A BACK NUMBER

According to many of the best
educators the Teachers Institute is be-
coming back number. Many of the
counties of the state have abandoned
them entirely and in others the course
has been reduced to one week. In
the earlier days when colleges and
normal schools were few the teachers
institute was almost the only prepar-
atory school for teaching.
Now however there are many ex-
cellent summer and winter schools. SO
that the institute is no longer ne
cessity. The Institutes are very ex-
pensive, they come in the dead of
summer when the tired teachers
ought to have a rest and not be sub
ject to such examining process as
the institute always is.
In our opinion the qualifications for
teaching should be made high. Sc
we're examinations should be passed
before a certificate is granted, but
when once a first-class certificate is
granted the teacher should be let
alone. There would be Just as much
sense in hauling every lawyer, doctor,
or dentist up for examination every
five years. How many lawyers could
pass text book examination after
| five years of practice? Even the best
lawyers would be apt to fail. Elk
perience is the great teacher and
should count for more than all else.
If young lady has taught school
successfully for five years that should
be enough to convince anyone that she
knows how. and she should not be
subjected to the inconvenience of at
tending an August institute unless
she wishes. nor be Inundated by be-
ing asked to pass a Textbook eXamin-
alton. The institute as rule is too
brief, too superficial to be any thing
but a farce.
Make the girls take a regular
course of training before they are al
| lowed to teach at all. and then leave
them alone; the poor teachers will te
weeded out by patrons and directors.
Many poor teacher can pass good
examination and many good teache,
will pass poor examination. The
teachers institute is relic of pioneer
days and is just as out of place as q
log cabin would be for city home.
The institute played its part we'll in
the early days but now it's place has
been taken by colleges and normals
and training schools and the institute
should be dropped.

ACTING DOGS COMING

"For Hearth and Home" which
Elmer Walters describes as his latest
novelty drama. will be the attraction
at the Opera House Friday August "a.
This play was concocted with the idea
of giving the public something new
and from indications its producer has
succeeded as "For Hearth and Home"
is said to be decidedly original. One
of the many features promised is the
appearance of Tom, Dick, Harry and
Patsy, four dogs of unusual intelli-
gence who have much to do with the
success of the drama.

Clever Penmanship Of Attorney Med.
Ter Puxxles Witness Train DIS
pateher's Testimony

The case for the prosecution In the
train robber trial Is drawing TO a close
and all the evidence shonld be In be.
fore court adjourns this afternoon.
The defense has seven or eight wit
nesses to introduce.
Every effort win be- made 10 bring
the trial to "a close by Saturday after
noon.
Mrs. Jones Of Denver, who was Miss
Henrietta Zulch when she testified
last year. identified Jim Black as the
man who had cashed a check In her
office in Denver, August 2. TN the
first trial Miss Zulch had testified
that II was John Black. She said that
after comparing Jim Blacks hand.
writing with that on the check cashed
and making a thorough inspection OF
the time book and bulletins In the
mine she had become satisfied that
she had made mistake I'm her former
Identification and now believed It was
Jim Black.
The court allowed the prosecution
to treat Mrs. Jones as an adverse wit
ness. and she was put through Q Sc
we're examination In which both Mr..
Llewellyn and Mr.. Medler participat-
ed. On cross examination Mrs. Jones
was given two papers which appeared
to be identical. both purporting To-
contain the signatures of John and
Jim Black, certified to by Judge !.ong.
She was plainly puzzled, as she had
testified to having one paper sent to
her at Denver. Both had her name
written on the back and she testified
to her signatures and said she must
have received both papers or papers
exactly like the ones presented.
When Mr.. Medler testified he said
that he had written one Of the papers.
The copy was so good that the defense
was fooled to the extent of presenting
the Medler paper TO Miss Zulch as the
original. Upon cross examination MIR.
Medler admitted that his skill at dup
licating handwritings was such that
some of his friends had called him
Jim, the Penman."
Train dispatchers for the C. g. s..
Fort Worth G. Denver City and Rock
Island railroads, testified to the move
ment Of trains at the time of the rob
berry. They showed that II the pris-
oners left Bloomfield. Colo. on the az

for them to reach Logan In time for
