Chicago Street Car Men Show In
creased Cost of Living.

Chicago Oct 9.-The cost of living has
been discussed before the arbitration COM
mittee Sitting the grievances of the en-
ployes of the Union Traction company.
Tables presented in behalf of the men
showed that the price of thirty-seven nee
essary articles had gone up, and fifteen
decreased, while the street car men have
worked at the same wage for sixteen
years.
The average advance in the cost of liv-
ing was given at 40 per cent in five years

Is to 65 per cent. House rents ran from
40 to 66 per cent while no estimate could
be placed on coal. The men urged that
this heavy increase in the cost of living.
and the advances made in other trades,
should be weighed when the question of
giving them a higher wage scale is taken
into consideration.

Compliments Prof. Lord.

The Kit Carson County Record
gives the teachers institute an ex-
tended write up and incidentally says
some good things for Prof Lord. The
following is An extract:
''The instructors, Prof. Lord and
Miss Emma B. Mitchell certainly de-
serve much praise and credit for the
very efficient manner in which they
30 successfully conducted the affairs
of the institute. Superintendent
Stott is to be highly commended for
securing the services of such splendid
coterie of lectureres and instructors,
and also for the able manner in which
he looked after and cared for those in
attendance. Nearly all of the teachers
departed for their respective homes
Friday evening. and many of them be-
fore leaving expressed themselves as
being heartily pleased with their visit
to Burlington.
The first lecture during the session
was delivered Friday evening August
/. by Prof. p. L. Lord, principal of
schools at Florence, Colorado on his
Trip to Hawaii" i'll which he simply
made his hearers feel as though they
had actually been there themselves
and enjoyed all of the beautiful and
interesting scenes one can witness on
visit to that country. His discrip-
tion Of life on board of an ocean liner
was very good, and that part of il
touching upon the delightful y sen.
sation a person experiences by having
genuine case of sea-sickness, not
only brought forth much laughter
but also vividly recalled to the writ
ers' mind a somewhat similar expert
.ence.

IT is DEMORALIZING.

This teachers examination pre-
scribed by the school board is not only
ridiculous proceeding but 1t is
demoralizing rs we'll. Some of the
very best teachers in the schools have
resigned rather than to submit to the
humiliation which the school board
proposed to impose upon them. AS
far AS the examination of the high
school faculty and the superintendent
is concerned it is not difficult to dis
cover the aminus back of that, if one
is acquainted with Senator Moore 's
and Prof. Kenyon's attitude toward
Superintendent Durfee. 1t is as plain
as day.
So far as the teacher i'll charge is
concerned Bernard is the right man.
1t is generally understood that he
does very efficient work and that he
is very able instructor but why the
examination should be given at all is
the question that just now the school
board is unable to explain.
