high school makes our standard con.
form to the requirements of the
North Central Association OF Col.
leges and Secondary Schools. 1t also
enables further division of the
classes into sections, thus making 1t
possible for the teachers to do more
personal work with the students.
Reports from different colleges in
Colorado state that our students take
equal average rank with any other
high school of our state.
We have had our students listen
to many helpful addresses from those
outside of school work. These talks
we're delivered at the opening exer-
cises In the morning.
1t is our belief that it is as help.
full to inspire the minds of the
young with noble sentiment as to
teach any truths of science.
Our dominant purpose in selecting
high school or lower grade teachers
should always be to secure the best
qualified.
You are to be congratulated for
appointing to teach the schools of
this district a corps of conscientious
and competent instructors. They
compare favorably with the most
progressive in the state.
From his past experience in assist.
ing to select teachers the superin-
tendent has been convinced that the
committee on teachers and the sup.
erintendent should visit all Normal
school applicants to inspect their
teaching; that they should consult
those members of the Normal school
faculty who know about their teach
ing, governing ability and can GER
tify as to their character.
Then after having such personal
Interview as the committeeman may
deem best make the selections with
out written examination. While
a written examination possesses the
advantages Of enabling the commit.

Jap Kills Jap at Platteville.

Frank Murato, Jap, shot and
instantly killed Kesakuna Yubis-
kula, another Jap, and wounded S.
Sato, a third Jap, at Platteville last
Wednesday evening and then made
his escape.
There had been a quarrel of some
time standing between the murderer
and his victim and the former sud.
denly appeared at the door of the
shack where number Of Japs we're
lodged and opened fire on Yubiskula.
After receiving one wound in the
shoulder the victim sought refuge
behind trunk where Murato fired
one shot into his victims back.
He. then semptied the revolver into
the prostrate form, managing In
some way to wound one Of the other
Japs.
Coroner Macy was called to Platte.
Vile the next morning and held an
inquest.
1t was supposed that Murato went
north but up to the present time nc
trace has been found of him.

Horses Smash Things.

A team belonging to Lewis Will
son, of the Mansion stables, did a
little runaway up Eighth avenue
from the Camtield hotel to Ninth
street Friday morning that furnished
excitement good and plenty. They
we're loading travelling mans
trunk in the rear seat of the surry
when the nags decided it was time
for a runaway and away they went.
They nearly went into the basement
of the Wheeler l. Woolf building but
compromised by upsettiDg the rit
there and dropping Mr.. Wilson off
who had up to this time hung fast tc
the lines. With the surry dragging
on its side the team now went south,
more or less smashing up row OF
buggies in front of the real estate
offices on the avenue and almost
starting several more runaways.
The team was finally stopped near
the corner of Ninth street.

fisherman's paradise. You will see
samples of him every little distance
intently watching his cast, playing a
big one, or taking a restful smoke
from his old corn cob while sitting
on rock by the waters edge. In
spite Of the numbev of fishermen the
Platte is still one of the best fish
streams in the state.
On this excursion there will be
time to fish. You can have one,
two three or four hours at 1t, ac-
cording to where you care to stop
The train will go to Cassells where
luncheon will be served for those
who do not care to picnic. But you
can drop off at any place in the
canon and be picked up on the return
trip.
Right here is one of the artificial
advantages of Platte canon as play
ground. You can go as far as you
wish up or down the stream from
your lodging place and If too tired
to walk back wave your llanu ao
the engineer and he will stop and
give you a lift. That is his busl-

of dry goods or a city lot. he
knows all the people up and down
the canon, whether or not he ever
saw them before. 1t is the cordial1ty
bred Of the canon atmosphere. a
perfect stranger could ride the length
OF the canon and if he would just
unbend bit and look as though ne
was entering into the spirit Of the
place he could hold a regular pres'-

train stopped and shake hands with

yet it deters some strong teachers
who are adverse to taking the exami-
nation and who are among the ablest
teachers graduated.
Since it is to the advantage OF our
State Normal school to place their
best teachers in hrst-class districts
and finding that such is their desire
l believe that we should gain, rather
than lose, by the plan suggested.
During the past two years there
has been marked Improvement In
the spelling in our schools. we
plan to make it still better. I'M
provements in our present methods
are to be made.
Special attention is to be directed
toward improving the results IN
reading the ensuing year.
BY having a regular reader, con-
sisting OF short, standard selections
OF prose, poetry and blank verse, we
believe that the pupils taste for
good literature will be increased; !;
that much advancement Will be
noticed in their power to enter into
the spirit of their reading and thus
render 1t with better expression.
There should be regularly
adopted reader In the sixth, seventh
and eighth grades. Then the taste
cultivated IN the lower grades shouio
be nourished, not dealt with IN a
somewhat desultory manner. ms
will not interfere with the literature
outline work or the reading no"
done from classical selections. we
can arrange the time. Pupils can
not read too much good literatue.
The literature outline plan now ID
use, which provides for the STUDY OF
one author in each grade, has met

sumner vacations, perhaps, than In
all other resorts in the state COM
bined: A visit TO the canon will
explain the secret of its attraction.
Then you will come for longer
stay. Words cannot picture the
charm of the place and do 1t justice
for the simple reason that no rwo
persons are impressed by exactly the
same things.
There Is quiet beauty about
Platte Canon found In none OF the
other canons into which we have LED
excursion parties. There IS the
beauty of contrast. From the sub
lime scenes of high and rugged canon
walls one is suddenly whisked into
nastoral scenes and from these again
into the play grounds before meh-

Died from Slugging.

Dan Murphy, the old man who
was found near the railroad tracks at
Ault In an unconscious condition
last Thursday morning. died at the
county hospital Monday afternoon.
Nothing more than just his name
was learned from the old man at the
hospital. He had been in Ault for
a few days but was unknown there.
An autopsy disclosed several bruises
on the old mans head indicating
that he had been slugged.

a place to drop your nerves, YOUR
grievances, your business and sordid
thoughts. A day In the canon will
make man an optimist; week
there will make him a transformed
being. 1t is the place for him to
shed his old skin and come out

To see the canon Is to understand
its charm.
How about sixty miles of river

way, with scarcely enough willows
or other trees to spoil it for one
mile? That is what you get there.

A Good Result.

Under the operation of the new
pure food laws baking powders now
generally bear Oh the labels state
ment of the ingredients. This is OF
utmost Importance because of the
harmful ingredients used in many
cases.
Royal Baking Powder is known to
be the only baking powder made OF
royal grape cream of tartar, and this
no doubt explains its greatly In
creased sale here.
Careful housekeepers are taking
advantage Of the protection which
the laws afford, and are examining
all the reading matter on the back OF
the label before adopting any brand
for use in the nome.
When in place of the words cream
of tartar the words alum, 'alumi-
num- or phosphate of lime" appear
among the ingredients, they heed
the warning and avoid baking pow
der containing these substitutes.
