Aims to Raise Standard of Teachers
Qualifications With Sudden Jerk
Law UNFAIR AS TO NOTICE

Sometimes human nature is imposed
upon to the breaking point by some
rule or custom which is never corrected
until public sentiment undergoes a re-
action and then the pendulum swings
too far the other way and people and
communities suffer severe hardship un-
til equilibrium is restored.
This seems to be the case in regard
to the recently passed law as to the
qualifications of teachers and the con-
ditions which led up to its passage
Girls have been graduated by the
scores from our high schools and
turned loose on the communities as
teachers without any fitness or quail
tications whatever for the positions
they seek to occupy, save little
knowledge which they have absorbed
as secondary consideration while
rushing through high school toward the
goal, diploma. Too often they have
not studied for any certain purpose or
with any definite end in view and to
say that they are qualified to go forth
as teachers is, as rule. preposterous.
Heretofore there has at times been
a great clamor right here in Glenwoo1
for home girls iii the city schools and
sometimes there has been a demand
that these girls barely through high
school and with no more training or
fitness than could be picked up in
teaching three or four months school
up some country creek should be given
place in the Glenwood schools.
The Post believes and always has be
heved in giving home teachers little
shade of preference PROVIDED AL
WAYS THAT THEY MEASURE UP
TO THE REQUIREMENTS and we do
not think they do this when they refuse
or neglect to fit themselves by proper
normal training. The Gelnwood board
has been told by some insistent appli
cants, and in a rather defiant manner,
too, that they would not take a normal
course, and yet they and their friends
insisted that they be given place in
our schools
1t was largely the knowledge on the
part of the legislators, of these and
similar facts that brought into exist
ence the new law, which, while it may
prove all right in time, will certainly
work a great hardship on both school
districts and teachers for the first
year or two. If the law could have
been made to take effect the first of
the year 1913 it might not have
been so serious but under the pres
ent situation it seems like taking snap
judgment on both patrons and teacn-
ers.
There is no question but that we

WILL HELP MARBLE CELEBRATE

A meeting of the executive commit
was held Wednesday afternoon at the
Grand hotel at which time it was de-
cided to urge all Glenwood people NO
visit Marble on July 4th in celebration
of the nations birthday. A special
will be arranged for over the Bio
Grande and Crystal River roads and
the business men of Glenwood aAd
others will be asked to give the NAY
bleites a good crowd and thus shew
their appreciation of the many visits
made by our neighbors of Marble 10
Glenwood, but at the same time to
make visit to one of the greatest
marble deposits in the world.
The trip up the Crystal river, past
Redstone and on to Marble is one sof
especial scenic beauty and Glenwood
people are very fortunate to be located
so close to such beautiful surroundings
and those who have never yet seen
our neighbornig sister, Marble, should
take this opportunity to visit one Of
the most unique and remarkable cf
western camps.
The Marbleites are making all kinds
of preparations to receive and enter
tain their visitors and it is certain they
will DO everything just about right.
A big barbecue is planned in which
roast bear meat will be the chief arti-
Gle of diet. A trip to the marble
quarries and mills will be an import
ant feature of the days program.
Concerning the request of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce that Glenwood
be represented by float in the big in
dutsrial parade to be given in that
city on July 10, the Board of Trade
decided not to participate in that. but
to refer the matter to the town coun-l
ell.

PosToFFICE FORCE BUSY

Postmaster Thorson has just made "a
report to Washington of the work of
his Office for the month of May, during
which time a careful and exact count
was kept Of the number of pieces of
mail matter handled in the Genwood
Office.
That the local force finds plenty of
work to do and is not troubled with
ennui because of enforced ideness
may be imagined when it is stated
that the number of pieces of outgoing
mail handled during the month was
46,6S4 and the number of pieces of
incoming mail was 59,975.
The receipts of the Office for the
months of April and May exceed those
of the same months in 1910 by $l2S.

ENFORCE THE ORDER

The Post is in receipt of communi-
cation from a Divide creek ranchman
enclosing the recent warning published
by the board of county commissioners
conserving farmers allowing waste wa
ter to run across and damage the roads,
and the writer states that the county's
representative in charge of the roads
in that vicinity has recently passed
over a road in bad condition and run
ming full of water and that he made no
effort to abate the condition and run,
which the notice and warning of the
county is directed. The Post will not
publish the article in full, but we give
the above hint as to the accusations
in the hope that some good may result.

