IN THE HIMALAYAS
Wilds Where the Peasant Eats His
Bread at Peril of His Life

I have just finished a journey which
must ever be memorable to me. For of
many appealing rarts of the world few
held such lure for me as the Himala-
yas, which lair in their recesses of snow
and forest some of the fiercest of earth's
creatures. Their naked peaks glitter 100
miles away, and their unfathomable raw
ines and forests even the Indian sun
leaves damp and cold. The trees are sub
lime in their profusion and in their beard
ings of mosses and creeper drapery, and
they throw out wildly eontorted arms
across immense CULTS in which the eagles
swim. Amid it all the narrow paths so
twining, now cinging to some precipitous
ledge, now cavng deeply into a hillside,
then coming out suddenly upon a corner
that dominates a depth of immense pro-
fundity in which the very air seems to as
sumo a tint of blue, says Arthurs Hewlett
in the Manchester Guardian. At these
corners cold winds come rushing by,
edging along the cliffs, and salute one

nor do many features which are applica-
BILE in the city schools concern those in
the country. So it is that while the lay
man merely notes that a county teachers
institute is being held in his county, those
who are familiar with Alabama's educa-
tional plan see deeper and appreciate the
fact that these teachers Institutes are
resulting in more systematic teaching,
more intensive school work and more
logical and business-lilse methods in all
school activities.
Programmes
The state department of education de-
sires these county institutes to conform
to one general plan, with variations to
suit each county and to meet local de-
mands. To that end the department has
published programme which outlines
the work to be done in each county Mon
day is the day for organization and on
Monday evening an informal social affair
Is to be given in order that the teachers
working in the same county may meet
each other and that a spirit of co-opera-
ton and comradeship may be introduced
into the institute as early as possible
The days following are devoted to the
routine work in grammar grade studies,
and to discussions of special TOPICS
Among the latter are better school attend
ance, better relation between the school
anu lne community, grazing the ScnOOlS
and round table talks on health in the
community; the duty of the county super
intendent to the teachers; the duty of the
teachers to the state, the community and
the children, and cooperation in school
work In these Institutes formality is dis
pensed with as much as subject at hand
and to share their experience and their
Views. There is time, too, during inter-
missions, for special help and for two or
more teachers to exchange material and
to help each other to obtain new seat
work-that greatest aid to the primary
teacher. Many teachers are grateful for
an opportunity to talk with the teacher
who will succeed them, or with the one
whom they will succeed, and first year
teachers who are unemployed and princi-
pals who have vacancies are glad to meet.
Perhaps no other one factor is doing as
much for the improvement of the school
as is this annual assembling of all the
teachers of each county for the purpose of
special preparation for the following
years work.

TO FURNISH GOOD UMPIRES
Fisher Plans Clearing House for
Arbiters of College Games.

Harry A. Fisher. graduate manager OF
athletics at Columbia, is the father of
plan for the appointing of a central
board Of officials which will look after
the appointing of umpires for college
baseball games. and, in fact, will serve
as a general clearing house for all affairs
Of the diamond.
The organization of the proposed board
will be similar TO that followed by the
football rules committee when IL ap-
pointed its central board Of officials. two
or three years ago.
In order that only experienced umpires
may be appointed it is purposed 10 place
the whole matter under the general
supervision Of the national commission.
which Will be asked 10 appoint or dele
gate one Of its own umpires to assist the
college men in selecting good arbiters
for their contests.
At the beginning il is Fishers idea TO
have only the big games umpired by men
appointed by this central board but ulu-
mately Il is his scheme TO have the entire
college baseball schedule looked after.
In this way 1t is believed that the In
competency OF college umpires, which is
so marked, will be eliminated, and only
men who are actually able TO administer
the laws Of baseball will be appointed.
