part Of our school law is dependent
upon your votes at the next general
election.
Al present no professional tram
ing is required for certificates Of the
first, second and third grades. As
a result, teachers without requisite
training, without experience, and
with little or no thought Of the
meaning, method, or aims of educa
ton, may be, and in many instances
are, placed in charge of schools
Colorado has good reasons to be
proud of her schools and Of her
teachers; nevertheless, if she is to
keep pace with her sister states Der

fessional must not fall below theirs
To the present requirements for
certificates II. b. No 81 adds the
further requirement Of attendance
at q teachers training school--for q
first grade, eighteen weeks; for q
second grade, twelve weeks; and for
a third grade, six weeks.
At present the state is divided in
10 thirteen institute districts, in each
of which is held annually an insti-
tute of two weeks for the training of
teachers, supported by fee of one
dollar collected from each teacher in
attendance, and an appropriation of
two dollars for each teacher in at
tendance by the commissioners of
the county from which the teacher
registers. The chief objections to
this plan are too limited time for

faculty of teachers will be assisted

law by attending for period of SIX

the proposed plan with that Of the
present system of institutes clearly
shows the former to have two great
advantages: an economical but ade-
quate financial support, and time
and facilities for effective work.
Teaching is profession and the
preparation for it's practice should
receive, to say the least, some
measure of the emphasis now placed
upon the preparation required for
the practice Of law, medicine, dent
istry, etc This preparation will not
work hardship upon the teacher,
for salary is commensurate with skill
and preparation Finally, for the
whole people of the state, the ap-
proval of these bills will result in
better schools through more effective
teaching. Since the results are for
the common welfare your support of
the proposed measure is earnestly

The Non-partisan Judiciary Party is
founded to remove the courts from po-
litical strife. and to restore the conf
dence of the people in the administra-
ton of justice. 1t is not political. A
Democrat, Republican or Progressive
can vote for John X. Dixon, the Nom
Partisan candidate for Justice of the
Supreme Court, without impairing his
or her political standing.
The judiciary is the keystone of the
social fabric Upon it rests the per-
sonal safety of the citizen and the Sc
curity of mis- civil and property rights.
Its efficiency for the purposes for
which it exists depends upon the Judges
NOT only upon their learning and
ability, but upon their courage in
tegrity and Independence.
The most dangerous condition that
exists with us is the feeling of disre-
spect for the courts. Nothing has done
more to cause the people to lose conf
dence in their institutions, in their laws
and in themselves.
In no party can any candidate receive
the nomination, whatever his virtues,
his learning or his ability, unless he be
regarded as safe,-that is unless il is
believed that he will in the discharge of
his official duties reflect the views of
those who are responsible for his nomi-
nation. There can be no greater peril
to free people than this condition, and
the only remedy is an absolutely inde-
pendent non-partisan judiciary. The
Constitution should be amended so as to
require the election of all judges to be
held at time other than that for the
election of other officers, and nonina-
tons by political parties should not be
permitted. We hope to see such an
amendment submitted at the general
election of 1914
The independent candidacy of Judge
John r. Dixon for Justice of the Su-
prene Court is step in the right d.

the state regardless of politics, to make
