new copper beds in Montana, Nevada, Lots of peoplel have "hole in the ground" out of which they expect to dig fortune and into which they ex- pect to put lot of other peoples money. The Nipissing silver mines at Cobalt, Ontario, have also been one of the causes for the mining craze. Stocks in that company have risen from five to s34 and the property has gone up from s25O. .OOO to SAG, GOO, 900. It is said that 15o companies have been formed at Cobalt with capital stock of S1Oo,- GOO, ,OOO to be foated. A lot of fools will part with their money before the craze is over. The par value of mining stocks issued in the United States and Canada in 1906 has been estimated at S9OO, COG, 900. President Daniel Gug genheim of the American Smelling & Refining Company,a a recognized mining expert, says that there is only one chance in 300 of mine paying it's stockholders any dividends. It is an evidence of our great prosperity that so many people are ready to put their cash into these mining schemes.

The OUTLOOK.

Low A feature of the annu-
 Teaching al report of the Con-
 Standard. necticut State Board of Education, just made public at Hart
 ford, is the sharp indictment of the low standard of teaching in many To- calities, and the urgent demand for more Normal school graduates. The report says that the number of teach CTS turned out by the three State Nor mai schools is less than half enough to supply the demand, and that during the year under review there were in the state 1000 teachers who had re- eIved no more than common school education~aRd who began work as th e merest tyros in teaching. Our low and vacillating standard of fitness will prove disastrous concession to local control if the gradual increase of wages encourages an inundation of untrained and incompetent teachers from other states-a danger already partially and increasingly apparent, says the report.

Recently in New Y YOrk
 school little Polish Jew boy
 for Crooks was arrested whose name was Harry Stein. His arrest brought to light that in that city is a thriving school which teaches the street gamin how to pick pockets The name of Stein is the one given to the master of this sckool, and although he has been in this country for five years he could not talk English. The exercises which boy has to go through to prepare him for pickpocket are exercises which promote lightness of touch and quickness of handling Stein was convicted of his infaupus business by the testimony of Hymar Grossman, a 14-year boy, who was in the senior class in the pickpockeu's $ school. In the court he showed how the boys were trained to snatch purses 1 and to pick pockets, and he did it so deftly that there was no question but | what the training had been thorough and complete. A pupil in Stein $ school was not considered to be grad uated until he had been able to pick the pocket of his teacher without his knowing it. When he arrived at that proficiency he was ready to work his trade On the street. It is a pity that some men will spend their time train the saloon and the pickpocket school both do just that thing.
