SHOOK SCHOOL COURSE OF STUDY.

l understand there is comnlaint
that our course of study is too long
and hence pupils cannot finish itsoon
enough, so as to enter the profession
of teaching and other occupations.
Besides there is complaint that we
do not promote often enough.
l feel sure that | can sh0w our
standard is not too high. have by
me the course of study in tae city
Schools of Nashville, Tenn, and Of
Birmingham, Ala. The first ten
years of their course is practically
the same as ours. As we have q ten
months course and they have only
nine mouths, we have few more
studies in ten years than they d,t 8
If Il child enters Shook Scho} at
six years OF age, and that is thcaage
of admission, and passes his gsade
each year, he will graduate at IL.
There are very few Boards Of Di-
rectors that would be very Likely to
employ teachers under lS years OF
age. Does not this fact show that
the fr,t complaint is not wisely made?
la schools where promotions occur
ottener, you will find that no teacher
has charge of pupils in more than
one grade. In that case each teach
er can separate her pupils into wo
classes, and place the quickest pupils
two and one half months ahead OF the
other class. In this way exception
ally bright and studious pupils can
be promoted ottener without inter
tering with the grades IN any way.
Owing to our crowded condition in
all the grades up to the sixth, IL is
absolutely necessary that every One
of our teachers except two shall
teach one grade and part of anoth-
er, In this condition OF things, pro-
motions can OILY occur once u year.
However, we meet this difficulty in
another way. Last year one girl took
the 5th ana 9th grade studies ats,he
same time. Three others took \ 70
8 h and 7th grade studies at once.
This required them to recte every
hour in the day. None but a very
healthy student, one who is ambitious
and udious, can do this. The aver
age student cannot do more in year
than our course lays down for him.
Children tn II enler at six and con-
tinue to pass each year will enter our
tenth grade at Is years OF age. In
the tenth grade We have Plane Ge.
ometry, High School "A zebra, and
Cages Physics. None but The bright.
est can grasp these subjects at 15
years of age.
Ought we to lower our standard!
The University of Tennessee wrote
me that we had a splendid course Of
study and made ours one OF their
Accredited Schools, whose gradu-
ates are permitted to enter the Uni
versity without examination upon a
Ger lficate from me.
If a parent cannot Keep his child
in school more than one or two years,
we allow such pupils to take such
studies as the parent may choose.
say, let's no d the standard high.
But if the Board and Patrons wish
to lower it, ! can do so very easily.
All parents who are able to do so,
ought by all means to keep their
children in school till they are 16.
That is what our course requires, un-
less bright and studious child will
double his work, which is permitted.
| submit these thoughts for the earn
est consideration OF the patrons.

Killed BY Explosion.

t. G. Norris received a telephone
message this morning from the Mo-
hawk mine at Pine Flat stating that
a man named Kramer had been blown
up there this morning and killed, as
we'll as his body having been mangled
beyond recognition. He was engaged
with two other men in shaft. They
had just completed drilling and load
ing number of holes and were in the
act of lighting, or as miners call it,
splitting the fuse when in some man
ner they dropped some fire igniting
the fuse close to the top Of the drill
ed holes. Seeing the danger of an
immediate explosion two of the men
jumped for the ladder and started
climbing for the surface as rapidly as
possible, at the same time calling to
Kramer, and urging him to follow
them. Instead of doing so, however,
he remained and attempted to put out
the burning fuses. Scarcely had the
two men reached the surface until an
explosion occurred which prob
ably wounded Kramer rendering
him helpless, and the other shots fol-
lowed in quick succession, mangling
his body terribly.
Kramer was a union miner and rep
of the Miners union Sc
cured the services of P. Mohn d Co.
to go out and bring the body in for
burial, and II. NJ. Maus, manager of
the firm left Immediately. The fun

Rules for Breathing.

If ones health is impaired, or if he
wants to preserve it and increase his
power to resist disease, he must first
of all, give attention to his breathing,
says Success. Even food and drink
are second in importance to this, for
one can live for days without nutri-
tion save the air breathed, but if de-
prived of that, even for a few min
utes, life ceases. Here are some of
the first rules for acquiring ia correct
method of breathing, as given by a
specialist who has made an exhaust
i've study of the subject: First-After
retiring at night, release the body and
mind from all tension, and take full
regular inhalations through your nos
trils; hold the breath about one sec
ond; take all the time you can to ex-
hale it; keep this up until you are
weary or fall asleep. Second-When
you wake in the morning. repeat the
exercises at least for five minutes;
longer, if time permits. Third-Dur-
ing the day, take as many full respi-
ratiOns as possible, exercising care
with the exhalations. While taking
these exercises, one should bear in
mind the thought that he is inhalipg
new life aud power.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.

