The extra teachers now employed to
handle the extra pupils concentrated
at this building, win be placed in the
two new rooms.
Principalship.
Several advantages are expected to
result from this change 1t will les
sen the congestion at the Washington
building; the distance to be walked
to school now by the eighth grade
pupils all over the city, will be les
sened and equalized, and the way
will be paved for the change in the
principalship at the Washington
building. At present, Professor Payne
is the principal of both the High
school and the grammar grades. His
work was heavy and the care OF the
grammar grades heretofore has been
given to the assistant principal of the
High school. With the reduction in
the eighth grade, 1t is expected to
drop the assistant principalship and
give the whole building to the princi-
palship. which now carries a some
what larger salary.
To take some of the clerical duties
of of Professor Carnagey, a clerk
probably will be employed by the
board for a while each month. In
this way it is expected to give Pro
fessor Carnagey leisure to devote his
whole time to the work. At the
April meeting of the board, the prin-
cipal of the different buildings will be
elected.

is simply ridiculous to imply by any
sort OF innuendo thar the school
board as whole has not elected
teachers. In no other way may they
be elected. On the other hand, to
think OF twelve men taking up the
election Of teachers in open meeting
without any preliminary investiga-
ton by committee and without the
aid of recommendation by the su-
perintendent and the principals, Is
to laugh. 1t is folly to look on the
teachers and principals and superin-
tendent as so many hirelings, one Of
whom is invested with the title of
superintendent and given certain ex-
ecutive duties to perform, but no
real authority over subordinates, who
may carry questions of practice and
discipline over mis- head to the
board. Discipline is the cornerstone
of the school system. Without 1t
teachers can do nothing with the
children. Without it the superinten-
dent and principals can do nothing
with the teachers. There can be no
concordance of departments if the SUI
perintendent's word is not law. And
If his recommendations and reports
of school affairs are not to be con-
sidered by the board, pray, how is
the school board to acquire any in
formation about teachers work?
If, as the News-Democrat says, the
trustees we're elected to run the
schools" why so to the expense of
bringing a trained expert on school
matters here merely for the purpose
of performing certain perfunctory
administrative duties which any ex-
perienced teacher is capable of per-
forming?
We confidently assert that the
school trustees were not chosen to
run the schools. They are representa-
tives of the people, chosen to admin
lister certain well defined functions
for the benefit of the tax paying pub
lie: but the superintendent is en-
p,oyed to run the schools, under the
authority vested in MIN by the
board, and the better man he Is and
the more latitude he is allowed, the
better the schools will be. You may
chirrup as cneerfully as you may
that the trustees are chosen to run
the schools, but the system will re-
fleet the character of the superinten-
dent. and when the board interferes
with his prerogatives, the schools
will feel the effect.
There is a menace, a warning in
the quotation. We do not hold the
ND. responsible. 1t is but the In
strument through which the warning
Is sounded; but we see sinister
clouds ahead for the new superin-
tendent in this inspired doctrine, that
the trustees were chosen to run the
and not this, zone man
power"

Following the assertion of Com
mander Booth of the Salvation Army,
that there is no tainted money, Pres
ident Needham of George Washing
ton University, spreads out his apron
to the golden flow from the horn OF
plenty, and says: 81 will accept II
from any man, VINO owns it," There
is no faint inherent in the money but
there is a faint when seats of learning
join in an undignified scramble for
wealth and sell degrees to men who
have nothing to show for a life of
activity but lot of money. the faint
Is in the administration of such
schools. Not only does the insidious
danger lie in the influence which the
man of money may exercise over the
schools. but in the spirit manifested,
which will affect the student body
and set up false standards of success
in life.

by the defense. The purpose, it was
said, was to question Jerome as to
certain actions against Hummel, who
was a witness today. This move was
taken as reason for the defense al
lowing much of Hummel's testimony
to stand in the record.

