The Teachers, Standard.

article referred to is Treatment
of the Teachers in Public
Schools, and is as follows:
"She must know more dc
more, be more, and suffer more
than any other breadwinner.
She must know everything in
heaven above, the earth beneath,
and the water rnder the earth.
She received no special credit for
knowing them, but woe be to her
if she knows them not
"She must teach the three RS
as in the olden times, but, mark
the additions.
"She must teach physiology
with all the skill of a physician,
but without his opportunity OF
hiding mistakes.
"She must teach civics with all
the learning OF lawyer, oul
without his library.
"She must teach virtue and
godliness, with all the zeal of the
minister, but without his Bible
or his sectarian bias.
"Under the title of Nature
Lessons she must teach the
clements of all science known to
man, but unlike her sister, in the
high schools, she must do it with
out a text book.
"She must teach music, draw
ing, penmanship and physical
culture with the ability of spec
ialist, but must give the super
visor all the credit for success at
tanned.
"She must give direct instr uct
ion in morals and manners or the
school will go to the demnition
bow vows.
"She must teach the effect of
alcohol and narcotics or the wom-
en- of the w. G. II. U. will have
conniption fits.
"She must spend from eight
or ten hours a day in the unwhole-
some atmosphere of a poorly ven
tilated schoolroom, and one or
two hours more in selecting ma
terial and copying it on the board,
to be again copied by children,
thus exhausting her vitality and
running the eyesight and pen
manship of her pupils to please
the fool fancy of some saphead
superintendent who thinks he is
carrying out an original scheme.
"She must govern wild and
wicked children even when par
ents fail. She must be as wise
as Solomon, patient as Job
strong and enduring as Caesar,
and tender as Maecenas. She
must be more even tempered
than the Almighty for the AL
mighty was "wroth with the
wicked" when He punished them,
but alas for the teacher who
loses her temper! She must be
a model of propriety in all things,
for are not the eyes of the whole
community upon her? She must
know the usage of the world and
of society, but must stand aloof
from both. She must have hui
millty, confidence, infinite tact,
perfect health, common sense in
abundance, a modicum of wit, a
world of wisdom, and little
wickedness. She must endure
the foul air, the nerve-racking
of the schoolroom. She must
submit to the thoughtless crit
icisms of the ignorant, the unjust
abuse of disappointed parents,
the Establishments of those who
would help their children by pat
ronizing attentions to the teacher,
and the domineering dictation OF
self-seeking politicians.
"She must spend hours upon
hours making reports, compiling
statistics, striking balances and
averages, and tabulating foolish
answers to silly questions with
the machine-like expertness of 9
trained accountant to make more
formidable and less readable the
superintendent's report, and i'm

County Institute.

The annual teachers institute
OF Fulton county, opened in the
Court House at McConnellsburg,
November 1S, 1901, at 1:30 p. M.
with 81 out of the 83 teachers pres
ent. After devotional exercises,
which were conducted by Prof.
G.. w. Ready, of Wells, E. E. Kell
of Dublin was elected vice pres
ident. After singing, conducted
by Prof. Gresh, the Library
Question" was taken up and dis.
cussed by B. G. Lamberson, B.
N. Palmer, Frank Henry, G. e.
Clouser, M. M. Horton and 9th
ers. The question was dropped
until some future time. Short
Introductory talks were given by
Drs. Eckels, Omwake, and Ly-
barger. In the evening an en-
tertainment was given by Ly-
barger which was greatly appre-
ciated.
TUESDAY FORENOON.
Devotional exercise by DR..
West. Question - Dicipline; (a)
What is it? (b) Where and,how
shown? (c) How secured and inn
proved? and value in school work,
and life work, was discussed by
G. b. Mellott, who showed by his
talk that if discipline was taken
out of a school that very little
would be left. the question was
also discussed by Miss Stella
Bard and S. R. Martin, who said
that in some cases it was harder
for the teacher to govern himself
than to govern the school. After
intermission, DR.. Omwake gave
talk on Mental Development of
Child. DR.. Eckels, of Shippens-
burg occupied the next period.
TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
After music by Prof. G, esh the
Library" question was again
taken up and discussed by Prof.
Ready, who named list of books
for library, and by G. E. Clous-
er, 3. N. Palmer and others.
During the discussion it was sug-
gested by number of teachers
that Supt. Chestnut would give a
list of books that he thinks would
be suitable for school library.
After intermission DR.. Lybarger
occupied the next period with an
interesting and instructive talk
on ''How to Teach. DR.. Lybar-
ger said, it would be better to
place no books, except picture
books, in the hands of children
until they were, at least, ten
years of age. Singing. DR.. Eek
els then gave talk on "Individ-
ualism."
WEDNESDAY FORENOON.
The session opened with devo-
tional exercises conducted by
Prof. Ready. Singing by Prof.
Gresh. Question-"Oral Spell
ing: How? How Much? To Whom?
and Value"-was taken up and
discussed by ]. p. Keefer, E. B.
Cline, Prof. Ready and others.
Mr.. Ready says the reason we
don't have the spoilers that we
once had is because we once
had nothing to study except the
"three r's;" but now we have too
many branches, to put much time
on spelling. Prof. Chestnut urg-
ed the eteachers to put great stress
on the teaching of spelling. The
teachers agreed that it was best
to have the greater part of tie
spelling oral. Mr.. Chandler now
gave a well directed talk on the
"School Library" After inter
mission DR.. Eckels gave a talk,
and was followed by DR.. Omwake.
Wednesday afternoon, found
large audience in the court room
and the addresses, while along
the same lines as the previous
session, were instructive.

