so many bangles on the arms and

anklets and rings on each toe. These
rich ornaments are very becoming. and
the women naturally think a great

allowed any ornaments at all. nor must
they wear colors.
The condition Of womeL with living
husbands is not much better. They
must never look upon the face OF any
other man. so that they are not al

homes, even among the rich, are not
pretty In the least. The small dingy

The ofhcials at the asylum profess to be

can be secured. An Official said that in

Better Teachers
In his forthcoming report Superintendent
OF Instruction Fowler has much to say in
regard TO the qualifications Of teachers
and teachers salaries. He states that the
time has com when boards OF education
in cities and villages should require Of
teachers employed that they be either
normal school. university or college grad
yates or holders of professional state GER
tihcates. Teachers with these qualihca-
lions, the report will say, can be secured
II they are paid salaries commensurate
with such training. AS an example Of this.
Mr.. Fowler refers to the large number
OF teachers who responded to the call for
teachers in the Philippines, Only 1000
were needed, but 5000 applied.
The report will say further that ell
teachers in the grades should possess at
least three years high school education
and one years normal school training.
The state superintendent recommends
that after September, 1907, no person be
allowed to teach in the rural schools who
does not possess as the minimum qualif-
cation a thorough knowledge OF the COM
mon branches, such as would admit to the
average school, and also one years drill
in a teachers training class.
Two object to Verdict.

rehearing on his application for a permit
to take water from the Platte river II

son OF the Board of Irrigation rendered
verdict for the Farmers Canal company
