the Grand Jury and Gives Bonds
in the Sum OF $500.

This afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock the pre-
liminary hearing of Joseph Blonger,
charged with killing Alex. Allan, was
heard before Justice Garcia. Three wit
nesses were called, Ed. Andrews, s. W.
Smith and DR.. Massie.
DR.. Massie was first placed on the stand
and testified that he had examined the
body; that two wounds were found, and
he described the nature and character of
them; that the ball which cut the jugular
vein caused the death; but could not tell
which one was fred first.
The testimony of Andrews and Smith
corroborated the story of the killing as
told by Blonger and printed in the New

Mr.. Blonger then waived examination,
and was placed under bonds in the sum
of $4,000 to await the action of the grand
jury.
At 4 O'Clock Mr.. Blonger was released,

10 THE EDIToR:-Bellevlng our peo-
pie are interested in our schools and
in education, this report is given. I'm
der the heading of attendance and ap-
portionment give the following: In
1894 and 1895 3,703 pupils we're en-
rolled, but only 3,08S attended 40 or
more days. We had then only 88 dis
tricts where now 80 exists. There we're
in that year eleven districts with nine
months of school, Is districts with
eight months of school, % districts
had seven months of school, % dis
tricts had six, and nine districts had
only five months of school.
Five months is the smallest number
of months a district can vote and be
entitled to apportionment. In 1895
and 1896 we had enrolled 3, ,791 pupils,
of which 3,Ol4 we're returned as ap-
portionment pupils. The number of
districts had increased to 80, and we're
credited with having voted school as
follows: IL districts had nine months,
20 districts had eight, % districts had
seven, 10 districts had six and eight
districts had S.
1897, which we just closed, may be
put down as the Banner Year-4,0l4
pupils having been enrolled, of which
$3.50 we're apportionment pupils or
very nearly 78 per cent Of the gross
enrolment. Districts 33, 81 and IS
made exceptional records. Every child
was returned for apportionment. Dis
tricts 4, IL, II, 13, N, %, %, 80, 81,
80, 40, AZ, 81, 62, y, 76, 80 and 81 av-
eraged we'll, the attendance in those
districts being very nearly 80 per cent.
for apportionment. This next year
ought, if weather permits, go still
higher. The report of the number of
months of school voted by districts is
as follows for the years OF 1897 and
1898: IA districts are to have nine
months each, 20 districts are to Lave
eight, 33 districts are to have seven,
IA districts are to have six, and five
districts are to have five. Those five
districts mark themselves as saying,

petition who wilfully neglects his health.
It is not good policy to overwork, but the
great deal of it. The man who neglects his
health is soon untitled for work. When a
mans digestion is disordered and his bow
els are irregular, his blood becomes impure
and the body is badly nourished. The vic

fit for business. It enables him to stand a
reasonable amount of overwork. All good

grammar. I do, at times, find music
poorly taught, but SO many times do 1
find arithmetic more wretchedly
taught. Music as a means of voice
culture alone is worth, and we'll worth,
the fifteen minutes daily usually de-
voted to it. Fully 80 per cent of the
teaching force can teach the elements
of vocal music.
TEACHERS CERTIFICATES AND WAGES.
There is some improvement in this
field. Districts are now more disposed
to hire teacher for eight months, at
uniform salary, rather than hire two
different teachers because there were
two terms-a fall and spring, or win
ter and spring. A number of intelli-
gent boards are seeing that a teacher
is encouraged by retention, also that
it requires good teacher to teach
small children. A few years ago s'most
any one could teach our summer term,
because our children are small" Now
we hear the question, "How is Miss
Brown with the primary pupils?" "Is
she patient?" docs she like small
children?" "Has she tact and skill
with little ones?" We have nearly
passed beyond the third grade certifi-
cate. If boards of trustees would re-
fuse to employ third grader they
would render valuable assistance to
our schools.
SCHOOL ROOM APPARATUS.
Under this head I would ask for
good, well-lighted, well-ventilated and
well-warmed rooms, with good tints
on the walls to relieve the delicate
eyes of our children and curtains that
are translucent and that have har-
mony with the walls. would place
tint of light buff on the walls and
ceiling and curtain of non opaque
ness.
Every room should have four square
feet of blackboard for each enrolled
pupil. Stone slate is best. The Web
ster's international Dictionary, costing
So, is the best. Several of our. districts
have bought the worthless editions of
1847, at a cost say of $15O to 81
worthless to the student and mislead-
ing to the scholar. A good school is
made better with q good dictionary.
A few we'll chosen reference books are
wonderfully helpful in any school.
I plead for our children when ask
for comfortable outhouses. l would
ask for separate outl ouses for each
sex. So few of our Boards of Trustees
give serious attention to this question.
So many of our outhouses are totally
unfit for use in winter. Some way
should be provided to keep the doors
closed by aid of spring.
So many of our schoolrooms are SO
small and poorly built that those who
sit near the stoves are too warm, while
those sitting at distance of ten feet
are too cold. To help this, sheet

teacher is going to lie still and pay
her board for seven months in order
to teach q five months school.
FREE TEXT BOO]

FREE TEXT BOOKS.
I am pleased to say that we have
made marked progress in this line.
We now have orgaaized 80 districts,
of which 80 have adopted the loan of
books to pupils, free. There is no one
thing, from my point. of view, whichso
helps and makes a strong school as
does free text books. Twelve districts
still sell at cost, or buy at wholesale
and sell to pupils. The cost of main
tanning the system after the first year
is about 35 cents per enrolled pupil.
Some districts report at the end of the
second year, 20 cents per pupil as the
cost.
COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
It does not compel. Two, years ago
I stated that an eight months school,
taught by bright, energetic teacher
would do more towards good attend
.ance than the more stringent laws. I
am more than convinced of the truth
fulness of this now. Schools that have
improved are those which have i'm
proved the efficiency first. Raise the
standard of requirement fora certiti-
cate, and the efficiency for our schools
will soon manifest itself.
STATE AID TO RURAL SCHOOLS.
The last Legislature passed a law
wherein are certain requirements with
which several districts have already
complied. A principal requirement
is that a teacher shall hold first
grade certificate or a State Normal
school diploma. Some fifteen districts
will, this year, avail themselves of this
aid. When our school boards shall
state that teacher shall know several
times more than the most advanced
pupils of the school, our schools will
steadily advance. I have now more
first grade applicants than there are
schools desiring their employment.
This is significant when we remember
that many of the rural schools can't
get Normal graduates.
THE TEACHERS READING CIRCLE.
This year begins the eighth year in
Teachers Associations and Reading
Circle" work. Each year the member
ship has steadily increased. The i'm
provement of the teachers mind
through personal contact with her CO.
workers is now recognized as neces
sary. The association constantly dis
cusses the means necessary to develop
good reasoning power, good citizen
ship and general development of the
child's powers.
