| With the rapid development Of the vari-
Gus departments of educational progress
in America comes the problem of meet
ing the demands for the trained men and
women who compose the teaching force
of the country. Fully half million
teachers are now employed in the public
elementary school system of the United
States, while the enrolment of instruc-
tors in the colleges and universities. tech
nica1 schools, normal schools, public and
private high schools will reach at least
a hundred thousand more.
Because of it's larger numbers and the
fact that it deals with the greatest por-
ton of American youth, the training Of
the public school teacher for work is of
great economic value. With the broaden
ing of the public school curriculum to
include the elements of vocational train
ing along many lines comes the need
for more highly equipped teaching force
The lack of a sufficient number of thor
oughly qualified teachers is one OF the
greatest drawbacks to the progress or
education at present: A certain provision
has been made for the training of public
school teachers in the public normal
school, which in many places supplies a
gratuitous course of pedagogy designed
for equipping the teacher in the regular
common schools. Thus preparation for
the vocation is easier to obtain than that
FOR most cai.ings, but there are still nnt
enough properly prepared teachers to
meet the demand.

The announcement that there is no
probability of the old Rittenhouse man
sion being torn down will meet with gen
eral satisfaction. The house is in the
direct line of the proposed extension of

that it will be moved to land adjoining

But for this arrangement the building
of the q street bridge would necessarily
have been preceded by the demolition

We trust Coe ]. Crawford in the United
States senate for six years." he ask
amid applause. "Crawford don't like
the bill because he would have to get
down in the sawdust with the rest of
US, he would have to stand on merit
before the common people without his
machine to support him. Without the
patronage at bis disposal under the
present election system he would have
to step out of office for he has not ac.
eomplished anything for the public
good"
Mr.. Richards closed by pointing out
that the condition of society is far
from ideal when in the mines, mills and
factories of the east many people work
for starvation wages on behalf of men
who gather in dividends from watered
stocks and bonds; and that increasing
ly large sums are spent for insane asy-
lums and the care of the physically
and mentally unfit, while public schools
and the means for greater develop
ment in intellectual and material lines,
are given undue attention.
'The true progressives," he declared,
are those who are working for the uu.
building of popular government, and
rule by the masses, while the reaction
aries are those that seek to maintain
the present topheavy condition of
control by the "interests."

FUNERAL WEDNESDAY,.

Suffering death by his own hand.
Geo. Hiller's lifeless body was found in
pool of blood in his private room over
his saloon late Saturday afternoon by
John Brown, who had been sent up
stairs to call George whom it was
thought had gone there to rest for
short tlme When found the body was
cold and stiff he having committed the
deed it is thought some time during
the forenoon AS he was not seen after
about nine-thirty Of that day.
The news spread over the city like
wild fire and soon Coroner Marcoux,
Sheriff Jensen and Marshall Dornan
we're on the scene and had taken charge
OF the matter. Many visited the room
and we're sickened by the grewsome
sight which met their gaze. Sitting on
y couch with his body bent slightly for
ward, his hands part way suspended in
the air and q three inch cash on the
right side of his neck where all the
veins and arteries had been severed
with a pocket knife, with his blood
covering his clothing and dried OH the
couch and the floor, was all that had
once been one of the last men whom
any Of his friends or acqusintances
would have thought whould have oom.
mitted such deed.
Ill health coupled with business
worries was the cause he gave rs his
reason for taking his life in letter tc
his partner, g A. Hanson. The letter
which was found on table In the room
dispelled all thoughts of foul play ano
showed that the act had been planned
by him. The letter in part was AT
follows: "George A. Hanson. You acl

yourself straight. Sell the place anc
pay what owe. Give elk heads, dec
and mountain sheep heads to Leae

as possible, to have an outsider step in
and run up expense which from all ap.

dishesrtening and liable to make them

and steps will be taken by them to

where the county, as has been proven
beyond doubt, has been put to an en-

Establishment Of Free Delivery System in Hot

and the place being anything but com
pactly built makes it difficult to com.
ply with the postal requirements-the
sidewalks being neither continuous or
completed in front of all the houses
that expect to be given service. The
inspector found the sidewalk question
the only obstacle in the way of recom-
mending the establishment of the SER
vice. Just what will be done regard
ing it is problemstical. He found the
business section and lower town pretty
we'll covered with sidewalks-except
some residences where walks have not
been constructed and whloh will not
be supplied with free delivery of mail
until they construct walks. The other
districts, like College Hill and Evans
Heights, may be given mounted
carrier service because of the long dis
tance to be covered and the lack OF
sidewalks was a matter he would take
up with the department first. He
found the numbering and sign. boards
at the street intersection we'll and
properly done
The unusual early freezing weather
this fall was explained to the inspector
as one reason there we're not more side
walks completed and he was assured
that thefesumption Of their construc
tion would be commenced as early in
the spring as praoticable-bu it is
actual conditions and not promises
that are considered by the government
1t is hoped that every resident who
cares for the establishment of the free
delivery system will do his share toward
having sidewalks built where there are
none. The whole system may be de.
layed until more walks are built o.
possibly only the business district
and the residence districts where there
are continuous walks, may have the
service established. But do not neglect
to agitate for more sidewalks.

All day Monday was taken up in get.

the case from the particulars given at

damaging nature was forthcoming as
WAS intimated at by the prosecution at
the time of the preliminary and after
all the evidence was in Judge MoGee

mot guilty which was done.
This case has occasioned quite little
comment for two reasons. First, the
prominence of the accused and second
from the fact that our present states

brought to his notice for the reason as
