LIST, increasing interest of teachers in
summer training school.-The teachers
of Pembina county have attended the
summer training school at the Univer-
sity in increasing numbers and an in
creasing per centage of those in atten-
dance have remained the full period of
six weeks.
End, Increasing attention given to the
subjects of proper heating and ventila-
tion.-School officers have begun to re-
alize thesimportance of furnishing pro-
per heating and ventilation. During the
past two years, twenty approved heating
and ventillng systems have been INSTALL
ed including steam system at Drayton.
Several other districts have contracted
for systems to be installed this fall.
Prior to 1904, but two school houses in
the county had any provision whatever
for Eentilation. Now about twenty per
cent of the school districts have provid-
ed satisfactory ventilation. -
3rd, Growing appreciation of the inn
portance of good high schools in the vii
lagos and cities.-Pembina has added 2
rooms, let contract for steam heating
plant with ventilation, hired third
high school teacher, and raised its rat
ing from second to first class. Drayton
has built $4,000 addition to the high
school giving the district one of the
finest high school buildings in the north
ern part of the state. Bathgate has
increased the efficiency of the schools
there by building an addition to the
high school and by employing a high
school assistant. Cavalier has built up
an excellent high school department
and scured second class rating with
prospects of advancement to first class
rating in the near future. Crystal and
Neche have made extensive additions to
their school buildings and have applied
for classification as second high schools.
With the admission of these two schools
Pembina county will have three first
class and four second class high schools
with two others, Hamilton and Walhalla
doing very creditable high school work.
4th, A splendid increase in attend
nce.-Special emphasis has been laid
upon longer terms and better attend
ance with the result that the number of
schools in session for seven months or
longer has increased from 6, to 100 and
the percentage of attendance has in
creased from 81 per cent in 1904 to 80
per cent in 1905. While there has been
a considerable decrease in the numera-
ton, due to heavy emigration to the
western part of the state and the Cam
adian Northwest, the enrolment has
increased from 4,49O to 4,e4O, and the
average daily attendance from 2,642 to
2,6os.
9th, A substantial increase in teach
ers' salaries. The average monthly
salary Of female teachers has increased
from s39Os to eA8.23, Of male teachers
from s5l.4 to s87. .19. and of, all teachers
from S44.32 to 347.40. as

Didn't Know it Was Loaded.

The Times wishes to impress it's patrons that 1t is prepared to supply their needs in anything in the print ing line. There are very few orders for printing in this community that we cannot execute right here in The Times office. and those we cannot do ourselves. we can have done just as cheap or cheaper than the customer can buy 1t and still make nice con- mission on the work.
 \ few days ago we ran into whole box of printed matter that friend of ours had "sont on for It was a class of work that We could have done just as easily as we turn out hand bill or a box of envelopes, but it was little out of the ordinary run Of print ing and he said he didn't know We could do it. The job cost s20 and we could have turned it out and made neat profit on 1t
 The Times las little complaint to make-we get very liberal share of the work the business meu of Forrest City have done. and il k sonly through these didn't know" transactions that we lose out occasionally But we have big office and 1t ought to be kept mighty busy therefore we ask all of our customers to give Us a whack at anything in our line, whether they think we can do it or not, and the chances are We can save them i some coin on the transaction.

Arkansas Deaf Mute Institute
 Opens October R.

