Noble-completed the preparation OF the
course of study prescribed for teacherS
in the common schools. 1t will not be
given TO the public until the proofs are
prepared by the Public Printer and re-
yised. In the introduction it is declared
that it is the purpose of the State Boar,
of Examiners to help especially those
teachers who are willing to help them
selves. Under the various subjects vii!
be found helpful suggestions, not only
upon the work in the school room. bat
also suggestions on private study for
the teachers. 5iia
w feel sure continues the intro
duction, THAT there are many honest,
conscientious teachers, who are not sat
iSfied with their present qualifications
for their work, but are not sure just
what to DO or what course to pursue
in order to make progress and to bet
ter themselves for the school room ana
its duties.
Owing to the multiplicity of book al
this time, the average public school

best for him, when he needs a boob Oh
any special subject. The State Board OF
Examiners has suggested under each
subject books that are among the best.
1t is not expected that the average
teacher will purchase all of these books
on any one subject. If only II can be
purchased. we think the first one am
under given subject he selected.
I'VE WOnld like pSuPciaUy to imDrcSS
upon the teachers the Importance OF
making, if necessary, 4 sacrifice in order

You should study the history and SCI
ence of education. You should become
acquainted with ONE of the master
minds in the teaching profession. Oul
successful lawyers study law. Our sue
cessfnl physicians study medicine. Oul
and no less true is it that our successful
teachers should study teaching.
Let any teacher throw aside this
book, with the idea that it may do SOM
good ~toteacherS who arc in the schoo
room for eight or ten months in the year
year. but for Il teacher of three or fOul
months it will he Of no service. The sub
jects We're especially prepared with thi>
in mind.
We send this pamphlet out trusting
that it may be helpful to many of oul
teachers, hat it may be The means OF
infusing life and inspiration in The
hearts Of some who may have become
weary, discouraged and disheartened."

AN ANATOMICAL CURIOSITY.
Puzzled Physicians Find Utah Soldiers Heart
on the Right Side,

The physicians ran across an ana
tomical curiosity today in the person
of William Nehemiah Cullop. an APP
plicant for enlistment in the artillery
branch Of the volunteer service. Cullop
was twenty-one years of age. hale,
hearty and strong. His pulse beat
regularly and his health was good. But
the doctors We're unable to find his
heart. The young man was closely
questioned. and again examined, but he
actually seemed to be without a heart.
The physicians were sorely perplexed
|. Finally relief came to them when the
missing organ was located in the right
side. In that place 1t was doing its
full duty, and Its owner was passed as
sound" whereupOn he signed the rolls
and declared himself ready to go to the
front.
1t is singular fact that Cullop
never knew that the most vital organ
OF his body was out of place. He
served three years as an infantryman
In the English army and before enter
ing the service underwent very rigid
physical examination. He thinks 1t
likely that the British doctors were
aware of his condition but failed to re-
port the fact to him.

Miss Francis of Yale,a clever comedy.

the company had not received much

POLICE AND FIRE FORCE CHANGES.
Former Department win Bounce Nine Men

AS has been anticipated for several
months, some important changes in
the personnel of the police and fire de-
pnrtments are TO be made. Whatever
doubts may have existed on that score
heretofore We're set at rest last night
when the Council committee having
jurisdiction in such cases met in secret
session and discussed with Chiefs

nine men from the service of the police

partment. The men who are required
to. walk the plank are Duty Ser
geants Rhodes and Wire, Desk Ser
geant Smith, Detective Raleigh and
Officers Everill, Busby, Carey, Heath

derstood, are to be filled by Joe Bar

SHOW GOOD TARGET PRACTICE.
Men with the Flying squadron Finding
Out How They Can shoot.

On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, OF
Fort Monroe, May 3.-The interest ana
enthusiasm over the victory of Com
modore Dewey in the Philippines con-
tlnued this morning In the fleet. but
there was anxiety TO know something
of the American losses. 1t was source
OF congratulation based upon the
meager details received, that the
American gunners had proved their
superiority and 1t is confidently ex-
pected they will win every naval battle
of the war. 1t may have been be-
cause of this REORGANIZATION that
the ships of the squadron at gun prac-
tlce today showed phenomenal skill in
hitting the small bobblng targets. The
l3-inch guns OF the Massachusetts, and
the l2-inch guns of the Texas
swung around at all sorts of remarka-
BILE angles and placed shot In and all
around their targets, while the smaller
guns did squally good work. The eight
inch guns of the Brooklyn proved verlt-
able destrOyers as the turrets swung
quickly to given points and the five
inch rapid fire and six Founders put
shot in the small target. a noteworthy
feature of the shooting was that every
man at the guns acted as sighting gun
ner and this In no way deteriorated
from the splendid craftsmanship. The
revenue cutter Manning, recently con-
verified, passed out this morning on her
way to Key West.
The gunboat Bancroft, II was an
nounced yesterday, had gone TO the

Fleet Ready to Cooperate with the Army

Bombs Used at Manila.

Washington, d. c.. April D.
A most emphatic denial Is given by
the navy department to published
statements that the navy department
has declined to spare couple OF naval
vessels to convey the transports which
will carry the troops from Florida to
the Cuban port selected as the place for
beginning the offensive campaign.
on the contrary, 1t Is said that the
navy has done its full share 80 FAR as

ever 1t is called upon to do as coon as
the military authrities notify the navy

tent to which the navy Is expected TO
cooperate.

tlon of the delay in sending out the du-
vance military expedition TX to be found
i'll the letter Of Gen. Miles, read IN the

of the war department to pay the ntccs-
sary expense of the expedition. In the
expectation that Congress VIII relieve
the situation by promptly passing the
necessary appropriation, the war DC

None of the stories coming from
Spanish sources as to the battle Of
Manila appears quite 80 ridiculous to
naval eyes as the solemn statement
that Commodore Dewey fired Manila
and the Spanish ships by the use OF
petroleum bombs. As a matter of fact.
there Is no such weapon OF warfare In
the American navy. The ordinary SER
vice shell is very much more destruc-
tive and quite as capable Of causing
Il fire among combustlble material as
any contrivance based upon the use OF
petroleum.
This is plainly shown by the destruc-
ton of ships through fires caused by
