SCHOOL TEACHERS.
State School Commissioner Cor
son Renders an Important
Opinion.

State School Commissioner Corson,
following a precedent laid down by
the late Commissioners Tappan, has
rendered an important opinion as to
the purpose of that part of Section
4074 OF the Revised Statues which
authorizes county and city Boards of
School Examiners to issue primary
certificates to teachers. The opinion
was given in answer to a query made
by secretary G.. w. Nance, of the
Lawrence County Board of Examin-
ers, who asked whether applicants
for primary certificates should be
examined in the same branches and
with the same questions as appli-
cants for regular certificates.
The question has been raised by
applicants who, unable to pass the
ordinary examinations, havedemand-
ed that they be examined in branches
of study taught in the primary school
only.
In his answer Mr.. Corson quotes a
resolution adopted at its last meeting
by the State Association of Teachers,
as follows:
Resolved. That the primary GER
tificate should be professional GER
tificate, and should be granted only
to those who hold regular teachers
certificates and who show themselves
skilled in primary teaching, and the
examination should be based princi-
pally on the theory and practice of
teaching as applied to primary
work.
In addition to this Mr. Corson says
that the idea embodied in the law
does not have in view an easier ex-
animation for an applicant for a
primary certificate, but more profes.
sional examination for the special
work of primary teaching, and ex-
presses the opinion that it should be
more difficult to obtain than the reg
ular teachers certificate. He thinks
that the applicant should already
hold regular certificate, and that
this special certificate should be made
an Indication of proficiency in teach
ing higher than that indicated by
the regular certificate. He adds that
the primary certificate alone would
not be valid for work in intermediate
grades.

TIONS.
Per Capita in 1894, 1922; in
1926, S141-SOme Statistics.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 10.-The finan-
cial transactions of the sixteen state
institutions for the year ending Nov
ember 10, 1895, together with the sta
tistics of inmates for the same period
complied in the office of the board of
states charities were completed to-
day.
The total expenditure on account
of current expenses was 81, ,671, ,012.48
There was expended for salaries of of
ficers and expenses of trustees $780,
734 81, making a total current expense
of $1,961, 1860. During the same
period for 1894 the expenditures for
the same purposes amounted to ST.

from sources outside of the state
treasury, not including earnings of
the penitentiary. which amounted to
$22S, 1868, was $343, ,964.71, making
the net current expenses for the year
81, 732, ,C4374.
The aggregate daily average of in
mates actually in the sixteen institu-
tions during the year was 1909. For
1894 it was II, ,203, showing an increase
for 1895 of S39. The average per cap
ita cost found by dividing the net
current expenses, including salaries,
by the average number of inmates
actually in the institutions was
$141,59.
The average per capita cost for
1894 based on the same figures was
$122, 93. In this is credited the earn
ings of the penitentiary. The num-
ber of inmates remaining November

The BOND ISSUE.
President Cleveland Writes a
Characteristic Letter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The debate
on the Elkins resolution in the senate
last Friday when the administration
was accused by several senators of
having entered into an agreement
with syndicate to float the expect
ed issue of bonds is the subject of a
letter written by President Cleveland
to Senator Caffery of Louisiana. The
knowledge that such a letter had
been addressed to Mr.. Caffery was
obtained last night and the letter
was made public by the latter. 1t is
in the handwriting of the president
and covers six pages of closely writ
ten note paper. 1t is in full as fol-
lows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, Jan. ., 1884,
MY DEAR SENAToR:-I have read
to-day in the Congressional Record
the debate in the senate on Friday
concerning the financial situationand
bond issues.
/ am amazed at the heintolerance that
leads even excited partisanship to
adopt as u basis of attack the un-
founded accusations and assertions
of maliciously mendacious and sen
sational newspaper.
No banker or financier, nor any
other human being, has been invited
to visit Washington for the purpose
ofarranging in any way or manner
for the disposition of bonds to meet
the present or future needs of the
gold reserve.
No arrangement of any kind has
been made for the disposition of such
bonds to any syndicate or through
the agency of any syndicate.
No assurance of such disposal of
bonds has been directly or indirectly
given to any person. In point of fact,
decided leaning toward a popular
loan and advertising for bids has
been plainly exhibited on the part of
the administration at all times when
the subject was under discussion.
Those charged with the RESPONSE
bility of maintaining our gold re.
serve, so far as legislation renders
it possible, have conferred with each
other, and as occasion permitted,
with those having knowledge of fin
ancial affairs and present monetary
conditions as to the best and most
favorable means of selling bonds for
gold.
The unusual Importance of sue.
cessful result, II the attempt is again
made, ought to be apparent to every
American citizen who bestows upon
the subject moments patriotic
thought.
The secretary of the treasury from
the first moment that the necessity
of another sale of bonds seemed to be
approaching. desired to advertise

