possible to raise the salary in each
department at least twenty-five per
cent. We then owe it to the corps
of teachers so hired to give them
our heartiest support in their efforts

Let us work for the establish

raised to living wage: try to get

all work together for the better

Editor Record Courier:

EuitOr hecOru-COuTler
In the last issue of your
paper there was an item concerning
the very creditable entertainment
given at the close of the schools of
this place. Now that is thing OF
the past we have take under con-
sideration the coming term OF
school. Three considerations seem
to stand out stronger than any
others at this time:-
First the duties OF the board oil
school trustees; second, the duties
of the teachers; and third, our
duties as patrons OF the school.
The board of trustees should use
every effort to get the best teachers
that can be secured for each
position. For the position of
Principal of the school let us have
broad minded, scholarly man,
a man OF character and poss ssin g
some natural personal magnetism,
50 that he will attract and not
repel the teachers and scholars
under his control. The present
sal ry is entirely inadequate to do
this, and no first class educator,
such as we need, will stay for any
length of time for the mere pittance
now paid at the head of our school.
While this same remark as to
the inadequcy of the salary applies
to the OTHER departments, this dis
trict has been extremely fortunate
in the selection of the teachers in
the lower grades. But they should
have their salaries raised to such
sum that they will be willing to
remain with us longer than one
term.
The teachers selected should give
their undivided effort to make each
term as helpful to the pupils as it
is possible to make it. Let the
efforts Of the principal be directed
toward strengthiug the efforts of
the teachers under him rather than
the airing of his superior knowledge
a thing which often becomes nau-
seating to all concerned.
The third consideration, and not
the least important, is the duties
we owe to the school. First, l
would say that we should each
consider himself committee of
one to see that the petition for the
establishment of the High School,
as it was passed at the last session
of the State Legislature, has his
signature and is presented to the
board of county Com nissioners at
the earliest possible moment SO
that it can be defininately located
here by the coming term. This
will make the High School q
County affair an l relieve this dis
trict of great deal Of the burden of

SERMON RUINS PREACHER.
Woman Who Heard It Had to Confess
Misconduct With Him.

A special to the New ork World from
Lincoln, Neb, dated July Is, says: The
Rev w. P. Ferguson, pastor of the First
Methodist Church Of University Place. a
suburb, was suspended today from the
church after a two days hearing on
charges of misconduct with Mrs Cross, a
member of his congregation, at whose
house he boarded.
After hearing Ferguson deliver a power
full sermon on virtue Mrs. Cross confessed
to misconduct with the minister al various
places including his study and hotels.
The hearing was before seven Methodist
preachers from surrounding cities. AL
though Mrs. Cross was the principal wit
ness several others substantiated her tes-
timony She testified that it was not until
she heard the powerful sermon on virtue
that she realized her position. She finally
succeeded in bringing herself to the task
of making a confession to the church board.
Milton Burke, cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank who was also a boarder at
Mrs. Cross home. testified that the clergy
man was indiscreet even in the presence of
the boarders. Miss Josephine Brown. gem
eral secretary of the loung Women
Christian Association, another boarder, said
she had been driven to take up her ABODE
in another city and to withdraw from
Ferguson's church because OF the minister
conduct.
In the early eighties Ferguson was
minister In New York city. For five years
he was president of the Centenary College
Institute in Hackettstown N. J., and later
pastor of St Lukes Church. at Newark

petitioners assert that the rates charged Inv

the defendant since 1899 was owned by tho

IN TINS manner, the petition continues
the said companies control the eastern

Such control of mines and markets the
complainant alleges, must inevitably re-

1t Is alleged further that the charges for
transportation of coal from the Wyoming
region to tidewater are unreasonable and
excessive as to prevent the compla inantS
from shipping their products to New York

them reparation against the defendant in

BATTLESHIPS WILL RACE.
Louisiana and Connecticut to Settle
Merits of Government Construction.

NEW YORK, July 19.-Final settlement
OF the relative merits Of government-built
and privately built battleshps Is expected
when the Connecticut and Louisiana, two
Of the government vessels in the navy, fly
over a measured course between Cape Ann
and Cape Porpoise off the New England
coast. The government built battleship is
represented by the Connecticut and the
Louisiana is a type Of those turned out by
private yards Both are now here groom
ing for the contest.
Millions depend upon the ability of the
louisiana to beat her rival, because if the
Connecticut should win the race the labor
unions will have grounds to urge Congress
that public instead of private yards build
future battleships. The Connecticut is the
flagship of the North Atlantic fleet, which
Is scheduled to go around to the Pacific
in the fall under command Of Rear Admiral
Evans.
The two battleships were built under
competitive construction, but the Louisiana
was finished ahead of the Connecticut.
They are identical as to hulls, machinery,
armor, armament and fighting qualities.
The only question Is the ability of either to
steam faster than the other.
The Louisiana cost, exclusive Of armor
and her fighting weapons. $3,99OOO0, but the
Connecticut cost $4,212,O0O.
