81, SENIOR.

Several well paid teaching positions
in Latin-America open to Americans
will probably be filled by men from
other countries because of lack of
trained men in the United States with
a speaking knowledge of Spanish, ac-
cording to Mr.. l.. A. Kalbach, chief
clerk of the bureau of education. On
several occasions lately, Mr.. Kalbach
points out, the bureau of education,
at the request of the state depart
ment has secured the country in
search of educators for responsible po-
sitions in Latin-American countries,
only to find generally that those who
might qualify in other particulars can
not speak the language.
The American minister to Panama
recently asked the United States gov
ernment to recommend candidates for
positions as professor of industrial
arts, professor of agriculture, and
professor of veterinary medicine in
Panama. Salaries up to $2,40O and
other inducements were offered. The
bureau of education communicated
with various institutions and organi-
cations that usually have lists of
available candidates, but in this case
the response was meager, because of
the language requirement. "None of
our industrial arts experts speak
Spanish" wrote an officer of one of
the best known teacher training in
stitutions. Others declared that while
they knew of men who would meet the
requirements, so far as professional
attainments and teaching experience
were concerned, they knew of none
who had the added requirement of
Spanish.
The password to many an oppor-
tunity ter young men is the ability
to answer the question "Habla usted
Espanol?" in the affirmative and
students will find it worth their while
to acquire this knowledge.-Saiina

THE INSTITUTE AND FORT
LEWIS.

The idea Of holding district insti-
tltes at Fo.t Lewis is certainly
splendid one ard should be followed
every year. During the writer's visit
we did not hear a murmur or dis
corGcnt note Of dissatisfaction. The
place is centrally located and this
makes it equitable in way of travel
and expense for the teachers of the
various counties. The leading rea-
son why Fort Lewis should be Sc
lcctcd each year lies in the fact that
the time and attention of every one
is completely settled on the work.
From the time the institute opens
until the closing hour there is moth
ing to distract the mind. The teach
ers started in early and put in every
moment until bed time. Going direct
from the dining room in the morning
there was no cessation, outside of the
noon recess, and again for supper,
every evening being devoted to the
work. While the instructors were
worked somewhat harder than usual,
putting in more hours, they appeared
to enter into the spirit of the occa-
s;or and enjoyed every moment. In
stead of adjourning over Saturday
the work continued, thus enabling the
program to be completed day earlier.
"Fort Lewis is the most ideal place
for holding an institute have ever
seen," said Miss Shoe, ex-president
OF the State Teachers association and
engaged in institute work over the
state and who occupied a leading
role as instructor. II never enjoyed
myself better or took greater interest
in the work. No entertainments,
shows. dances, ETC., to take ones mind
off the subjects discussed which were
specially beneficial to those attend
ing. I had never visited this part of
the state and when asked OF come ac-
cepted with pleasure and / am so glad
that ] was able to do So" The COM
mendation of Miss Shoe applies to all
with whom we talked, except that
Miss Shoe was probably more en-
thusiastic. Under the superintendency
of Mr.. Snyder every one was made
to feel at home.

CUT 1T OUT.

If a certain state official will heark-
en- to word of kindly advice, he will
quit telling the world that some of
Colorado's educational institutions are
liable to be closed for lack of sustenta-
tion funds. Even admitting as true
his published declarations, it is hardly
in line with the proper spirit of state
loyalty to scatter broadcast the news
of whatever shortcomings we may
have inherited. There are lots of
ways and people to hurt state and
its financial standing, but we do not
care to see state official enrolled
in the number.
The place for such undesirable data
is in the vaults of the auditors of
flee. Eastern newspapers grab those
morsels and use them to the disad-
vantage of the state. They do not
know or care that Colorado is paying
off accumulated debts of years and
that this is the only reason for the
apparent shortage in state funds. If
the state had continued this year, as
in the past, to allow some future ad-
ministration to liquidate the outstand-
ing Indebtedness, this official would
not have any reason to protrude his
criticisms into the public view. But
the state is paying old debts on lin
tied revenue and that is all there is
to it. Plain business and honest deal
ing.
We have had entirely too much of
this sort of unwelcome advertisement.
We hear nothing of its kind from off,
cials of other states. There is a time
and place for everything, but Colorado
is not the place and this is not the
time for publishing to the country
that we are unable to keep our edu-
cational institutions going for want
of financial support. Cut it out

A just rebuke to the noisy auditor

The decision of the highest court
of the land that states may make
rates for railroads, following the re-
cent Minnesota case, is bigger step
towards government ownership than
Bryan took when he returned from
his trip around the world. We seem
to be drifting to that end, and when
it comes people will be bowling for
the good old times. E. W. Howe, in
his travel letters, has made it plain
that the government owned railroads
in Australia and New Zealand do not
compare in any way with the leading
American railroads, and that rates
are higher.

The following from the Cortez jour
nal may appear rather harsh but there
is much truth in the statement: Late
statistics show an alarming increase
of insanity. Indeed our own asylum
at Pueblo is overflowing, so much so
that patient is waiting around our
court house for vacancy in the state
institution. The same report comes
from other states, the harmless pa
tients being farmed out to private
care to make room for the violent.
At the present rate of increase it
will need but little over two hundred
years to put the whole earth in the
madhouse. And when we note the as
sault being made upon the nervous
systems by our young men by tobacco
and other evil habits the percentage is
not liable to diminish. But mothers
are often to blame for the intem-
perance of boys. The lad has daily
witnessed her devotion to her tea or
coffee, without which she has gotten
herself in a condition where she "just
can't Sleep or has a fearful head
ache And sometimes you will see
her wear the temperance ribbon!

