On Wednesday morning one hundred
and twenty-three teachers assembled in
Salem at the annual Teachers Institute.
The session opened at 10 Is with singing
by the teachers and prayer by Rsv. ]
Ward Gamble.
An excellent address was given on
"Currept History" by State Superintend-
emit Baxter. This was beautiful in Ian.
guage as we'll as instructive in thought.
He said the world gave US a historical
story continued until the present day
one leaf of which was dropped daily at
our door, and chapters in endless number
will be added. His words made every
teacher feel more than ever the necessity
of current history as a distinct branch of
school work.
Next was a talk on music by Miss Parr,
who is certainly able to give instruction
on that subject. She began by telling
bhe teachers that they must follow her
all along in order to profit by her talk,
Miss Psrr then recited the following
verse. which she had once seen on a
tombstone:
you are lows so once was L :
AS 1 am now, you soon will be,
So prepare to die and follow me-"
To which she said some wag had added:
T follow you, I'm not content,
Unless 1 know which way you went"
So we could not follow her unless we
knew which way she went. Every one
was interested and well able to follow
her in her line of thought.
In the afternoon a lecture was given by
DR.. Rounds, of New York, on "Means
for Preparation and Improvement of
Teachers" He said to be a teacher one
must be born a teacher. The point to be
brought out was nicely illustrated by an
expression of Sydney Smith, who once
said that he was a round man in a trian.
gular hole. Meaning that he was IN
fitted for his line of work. DR.. Rounds
said that if round men were in round
holes and triangular men in triangular
holes, all kinds of work would go on at
a much better pace than it does at
present.
On Thursday morning an excellent ad-
dress was given by Miss Harris on 'Kin.
dergarten Work" Miss Harris has been
a kindergarten for several years and has
been able to see the beneficial results of
it. She thinks that in a few years every
public school will have a kindergarten at
its basis.
A short talk was given by DR.. Rounds
on "Moral Instruction" He is thor
oughly in earnest as to the necessity of
this training and character building in
schools, as it is here that our future men
and women are being made.
Their followed an address by Mr.. W. j.
Shearer, City Superintendent of the
schools of Elizabeth, on THE Recita-
tion." His talk was very effective, as he
made every teacher feel that their work
was to be judged by the character of the
recitation they were able to secure from
their pupils.
DR.. Rounds gave another short talk,
and then Mr.. Shesrer assumed his ad-
dress on ''The Recitation, /" after which
the session adjourned.
The program for Friday shows that
the speakers will be Mr.. Shesier and DR..
Rounds, and the teachers all expect as
much of a treat as they have received on
the other two days.

lessons were drawn from the life of this
great reformer.
At this meeting reports of the State W.
y. I. U. convention were given BY the
delegates, Mis-. Emma Hitohner and
Mrs. Mcdowell. These reports showed
that the delegates had brought back
much that would prove Of benefit to the
union.

This left us about So 40 indebtedness
for the year, which our officers have been
bearing for US. When we remember that
the union was launched without a penny
in It's treasury and then recall the
| speakers they rave secured for us. the
fnaneiering of the year is very oreditable,
the finance committee can claim no share
in it. We are told that the expenses for
our speakers at our coming convention
/ will be about SIS. Adding to this our
present indebtedness and postage ex
| penses that have meanwhile accumulated
we would actually need on Nov. 18th,
about 1922. This would en- able our new
official staff to begin with a clean page.
But this is not enough. They ought to
have a neat sun in the treasury to count
on in making out our spring program.
Some counties, by a taxing system, raise
from $500 to $1,000 each year and can
| easily give theiI county Endeavorers the
| benefit of a choice program, almost
equal to- our State conventions. 1t is
| readily seen what a blessing such con
| Ventions must be to the homes of those
| counties. Salem union can do the same
for our homes, aud will gladly do it, if
| each Endeavorer in the county will take
an active interest in her finance. The
committee earnestly urge upon all
Interested in godliness aud good citizans
for the county, both old and young, to
send or bring a liberal Offering to the
convention at D&retown on Nov. 12:h.

