It's always a part of our "treat" to

extra work for the teacher, but it

Our faculty consists of eleven
teachers, of whom two are from
Virginia, the others from Arkansas.
In the public schools each grade
has teacher in charge, while in
the high school, three teachers
have charge of the work by sub
jects, although our system involves
some cred tape" yet it makes the
work really pleasant to both teacher
and pupil. In the morning the
teachers register the time of their
arrival, when they go TO their rooms.
At S:l5 the second bell rings, the
pupils are admitted to the grounds
and must go to their rooms, where
they begin their days work by
studying. The regular work be-
gins at S:35.
At the recesses and noon period
neither pupils nor teachers are al
lowed in the building except a hall
teacher on the first floor. Each
teacher has charge of certain part
of the playground, so that the child
rem are watched over during play as
well as study,
After school in the evening, the
athletic director must see that all
pupils are off the grounds before he
leaves.
One matter of pride to us is our
fire drill. By actual test our two
story building was cleared of 400
pupils in one minute and forty-fve
seconds. Everything was done IN
almost perfect order. We use the
same in marching out at intermis-
sions. The pupils march out two
abreast by grades beginning on the
first floor. They are marched into

SEES OLD WEST.
President Taft at BrOnchO Bust
ing Exhibition.
s'BilIy Taft'' Has No Trouble to
Throw His Rider.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 4.-PTesident
Taft saw bit of the old west today.
Cheyenne did not merely watch him
drive through her streets and listen
to presidential oratory, but frontier
day with bucking brOncos, wild races
and the stunts which abound in wild
west shows was repeated for the
presidents benefit. The rece ption
possible like that held few weeks ago
and 65 performers of all sorts appear
ed before Mr.. Taft In addition to the
show the presidents s program here in
cluded an automobile ride through the
city, a review of troops and ad-
dress in the local opera house. His
train is scheduled to make two more
stOps in wyoming today and should
reach Salt Lake City Utah, tomorrow.
Charlie Irwin, who ran the minia-
ture frontier day show for Mr. Taft's
benefit, had a program arranged with
some unusual features. IN the riding,
bucking and outlaw horses there were

Mr.. Taft stood with Senator War

half and watched the stunts
He shook hands with the busters
with Charlie Irwin and with his
daughters, who appeared in several
events.
The review of troops before the
frontier show brought out several
thousand soldiers from Fort D. A.
Russell.
In introducing Mr.. Taft to an au-

Warren said that he had come through
the fights for reciprocity schedule K

smiling, serene and with shoulders un-

confined himself largely to a discus

PLEADS SELF DEFENSE.
DIR. Harry Webster Changes His Muir
der Confession.

Oregon, Ill. Oct. 4.-Dr. Henry z.
Webster, under arrest charged with the
murder of his bigamous wife, Bessie
Kent Webster of Chicago. will attempt
to prove that he killed the woman in
self defense and that she had threat
ened to end his life on a number of
occs siOns. DR.. Webster spent the
early hours today studying newspaper
reports of his case and repeating
stories reflecting on the character Of
Bessie Kent Webster.
States Attorney Emerson was busy
today preparing to present the evidence
in the case to the special grand jury
which is now in session. He declares
that the case will be tried at the
earliest possible date.
In an interview DR.. Webster said:
Il went into this affair with her be-
fore I knew anything about it, One Of
my classmates had been living with her
and in the last of his senior year, three
years ago, he told me that he would
turn her over to me and told her the
same. She telephoned me and insisted
upon my coming to Oregon. Her voice
was sweet over the phone, but oh,
of that sound makes me mad.
Il got to living with the woman.
Then she wanted me to come and see
her every evening and if I did not go
she would come to the hospital after
me, tell the superintendent she wanted
me and would raise such a fuss that it
was fierce for me there all the time.
If she'd phone and was in the operat-
ing room, she would curse the. attend
ant who answered the phone
''She was a devil. I told her after
married and thought because there
were so many men mixed up with her
that ] could get out easy. Other men
got mixed up with women and got out
of it and I thought I could. 1 asked
her to please not interfere with my ca
reer because I had married a decent
woman.
'.Oh God, that little woman who has
got to live her life alone. Oh. I am so
sorry for her. I'm doing what she
wanted me to now That's my only
consolation. The last thing she said
to me up in the Hotel Grant. where we
stayed the night she came to Chicago,
peace with God We have been Chris
tians and if you did kill her. make your
peace with Him right here and nox
and then make it with your fellow
men
It knelt do-zn there and prayed. oh
my God, how prayed. She prayed
with me- I've made my peace with God
and am taking my punishment like Il
man. I won't weaken for a minute
Now If 1 could only make my peace
with her, if she'd tell me she loves me
and fOrgives me. 1 wouldn't care OF
they cut me to pieces"
A reported threat by Dr. Webster
that he would never hang, caused his
removal to another cell and a close
search of all his clothes today The
search failed to reveal anything
