 These facts were brought out to- day after Supervisor c. K. Harden brook and III J. Doulton, capitalist, who came from Santa Barbara to find out what the commission would do and had talked the matter over with them. The way in which con struction will be financed will be for the commission to buy the high way bonds from the surplus in the treasury The bonds will be adver tised for sale at once
 The people of Santa Barbara are eager to have the roads completed as the recent storms have left the roads in bad shape. except in that section of the highway which the county already has built

SUNDAY SCHOOL
 TEACHERS MEET
Field Secretary Delivers Three Addresses at the
 Special Phoenix Institute
 Meeting Yes t erd a y = Topic, Better Teaching"

At the First Methodist church yes ternational Sunday School associa ton field secretary for the south " est, conducted an institute with the general subject, Better Sunday School Teaching emphasizing the part that the teacher has in the work of the chief branch of the church. Meetings were held at 10:00 a. m, and 800 and S:15 p. m. At the morning session the character istics and qualifications of a success full teacher were brought out. The teacher must grow with the pupils of the class or the class should be passed on to q different teacher. The superintendent of the school must keep watch of the work, and if a teacher does not keep up with and ahead of the class, a change must be made in the interests of all con- cerned. This means that the teach CT must be trained to his work and must keep up his growth.
 The matter of teacher training was brought out in the afternoon session MT. Merritt first gave an address on The Art of Teaching-by Ilustra- tiOns.' He brought out the facts that the teacher should use objects, the blackboard. maps, charts, and other things that can be seen to teach the truths Of the lesson. From 75 per cent to S5 per cent of all knowledge comes through the eye: hence the Importance of usirg things that can be seen to teach the more abstract lessons Every illustra tion must be applicable, simple, and such as the pupil will remember The address was followed by a discussion of teacher training. The great ad- vance made in this branch of Sunday school work in the past few years was pointed cut. There are a large number of teacher training courses published at the present time and thousands of teachers are taking them and the standard of teaching is being raised all over the country by this. The inquiries made by those who made up the audience at the afternoon session showed that there was a promising interest in this line.
 The prayer mee ting services in the various churches, were dismissed about S:10 to allow all Sunday school workers, teachers and pupils to at tend the closing meeting of the in stitute at the First Methodist church Fully 300 persons gathered in the auditorium of the church to listen to Rev Merritts address on Soul Win ming in the Sunday School The chief business of the Sunday school is the winning of souls When they Gre won. they must be trained into lines of Christian service. The ad- Gress commanded the closest atten-
 ton of the entire audience, even though those in attendance already mad attended one service just prey ious. most encouraging interest ! and appreciation were shown.
 MT. Merritt goes tomorrow to l Florence, and then on to other points
 in the southern part of the state He
 is in the midst of a tour which i touches twenty-tWo points in Ari- zpra. Nc st successful and interest
 ing reports are given of the meetings

 Thus Orville Wright, one of the pioneer builders of heavier than air machines, answered the question today whether he would enter the lists with other aviators who declare that they will try a trip across the Atlantic in their machines.
 The machines as they are now built have not the staying power re- quired for a voyage this length, and under no circumstances will the en- zines hold out under the continuous strain of such journey.

The last legislature passed a
general road law allowing road
districts to be made and incor-
porated. The law is in essential
features similar to the drainage
district system. In brief, it pro-
vides that any section not exceed
ing Is miles long can be made a
road district on the application
of 20 per cent of the real estate
owners in the prescribed district.
Three commissioners are elected
to build the road, issue bonds
and fix the per acre assessment
to pay the interest on the bonds.
The bonds to run from 20 to 80
years at 5 per cent interest.
Those in the road district will be
exempt from all county road and
bridge taxes. This is wise pro-
vision and such taxes are proba-
bly, as much as would be assessed
under the road taxing district.
This law permits any community
to have a good road of their own.
We are inclined to believe the
plan is a good one. All may have
good roads where they want
them if they are willing to adopt
the plan. The amount of bonds
issued would depend on the cost
of the road. This can be determ-
ined in advance of the bond is
suance by the civil engineers
report on cost Of road.

The stand taken by the federal
Mexican troops at Ojinaga, a
naturally strongly fortified point
near the Texas line. after a
weeks fighting, succumbed to
the rebels Saturday night. Most
of the federals made their escape
across the river into Texas. They
claim their ammunition gave out.
1t now looks like the rebels hold
about all the northern territory.
Their next march will be south
toward Mexico City. The rebels
shot at once quite a number of
soldiers and officers who fell into
their hands. At present there
seems to be no end to the con-
flict, with advantages in favor of
the rebels.