This is free school for all the deaf children of sound mind in the state, not all asylum for the feeble mind ed. weak or intrm. Every good citi- zen ought to see to it that the par ents of deaf children in his neighbor- hood know Of the school and urge them to take advantage of it's privi- legeS. It is an educational institution .of which every citizen should feel proud. It is doing noble work for these afflicted children.
 The public schools are free to the hearing This school is free to the deaf. The parents of deaf children who have kept their children away from school have robbed them of the privileges justly due them. This is the only place i'll the state where they can be taught and to leave them un- educated is dangerous Educated they are support to the family and society: uneducated they are usually a burden to both. Parents ought not to let q mistaken idea of love and a dread of separation drive them to make the lamentable error of keeping their deaf children at home. The Institute has 2s teachers in the school proper and eight instructors in the trades. Last year 273 pupils at tended this school. You send your children to school untrained, and they send them back as educated workmen. There are physician, aurist, dentist and two nurses, who are paid regular salaries to look after the children: three women who are constantly with the girls when they are not busy at lessons, and d man and woman to be with the boys, the woman to be with the little boys.
 Besides the common school branches the following trades are taught:
 To the girls-Dressmaking. tailor ing, cooking, housework, fancy needle work basket weaving and art.
 To the boys-Printing painting. cabinet making, turning, carpentry. paper hanging, plastering, tailoring, harness making. shoe making, etc.
 The buildings are all most beauti- fully situated on the highest hill near Little Rock making good health certain.
 Everything is free to the deaf ex- cept clothing and railroad expenses, and even that is free to those who are too poor to pay it.

ENDEAVOR UNION WORK
NEW PLANS ARE OUTLINED
Paid Secretary Will be Placed in the
Field-change Made in the Manner
in Which Funds Will be Raised in
the Future.

A paid secretary of the Indiana
Christian Endeavor Union is to be put
in the field to do special work. He will
be assisted by Miss Florence Lanham
of Indianapolis, the present secretary
The Union will endeavor to increase
the scope of it's work and make more
active progress. Clarence Case, pas
tor of the South Eighth Street Friends
church, and Professor Ebert Russell
of Earlham College. trustee of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor
have returned from a meeting at In
dianapolis, where action in regard tC
the employment of the secretry was
taken by the advisory board.
The field secretary will visit every
district in the state in the effort to
strengthen the work. Miss Lanham
will become an unsalaried assistant
She will continue to assist in the work
however.
A change was decided upon in the
method of raising funds. An assess
ment will be levied on each society
for it's share of the expenses of the
district work. The present plan OF
personal pledges by individuals will be
abolished. A policy of greater pub
licity will be adopted. Bulletins will
be issued at regular intervals in order
to give the exact and detailed informa
ton regarding the financial condition
of the organization and nature of the
work.

Richmond Ministers Will Receive Re.
quest from Statistician Relative to
Membership in Churches and Sun.
day School and Property Value.

Ministers of every church, Catholic
and Protestant, in Richmond, will re.
ceive a letter from State StatisHcian
Joseph H. Stubs, within a few days
asking a detailed statement of church
membership and property value.
These letters will be in the form of a
blank, which is now in the hands of
the printer and Mr.. Stubs hopes to
have received the majority of an
swers within a short time. These
figures will be used by the statistician
in compiling a set of religious stats
tics on which he has been working
for some time.
The information sought embraces
church and Sunday school member
ship, membership and a strength of
affiliated bodies, valuation of proper
ty, contributions of philanthropic
movements and missions and various
other phases of church work.

HAS HAD UNIQUE RECORD
UNDER MANY ADMINISTRATION
HE HAS HELD HIS PLACE.
SAME THING ON STATE HEALTH
BOARD.

One of the interesting phases of the
incoming Democratic administration
of municipal affairs in Richmond, is
that of the city health department
changes. Men prominent in the af-
fairs of both the Democrats and Re-
publicans are asking one another
whether DR.. T. Henry Davis, the city
health officer and also president of
the Indiana State Board Of Health,
will be permitted to hold his place by
Mayor-elect Schillinger.
An Unusual Record.
DR.. Davis enjoys a distinction which
is not paralleled by any health officer
in Indiana and perhaps in the country.
For more than thirty years he has
served continuously as the health Of
ficer of Richmond. There have been
changes in the administration and eff
forts have been made time after time
by some of the members of the medic
al fraternity to see that DR.. Davis be
unseated, but to no avail.
1t is the same in the State Health
Board Dr.. Davis has served longer
IAdu any otlCl IACIhDOA. LAG Aoo
twice been president of the body and
under Democratic as we'll as Repub-
lican governors he has held his place.
Opponents Always FIoored.
During all of these years it has new
er been possible for opponents of DR..
Davis to show that he has been other
wise than highly efficient. Rich
mond's excellent sanitary condition
and the manner in which epidemics
of disease have been successfully
COPIED with, are achievements which
have been the secret of DR.. Davis
keystone hold on the place. 1t is
deemed likely that DR.. Davis will be
selected to again serve as health Off
Ger although it is no secret that there
are other doctors who would be glad
of the opportunity to serve the munic-
ipality.

