Teachers Institute.

During the early part of next
month will be held in Weiser, the
annual institute of Washington coun-
ty teachers and it is expected that
the county's full force of between
fifty and sixty teachers will be pres
ent.
The county institute is most i'm
portant factor in improving the eff
cheney of our schools. Its chief
benefits are not merely that it gives
the teacher better methods and
broadens the mental horizon but that
it gives higher ideals and greater in
splration for the noblest work a per
son may engage in-that of leading
out and developing the child's mind,
giving him high aims and noble pur-
poses.
The time is not far distant when
the certificate of attendance at in
stitute will be as important in secur'
ing position as teacher, as the GER
tificate of examination, for board
of trustees may easily judge between
the teacher who shows his desire tx
bring their school to the highes
standard by making himself more
proficient, and the one who consid
ers the means to proficiency an i'm
posed hardship. But it is crafty
ing to note that teachers in Idaho
are beginning to look upon institute
as a matter of course in their career
as they do in older states.
The time will mostly be devoted
to methods and catalogue of tn
proper names of Stepping Stones t.
Literature with diacritical marking
will be prepared by the instructor
for the teachers.

credit on pupils and teachers alike.

dialogues, etc., showed that they had

The songs were well rendered, the
rectations delivered with spirit, the
ESSAYS well written, and the tea party
scene from Dickens pleased the audi

were we'll received. The scene from
the session of the Continental con-
gress, depicting the discussion over
the signing Of the Declaration of ln-
dependence, rendered by the boys
of the seventh grade in costume, was
one of the features of the evening,
and elected much applause from the
audience. The drill "Looking Back

Rancher Asks Damages For Driving Sheep
That Near His Place

Evening Capital News.
An action of great Importance to
sheepmen was begun in Mountain
home Monday by Smiths prairie
rancher against L. L. Ormsby of
this city. The suit was brought
under what is known as the Emile
limit law, which prohibits the driving
of sheep within two miles of any
farm Damages to the amount Of
$500 are asked
The damages, it appears, did not
accrue to the plaintiff or his property
direct. He asks to be reimbursed
for grass eaten from the public do
main by the Ormsby sheep within
two miles of his place. 1t is under
stood the sheep passed within mile
and half of the rancher's place but
that there was q stream between
them and his farm they could not
possibly have crossed.
The case presents an interesting
point. II damages can be collected
