Bon Homme County Teachers In

~ S+H.
The Bon Homme County teach
ers' institute will be held in the
fine new public school building IN
Tyndall, commencing Monday
morning August Oath, and will
continue eleven days, closing Sep
TENDER 18th.
Each year the county spends a
considerable sum to better tit Its
teachers for their very important
work. Therefore Bon Homme
county expects every teacher to DO
his. or her, duty, viz to take the
fullest advantage of this opportu-
nifty for Improvement and insplra-
ton.
When a teacher has reached the
state in which he feels that he can
derive no benefit from the instl-
tute, he has reached the line OF
"dead timber" and must be so
considered. Hereafter, it shall be
the policy of this Office to recon-
mend to the state department for
certification or renewal of certiti-
cate only such applicants as can
show a record of full and regular
attendance at institute or it's equiv:
alent in summer school.
AS people do not become real
teachers in a day, q very urgent
invitation is extended to every
youth, who thinks of teaching in
the future, to attend and begin to
grow into the work. An equally
cordial invitation is extended to
all who are interested in educa-
tional work.
The corps of instructors con sists
of Professors Perisho, Manthey,
Everhart, Whiting, and Mrs. L. =.
Cooper. Each is a specialist in
the line of work he will have and a
; very profitable session is assured
to all. Several interesting evening
!, lectures and entertainments will
be given, to which the public is
very cordially invited.
Sincerely yours for better teach
ers and better schools,
. GERALD E. MULLER,
8 Co. Supt.

currency legislation was further compIi-
Gated yesterday by the presentation Of a
minority report on the Fowler bill pre-

Louis two years ago by the American
Bankers Association.
This bill provides for continuation OF
the present government bond-secnred

violent reduction in the value Of govern
ment bonds.
Objections to the Fowler bill are out
lined by Mr.. Mckinney at great length.
The Fowler bin undertakes to do much. 3"
