The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1909-12-07

1t was purely a question of caste
from the beginning. The lines of So
cial standing were very severly drawn
atAdam's Ferry, as Pearl Amboyne dis
covered very soon after her first visit
t. Lake Linwood. She was a good
looking girl of a practical turn Of
mind, who had worked her way up to
fairly lucrative position in the serv-
ice of New York clothing firm and
was spending her vacation with her
mother at a short distance from the
great metropolis.
Everybody at Adams Ferry goes
to the landing to inquire for mail, and,
incidentally, to see what manner of
people are going up the lake. Law
renee Daniels was holding a parasol
over his aunt's august head, when he
saw Pearl Amboyne Fastening over the
gang plank. Before he could beat a re-
treat the girl had nodded to him, and
he was compelled to acknowledge her
salutation with a perfunctory dip OF
his hat.
Il was not aware" said Miss Eva
Joliffe, sister of Lawrence Daniels
mother, recently deceased, that you
had an acquaintance among the hotel
people"

nervOusly, "a man who Is a reporter
on big newspaper. as I am, is bound
to meet few persons who are not
eligible to the select set at Adams
Ferry"
Il trust, nephew" said Miss Joliffe
that you remember that it is improp
er to mingle your social and bust
ness acquaintance. She is rather
handsome, too, and has her mother

Aunt Eva" said Daniels, "the
young lady in question is of irreproach-
able character She is working
girl, but none the less to be respect
ed on that account"
From that day Lawrence Daniels
had no peace of mind at Lake Lin
wood. He was at Adams Ferry prin-
cipally because his aunt had told him
to come, and, as she was wealthy and
favorably inclined toward him, her re-
quest was not to be disregarded. He
thought rather sorrowfully of the
evenings when he bad called on Pearl
AmbOyne, and of the talks they had
They had read the same books and
spent many pleasant afternoons at
the picture galleries. That was in
the days when he was struggling for
bare existence.
Then somebody discovered that he
could write, and he found himself
upon a paper where his salary ran
into large figures, and he was hailed
by that proudest of journalistic titles
"a good mani" Then he fell into
the good graces of Aunt Eva. That
meant receptions and afternoon teas
and an introduction into one of the
smart sets" of New York. Pearl
Amboyne saw him once or twice after
his rise in fortune. 1t was very easy
for him to tell her that he could find
little time to call upon her, for men
who obey the commands of city ed
itor have little time they may call
their own. She saw him for the
first time in months at the landing at
Adams Ferry.

at the ferry They did not seem to
be aware that they had been socially
ostracised. They cared little about
the Traver's set or the other select
guests OF the hotel. Pearl spent her
days rowing her mother about among
the islands of the lake. There is an
amiable tradition that in this body

island appears, which is lost to view
on the last day of December. There
were islands enough for everybody
and the mother and daughter managed
to steer clear of the Adams Ferry
aristocracy. Lawrence Daniels saw
the two occasionally, and greeted
them in q somewhat embarrassed
fashion.

Washington-The new foreign tar.
IN board recently appointed by the
president is composed of the following
three members Prof. Henry c. EN-
cry, professor OF economics at Yale
university; Mr.. James B. Reynolds,
assistant secretary Of the treasury.
and Mr.. Alvin H. Sanders of Chicago,
zette
The appointments were made under
a paragraph OF the new tariff act
which authorizes the president to ex-
pend $4,000 In an investigation of
the application of the maximum and
minimum rates Of the new tariff law
to foreign countries.
1t is the purpose of the president to
use the board for a much broader in
vestigation. In affixing his signature
to the bill he made public statement
In which he took the ground that the
authorization was such as to enable
him to employ the commission upon
q much wider field than that offered
by the application of the maximum
and maximum rates. 1t Is expected
that he will make the work of the
commission almost as comprehensive
as would have been possible had the
movement for a tariff commission not
failed because of the opposition OF
congress to the proposal that any 9th
er governmental body have a part in
the making of the tariff laws

ated in the law was an amendment oil

The School of Education

The University college of educa-
ton was authorized by the 1egisla,
ture of 1905, and established by the
regents a year later. The object
and purpose of the college of edu-
cation is to train teachers.
Teachers in Minnesota are drawn
from two main 1ces-the normal
schools which furnish grade teach
ers, and the university, which fur
nishes high school teachers. The
cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth as a rule get their high
school teachers from the experience
ed teachers of the smaller cities Of
the state. The inducements they
are able to offer enable them to pick
over the small city teaching forces
AS the supply is always below the
demand, the smaller cities have {
hard time of it.
To meet the situation the univer.
sity school of education was estab
lished. It offers courses to thoss
who have completed two years o.
academic college work which will
help to make them teachers. The
school, however, is handicapped by
lack of facilities. 1t has no build
ing in which to do its work. Sucl
a building is needed, especially tc
accommodate the laboratory of the
department, which is a model schoo
in which the students may practice
and observe the art of teaching.
The regents have made applica
ton to the legislature for such 6
building. It is needed, not for the
sake of the university or the cite:
so much as for the state. Four hun
dred county and city superinten
dents have endorsed the building
Five thousand teachers gathered il
conventions in different parts of thu
state have been a unit for it. The
need is one that should appeal t.
the state legislature, inasmuch a:
it concerns very deeply the com
mon schools of the state Minnea