Opinion of JerOme's Expert
On His Sanity
Hummels Testimony Is Admitted
and District Attorney May BE
Called To Stand.
STATE HAS ITS OWN INNINGS

New York, March 15.-Dr. VIII
liam Hirsch of Cornell Medical col
lege, was the first expert witness
called by Jerome in the Thaw trial
today. He was called tnat he might
answer hypothetical question as to
the mental condition of Thaw at the
time of killing White. Witness said
he had Rad the Longfellow letters
and will codicil and the letters Thaw
wrote to Anthony Comstock, COM
planning of White. In answer to the
question the witness said Thaw was
not laboring under a defect of rea-
soning and knew his act was wrong
when h killed White.
Say Thaw Was Sane.
Answering precisely the same hy-
pothetical questions in response to
which alienists of the defense de-
clared that Thaw was suffering from
unsound mind and did not know the
nature or quality of his act when he
killed White, DR.. Austin Flint, the
first expert called today by Jerome in
rebuttal, declared 1t to be his opin-
ion that Thaw positively did know
the nature and quality of his act and
knew the act was wrong.
After repeating to Flint the same
question which Delmas put to the ex-
perts for the defense and having him
declare that Thaw was sane on the
assumption of facts stated therein,
Jerome had read to witness, the
prosecutions hypothetical question
which contained $4,000 words and
which required one hour and IS
minutes in reading. Flint again
said without qualification that Thaw
knew his act .was, wrong and was
therefore liable for murder in the
first degree under the statutes of
New York.
Delmas indicated that he would
cross-examine each expert search
ingly.
Hummel's Testimony Stands.
Abraham Hummel was on the
stand again and before Delmas could
object to a question put to him by
Jerome the witness had got into rec.
ord the statement that Evelyn Mes
bit had told him that she had in
formed Thaw in Paris in 1903 that
White positively had not drugged or
betrayed her. Delmas at first moved
to have the question Il and answer
stricken from record. but as the dis
trict attorney was about to consent
to this plea, the counsel for defense
suddenly insisted that the answer
stand.
Hummels further testimony was
halted until Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
again takes the stand to testify as
to whether or not Hummel was act
ing as her attorney when she made
statements to him which were after
wards embodied in an affidavit.
1t was reported that Jerome may
be called to the stand in sur-rebuttal

good this fall.
A special train occupied by the
Lincoln business men passed through
here Thursday last. They stopped
here while their band played and the
travelling men called on the mer-
chants of our town.
Mr.. iAnox and family have moved
to town. They will live in Mr.. Shor-
toms house and send their children
to school. Mr.. Shorten and family
intend spending the winter in Michi-
gan visiting relatives.
Miss Mona Smith came home Sat
urday night from Rapid City, where
she has been attending school for the
past month. She will not go back
for the present.
After a lot of hard work the school
house down French creek has been
moved a mile or two down SO as to
accommodate more children. The
school house will not be ready for
use for two weeks as some repairing
will have to be done.

gion it is not necessary to contine at
tention to Douglas fir. Large sup
plies of lodgepole pine are available.
This is called an inferior timber, be-
cause it fs not as durable when
placed in the ground as the more re-
sinous Douglas fir. Lodgepole pine is
cheaper than Douglas fir, is lighter,
and therefore easier to transport, and
ambodies all of the requisites of an
ideal pole timber, with the one ex-
| Iception of susceptibility to rapid de-
cay. This, however, can be easily
overcome by proper preservation
treatment. The porous nature of the
wood makes it easy to treat. BY the
injection of proper amount of pre-
servative, a lodgepole pine pole can
be made to last twenty years or
more, at a small cost.
There are large areas of lodgepole
pine i'll which the trees have been
fire or insect killed. A great deal of
timber has been standing in this con-
dition for long time. 1t is for the
most part sound and exceptionally
well seasoned, and consequently in
excellent condition for preservative
treatment. 1t can be secured at a
lower price than~the green timber of
'she same species, and for pole pur-
poses is just as good if not better.
When properly treated with wood
preservative it can be employed for
poles in lessening the drain upon the
more expensive species, such as
Douglas fir.
The government considers the in
|vestigation in the preservation treat
ment of timber of such Importance
that the business of one branch of a
bureau in the department of agricul-
ture-the s'Office of Wood Preserva-
ton" in the Forest service is given
ever entirely to the work Of expert
ments in cooperation with railroad.
companies, mining corporations and
individuals in prolonging the life of
railroad ties, mine props, bridge tim
bers, fence posts and transmission
poles. Advice and practical assis-
tance is furnished all who request
this advice of the Forester. The
lengthening of the life of timber
means the saving of thousands of
dollars annually through doing away
with heavy expense of labor and cost
of material for renewals.

