of rank and preoe

by taking into dinner at the White House

ison, instead of the wife of the British min
lister, Mrs. Merry, who was present tn,
minister TOOK II ms an insult and made the
matter the subject of IN official communi
cation to hir government. Our minister Mt
London, Mr.. Monroe, was very glad of the
occurrence because some time previously
ut some social function In London the wifi
of an English undersecretary had been
given precedence over Mrs. Monroe. Thus
the matter was permitted to drop. though
Mrs. Merry never afterward attended en-
tertainments at the White House, and Min
lister Merry appeared there only In his Off
cial capacity on occasions such as New
Years day, when he could not stay away
without being guilty Of rank discourtesy.
This same Minister Merry was made very
indignant on his first appearance here be

could arrange their own rules Of ppecedence,

Teachers of Wasco:
Our county institute this year will be

following leading teachers of the county
have agreed to act as instructors: Professor
John Gavin, The Dalles; Aaron Frazier,
Dufur; G l.. Gilbert and P. A. Snyder,
Hood River; P. P Underwood, Boyd.
1t has been determined to hold two
classes simultaneously, embracing every
day each one of the ten studies required of
teachers in examination. features of the
institute will thus combine normal training
and preparation for examination. By ex
animation of the program 1t will be seen
that any six of the ten studies can be taken
at one course. 1t is expected that each
teacher will select such a course as best
suits their wants, and keep to that through
out.
A great deal of time and money is spent
on these institutes for the sake OF the
teacher, and 1t is earnestly hoped that all
will attend. Remember the law requires
you to attend at least two days; and you
cannot possibly keep up with the school
work in the county unless you do attend
Good board and lodging can be had at
not to exceed 81 per day. Any that wish
to camp will have commodIous place fur
nished to pitch their tent free of cost.
