COUNTY EDUCATIONAL MATTERS
BY SUPERINTENDENT MORTON.

If we are in doubt as to our meth
Cd of presenting Il subject to the
class, let us ask ii we really nnder-
stand it ourselves, Ii we can answer
it readily and truthfully in the atfir-
native, then let us turn our mind
upon itself and recall a portion OF
our school life which was devoted to
the learning of new subjects. If We
can trace these various steps, it will
surely enable us to help the pupils to
clear the difficulties with which they
come in contact. But, says one,
1--WE need not 90 SO far back as to
revive the methods Of our school
days and of course, that is true, for,
with our improved ways and appli-
ances we can accomplish more read
lily the end in view; ii, along with
these improvements, has come great
er skill in in%structing. There is no
reason to doubt that there has been
a steady march along this line and
the great army OF teachers is con-
tlnuing to inquire more and more
about the profession. There Is no
royal road" to an education but it
is equally true that our present high
way is decorated with more that III
spires and that gladdens than ever
before. A closer study OF our own
minds and those OF u pupils, and
more familiarity with that which we
would present means better things
in store for the children OF our coun-
ty.
Miss Mamie FOsseiman has secured
IA good position in the schools at
Weiser, Idaho. Before going to
that place she will visit in the east
possibly as far as Washington, d. G..
Miss Fosselman is one OF our best
teachers and the people of Weiser
will soon recognize in her the qualities
that become the best teacher. Our
best wishes go with her.

Facts SO Openly and Honestly Demon
onStrated by Cardo'S Representative
that no n can GainSay but that their
work il a Boon to suffering humanity
Perhaps people thought when
the CardO Drug Company came
to Miller that the announcement
made by their physician, the first
evening that SO perfect was their
treatment for disease that they
could give back to a rheumatic Grip
pie the use of limbs or arms, that it
was an idle boast. But all will now
have to admit that they spoke wise
ly and only of what they knew was
an assured fact. For a period cov-
ering fifteen years Mr.. James Ander-
son of this town had as he thought
been hopelessly crippled in his right
arm, from rheumatism to the extent
that he could not raise the member
above his head.
Last Friday he called upon Cardo's
physician and upon solicitation
placed himself under the celebrated
treatment for rheumatism. In less
than 30 minutes from the beginning
of the treatment he was given free
and perfect use of that member,
which fact he demonstrated the i'm
mense audience Friday evening when
he was called to testify to the truth
of the fact. Mr.. Anderson is well
known in and about Miller and his
friends are congratulating HIM on
his release from that whichfOr fifteen
years had proved so detrimental to
him in his work. Nor is the result
temporary but the gentleman Is still
free from the distressing pain he sui
fered so constantly from in former
days.
The Cardo Company will remain in
Miller up to and including Monday,
Aug.3.
To any suffering from rheumatism
in any OF it's many forms should not
loose the opportunity to call upon
Cardo's representative and secure
his advice which is free OF charge.
They can be found at any time
through the day at their office tents
between the hours of 9 and II A. Nj.
and l and ) =. NJ. y