FEW CASES OF MEASLES
EPIDEMIC NEARING END
Have Been $50 Cases In the city Dur
ing the Summer but no Deaths
in Form.

Nearly $50 cases of measles have
been reported in Richmond this sum-
mer and there has not been a death
from the disease. According to the
health Office records measles appear
ed in 80 homes in the city limits. and
from one to five members of the fam
flies were afflicted. The average num-
Der to a household was about three,
which would put the total number of
cases close to $50. AS rule the at
tacks of measles this year were ex-
ceedingly mild. At the present time
there are but a few houses "carded"
showing that the epidemic has spent
itself and is in its final stages.

THE NEW SYSTEM
BEING FAVORED
Automatic Telephone Ex-
change Likely to be Install
ed by Home Company.
EXPERIENCE OF COLUMBUS
LOW RATES GIVEN DESPITE THE
COSTLY EQUIPMENT - SOME
FIGURES THAT WILL BE OF LO-
CAL INTEREST.

According to information received
by the Palladium yesterday an effort
is being made by a number of the
patrons of the Home Telephone Com
pany to persuade the management to
adopt the automatic central station,
on the ground that service will be
greatly improved and will in fact
reach a stage of perfection that it is
impossible to acquire under the pre-
sent exchange system. 1t is said that
the management Of the telephone COM
pany seriously contemplates the adop-
ton of the system and most of the
members of the board heartily favor
it,
In this connection the Palladium has
received a communication from
Richmond man who is anxious to see
the automatic system installed. 1t
is as follows:
Editor Palladium 1t was stated by
the Richmond Home Telephone Co,
few weeks ago that they would make
an investigation of the Automatic Tel
epbone, with view of installing same
in Richmond, provided it was a sue
cess in the other cities where used
One. of the largest cities in the country
equipped with this most modern of
telephone systems, is Columbus, Ohio,
and the following information regard
ing same will be of interest to all
telephone subscribers in Richmond.
The Columbus Citizens Telephone
Co, was incorporated in December
1898, and began operating paid service
in August 1900.
The original installation provided
switchboard with a capacity of $500
main lines. There were less than
200 telephones in Columbus when this
switchboard was planned, and the
capacity was thought to be sufficient
for long period of years. In less
than three years the capacity was
exhausted. 1t then became a problem
of expansion, which is peculiarly
difficult to solve in the telephone bust
ness, because under old forms of con-
struction additions could not be made
to the original switchboard. Expan-
sion meant the use of party lines, the
establishment of branch exchanges, or
an entirely new switchboard. The
directors of the company were oppos-
ed to party-line service, and it was
not thought that Columbus had reach
ed sufficient size to necessitate the
slowing up of service by branch ex-
change additions. A new switch
board was therefore decided upon.
After careful investigation of its
merits automatic tele phone equipment
was chosen. For outside work a
much larger proportion of cable dis
tribution was laid out, lines were
shifted from streets to alleys, and
more than 100000 feet of duct was
added to the underground system.
The automatic switchboard has an i'm
mediate capacity of 5000 main lines
and is capable of indefinite expansion
and at the present time the company
has in use on it's Columbus exchange
S256 telephones, for which the follow
ing rental is charged, viz:
Business places. $40 per annum.
Residents, s24 per annum.