The San Luis valley exhibit in Janu-
ary created unusual interest here. and
in October it will be one of the big
features of the show. To illustrate the
benefits received since January AL
fred Patek, of the Colorado State
Board of Immi grafton, reports that 4
minimum of 100000 of sales of Colo
RADIO lands are traced directly to the
advertising CLEANED through the me-
dium of the Omaha Land Show. Near
ly every section of the eastern slope
will be exploited here in October.
Mr.. Paisley, who has just returned
from tour of several of the western
states. says that everywhere he went
he found basic conditions wonderfully
solid, largely because the era of de-
velopment is beginning to dawn, and
the speculator is being crowded out of
the field. He is enthusiastic over the
crop conditions. which will insure a
prosperous season, and finer land dis
plays than have ever gone out of the
west.

posroFF1cE TO CLOSE SUNDAYS

Beginning July l the carrier and
general delivery windows at the Glen
wood postoffice will be closed all day
on Sundays.
The new order was fixed but recent
ly and the date fixed for putting it
into effect was on the suggestion of
Postmaster Thorson made July l N
order to give the people as much notice
as possible concerning the new ar
rangements.
Mail will be distributed Sunday
mornings as usual in all lock boxes and
the outgoing mail will be made up
and sent out as heretofore, the dit
ference being that neither the general
delivery or carrier windows will be
opened during the day.
This means that no hardship what
ever will be worked on those who rent
lock boxes at the office as their mail
will be distributed just the same as
formerly. Others who may be expect
ing mail to arrive on Sunday and very
anxious to receive it may deposit with
the postmaster during office hours On
pected and the letters will be delivered
to the persons address on Sunday un
der special delivery stamp. In case
the expected letters do not arrive the
money deposited will be returned to
the party on Monday
The new order is made in order to
give the clerks and carriers chance
to enjoy day of rest like the bal
anee of humanity. The new arrange
those faithful public employees who do
not now have much opportunity to en-
Joy bit of rest and recreation.
4 And now Mr.. Patron of the Glen
wood Springs postoffice, just have a
little patience and good naturedly ad
iust yourself to the new order of
things and you will very soon think it
is all right. At all events whether you
like it or not it is somewhat like the
regulations of the forestry system ana
.pther government arrangements, it :s
the fiat of Uncle Sam, and we might
just as well adapt ourselves to it and
look pleasant. The Post believes that
the new order will be received with
general approval by the patrons of
the Glenwood office.

| have very much needed law which
| fications in country teachers, and the
new law will probably do that in time,
but it seems that it would have beel
but simple justice to the teachers to
have given them reasonable notice and
reasonable time in which to meet the
requirements and this has not been
done.
Just what will be the outcome of this
"Thou shalt and thou shalt not leg
islation is hard to guess, but it is wor-
rying the state superintendent and the
county superintendents not little to
know how they can get through the
first year without working too great
boards. Just now it looks as though
many teachers will be absolutely dis
qualified and prevented from teaching
while some districts may be obliged to
go without teachers or import normal
trained teachers at much higher wages
than they have been paying. We shall
hope that it may not prove so serious
as this, but just at this time school
officers are very much in doubt.
The measure which is causing all this
trouble is House Bill No. 81 which
amends sections 1891 and 1894 of the
Revised Statutes of Colorado relating
to the examination of teachers. The
first numbered section, as amended,
provides that an applicant must be at
least eighteen years of age and have
completed four years high school
course or its equivalent; and, in add
tion to the subjects for examination
now specified, agriculture, horticulture
and American literature are required
horticulture for second grade certiti
cate. The latter section provides that
no first grade certificate shall be grant
ed unless the applicant has had at least
eighteen weeks of professional train
ing and three terms of not less than
six months each of successful teaching
experience; and no second grade certif
cate, without at least twelve weeks of
like training and two terms of not less
than six months each of like expert
ence; and no third grade certificate,
without at least six weeks of such
training or one year of such expert
ence; and, presumably, for the purpose
of making such training schools acces
sible to ALL House Bill No. So was en-
acted to amend the present normal in
stitute law by dividing the state into
six normal school districts. and pro
viding for term of not less than six
weeks summer school in each district
for each year.

TRENT WEEKLY
MARKET LETTER
Honolulu, MAY 26. 1911

The sugar stock market has ruled
arathetic throughout the week with
trading cohfiened to the popular is
sues and of small volume.
There seems to be lack of avail
able funds for investing and a desire
to buy sparingly. This condition is, of
course, of periodical occurrence on
all stock exchanges and the tendency
of the market during such times is
usually toward a general shrinking in
values. At the present time this is
noticeable in Eva, which changed
hands today at 80, while the last pre-
vious sale was made at $3.50 Oahu
sold recently at $50 rs and today a
transaction was made at $50 per share.
The price of raw sugar has remain
cd nearly stationary for several weeks,
consequently, the market has not bene-
fitted from the usual speculation that
follows any change in the price of this
commodity.
Two transactions in Hawaiian Agri-
cultural stock on basis of $3.50 per
share deserves mention, for the last
previous sale was made at $3.50. The in
crease is due to the larger acreage to
be harvested, assuring a considerable
increase in tonnage over last year.
The market closed as follows:
Eva $S1 rs bid for a small lot, with
offerings at 1872
Oahu $50 bid, $50 25 asked
H. c. & S. Co., $3S. rs asked with nc
buyers.
Waialua is steady at $11S.5O bid;
STA asked.
Pioneer $2OS 90 bid; $2O4. so asked
Olaa $4.375 bid; $4.625 asked, and
McBryde Sc 25 bid; $6.75 asked.