Warm Food For Stock.
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do or die.

We once had a man, says a writer in
American Cultivator, who thought that
cold dinner when at work In the
woods In winter enabled him to do
more work In the afternoon than he
could have done II he had been pro-
vided with a warm dinner and hot
drinks; but he was a worker and exer-
cised himself at his work. Others have
thought differently, and we think that
the cows giving milk or the animal
that Is fattening would do much better
on warm food and drink In winter, be-
cause we do not wish to have them
take much exercise to warm up their
systems. But to give warm food and
warm water to animals and then make
them stand out In the cold until the
effects Of the heat they had gained
had all passed away leaves them worse
than before. Keep them in warm sta
bles and give warm food and warm
water, and they will scarcely realize
that It Is not summer when they are
In the barn. The horses and oxen that
are obliged to be out eight or ten hours
each day are but little benefited by
warming their food and water, unless
1t is at night, after the days work
is over. The warmth Is a stimulant,
and they are not Of much use when
one has to continue exposure to cold.
When the reaction takes place, 1t less
ems the ability to resist cold as much
as It has <n creased It when first given.

Gnnd utiIitr Cattle

In comparison with their rivals, the
Jerseys, it is somewhat remarkable
that Guernseys have not become more
popular, both for profit and for fancy,
especially as their claims In these re-
spects are so well founded. Being gen.

white markings, having a yellow skin
and gentle expression, their general ap-

claims are undoubted, the COWS Yield

milk, from which butter Of the very
best color and quality is obtained. This
excellence is much in their favor and
Is very often taken advantage Of by
those who keep cows Of other breeds
for the production of milk and butter
and find 1t necessary and beneficial to
have COW or two in the herd in order
to add TO the richness Of the milk and
the quality and appearance of the but
ter.

DRUNKENNESS IN RUSSIA.
New Laws In Cars Domain Al
Garara

New Laws In Cars Domain Are
Very Severe.
The new Russian laws against drunk
enness are very severe. All persons
found intoxicated in streets and public
places are sentenced to terms of i'm
prisonment varying from three days to
two weeks. A repetition of the Ofense
is punishable with three months i'm
prisonment. 1t is said that the effect Of
this law, which has just become opera
tive, will be, If rigidly applied, to throw
10 per cent of the population into jail.

receipts to $1,175,0OO,O0O. The retail
sale of liquor is restricted to places
where food is also furnished. The Rus
sian peasant classes drink vodki, liq-
uor distilled from rye, which Is sold at
the average price Of S1.45 per gallon.
It is worth noting In connection with
the new Russian laws that an English

should henceforth be considered an Of
tense against the law.

New Crop Rotation.

