To Teachers and All interested.

soon as this reaches many OF you the
grading on examination paper will be
done, the certificates and those not
certificates will have been issued
Some Will be disappointed Others will
receive more than they expect. This
is always true of any examination.
Some fifty teachers in all will be
needed to supply the schools, and l
hope that each will fall into the niche
best suited to him.
If the work of the past month was
not useful to you it was no fault of
the instructors, we feel that all or
nearly all at least were satisfied in
that. All of those who came, came
for work and | am sure you tried to
improve the time. There is but one
regret-on my part, and that is that
the numbers should not be so
great as in times past, and in order to
satisfy myself / have spent some time
looking up matters.
Up to 1898 the enrolment was var
led. but in all cases but one business
men were enrolled to make up the so
required by law. In 1890 it was just
So
Then it began to grow. In 1898 it
was 50. The banner year being 1896.
Since then a decline in numbers an
nually. Now a peculiar fact noted
along with this may also be consider
ed. In the early '9O's our population
was large-2SOO in the county. 1t be-
gan to go down and as it went down
the Normal enrolment went up, and
was the very largest in the year of
our very smallest population-2l00
When the up turn came the Normal
took the other course, and strange to
say in this year the population being
just about as in 1893 so is the enroll
ment the same.
A logical conclusion being that
prosperous times take many out of
work. Poor crops sends them back to
the school room. So we went further,
and taking last years teachers-48-
we find that % of that number aad
possibly % are not in the school rooms
of Trego. Some have gone to school,
some to better pastures, ana some
prefer the farm. No year in our his
tory has made such a change. Had
bietO - oCOd III Noi ~ IlIC
chances are that the majority Of
them would have showed up at the
Normal. All but six of those engaged
for the winter were enrolled, and one
of those was sick, two of the others
could not possibly come.
| Eleven of those who taught our last
years schools were not enrolled in
the Normal.
AS the years go by we may expect
the average enrolment to approach
close but exceed slightly the number
of teachers required and may also ex-
pect nearly all who teach to add that
much professional work to their at
tainment. One thing more may be
expected, and that is that the cost of
attending will come back to the
teacher in addition to his salary of
not less than s5-per month for those
who keep in touch with Institute
work, association and Reading Cir
Giles. If not by law then by common
consent. Trusting that you will not
| forget the association meeting of Sat
urday, October 18th, and watch the
papers for the program that you will
all be there.

Riverside workman Hurt.

w. S. Carelton, an employee of. the
Riverside tube works, was very pain
fully injured in an accident while he
was engaged in his work yesterday
morning about o'clock. Mr.. Carleton
was struck by heavy piece of metal
and had his back and hips badly in
jured. He was carried by his fellow
workmen to the Emergency Hospital,
where he received the necessary med
ieal aid. Later in the day the unfor-
tunate man was taken to his home at
GAINESVILLE. o. Mr. Carleton came
here from the latter city some time ago
and has since been boarding at the
home of a friend. 1t is estimated that
the piece of metal which struck the
workman weighed about one hundred
pounds 1t is considered that he had
quite narrow escape from more seri-
Gus injuries.

A last desultory volley in the slot
machine war was fired in the Police
Court yesterday morning during the
hearing of John Lewis, who conducts
d SdiOOH III Ou ltlt
charge of promoting game of chance.
Lewis was arrested by Lieutenant
Renkert and Sergeant Hess two days
after the order for the Punishment of
the nickel slot machines had been is
sued by Chief Deitsch. Lewis was
represented by Attorneys Cogan and
Franks. Lieutenant Renkart testi-
fed that he had entered the saloon in
citizens clothes and played the ma
chine. Lewis approached him under
the impression that it was Detective
Jackson who was playing and advised
him not to play it, saying that he
could take the machine with him. The
officer replied that he would take the
saloon keeper with the machine, and
he did so. Lewis said that he was
not informed by the police of the new
order, and that the first intimation
that he had of it was through reading
the Enquirer He testified that the
machine had been out of order for a
year, and he only had it on the bar
as an ornament. and further that he
cautioned customers not to play It.
Renkert. on the other hand. said that
the machine had paid him 10 cents on
the play Prosecutor Lueders had for
mulated a well grounded case against
Lewis. and the efforts of the Eaters
attorneys TO show that the machine
was only a necessary and harmless
piece of furniture was ingenious.
In giving his decision Judge Schwab
stated that he had once before ruled
that the slot machine was a gaming
device pure and simple, and, in fact,
was a petit larceny machine, which. il
played long enough. would develop into
a grand larceny continuance. He gave
Lewis $50 and costs, which he remit
ted, with the advice that III the saloon
keeper put another machine in the
house the fine would be assessed.