Small Feet and Blue Blood.

1t is generally supposed that small hands
and feet constitute token Of blue blood
and Of ancient lineage. 1t is remarkable
fact that in the house of commons in Eng
land quite the finest and smallest feet be-
long to people of plebeian birth, whereas
those whose origin has been both noble
and illustrious have the largest and most
graceless pedal extfemities. Arthur Bal
four, Lord Salisbury's nephew, than whom
1t is impossible to find any one more high
bred and aristooratic, enjoys the distinc-
tion of wearing the largest and longest
boots in the house, his footgear being in
every way absolute beetle crushers. John
Burns, the labor leader, ON the contrary,
has exceedingly small feet. It is also said
that the Princess of Wales and her daugh-
ters have large feet and exceedingly large
anu homely hands. ds.-Philadelph Times.

OHIO AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
STATION.
ALFALFA IN OHIO.
Suggestions for It's Cultivation
It's Value.

Alfalfa is plant of clover family,
and is known as Lucern in Southern
Europe, where it has been in cultiva
ton from the earliest historic times.
1t was introduced into Spanish Amer
permanent and most highly valued
feature of the agriculture of Califor-
mia, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and
New Mexico.
1t is very deep roofing plant,
which habit enable it to withstand
drouth we'll and thus adapts it to
arid regions. 1t grow very slow dur
ing the first season, making irriga-
tion necessary to establish it in dry
climates, and rendering it especially
liable to be choked out by weed or
killed by frost during its first winter
in Ohio.
The Ohio Experiment Station has
made repeated attempts to cultivate
it, both at Columbus and in Wayne
county, but the difficulty of getting
stand is so great, and the plant is so
particular about its soil, that we do
not expect its culture ever to become
general in Ohio, although there are
1
would seem that it ought to thrive.
To those who wish to experiment
with it we offer che following sugges-
ton: Select loose soil, preferably
sandy, lying above gravelly or por-
Gus sub-soil with, if possible, sub,
terranean water supply. The soil
conditions which are found in many
of our river bottom lands would seem
10 be most favorable.
Avoid soil on which water stands,
or one having hardpan near the
surface.
Prepare the land by plowing and
narrowing most thoroughly, as soon
as it can be worked in the spring
Sow the seed (Which should be Amer
lean grown at the rate of 20 to 30
pounds to the acre, and cover it with
light harrow. When the weeds
have grown to sufficient height. clip
then off with moving machine, with
the cutter bar turned up so not to
cut close to the ground, repeating
this as the weeds grow during the
seatol.
No crop is to be expected during
. the first season, but it should give
two cuttings the second year, and
after that about three cuttings each
year. If a good stand is secured on
suitable soil it will not need renewing
for many years.
The New York State Experiment
Station, at Geneva, has succeeded in
securing a fine stand of alfalfa, which
has thus far endured the winters,
and there are isolated instance OF
successful culture on the gravelly
loans of southwestern Ohio and on
the sandy lands of the lake shore.

He is restless at night and cannot

his reason from constant brooding.- =
He eats but sparingly and answers
all questions in moody, abstracted
manner, sometimes at random. His
brutal murder of City Marshal Aug
ust Schultz and his actions leading
up to that tragedy show him to be a
desperate man, and the guards keep
a close watch on him to see that he
neither does himself nor anyone else
