The state board Of public instruc..
ton at it's last meeting adopted
some rules with reference to the
public schools that will interest
teachers. -,
The five district inspectors will
after this year, that is, beginning
in 1906, hold all the examinations,
and sign all the critficates Of sue
cessful teachers. to be countersign-
ed by the local superintendent;
For the current calender year, all
examinations will be made by the
superintendent as heretofore
The new plan will insure uniform
ity in grading throughout the
state.
What will greatly interest
feathers is that all first grade Ger.
tifcates, and this rule begins at
once, will be good for five years
with the privilege of renewal for
FIVE more years.
Second grade certificates will be
good for three years with the priv
ilege of renewal for three.
Holders Of thisd grade certit-
Gates must stand an examination
every year ond after two years will
be dipped unless they make a high
er grade. :.
Another most important rule is
that school trustees must give pre-.
ference to the highest grade certl-
ficates and not employ a lower
grade teacher so long as there is a
higher grade teacher to be had
This rule is to prevent some coun
ties from employing inferior teach
ers because they can get them
cheaper.

Observation-Disclosures Denmark,

lucky Saddle horse. He is fine,
sound, and his natural style is SUI
perlative. No horse is more at
tractive, and no horse carries a
higher natural tail. and he trans
mits these qualities very uniformly
to his get.

gaits known to a gated saddle
horse.
PEDIaRRE-He was sired by Ham,

AutomobiIing at 10 Cents a Mile.

In the Country Calender for July
Herbert L Towel. the motor expert,
writes:
"The standard price Of two pas
senger runabouts is $3.50. 1t OF
present-day construction, its life
might be estimated at $4,000 miles.
The deprecition of a well-kept rum
about in it's first year will be about
5000 to $3.50. At the end of the
second wear it would probably sell
for $500, with spndry lamps, spare
tubes, ETC., thrown in. Its mile.
age has been, perhaps, 5000 miles
in two years, and the repair bill
may have been two per cent, or it's
purchase price per thousand miles
including the repair mans time OH
all jobs which the owner of his
handy man have not personally at
tended to. Thus IL, as is likelv, the
car changes hands at the end Of its
second year, we have for the first
two years an annual depreciation
of nearly or quite 5000, and an
estimated annual repair bill of $52.
The latter would include painting
and thorough ver-hauling before
disposing Of the car.
"Other items would run about as
follows: Tires, at two cents a mile,
$50; gasolene, at one cent per mile,
$40; oil, batteries and small sup
plies, SIS; stable on premises. $40;
insurance (fire), $40; total, S427
for 1000 miles, or 1917 cents per
mile"

,>a.f.acing band of work have. for
months, devoted time, means, en-
ergies and thought in an effort to
enthuse the people at large, and
in many counties and towns, their
appeal for more liberal recognition
ha, met with a warm response.
The era for which they labor seems
to have dawneJ upou Highland.
Let US hope so, and take no back
ward step.
What we haye said on this sub.
iect is not based upon the fear that
there will be concerted action or a
deliberate purpose to cripple the
schools, for, it is both gratifying
and suspicious, that the free
schools are universally endorsed
even by those who recognize the
difficult and unsatisfactory features
of administering the system. There
is no complaint as to the existing
rate, and, inasmuch as this rellef
will come from the increase in
| values instead Of rates, there Will
be no clamor for reduction. Any
chance suggestion to that effect
may be very positively and pointediy
met by mere reference to conditions
certainly in Monterey District.
