KEEPING TAB ON y. y.
< THE ARKANSAS RIVER.

There Is more water In the Arkansas
river this winter than there has been for
two winters past, according to Alexan.
der Alter, who lives just south of the
river near the bridge. Just at present
MIR, Alter makes two measurements Of
the water in the river each day, the first
at o o'clock in the morning and the other
at q O'Clock in the afternoon. He was
employed in November by the govern.
ment to do this. A guage was put In
near the north end Of the bridge and the
measurments have been kept up ever
since. What the purpose Is Mr.. Alter
does not know. Two men from Colora.
do took measurments Of the water in the
river during the spring rise and returned
areport of 10 feet. That measurement
was probably taken on account of the suit
pending against Colorado for robbing
the Arkansas river. Whether OF not the
present measIlrments arc to have any
bearing on the case Mr.. Alter does not
know. He has been furnished blanks
from the Geological survey department
and the record is sent IN to Russell, Kas.,
by Mr.. Alter once a week. The first
measurement was made on November 2S,
and the depth of tue water at that time
was ] foot and 6 inches. Since then 1t
has varied slightly, reaching 2 feet on
January 5, where 1t isat the epresent time.

LOCAL TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

Proceedings of an Interesting Session Held
Last Saturday.
A local teachers institute was held
in Oakland on Saturday last.
The institute was called to order at
10 o'clock a. IN. by Prof. A. w. De-
Witt, principal of the Oakland school.
Prayer, by Rev. W. H. Miller.
Song, by institute, America"
Address of welcome, by Rev. Miller.
Response, by Prof E. A. Browning.
Vocal solo, ASLEEP in the Deep"
by Miss Orpha Ashby.
| The topic of "Thoroughness'' was
then introduced by Prof. Loraditch,
| who handled the subject as if ac-
quainted with the need of thorough
ness in everything and everywhere
Miss Durham followed She read an
excellent paper on the subject. Ow-
ing to the inability of one of the teach
ers (who was also to speak on the
subject) to talk, the subject was
then thrown open for discussion.
| Prof. Browning talked on The subject
and urged those present to be thor
ough in all their work. He said in
part: Though a child may be able to
recite the lessons Uerbdtim it is no
proof that he is thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the facts contained therein"
He cited Lincoln as one of the most
thorough men he had read of, when
he borrowed the volume from friend
and by the light of pine knot stuck
into the side of the replace he read
and remembered every word printed
there. After having listened to so
eloquent response the institute adj
journed to meet at 1.30 p. IN.
The afternoon session opened with
singing Maryland, my Maryland"
Rev. Miller was again introduced
and spoke on the subject of The
Public School as a Character Builder"
The character building of which he
spoke so strongly was that of man
hood. He said that the public school
is the best place for boy or girl to
learn how to govern themselves and
that if the teachers would hold up an
honest deed or piece of honest work
they will be quick to note the differ
ence between the false and the true.
His illustrations were based on the
dying command OF King David to his
son Solomon: "Show thyself q man. -
During his remarks he said that never
in the history of the world could a
man dominate as now. He spoke of
Morgan, of Rockefeller, of Carnegie
and of Roosevelt as dominating in
their respective spheres and individ-
ual work. His talk occupid quite a
period but everyone present enjoyed
it and got some good from it.
Then the institute was treated to
another vocal solo, this time by Miss
Grace Falkenstein, Beyond the Gates
of Paradise
The subject of "Composition' was
then introduced by Prof. Browning
who handled it very ably.
The subject of Longitude and Time
was introduced by Prof J. S. Gnegy
,, This difficult subject was well pre-.
sented and from an original idea il
, was made shorter and more simple
than the old roundabout way that
all must solve the problems by.
, Prof. Browning then made some
g important announcements, among
| which was the pleasant thought thai
, school would close on the 27th inst
., and too that for the next annua
E Teachers Institute splendid pro
gram is in contemplation.
Quite number of teachers were
. present despite the inclemency of the
weather.
