tees, and that the school trustees
be ask ed to make some provision
to aid and assist the teachers in
their county to attend the said
Institutes"
This action Of the State board
is based upon the fact that. how.
ever great the personal benefits
resulting 10 the teacher from self
improvement, the greatest bene-
fits will accrue to the school chill
dren. If, therefore, the teacher
will give four weeks to profession
al training in order TO become
better fitted for successful teach
iug-in order to render better
service to the school, the trustees
should be willing to encourage a
faithful servant by increasing the
salary at least to the amount Of
the cost t. the teacher Of board
and lodging while attending the
professional school. They should
recognize the fact that "A teachers
diligent and faithful work is of
valu" TO the school and that the
school should not allow all Of the
burden to fall upon the devoted
teacher. In most Of the counties
the cost Of board and lodging for
the four weeks would not exceed
eight or ten dollars This Is
sma sum to be pad by the school
as An additional salary for the
entire school session in consider
alton of the better service that
the teacher Will render to the
ch idren Yet, small as the sum
is, it falls heavily u oon the teach
er that receives no more than $25
or $50 a month and is employed
Tor only few months III the
year. Inc pltltul sam of $40 d
month lo ali that Is paid to some
teachers, VINO are yet expected to
possess such an education and to
teach with such paIustaklng de-
votIon as TO give TO their pupils
the mental training that VIII lit
them Tor the duties Of lie, prl
vate and public. If the trustees
really want better educational
advantages for the children, If
they have any appreciation of the
need OF better teacher, they
cannot doubt that eight or ten
dollars paid extra TO secure this
boon will be the wiSest eXpehdi
ture that could be made even
though the school term should III
consequence be shortened
TRUSTEES SHOULD ACT QUICKLY.
If teacher has been engaged
Tor the approaching school session
the trustees should at once ADOPT
resolution to pay the school
teachers expenses at the county
summer school. If teacher has
not yet been engaged,th shou d
be no further delay in making
the final arrangements. Many
teachers are resolved to attend a
summer school and press forward
to higher place in their profes
sion, cost what it msy. Yet many
are still in doubt as to where
they will teach the next session.
This is hardihip. 1t would evi.

No teacher with professional spir.

The genuine native dancing girls per-

the Arabian quarter. These places ore
usually small and, about 80 men squat

make full house.
Here the Arabs come to smoke and
drink coffee and hear the music, while
in the center of the cafe the dancing
girls perform The places are filed with
the smoke of the nargile and ciga-
rettes, and the dreamy natives who
lounge along the walls puff everlasting
ly on, barely noticing the girls who are
weaving and swaying in the sinuous
undulations of the dance to the time of
q groggy1tomtom and the mellow drone
of a reed whistle The dance is about
the same as the one seen at the World S
fair in Chicago, Invested Of most of its
offensive trimmings. There it was de-
signed torstartle and shock and come up
to western notions of oriental depravity,
while here on its native heath it is sim
ply dance that is as old as the coun-
try itself. and to those who have been
accustomed to it through generations Of
familiarity it is probably as tame as the
quadrille 1t is only the dance prepared
for the tourist that disgusts you and
makes you think that the orient should
be raided. Chicago Record
