In Genesis it is the earth, the plants,
that follow one after the other in the
order of creation, more perfect, more
powerful, more intelligent and more
spiritual until, woman having been
made, we reach the highest and most
spiritual of all created beings. We
know that women are more spiritual
than men, and it is the spirit that
makes the great artist. It is the spirit
that is developed by continuous effort,
then that which is gained by arduous
toll stamps itself upon the soul and
personality, never to leave, giving a
certain facility or trend to the artists
expression. Painting is not merely
mechanical and technique alone lie
nothing, but the greater master OF
technique one becomes the greater
will be the possibility of interpreting
any subject as the mind desires. And
technique also is not mastered without
work-hard Work-constant work
not merely the work of the classroom,
but original work, trying to weld to-
gether and to weed out, so that what
enc desires to express will be unques-
tionable. The master knows just what
to put in and what to leave out, be-
sides what method will give the de-
sired effect, and that is what the pupil
only acquires by tedious, arduous work
and step by step.

of this institution. The president of

Now, two of its graduates have been

Teachers trained at Monmouth are to
be found in large numbers in every

far greater than the supply. 1t is to

done to this worthy institution and
further enlarge its sphere of useful

Polk county's share of the state
school fund apportionment is $6,171.67.
This amount is a little less than
the apportionment of last year.
The decrease is due to the fact that
many sales of school land have been
adjudged illegal on account of fraud
in making out the applications. The
amount Of the purchase price and the
interest which had been paid, had to
be refunded out OF the treasury, and
this made very material difference
in the amount available for school

The second step has been taken by
the city in the movement for the pur.
chase OF a rock crusher and the
improvement OF the streets. The first
act of the council was to secure a
quarry site by purchasing acres OF
basaltic rock on the Boise farm west
of town. The second step was taken
last night when, after comforting
with three dealers handling road
making machinery, a committee con-
sisting Of Councilmen Sibley, Coad
and Grant was appointed by Mayor
Muir to investigate the respective
merits of the various crushers and
road rollers on the market and report
the result of their findings at the
earliest possible date. The city officers
are moving in earnest and the next
step will be the purchase of the
machinery and the grading of the
streets for the rock.
