Educational Topics Discussed.

The first Teachers Institute under the
new County Superintendent y. O. Barr,
was hell in the High School Building in
Salem, last Monday. The addresses were
excellent and showed how educution Cal.
be advanced in the county.
Fred L Keller, of Michigan, showed
that the West is ahead of the East in
some lines Of education, especially in
rural districts. He said there should be
a closer relation between the home and
the school. A work shop should be in
every school to teach boys things which
can be done OH the farm. 1t need not
cost over 500. Girls should be taught
things done in the home.
The reason boys quit the farm is be-
cause they are given an education about
things which leads their minds away
from it and they are not given an
interest in the crops. In the West
there are school gardens and corn clubs.
At one place the high school pupils rent
ed on old orchard for one-third the crop.
By their care and spraying the trees they
made 500. Farms should not only pro-
duce the necessities and comforts of life,
but the Injuries.
Charles II. Keyes, of New York City,
told how Industrial Training can be
adapted to the present school methods.

the persons as lawyers, preachers, book

have what will help the farmers. The
sage brush land in the West has been
made worth $500 an acre by certain till

California, if the boys and girls were

San Rafael, Cal, Aug. 22.-Elec-
tocuted by heavily charged wire
just as he was about to attain sue
cess, James B. Clifton, serving a
life sentence at San Quentin for the
attempted murder of Captain of De-
tectives St., Clair Hodgekins in Oak
land in 1909, early today was only
prevented from escape by sudden
death.
The prisoner was sliding down
the wire leading from the prison
sash and door factory to "a pole out
side the prison walls, by means of a
sling arrangement formed by a
broomhandle and two ropes, when 1t
is supposed he lost his balance and
in advertantly grasped the wire. A
charge of 1000 volts caused instan-
taneous death, and the body swung in
the air until the guards discovered
the escape, turned off the power.
Then the body fell outside the
prison walls.
Clifton was tuberculosis patient
confined in the hospital ward. Be-
cause of this fact he was enabled to
plan his escape with more certainty
of success. Every step had been
carefully thought out. The prison
er had fashioned am old pair Of
trousers out of a blanket to hide the
stripes. For weapons against any
one who might halt him, he had
manufactured an imitation pistol

Flremen Do Heroic Work.

When Mrs. McDevitt discovered
that her home was on fire, she be-
came paralyzed with fright and she
owes her life today to Henry Schultz
and Geo. Beacon, members of the
Yew Park fire team, a team which
did most splendid work in fighting
the fire both at the factory and at
the McDevitt home. When the two
firemen arrived upon the scene, a
girl who was staying with Mrs. Nc
Dewitt, came running out of the
house saying that Mrs. McDevltt was
inside. A portion of the building
was then a mass Of flames. Enter
ing it they found the aged lady in
side of room enveloped with smoke,
clinging to a bird cage with several
canary birds in 1t, and her first ap-
peal was for the flremen to save
them. They picked up the aged lady
from the bed where she was sitting
and also the bird cage containing the
birds and saved both.