College Education

is T. college education the broad
est and most liberal?
1t is an education of mostly dead
Languages, particularly Latin. and as
to Greek, it is only included nomin-
ally. The ordinary student never
even requires a smattering Of Greek
| to enable him to read a simple page
of classical Greek quite at sight The
college course of today in Europe and
| America is the same course as was
necessary for the training of priest
in the twelfth and thirteenth centur-
les. Latin is only an ecclesiastical Ian
guage and SO it is necessary for ev-
cry priest to learn it.
OF course the colleges have added
the sciences, but they still bear trace
Of the priestly origin. and is wholly
out of concord with modern require
nnents.
A faculty-training education would
have to proceed on very different
lines. In stead of teaching the dead
languages, the modern French and
German would be substituted.
Preservative custom tells us that
education must be linguistic. Lam
guages having once crept in, people
take it for granted that they are the
natural foundation for higher educa-
ton. And instead of substituting
geology, astronomy, zoology or paint
ing, French or German are put in.
This shows our inability to pull away
from the prescribed set Of subjects.
De,tphering lAzeroglyphicsr seems
as educational as aiding Greek. But
nobody would say it ought to be one
of the main subjects for doctor, a
lawyer, or a manufacturer.
Latin and Greek, no doubt afford
good mental training, and are very
fine in understanding the true nature
of grammar.
Ignorance Of grammar is treated a
a social crime, while ignorance of i'm
portanf facts about life or nature is
quite eXcusable.
AS faculty educators, languages
and grammar have proved to be the
| worst possible failures. Along with
training the faculties the mind ought
to be stored with useful facts.
One great error of the college is
| it's bookish and scholastic teaching
no learning. The Importance of trav-
el and experience is underestimated.
Travelling is looked upon as mere
pleasure excursion, while it is an ed
ucation of far more benefit than a
bookish knowledge.
Travel is a great educator although
the conception of such hardly exists
in all Europe or even in America.
Two years travel in Europe is equal
in the Educational line to three years
lin an Americansor English university.
The knowledge obtained by travel is
real and first hand. and impresses.
! This knowledge lives with us for
ever.
May God speed the day when the
colleges will change from bookish
knowledge to a real Knowledge.

ture lover, He has thoroughly ex
plored the Rockies alone, unarmed
and afoot during all seasons of the
year. He has scaled all the highest
peaks of the Rockies, some of them
in mid-winter, and many Of them by
moonlight. He enjoys being out in
the storm and has often climbed or
travelled the wilds by moonlight
alone. He has scaled Longs peak
257 times, and the day of his life was
the time he guided little eight year
old Harriet Peters to the summit of
this rugged peak.
For three years he held that unique
and adventurous position, "State
Observer of Colorado"
He is trfle under medium height
and weight, eats but little and has
extraordinary physical endurance,
Notwithstanding that during his early
life he was an invalid.
Schooling he has had, but this
chiefly from nature. He has written
a little for the Youths Companion
and other eastern press, and is the
author of the Estes Park, Colo, Guide
Book.
His home is log cabin 5000 feet
above sea level on the slope of
Longs Peak. He does few things
that conform to fashion or custom.
His liking for nature, together
with his intense l2ve for birds and
trees, along with appreciation of
their usefulness to mankind, are
worthy causes that sent him to the
platform.

Europe left the steamer at Gibraltar
or Naples, but many, chiefly those
who had already been in Italy, now
come to Trieste and continue from
here their voyage by the new Aus

more beautiful country than the
regions which are made accessible by
this new Transalpine railroad. The
new railway is owned by the state,
and is 1870 miles long. There are 40
tunnels, with total length of ten
