Therefore, be it resolved hat she

Sessions of the County Teachers In
stitute Drawing to a Close.

wednesdays Report.
During the first period, Prof.
Vaughn a a talk on Grammar, dur
ing which the Institute discussed the
.Fonetic' spelling and President
Roosevelt's ideas on the subject.
The devotional exercises were led
by Mr.. Burnett.
The next lesson was on Compost
tion," by Miss Rodkey.
The discussion of this subject by
the teachers brought out very clearly
the fact that while there are plenty
of unceasing takers in the world,
good conversationalists are scarce.
That the best way to train for
is to lay the foundations of good hab-
it's in oral work during school life.
The lecture on Civics was conduct
ed by Prof. Vaughn, who quoted,
Americans have peculiarly two pa
triotisms, to the state and to the ma
tion."
He voiced the sentiment of many
| others when he said nat the thing
that concerns us in Roswell is terri
torial government. On this subject he
| showed how interesting civics could
| be made to a child, especially after
| a visit of some county or city official.
| How the duties of each, their salaries,
| etc, might all be taught. Many a man
| will now cherish the fond hope that
the school may be visited in the flu
ture-to find out the duties of incum-
| bent offices.
No wonder little tots of three or
four years are ardent Democrats, or
in Civics begin at home, wnen they
hear Father discuss the situation,
| and later when they quote what "our
| paper" says.
Miss Rodkey continued her subject
of Pedagogy from the day before, and
| speaking of the age of some of it's
principles, referred to Sir Thomas
More's Utopia. Among her remarks
/ she said that gentleman was so kind
hearted that in order not to hurt any
ones feelings, he married the elder
| sister instead of the younger Miss
Rodkey also said that his kind heart
did not make him falter as to his re-
ligion, but because of his opposition
to the King his head was cut off. He
is not the first man, nor will he be
the last that religion causes to lose
their heads She spoke of the ideal
conditions existing in Utopia, there
all the children were educated. Oh,
that Utopia could be established am
ong some of the population of Ros-
well. Another good thing in Utopia
was that everybody worked-even

"MUCK RAKE" SPEECH VIEW.
Chicago Rabbi Says the President

The muck rake" speech of President
Roosevelt was discussed recently by
DIR. Emil g. Hirsch in his lecture at
Sinai temple in Chicago, says n dis
patch from that city. He interpreted it
as IAN expression of the presidents be
lief or feeling that the emotional expo
nents of the gospel of unrest are likely
to rush the country into the vortex Of
the greatest of the worlds revolutions
unless halt is called"
THAT, L take it, is the thought that
inspired the great address of President
Roosevelt in Washington. He inter
prets Alright the signs of the times. He
sees ahead for his beloved country the
vision CT a revolution infinitely more
farreaching than any that the world
has ever known.
But let there be no mistake about
the presidents meaning. To me 1t
seems clear that his warning against
what may be called extremism is di-
rected as much to the wealthy or so
called capitalistic class as to the crit
les on the incessant quest with the ma
lodorous and unsightly rake. He ques-

would lose all of it and begin to look

| cheered the citizens, has given the
country assurance that the city would
| be rebuilt better than before and has
worked night and day TO do the thou
| sand and one things that the situation
demanded-in a word, the way he has
made himself equal TO great occasion
has attracted favorable comment the
country over. This man is Mayor Eu.
gene +. Schmitz. He is Il native of the
Golden Gate City and. though only a
little past forty, is serving his third
term as head of its government. One
thing that makes his position unique is
that he was elected without the help of
either OF the regular party organiza-
tionS, being the candidate of the Union
Labor forces. When he was first nomi-
mated in 1901 scarcely anybody believ
ed that he had a ghost of show. Yet
he was successful by an overwhelming
plurality. Another notable thing about
Mayor Schmitz is that he is the son of
n German father and an Irish mother
given the country some of its strongest
men. Mr.. SchmitZ, like his father. is
musician, having been at one time di-
rector of the orchestra at the Columbia
theater. He was also president of the
Musicians union of San Francisco.
His FAIRNESS as an employer and his
ability as a speaker made him popular
with the labor forces, and when they
decided to run an independent ticket
they turned to him as their leader 1t

Accomplished VioIinist.
Mayor SchmitZ is tall and athletic in
appearance and of a bearing that
would make him a marked man any
where. He is an accomplished violin
iSt. At the time of the strike of the
miners Mayor SchmitZ was
instrumental in having Il musical en-
tertainment held TO raise funds for
their support. He directed the orches-
ira and played a violin solo. The sum
of over $1,000 was raised.

KENTUCKY
GIRLS
IDEA

VINO suggested homecoming week?
As the reunion of all Kentuckians
draws nearer and the magnitude of the
underta king becomes more and more
apparent, this question constantly re-
ours, and the answer is-Miss Louise
Lee Hardin, says the Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.
Miss Hardin is one of Kentucky's
daughters whose brains and energy
have made her one of the most promi
ncnt club women in the United States.
She is at the head of several women's
orga niZations, is the editor of Il pro
gressive monthly magazine and is vice
president of the Kentucky Society of
Denver which is now her home
1t was during the early part of July,
1905, that Miss Hardin. then on Il visit
TO Louisville. called up r.. f. Hughes,
secretary of the Commercial club, and
suggested homecoming week. 1t was
her first visit to Kentucky for Il long
time, and so OverjOyed was she to be
back to her old Kentucky home. SO
pleasant did she find the renewal of
Its associations, that she could not re-
sist the desire to do something TO bring
the other Kentuckians back for Il few
days ut least.
When she called up the Commercial
club Miss Hardin explained her rea-
sons for calling Mr. Hughes and asked
if the Commercial club would not I'M
dertake to arrange meet of diStin-
guIshed Kentuckians who had won
fame and fortune outside of its Dor
ders. Mr.. Hughes suggested that the
invitation be more general and. being
much impressed with the idea. request
ed Miss Hardin to write letter which
could be read to the directors of the
club setting forth her plans in order
that it might be formally acted upon by
