PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
MUST ATTEND NORMALS
Resolution Adopted by School Board
Affecting Local Teachers-New
Members Qualify; Officers Elected.

Some new rulings regarding the
qualifications of teachers in the pub
lie schools Of Brownsville adopted
by the school board at a meeting
held Tuesday night will have an i'm
portant bearing upon the qualifica-
tons of teachers in the city schools
hereafter.
These in effect require that all APP
plicants for positions as teachers
must have attended either a state or
summer normal institute for at least
six weeks during the two years pre-
ceding, and also that no graduates
of the public schools shall be en-
ployed as teachers in the school for
at least two years after graduation.
The meeting, which was held at
the home of the president, B. E..
Hinkley, was attended by the follow
ing members, in addition to Mr..
Hinkley:
C. M. Graza, secretary; j. T.
Canales, r. B. Creager and F. C.

of officers for the ensuing year. This

METHODISTS AND WORLDLY
ADJUSTMENTS.

Some people are in the way of
misunderstanding and a few are in
the way of disappearing, the ac-
tion Of the Methodist Episcopal con-
ference in the matter Of worldly
a~musements. 1t is not true that
that great body has withdrawn for
itself or it's communicates it's con-
domination of gambling in any of it's
forms. Nor has it withdrawn it's
condemnation of any kind of wicked
ness about which there is any doubt
in the mind of intelligent Christians.
There are certain kinds of
ments considered worldly" by many
people and considered harmless by
many other people. The question of
the harmfulness or harmlessness of
these things are matters of dispute
from Of old. 1t vas found impos-
sible to enforce the rules against
those rules in many communities. The
church has wisely, as we think,
abolished the rules. Yet in abolish
ing them it does not necessarily put
the stamp of its approval upon the
things once forbidden. 1t leaves
them to the enlightened consciences
of the communicates, under the wise
and enlightened direction of the
ministry. That is where they should
have left it in the beginning.

INCONSISTENT TO SAY THE
LEAST.

Some of Uncle Sans warlike ac-
lions seem a little inconsistent with
our pacific languague. For example,
when news like this comes from
far off Wyoming, we can not help
wondering what is going to happen
next:
Orders were received by the
Colorado and Southern Railway
today to seize all empty flat,
box and stock cars, no matter
to whom consigned, and send
them to Fort ID. A. Russell for
shipping horses and equipment
of the Ninth Cavalry, which is
expecting orders to move to the
Mexican border at any time.
"Thirty-fie stock cars have
been delivered all ready. 1t is
expected that fifty more will be
procured before morning. Scouts
from the fort have been out all
day rounding up the men,"
This is the sort of thing that
tends to agitate and worry the Of
ficials in Mexico. Few level-headed
people in this country either expect
or desire interference on the part of
the United States in the affairs of
Mexico. What is the use then of all
this absurd show of Communicating
cars for the transportation of soldiers
to the border?

Col. Roosevelt declares that all of
those papers which are not support
ing him for the presidency are either
subsidized or controlled by the bosses
or big interests" If this were true,
then by far the greater proportion
Of the American press would appear
to be corrupt, as very few papers
are supporting him.

An effect of the Titanic disaster
has been the passage of a bill by the
house to provide for the thorough
equipment of army transports with
life boats and other life saving ap-
paratus. The senate is expected to
pass the measure without delay. All
of which seems to imply a conscious
ness on the part of the powers that
be that this important matter has
been neglected heretofore.

THE GOOD EDITOR AND THE BAD
TIGER.
"a Fable.l

GA Fable.)
This is a story concerning the
good editor and the bad tiger. The
tiger was blind, but was nev-er-the-
less bad medicine. The good ed-i-
tor found out the place where the
bad blind tigers den was at.
(Which is not good English, but
Just plain United States.) The
good editor mus-ed Within himself
in manner following to-wit:
There is a man with a gun who
could perhaps Stay this fe-ro-cious
blind crit-ter. Yet if | mention
this tiger to the mar with the gun,
he will ask me to show him the place
where this tiger is at. Which is
what happened to me once before.
| do not want to be there when this
poor, violent, cruel blind critters
blood is shed, as he may have some
friends who would take it out on me.
But | will tell you what | will do.
| will put a piece in my paper about
the bad, blind tiger. Which will
make me looked up to and re-spec-
ted and will not hurt the poor
Moral: This teaches us that an
editor may have a fierce type
writer but a gentle, mer-ci-ful heart.

inette: There are four figures repre-
senting the four evolutions of Sher-
lock Holmes in the four social classes.
In the first figure the gentlemen ex-
amines furtively his partner with an
eye to stealing her jewelry. This in
ventory obliges him to make four
steps of a two-step, and then COM
mences the Sherlockinette proper.
The two partners stand facing each
are at the right of the lady. Sherlock
Holmes continues his inventory and
turns around the victim. Then the
two dancers separate so as to find
themselves standing side by side, after
which the man turns around his part
ner, passing under her right arm, and
the lady twines about and, around and
falls into the arms of her partner in
final pirouette.
In the third figure Sherlock Holmes
nurses his partner, jumping alter
nately on the toes of each foot. In
the fourth figure the dance finishes by
four steps of a two-step and eight
steps of gallop.
Though this dance has found favor
in Paris. it has rot become in the
least popular in London and is sure
to be displaced by the Louis XIV. Bos-
ton. which is being prepared for the
winter season and which unites in one
gavotte the minuet, the sarabande and
the Boston.