THE pIscovERER OF wAvERLEY

One of the very first persons to
identify Scott as the author of "Waver-
ley" was Jeffrey. The novel, which APP
peared in July, 1914, was reviewed in
the Edinburgh Review of the following
November, No. AZ, and the concluding
sentences of the notice are worth re-
calling:
There has been much speculation,
at least in this quarter of the island,
about the author of this singular per
Torrance, and certainly it is not easy
tc conjecture why it is still anony-
nous. Judging by internal evidence
TO which alone we pretend to have ac-
cess, we should not scruple to ascribe
it to the highest of those authors to
whom it has been assigned by the sa-
gacious conjectures of the public, and
that at least we will venture to say
that if it be indeed, the work of an
author hitherto unknown Mr.. Scott
would do well to look to his laurels
and rouse himself for a sturdier com
petition than any he has yet had tc
encounter. "-ScOtsma

MORE CHEERFUL
BUSINESS TONE

Bradstreet's for May 10, reviewing
the business situation says in part:
Better weather with high, in fact
midsummer, temperatures has helped
retail trade, which has shown improve
ment at most large centers. This
fact, coupled with more favorable crop
conditions, has made for a rather more
cheerful tone in jobbing and wholesale
lines, but as yet retailers or final
distributors stocks seem ample. In
fact, reduction sales are in evidence
rather earlier than usual, and the net
gain in jobbing sales is slight, though
a continuance of present weather and
crop conditions seem bound to be
reflected in a renewed call for season
able goods. Collections are not much
changed from earlier reports, ranging
from slow to fair. From the leading
industries there is little new or inter.
esting. The Pacific coast lum-
Der industry is reported dull and low.
er prices rule for raw material. In
the furniture trade some western
manufacturers are reported contem
plating curtailment. Existing prices
for farm products and uncertainty as
to effects of reciprocity are said tc
be at the bottom of the reported hold
ing back of orders for steel bars by
implement manufacturers Wool is
dull but steady as a whole. Buying
at the west is limited, but while par
of this is due to tariff uncertainties
the shearing season is reported latel
than usual Crop reports of the weel
are mainly good. + Indeed, the
strength and activity in the leading
commodity markets are in rather
striking contrast with the dullness anC
slight changes in the security markets
which, though firmer, still lie undel
the incubus of uncertainty regarding
political and economic developments
Money is still accommodating in the
hanks, a reflection of restriction il
trade and industry, and banks arr
still buying bonds. Export trade il
foodstuffs still shows expansion, Will
cotton shipments, after a lull in Marcl
and April, are expanding slightly.

OIL BUSINESS
ON SOUND BASIS

San Francisco Chronicle, May 90:
Dizziness still prevails on the local Oil
Exchange but values maintain good
undertone and the sales, though small
in volume and few in number, are
generally at well sustained figures.
Buyers purchased sparingly and hold
ers are not offering freely
The large gushers of 1910 in the
California oil fields have attracted the
attention of the world to CALIFORNIA;
greatest industry. 1t is reported that
Europe's oil combination, together
with groups of foreign and Eastern
capital, are endeavoring to get foot
hold in the State. This points to a
general extension of the business in
the immediate future and denotes in
creasing prosperity. The industry in
California is now, admittedly in a
more healthy condition than it has
been since the discovery of petroleum
within its boundaries. The fear of
serious overproduction that followed
the bringing in of the gushers that
have now passed into history and that
for time threatened the stability of
the oil industry has passed. The Mw
of supply and demand is nearing a
balance, with the future holding indi.
cations of a demand greater than the
supply on this coast.
1t is the conclusion of those having
the greatest knowledge of the oil in.
dustry that the producers should car.
'ry from six to twelve months supply
of oil above ground for customers. il
has been the policy of other industries
to keep supplies ahead of the demand
and oil men are now beginning to see
the wisdom of this policy. There was
never time in the history of the oil
business when it was on a firmer ba
sis, and it is now in the hands OF
strong men, capable of meeting any
emergency that may arise.
Experts of oil statistics in this state

and demand of oil shows that the higF
peak of production has passed anC
the line is dropping again, going di
rectly toward the consuming line
which is on a steady upward curve
and it is only matter of a short tim,
before these two lines will come tc
gether. The tables also show tina
there is now in storage only 100 days
supply ahead of consumption. A SUP
ply of sufficient magnitude to permi
