Milton. Feb. 1S.-According to an
rouncement the teachers of Milton
and vicinity to the number of 2S met
last Saturday afternoon in the Pres
bvterian church and held one of the
best local institutes ever held in Mil
ton. The main feature of the meeting
was the free and easy manner In
which the teachers expressed them
selves. Usually at such meetings
there is too much stiffness and Qua
ker actions, in which the spirit never
moves more than two or three TO
make them interesting, and as a re-
suit all go away saying that Institutes
are no good.
Mr.. Anderson opened the discus
sion of Employing Teacher: From
a Directors Standpoint; From
Teachers Standpoint" and became so
enthusiastic and interested in his SUD
iect that he held his audience almost
spell-bound for 40 minutes. Re-
marks were then made by f. B. Conk-
lin. w. 5. Mayberry and Miss Chris
1ensen of the Freewater schools
The thought of signing a contract
and resigning in order to accept an
other school that paid four or tVe
dollars more a month was thoroughly
discussed. Mr.. Mayberry said that a
teacher knew the conditions when ne
signed the contract, and If he resigned
to accept another at a higher salary
he sacrificed his principle, and wasn't
considered responsible for any prom
ise made.
Several teachers took exception 10
this. and said they couldn't see why
a teacher couldn't have the same
privilege as clerks, bankers, book
keepers. etc, to which Mr. Wehes
said: THE teacher has a contract
and II would be more to her credit to
I'll It, and possibly more money II she
was worthy of her hire"
Mr.. Conklin then took up the SUD
iect of the educational Exhibit al
the Lewis and Clark Fair at Port
land" explaining the features OF ina
department and answering question:
that were not wholly understood alonl
that line by those present. the ldef
existed around here that only city o.
town schools were expected to pre-
mare anything for the exhibit; but M
said some of the country school,

schools. The educational fraternit!

New York. Jan. SIN an address

tion here. Simon N. Patten. professor
OF political economy of the University
OF Pennsylvania. has advocated that
women should marry early. and when
married they should work, in order to
have economic independence.
Professor Patten deplored the fact
that so many married women are in
the leisure class He argued that il
the ideal which is held by so many
men in regard to the support Of their
wives is carried on much farther it will
result in deterioration of the race
and real danger to society.
In order to carry out this plan of
economic independence Prof. Patten
stated that the standard Of life of the
family should never fall below that
created by the joint income of hus-
band and wife, ami under no condition
should the wife think Of allowing the
burden of her support to fall upon her
husband until the earning power Of
the husband had been So enlarged as
to admit such action.

Portland, Jan. SILT is claimed In
Portland today that suspicion of hav-
ing murdered Manager Edwin Stone
of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad Is
directed toward man whose name Is
not known. but who is said TO have
insistently made application to Mr..
Stone for money. Arrangements are
being made for the funeral OF Mr..
Stone. which will take place In Albany
Sunday afternoon,
Mr.. Stone went to Newport Satur-
day, accompanied by Hon. and Mrs. j.
K. Weatherford of Albany. and Man.
ager Seeley OF the Albany Creamery
Company. according to this report
After arrival at Newport the party
went to the Abbey hotel and after
dinner Mr.. weatherford and Mr.. Stone
crossed the street to buy some cigars.
In making the payment for the cigars
the railroad official exhibited sum
of about $50. receiving change for a
bill of large denomination.
Standing near was man having the
appearance OF a workingman, who In,
terrupted the conversation by saying
to Mr.. Stone: GIVE me s2.'
Somewhat surprised. the official
faced the stranger. saying: II do not
know you, why should l give you
money!"
Then give me a job: know you,"
was the response. and the stranger dis
closed a disposition TO persist In the
thought that because the official nad
exhibited considerable money he ought
to be willing to divide.
Lighting their cigars, Messrs. Stone
and Weatherford departed. after Mr..
Stone remarked that he did not feel
that ne owed the fellow either none,
Or a job.
After having been attracted by the
noise to the room where fatal injuries
were inflicted upon the railroad man.