The greatest possibility in connec-
ton with mining investments lies in
acquiring prospects which show evil
dence of good naturalization. 1t
costs money to develop a number of
prospects in an effort 20 find a mine.
but the great profits of mining come
from having made a mine rather than
in having purchased one already
made. Mines of known value, Of
meaurable ore reserves, cannot be
purchsed except at a great profit to
the owners, and some of the bonanzas
which have been sold had at the time
of sale passed the zenith of their pro-
duction. Exploration work in virgin
ground or in developing prospects
partially developed, pursued with
skill and intelligence, usually is pre-
ferable to expanding fortune in &C
curing a big producing mine. In
other words, the men who bought the
Homestake, for instance, at the time
IL was pIoopeCt3 mdue Lar greater
profit on it than could any one who
might purchase it now, for the reason
that its present owners pretty thor
oughly know its value and would not
sell for a dollar less than their own
estimate of its value; whereas, at the
time of their original purchase its
value was undetermined and their
principal investment was what they
expended in exploratory work to as
certain if they had a ne.-Miniug

PAT SULLIVAN
TAKES SHOT. At
Officer Giles on Street
This Morning.
Invites Giles to Take a Drink With
Him and Commences to
Abuse Officer.

Three or four pistol shots rang out
in the crisp morning air about three
o'clock this morning startling some
of the light sleeping citizens, who
thought it was the forerunner of fire
alarm. The occasion of the shooting
was disclosed this morning when
Night Waterman Geo. Giles appeared
on the street with two bullet holes
through his hat, and explained how
they came there. The story be told
was substantially as follows:
Some time since he had occasion to
arrest man named Pat Sullivan, who
was released from the city Jail only
few days ago.
Early this morning while Giles was
making his rounds of the city in pur-
suance of mis- duty he met Sullivan on
the west side Of the plaza. The latter
asked Giles into the Owl saloon to
take drink. Giles replied that he
did not wish a drink but he would
take a cigar with him. After enter
ing the saloon Sullivan commenced
abusing the officer for having arrest
ed him before, winding up by striking
him in the face with his fist. Giles
brought his gun into play striking
Sullivan over the head with .it and
placing him under arrest. He over
looked searching him for weapon
and when they reached the city Jail
Sullivan again showed fight, FIRST strik-
ing Giles with his fist and then draw
ing gun fred two shots at the off,
Ger, both of which went through his
hat While he was shooting, Sullivan
started to run and Giles returned the
fire and thinks be wounded Sullivan
but the latter made good his escape
and it is claimed was assisted out of
town by his friends as he could not
be found today.

commodious residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. B. Hazeltine, and the host
himself greeted the visitors at the
door arrayed in the typical and perfect
costume of Uncle Sam, so familiar to
all. Not unlike the Uncle Sam. of
pictures, in build, Mr.. Hazetline had
his hat perfect representation of hat
of Uncle Sam and the swallow tail of
stars and stripes. The hall and stair
way were decorated with stars and
stripes, while on the first landing of
the stairway was beautiful Columbia
herself, represented in the person of
Miss Bessie HAITI. Over her was sus-
pended an Independence bell, beauti-
fully fashioned with lighted electric
light globe as its tongue.
In the room to the right of the hall,
as the visitors entered was a represen-
tation, conceded by all to be the
climax of the entire trip. 1t was a
room representing an Indian wigwam.
The walls and floor we're covered with
Indian blankets, while Indian baskets
were also arranged in artistic promis-
cuousness around the room. In the
center of the room was a bundle of
sticks of wood, in the center of which
was a red electric light globe, attach
ed by a cord to the ceiling, and
throwing out red light giving it the
appearance of the wood being on fire.
Mrs. Tom Bate and L. F. Fournier
an Indian belle and
brave respectively, the former being
arrayed in Indian costume of the most
gaudy hue, and her face painted in
the very latest and most approved
style of savagery. Mr.. Fournier had
on a genuine coat of former Apache
chief, pair of tight pants of Apache
style and moccasins and was armed
with tomahawk and bow and arrow.
Each looked a veritable Indian in
the dim light afforded by the red cleo
trio light. Mr.. Fournier spent a

and is thoroughly competent to ar
range an Indian costume with most
telling effect. The decoration of the |
room was done by Miss Amy Nelson |

ment and occupants ELECTED the most |
