Funeral services were conducted

married something over a year and
leaves a widow and baby.
While young Crouch is held blame
less under the law, for the taking of
this life, still he is to be censured for
the careless handling of thegun. This

We give this week the complete en-
rollment Of the institute just closed.
This has been the largest institute
ever held in the county except the
one held by Mr.. CrUnk here when he
was Superintendent. There have been
quite number of our high school pu-
pills in attendance, but count them
out and you have larger number of
actual and prospective teachers en-
rolled than are usual and more than
the total enrolment last year. On
account of the large enrolment and
the careful financial management Of
Supt. Sailors, it will not be necessary
to call on the county for assistance in
bearing the expenses of the normal as
has sometimes been necessary hereto
fore.
The work done and the interest
manifested at this normal will COM
pare most favorably with that of any
other ever held in the county. There
never has been a normal in the county
where the grade of scholarship and
culture would range as high asat this
1t shows that the standard for teac
hers is being raised in the county.
Prof. Bowen showed himself to be a
talented conductor and skillful teach
er. Prof. Elliott won laurels for him
self and attracted attention to the
Chanute College by his most excellent
and exhaustive manner of conducting
his classes. OF course Miss Ellis
work could not be beat. Miss Corinne
cone furnished the musical instruction
in most creditable and satisfactory
manner as sue always does her part in
everything.
There can be no question but the
teachers leave this normal stronger
and better equipped for their work
than they came, and there is no doubt |
but the enthusiasm inbibed and hints |
thrown out by the instructors will |
cause many teacher to pursue a
course of reading and study tins sum-
mer that he otherwise would not have |
done and the schools next year will be
greatly benefited.

CIVIL SERVICE CRITICS

THE action of President McKin-
ley in taking few offices Of
the government out of the classified
list has been rather harshly CRITICS
ed by some of the opposition papers.
Personally we believe the whole
thing Of classification, position and
promotion on competitive examlna-
ton to be more of farce than a
necessity.
We believe in nine cases out of
ten better service would be render
ed by the subordinate if he were
responsible to the head of the de
partment for his appointment ana
retention. But since all parties
seem determined to ride the hobby
of civil service reform to the death,
we presume we will have to &C
qulesce.
The American Economist of June
20, gave an extended interview with
ex-Sect. Bliss, taken from the New
York "Mail & Express" on the sub
ject of the recent action of the Pres
ident in exempting certain offices
from the classified list. Mr.. Bliss
shows conclusively that practically
all the changes made were made
with the consent and sanction of
the civil service commission, and
without question, for the good of
the service.
President Cleveland iii the last
hours of his official life saw fit to
throw the lines of civil service pro-
lection around good many Offices
that were filled by good democrats
in an effort, as it seemed to many,
to perpetuate the tenure of office of
those of his political faith. The
years that have followed have de
monstrated beyond a doubt that
these lines were too broad. Even
reform may sometimes need reform
ing as Mr.. Bliss conclusively shows
was the case in this civil service
matter and that the President did
no violence to civil service rules but
simply strengthened and rendered
more efficient the service TO the
government.
