GOOD ROADS

Now that the good roads movement
has received an impetus here, the burden
should not be thrown ON u few of the
businessmen who have had to bear the
brunt OF all expense connected with pro-
gressive movements in the city. Every
one is interested in good roads and if
they are secured the advantage will not
be for the few who have shown public
spirit III the past. There are many here
who are quick to approve but very slow
TO assist. If this movement is to be sue
cessful the expense connected with it
should be borne by all not that q few
should do everything and all reap the
profit. There should be distribution of
the burdens as well as claim for the
proceeds if any accrue.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

The institute being conducted in the
First Ward High School under the lead
ership of Profs Sage, Sell and Pollock Is
something of an innovation i'll the insti-
tute line. 1t is a little out of the ordin-
airy in that new policy has been placed
in operation in the conducting of insti-
tutes throughout the state, the object
being to bring the teachers into closer
touch with the state educational officers
and institute conductors and SO secure a
closer unity than WAS formerly possible.
To attain this end the members of the
institute have been divided into two sec
lions and regularly organized classes are
the program given below. The choice of
subjects is optional though the number
is limited to four. Outside preparation
of at least one hour is required for each
subject and regular recitations are held
text books used, and approximate stand
ings given ut the close of the institute
The institute is a summer school III its
most rigid sense, its strong point being
its professional side The idea is one Of
State Supt Harvey's, his object being to
have teachers secured on their merits
The institute conductors have been vest
ed with stronger powers than they form
erly possessed. Teachers tardy or alb
sent must report and offer excuses. The
conductors have the authority to dismiss
from the institute any teacher who has
three unexcused absences against him.
There was small attendance ut the
opening session on Monday morning.
Many OF the teachers arrived late rs they
lived at some distance from the city. On
this account Prof. Sage did not open the
session until after 10 o'clock. He stated
that in his ten years experience as an
institute conductor he has never been
compelled to begin later than nine except
on two or three occasions, that Monday
morning being the first in the past two
years.
The institute promises to be very sue
cessful, both teachers and conductors
being there for business, which cooper
alton insures success
The session opened Monday with a
short talk by Supt. Christensen which
was followed by song, after which
Prof Sage described the new departures
in institute work, The members were
then enrolled, classes organized and
regular recitations We're begun The
following is the program on which the
institute is conducted

manifesto decreeing that the Beers
should be treated as a conquered race
and their arms confscated. British
troops attempted to enforce the decree,
and for nearly a month they lay be-
sieged by the Boer farmers at the city
of Durham. During this time large
numbers of the English were killed in
the constant fighting between the two
parties. The long fight would have GER

There is no event in the military his

But you are not all disillusioned By
Capt. Pabst's bulky purchase. You
start out impressed by the scintillating
price he paid for it, and the fact that it
is really the most costly volume in the
world, at least without age to back it;
you stumble at the first egotistic biog-
raphy, and then fall down over a blot
ted platitude above an ideal signature;
then you find Church's little sketch Of
fair woman and tawny lion, or the
girl Gibson drew on purpose for it, or
the bit of sword motif notated by De
Reszka, and life gets presentable again.
To go back just for minute TO its
reason for being: The sum paid for it
by Capt. Pabst completes fund of $780,
900, which Mrs. Lydia Ely. of Milwau-
kee, raised alone for the soldiers monu
ment. The bronze, completed in Rome
last June by John Seyerino Conway, to
whom the work was intrusted, was
unveiled in June, and is one of the fin
est monuments in the United States
commemorative of the soldiers of the
civil war. The raising of the amount
for its purchase by Mrs. Ely was prob

ably bigger task than was ever ac-
eomplished by any woman, single-hand-
ed. for patriotic purpose, Spartan la
dies with shields and long hair not ex-
cepted. She did it in three years in
more ways than columns could enumer-
ate, from bazars infinite in size, to raf-
fes, and Pollock school solicitings; and
she exhibited more ability and energy
thereby than most other S3o, Goo S in the
world can point TO for ancestry. And
the crown and climax was the book.
Capt. Pabst was already identified
with army interests since the day
marked by white powders TO Milwau-
kee G.. A. r. men, when for one of their
national encampments he bought the
grandstand seats en- bloc, for $4,000,
and gave them back. His magnanim-
ity in purchasing the book was there

began TO be talked about, and now it is
his.
The autograph book Is thing apart.

We're it not for these the entire world
would stand aghast at the hardihood of
.he little republic. But because of these
previous victories, large only in results,
the world expects to see bloody war
waged before the project of Cecil
Rhodes, ''all South Africa British is
realized.
Itwas in 1889 that the English learned
one of their first severe lessons at the
hands of the Beers, and while the fight
so long waged finally resulted in defeat
for the Dutch farmers it was dearly
bought victory for the English troops.
1t occurred at Durham, in Natal, to
which place colony of Beers had immi-
grated from Cape Colony when English
rule in that colony became too oppres-
sive to bear longer. Natal was at that
time still in the hands of the native Zu-
Jus. The Boer leader had been cruelty
massaered by the crafty natives while
attempting to purchase right to settle
in the land. This led to war between
the Beers and the natives, and the ma
tives were finally driven out of the land.
When this had been accomplished Eng
land claimed the land and published a

time the colonists felt the need of
stronger hand to protect them from the
onslaughts of the natives, and had
asked for English protection, which
was given for a time and then with
drawn. In 1877 Sir Theophilus Shep-
stone raised the British flag at Pretoria,
and formally annexed the republic TO
England. There was no physical oppo-
sition made to such a course at the time,
and probably none would ever have
been made had not the English govern
ment sent Sir Owen Lanyon to the
Transvaal as administrator, and his re-
peated prosecutions of the Dutch colo
nists led to war, war that culmi-
mated at Majuba hill and resulted in in
dependence again for the republic.
In this war the English received their
first taste of Boer craftsmanship at
Laing's Mex. Here Commandant Gen.
eral Joubert met Sir George Cooley and
a force Of 1.5oo English troops on jan
uary 2s, 1881. When Cooley attempted
to force the pass the Beers repulsed
them, infiicting heavy loss. Eleven
days later another English force of 300
men were almost annihilated near the

pidiest; with bits of uncommon1y con-
ceited biography, and tremendously
trite echoes, and exceedingly clever
saws. 1t is an edition de luxe such as no
printers establishment in the world,
from KeImscott down, could put out,
and Dewey and the De Reszkes. Charles
Dana Gibson and Kipling. and Clara
Barton, have touched the leaves, and
said their say within.
Upon the slips is some of the worst
handwriting, some of the most astonish-
ing scrawls, and some of the neatest
chirography one ever saw. Only pretty
writing, you notice, is ever called
chirography, and then only when you
are either fond or tolerant of the writer.
When you have worshiped water-color
woman or revered a supreme-court
judge all your life, it gives you blank
feeling to see blot or a soily thumb
mark below his handmade name. II is
like finding the Bengal tigress you were
dreaming about, only the cat on the
bed.
