voitional. The teacher may be without
any one of these in specific instances but
the more of them he possesses the more
successful will he be. Under the physical
comes health enabling reg
ularity in attendance and the conduct Of
the lesson with physical vitality; com
presence which solicits respect,
inspires confidence and lends might to the
statement of moral truth; speaking eye,
one which seems to have soul in it;
low. firm and gentle voice and neatness
OF appearance, lack OF which SHOWS
that one has not self respect.
Among the intellectual qualifications are
common sense; more than the average in
teligence, quickness of the mind and
readiness in the communication of truth;
good, happy and incisive English and
idealism. The emotional qualifications are
those which give richness and romance
to life, without which one is like the

They include cheer and good humor, one
must have q sense of humor to give
cffervesencc to his work; sympathy, the
bond that unites the hearts of men; un-

work lies chiefly in the fact that it is
done entirely without compensation;
honor; enthusasm courtesy, the power
of courtesy is often underestimated The
true gentleman is the man who treats
others as ideal persons.
The tolitional qualifications are cXccu-

in dealing with pupils and willingness to

GROWTH AND POWER OF AMERICAN
CITIEs.-Chicago illustrates what
hundred years of enterprise will de-
velop. The great fire of 1871. was not
a disaster in final results, but rather q
benefit, for it enabled the city to cor
rect mistakes and freed the area from
many Objectionable features that stood
in the way of progress. In 1903, Chi
cago consisted of four trading huts
and Fort Dearborn. In 1886, it had
$50 people; in the centennial year OF
existence Chicago had 1921 600 PEG.
pie. The first steamboat was launched
at Chicago in 1884, its first meat pack
cry built in 1915, its first locomotive
appeared in 1S4S. Chicago is now the
second manufacturing center of the
country-being exceeded only by New
York-but is in the lead in foundry
and machine shop products, and is the
worlds champion in shipment of grain
and in meat packing. Chicago consti-
tutes the second in the chain of big
cities which control continents
trade. That Seattle will be the third
of the links that will enable our coun-
try to control the commerce OF the
world, is the great possibilities of the
near future.

THE BIG FERRIS WHEEL GOES TO
ST. LoUIs.-The FIRST and largest Fer.

beeh rescued from the junk pile, and
will be taken to st. Louis for service
during that great exhibit. It will, of
course, possess an additional interest
from the fact that it has already eeen

will cost 500, 900, and that amount is

ANOTHER SCHOOL OF DIET.-It
seems that Prof. Wiley's expert ments
in tho Department of Agriculture. to
ascertain the effect of food adulterants
on the human system, has suggested
q modification of the scheme at Yale
college, to determine the exact amount
of food the body and brain requires to
sustain life at its best and develop the
mental vigor to its maximum strength.
The experiments will be made on a
special detail OF twenty-three men
from the army, who will eat and
drink under direction of Prof. Henry
Chrittenden, PHI. D., with a view OF
ascertaining what will build up manly
strength, rather than TO determine
what substances must be avoided OF
the many adulterants forced upon the
public by INSCRIPTIONS deslears to en-.
nance the profits of their trade in life's
necessities. The scheme met with
the cordial support of the Secretary OF
War, and volunteers have been readily
obtained, as this test involves nothing
that is dangerous or in anywise OBJ
jectionable, and the period OF trial OF
six months involves an entire release
from that irksome routine of garrison
duties.

RENDER UNTO CAESAR. Re.
corder says that rumors are rife that
electrical firms have combined to pro-
test against the State owning and op.
Grating its own plant for lighting the
capitol. It will be remembered that a
halt was called in consequence of the
precipitaucy of the Commission in
adopting a system of lighting not
named in the advertisement and upon
which no competition had been al
lowed. The Attorney General decided
that an award, under the circum.
stances, would be illegal, and the board
rescinded its action. While upon this
subject, it might as we'll be suggested
that the State could very properly
have given the local company an
award for the water supply of the cap
itol instead OF sinking artesian wells
and installing cisterns and tanks at q
large expense and OF doubtful utility
and totally inadequate for fire protec.
ton. It does seem as if that consid.
GRAFTON alone should have influenced
the board to favor the local company

verse circumstances to maintain it,

WOMEN REPEAL OBNOXIOUS RULE.
OF the $4,000 school teachers in
Kansas, 5000 are women, and women
as we'll as men vote at school elections,
and thereon an issue was lately made
at the polls which resulted in the com.
plete victory of the fair sex. 1t seems
that the Board of Directors in q dis.
trict in Chautauqus county lately
made an order that the women teach.
ers should not receive the attentions oil
men during the school terms for which
they had been engaged. This rule
met, of course, with almost universal
condemnation, and the school marms
made . canvass on the question AZ
presented. In the anti.courting dis.
tricts full boards OF women were elect
ed, and the first thing they did was Ia
rescind the "hateful" order. The wo.
mems voters outnumbered the men
two to one, and it is quite certain that
that issue is definitely settled for oil
time.

LAKE UNION SLIDES TO THE Sea-
The government dam ct the head Of
Lake Union gave way, Wednesday
morning. They flow could not be
stopped and great damage has been
done to the government works, but it
will probably be more than Offset by
the rapid deepening of the channel by
the rush Of water. It is thought that
more has been done in few hours by
this method than the government
could have done in five years time.
The channel in Salmon bay is being
filled with debris, but this can be
moved much more easily than the soil
in its original strata. The waters OF
the lake will be lowered about ten feet
and this will result in suspension OF
mills until the dam can be recon-
structed at the outlet of the canal.
The street car transfers passengers
over the break, and no trains pass over
the railroad bridge, which is cou sidered
unsafe.

AN ORIGINAL WAY OF SELECTING
JURTEs.-It is said that the opinion OF

by a picture enlarger. who in solicit.
ing custom exhibited . picture OF Till.
man, with Others, asking each person
if they knew the original. If they
did, the conversation very naturally
branched off on to the details OF the
tragedy and the canvasser in most
cases obtained from chance word the

that careful record was kept OF these
" indicators" and that the attorneys
had splendid groundwork upon which
to base their selection OF . jury to free
or convict.