A Word TO the Salem County En-


From the Finance Committed
FELLOW ENDEAvoRERs: 1t is row al
most a year since we, as a committee,
have been called into existence and
become your servants in county G. E
work. Owing to the hardness of one OF
the sections in appointing its members OF
the committee, our body is no vet
complete, but duty Calls upon US to act
and so we will try to make our politest
bow to you and then begin our important
work.
Our duties have been defiued to us as
that of relieving our county off GERS of all
care of the finances of our union, and to
see that the treasury is constantly kept
IN such d condition as to assure our ex
ecutise committee that they shall not be
so hampered iu their Efforts to secure
only first class speakers for our conVen-
lions.
Now the constitution forbids US laying
any tax or assessment per member, for
the purpose of raising funds and expressly
directs that Gall offerings shall be volun-
tary." Hence the only course left for
us is to set the unions needs before you,
from time to time and trust TO your
appreciation of its services and to the
bountlful hand of God, whose we are, to
supply these needs. Believing that we
bad been called to his service by an
intelligent, appreeiative people and at the
suggestion of the beneficent head of the
church we face the future of our unions

IL has seemed good to us to set forth
for your information, an outline of the
unions expenses during the past year
before proceeding to a statement of our
present needs. The expenses for the

TWO FIGHTS AT LONDON.
Sullivan Bests Curran and Jordan
Defeats White.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-At the National
Sporting Club to-day Spike" Sullivan,
the American boxer, defeated Jimmy
Curran, the Englishman, on points in a
twenty-round go.
Later in the evening Ben Jordan, the
feather-weight champion of England,
defeated Tommy White of Chicago, in a
protracted fight of nineteen rounds.
They met at 124 pounds for a purse of
f700 and a side bet Of something more
than f2OO. This was Whites first ap-
pearance in England.
Sullivan and Curran clashed at 30
pounds for purse of t40O, and a sub
stantial side bet.
The betting favored White in the
White-Jordan contest. He is taller than
his opponent, and appeared to be clev-
erer, scoring more rapidly in the earlier
rounds. Jordan, however. never wasted
a blow, and always left the marks of
his handiwork He did plenty of execu-
ton with both hands, and at close quar-
ters he weakened White was much dis
tressed in the nineteenth round, when
his second, Barry. gave in for him.
In the Sullivan-Curran bout the latter
maintained a good lead for the first
dozen rounds, but his exertions told
upon him during the remainder of the
fight. Toward the close Sullivan was
the aggressor. He won after a close con-
test.
Among the supporters of White pres
ent were Tod Sloan, the jockey, and
CAPTAIN Anson of baseball fame.

LUETGERT MURDER TRIAL.
Second Trial of the Sausage Maker
Begun at Chicago.

CHICAGO Nov. 29.-The second trial
of Adolph L. Luetgert for the murder
of his wife was called before Judge
Gary to-day. The sausage manufac-
turer was represented by ex-Judge
Lawrence Harmon and Attorney Riese,
Attorney Phalen having withdrawn
from the case yesterday, after a heated
interview with Luetgert and the new
lawyers.
The courtroom was packed with spec
tators when order was called. Most of
the session was taken up by Mr.. Har-
mon in arguing that Judge Gary should
not try Luetgert on the ground that
he was not qualified to sit as a criminal
Judge. Judge Gary overruled the mo-
ton Of the defense, intimating, how
ever, that he was willing that some
other Judge should sit in the case, pro-
vided counsel for the defense could
come to an agreement with the prose-
cution as to who should hear it.
Attorneys Harmon and Riese held a
consultation this afternoon with States
Attorney Deneen with the object of de-
Gliding upon some other Judge to try
the case.
When court reconvened at 2 p. m. the
that they had been unable to reach an
agreement as to a Judge to hear the
case in their consultation with States
Attorney Deneen. Attorney Harmon,
however, entered exceptions to Judge
Gary's overuling Of his motion.
Attorney Harmon then made mo-
ton for a continuance of four weeks,
stating that both he and Attorney Reise
were unprepared to go on and wished
to read the records of the former trial
This was overruled, after some discus
sion. The examination Of taiesmen was
then commenced.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
task of securing jury was started but
by the time the court adjourned sixteen
veniremen had been examined and two
jurors had been accepted by the State
although the defense has still the privi-
lege of rejecting them. The two men
are Thomas Bachelor, an insurance So
licitor, and Walter ]. Northam, a clerk
