Demand for Trained Teachers.
Principal Crabtree Of the Peru State Nor
NAL. on his return from tour Of the
Junior normals said that there is a big
demand for trained teachers, and pointed
to the fact that nearly every graduate OF
the Peru Normal for 1906 has already Sc
cured good employment in the schools
He has found that school boards are de-
manding that the teachers have normal
trainings and that there is a tendency to
raise the bars against those not qualified
in that manner. He believed that there will
be all the work the state normals can do.
A larger attendance than ever is antici-
pated at Peru this fall.
improvements at Peru.
The head Of the Peru school has plans
under way for the construction OF a brick
veneered dormitory in which provision will
be made for light housekeeping so that the
young women students may cook their own
meals. To assist and train them in house
hold duties a domestic science laboratory
will be placed in the same building and
the students will. the principal says. re-
ceive credit for cooking and washing dishes.
Two girls will be allowed to use each Of
the forty-eight rooms, to each Of which
a kitchen will be attached. Everything
and II is planned to rent the rooms at the
rate Of rs cents a week for each girl Mr..
Crabtree says that the self-boardins
scheme as he terms IT, has already oper-
ated successfully at Peru, many girls main
tanning themselves and paying room rent
on $50 a week. This low cost Is accounted
for by the cheapness Of vegetables ana
fruit at Peru, which is due TO the failure
OF the producers to ship to city markets.
He vouches for the good quality Of the
food and the care with which 1t Is pre-
pared a member Of his stan having gen
eral oversight to see that none OF the
students in the self boarding scheme tries
unwarranted economics.
wants Teachers to Marry
Prof Crabtree, who is the rather OF
the scheme asserts that 1t is part OF his
purpose TO equip the young women grad
yates OF the school with knowledge OF
domestic art and science against the time
when they will be called upon to preside
| over their own homes He believes that
| II is quite the proper thing for young
! woman who has taught five years to marry,
| and urges as one of the arguments In favor
Of his plan Of self boarding dormitory,
the preparation which It will give the young
women for household duties.
! Increase Size of Library Building.
Recently the old wooden library building
has been doubled in size and covered with
| a brick veneer. When tho new library
| provided for by the last Legislature IL
completed, the old structure will be turned
| over to the science department Of the
school. The contract for the new building
was not let at the last session of the
board owing to the unwillingness OF con-
| tractors to attempt more work than they

effort is being made to secure bid through
private solicitation on the part of the
secretary Of the board J. l. McBrien. Be
cause of the enormous extent of the build
ing operations under way the board will
give the bidder his own time.
Made Money Buying state Land.
The purchaser of a quarter section of
penitentiary land at a recent sale made
money out OF the deal. He bought II for
$3.50, or $3.50 an acre a few weeks ago,
and has now sold It for 5000 The first
purchaser was Herman d. Strufflng. The
land lies in the western part of Lancaster
county The sale was authorized by the
legislature. All the penitentiary land has
been sold for about $4,000 which is to
be used in buying land near the prison
where 1t can be cultivated by convict
labor. The land to be bought will cost
800 acre.
Land Commissioner Eaton said today
that the fact that the land had been sold
: at profit of 81. 400 shortly after the state
disposed OF it did not imply laxness or
his part because he did not have any
power to reject bids after the land wa,
advertised. In addition he says that tn,
