One OF Its Trustees a Crooked hohA
President.
William H. Cochran, president OF tne
First National Bank of Del Norte Col. a
trustee of the swindling Mutual Building
Building and Land Syndicate, of No. A
Montgomery street, was a few days ago SEN
fenced by Judge Hallett, of Denver, Col,
to five years in the United States prison for
making false reports of the condition OF his
bank to the comptroller of the Treasury.
Cochran was elected a trustee of the syn
dictate at the last meeting, and a few days
prior to his trial wrote a letter to a business
house in Jersey City asking information
about o.. w. Roper. secretary, general
manager, superintendent and treasurer OF
the promising syndicate. In this letter
Cochran admits that the syndicate is a queer
concern, and upon searching investigation
made by Cochran he finds "tho syndicate
has not made any loans to Colorado as 1t has
represented doing" Nevertheless the
promises and representations of Mr.. Roper
were so fattering and rosy that Cochran,
who had been for some time nibbfing the
bait of being made a participation in the DIS
honest gains of the syndicate fairly swal-
lowed it wholesale.
The untimely and unlocked for conviction
and sentence in Denver deprives the Mutual
Syndicate of Jersey City of one of its shin

HOW sHRIMPs ARE CAUGHT.

The shrimps sold in this city are caught
during the night before by casters" who go,
two in a boat. to some favored locality and
there "cast" all night long for the delicious
little crustacean that is served,np at nearly
every breakfast table in the city in the morn
ing. Casting is the throwing widespread
in the water OF a circular net, the edge of
which is weighted with leaden balls and pro-
vided with drawing strings, which, passing
through the center of the net are at
tached to the edges. The net, when cast
in the water, of course, sinks more rapid
ly at the edges than in the middle, and
confines within its meshes the sbrimps over
which it may nave fallen The rope to
which is attached the drawing string being
pulled, the net closes at the bottom and is
lifted into the boat with its contents. When
Aurora begins his work in tintirig the east
ern sky, these hardy casters are on their
wav to the city. Here they land over their
booty to men who carry them about the
streets, measuring tae shrimps out to them
from their boats by the .'plates' or pan. the
seller agreeing to sell the shriinps and hand
over the proceeds. less a liberal commission.

TEXTBOOKS OF TODAY.
Their Use and Abuse Indicated by
College Professor.

A11eAf Use aUu n AS ~ -
College Professor.
Of the many textbooks in use in our
schools and colleges, not one of them is the
absolute product of a master mind, but the
continued products of many minds, great
and small; still the goal of perfection has
not been reached in many things Of a scien-
tific nature. Imperfect as our. textbooks are,
they are very helpful and indispensable, but
brain material is more expensive than book
material.
One teacher will accomplish as much with
them as five or ten will without them.
The textbooks of today are better adapted
to the capacities of the young than those a
century ago were. Authors Il publishers
of first class textbooks are deserving of much
credit, though they sometimes make errone-
Gus statements, as will be shown An super
iuities and sugar-coated incongruitles should
be stricken from our textbooks, that pure
logic may take the place of ambiguity and
obscurity. 1t is the imperative duty of the
teacher to report such errors as may be dis
covefed to the authors for correction. Every
teacher should study originality, instead of
depending entirely on the questions and
wers given in textbooks, as machine
teachers are liable to do. 1t Is the teachers
duty to give some attention to technicalities
10 avoid the misconception OF ideas so pre-
valent in our schools and colleges.
Textbooks are subject to abuse by the
small boys and girls for play, tall boys and
girls abuse them when they fail to study
them with a desire to gain all the pract 4
information possible from them: and teach
ers abuse them by allowing students to copy
results and by neglecting to e%lucidate that
which may appear too complex for the
Students comprehension. Textbooks are
not intended to release the teacher from all
responsibility, nor the students mind from
being exercised to such an extent as it may
need to generate a healthy development.
They evidently are intended to direct and
inspire thought and action, and are to be
accredited with the measure of good sense
embodied therein.-A. f. Macheg, Genera,