A three-week itinerary and the al

probation at 6 per cent, $450, 900, and
the annual overhaul $15O,O00, with

This Is better return than most
railroads can show. But, obviously.
the Germans, from their practical
knowledge of the Atlantic shipping

THE MORALS OF TRAVELLERS.

Former Mayor Robert +. Speer of
Denver, in an address on Sunday
evening in one of the Denver churches,
made the rather striking statement
that THE cause Of Christianity in
the orient is hurt by the tourists. y
Mr.. Speer has recently returned
from trip around the world and
made the above observation as a re-
suit of what he had seen on his trip
He further amplified the statement
in this language:
Tourists do much to hurt the cause
of Christianity in the orient. Half
of the tourists in that country have
no religion, and the majority of the
rest leave their religion at home when
they begin a trip abroad.
"The oriental can understand our
religion less than we understand his
A good Mohammedan cannot compre-
hend how anyone protesting to be re-
ligious can drink Intoxicating liquors
for the Koran expressly forbids this
They have stock phrase for this:
Only bad Mohammedans and Chris
tians drink whisky"
1t seems to be an unfortunate, but
nevertheless true condition, that peo-
pie often forget their religion as well
as their morals and their home train
ing when they go a-touring.
Men who are perfectly responsible
and respectable citizens in their home
cities seem to have desire to let
the bars down when they go travelling.
We do not know whether this is psy-
Geological factor in the human make
up or not. 1t may be in line with
what William James, the great psy-
chologist, suggested, in an article pub
lished some time ago that there is
in every person an inherent desire,
ofttimes long repressed, to Ego on a
spree" 1t may not be liquor spree,
but it may take the form of joy rid
ing, or horse racing, or desire to
see the underworld. 1t may be what
some of our religious friends would
call "the old Adam" cropping out.
But, be that as it may, the obser-
walton Of most persons is that the av-
erage traveller is not very prone to
let down the bars and not hold him
self to as high moral or intellectual
plane as when he is at home among
his own townsfolks; and hence, as Mr..
Speer suggests, he is not very good
advertisement of the institutions Of
his native land.-Colorado Springs

Initiated and referred measures will
cost the state another big sum which
means additional los) to the educa-
tional institutions Of the state. The
legislature last winter gave no heed
to the voice of thf people as ex-
pressed at the polls and this will un-
doubtedly continue to be the case.
Selfish interests have bills referred
in order to gain time as it seems
an easy matter to get men and wo-
men to circulate petitions as SO much
per. We do not complain of this as
it is matter of dollars and cents
to them, If they would declare them
selves and refrain from signing a
single one it would be blessing to
the state.

REVIEW OF THE FORT
LEWIS SCHOOL INSTITUTE

The following highly interesting re-
view of the institute at Fort Lewis
was prepared for The Herald for Fri
days issue, but was addressed so it
went to Mr., Raymond, R. F. D., hence
the delay. The facts brought out,
however, are just as valuable and will
be found worth perusal by every
reader of The Herald whether fol-
lowing educational work or not.
(Communicated.)
The teachers institute at Fort Lew
is closed ten-day session yesterday.
Principal G. F. Snyder of the Fort
Lewis School of Agriculture was the
conductor of the institute and pre-
sented the subjects of history, agri-
culture and school management.
Mrs Cozine of Pueblo had charge
of the various phases of primary
work. Miss Ruth Tormahlin of Sill
verton gave the lectures and demon
strations on domestic science and do
mestic art, Miss Grace Ellen Shoe
of the North Side High school, Den
yer, presented arithmetic, English,
geography and school hygiene.
A teachers institute is to the pro-
fessional teacher what the newspaper
and magazine are to the general read
er, it helps to keep him in touch with
current educational thought.
History was taught to illustrate
what to teach and how to teach it.
For the lower grades where the men,
ory powers are most active, both Mr..
Snyder and Mrs. Cozine showed the
value of teaching history through sto-
ries Of Indians, discoveries and pio-
neers. The foundation work in his
tory-fables, folklore, fairy tales,
myths and legends-afford the hap
piest field for the story teller. Heroes
and heroic deeds, important epochs
in civilization, progress of peoples and
of principles should be presented in
the most attractive forms of story,
narrative and literature. The chief
aim in teaching history should be the
cultivation of love for historical
reading, an abiding interest in the
achievements of races and of man, and
above all an intelligent patriotism.
In the higher grades history should
be taught so as to develop the judg-
ment, to give basis for understand
ing public affairs of today, to inspire
the pupils to become good citizens, to
develop the reasoning power and to
form taste for good reading. The
teacher will make use of textbooks,
reference books, historical novels,
poems and current events.
, Agriculture was taught in the in
stitute because it is believed that
children should be led to see that
farming is the noblest profession
there is. There is no occupation that
offers a greater field for experiment
tation and scientific study, no pro-
fession where a man is freer, or
healthier, or conditions are more IA
vorable for happy home.

FEDERAL BUILDING APPRO-
PRIATION REGULARLY MADE

For several days there has been a
rumor current that has caused much
concern among the business men of
the city. 1t was to the effect that
the appropriation for the Durango
federal building was omitted in the
bill that recently passed. Last night
at the instance of the board of trade,
Secretary George Raymond wired Sem
ator Thomas asking if it was true.
This morning Mr.. Raymond received a
message from the senator stating
that there was no truth whatever in
the report. Just who was responsible
for the story is not known.

THE INITIATIVE AND REFEREN

urging the people not to sign every
petition that came along to refer

or to initiate some measure like plac-
ing the milk routes or the banks un-
dor the provisions Of the public utility
