DAVIS RESIGNS
AS DEP'Y CHIEF
LEWISTON POLICE

Lewiston, Me, Dec. 30.-Sheriff- elect
Davis of Androscoggin county will re-
sign as deputy chief of the Lewiston
police according TO statement made
by Mayor wiseman Wednesday, Dep
uty Davis has but one more day as
deputy and will assume the sheriffs
office at one minute after midnight
Thursday.
Much speculation has been aroused
as to whether Deputy Davis would re-
sign as deputy chief of police or APP
point q deputy in his place. The dep
uty has been silent on this point re-
Gently although early in the fall he
said that he didn't know what action
he would take regarding resignation,
He has not resigned as yet but
WILL" said the mayor.
He was appointed in April, 1913, TO-
a term of three years, leaving an UNI
expired term of a year and three
months.
Mayor Wiseman is not sure that
he can make an appointment that
will meet with confirmation by the
aldermen voting on partisan lines
The resignation of the Hon. William
B. Shelton, alderman from Ward one,
leaves the board three Fusion with
the mayor and three Democratic. The
vote would stand deadlock if politics
were adhered to. 1t Is for no thought
that the mayor could break the tie
by voting on his own appointments.
Mayor Wiseman said, however, that
in case he met opposition in having
an appointment confirmed that he
would appoint an acting deputy.

Assured

The county institute then declared it.
self in joint session with the state in
stitute. P. G. McWhinney was elected
temporary chairman of state Institute
Temporary treasurer and secretary
were appointed. After announce
ments a recess was declared to give
teachers opportunity to get acquain-
ted.
Supt. d. r. Jones of San Rafael,
Calf, chief instructor of the insti-
tute gave most interesting address
this morning on New Sermons from
Old Texts"
Fifty years ago." he said, "minist-
ers were preaching sermons from their
favorite texts of the Bible. Today our
ministers open the same Bible and
from the same old texts they preach
sermons so different that our grand
parents would be greatly astonished
to hear. Imagine a modern congre.
cation accepting the theories of a SER
mon of fifty years ago! The texts are
the same; the sermons are widely diff
ferent. They are new sermons from
old texts
School texts give the teachers a
basis for their lesson. The text is not
the lesson. The facts of history re-
main the same but the Interpretation
Of those facts in the light of modern
conditions and activities, has much
changed.
mo matter how old and stale your
text may be, preach a new sermon
from it!''
A fine display from the depart
ments of manual training and domes-
tic science is one of the features of
the institute. Woodwork, sewing,
basketwork, weaving, drawing.
Not SO many teachers present as
expected on account of the inconveni-
ent time. Many teachers are taking
this time for visits home rather than
attending institute. It is hoped by all
that the Institutes can be held earlier
in the year hereafter Teachers are
still coming in, however, from dist
ant parts of the county. There is a
fair representation from Eureka, Hum
boldt, and White Pine counties, be-
sides the Elko county teachers. There
are over 100 in attendance but the en-
rollment to date is considerable less.
On the subject of manual training
in high schools r. v. Thomas gave
very interesting talk on its history
and Importance.
Miss Artie Barley gave a very in
teresting talk on industrial training
as it Is carried on in grammar schools
At this afternoons session Mrs
Wheeler rendered a solo which was
greatly appreciated.
This was followed by very interest
ing and instructive addresses by Supt
D. r. Jones, Miss Gladys Lewis, Miss

ants for the coveted seat.
While it is unofficial, the vote is