A studlous reader Of The National
StOckman and Farmer proposes to use
the following crop rotation on his stock
farm: Corn, cowpeas, wheat and clo-
yer. He wants feed for sheep and
hogs and horses. His experience leads
him to believe that the peas will pro-
vide rich hay. and If the weather pre-
vents the making Of big acreage Of
them the hogs will be used to harvest
part of them. Probably part of them
would be used for pasturage anyway.
BE counts upon good wheat and clover
after the peas. The corn stubble will
be seeded to rye, to be turned under
for peas. No ground viii be left bare.
Three years out Of four each field will
be producing feed. and In two Of these
three years the soil should be gaining
in fertility. The fourth year produces
a cash crop-wheat. With peas, clover
and manure the farm should grow rich
er while bringing income.

GAN you GUESS.
Here's a Chance to Make
Ten Dollars Easy.
All You Have to Do Is to Pick the
Winners In the Coming
Primary.

Just for the interest attached to
a guessing contest and to put lit
tie more interest into the coming
campaign for County officers, THE
News Will give its readers a chance
to make ten dollars and have "a
little fun at guessing on the side.
To the person making the first
nearest correct guess of the win
ners in the Democratic Primary
Election which will be held in this
county on Saturday, June LIST, 1901,
THE News will present a ten dollar
gold piece. The conditions of the
contest are simple. Old subrcrib-
ers and new subscribers who pay
81 on their subscriptions will each
be entitled to a guess, and to as
many guesses as they pay years
subscription. If no one guesses
correctly, the first one who guesses
the closest to all the winners will
receive the ten dollars.
You intend to pay your sub
scription anyway, and you may as
well pay before the first day of
June and have chance of getting
your money back, besides gaining
the distinction of knowing more
about the political situation than
your neighbors.
Each guess will be registered
when received as to the exact dav,
hour and minute. No one will be
permitted to see how any one else
has guessed. In guessing only
the offices on the ballot are to be
considered.

Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do or die.
Today the farmer is seeking to know
why one method produces better re-
suits than another under certain condi-
tons and fails to do so under other
conditions. Not only are they trying to
profit by the experiments made at the
stations, but by the experience Of 9TH
ers who have been successful, and they
feel that the results others have reach
ed are of but little use unless they learn
how they were brought about This is
the most encouraging indication of fu-
ture prosperity for agriculture. 1t is
this which is gradually If slowly In
creasing the average production Of
farm crops and farm stock toward the
maximum attained by the best among
them. This increased productiveness 1t
is that gives us reason to hope despite
the predictions of a few croakers that
the time is far distant when the United
States or the world at large win not be
able to supply the necessities of the rap
Idly increasing population. We feel no
fear that this time viii come to this
country during the lifetime of many
now living, for we believe the farmers
are gaining knowledge Of the needs Of
their soil, their crops and animals
much faster than the number of those
dependent on them for food is increas-

The farmer who owns 100 acres Of

Kansas will, In all probability, refuse
TO give up the banner which was won by
the Duttermakers of Minnesota at the
recent national convention here. Local
buttermakers have written and wired for
IL half dozen times, but the knights of
the churn IN the Sunfiower state are Silent
as sphlnXes. They are probably Of the
OPINION, according to buttermakars in ST.
Iaui' that there was some fancy mathe-
matlcal Juggling at the recent revision
or the scores, and they want the Kan
saS legislature to make use of the glass
case Tor which an appropriation was
made at the time the banner was pre-
sehted TO the State Agricultural society
1t would really be too bad, thew think

OF the state and other officials and mem
oers OF the legislature had made speaches
ABOUT the recent triumph of Kansas, and
THESE had been published broadcHt.
>. ). Moody, of the Minnesota Butter
ana Cheese company, has received a LET
ter from E. Sadendorf, secretary of the
National Butternakers association. to
the effect that If Kansas does not return
the banner another one will be made for
minnesota. The secretary does not saw
that Kansas will refuse to give if nm
put his letter is significant. the idea of
haVlns< another banner made for this
state does not appeal to local buttermak-
els. LII they won it they are entitled 70
1t, according to their way of thinking
and there should be no division of nom
ors just because a mathematical error
was made.
Secretary Sudendorf's letter was writ
ten some days ago. He has been in Yer
mont, but he will return to Elgin. Ill
today. and Mr.. Moody expects a telegram
from him concerning the matter.
