specimens and reading material
a small quantity of hyloplate and
much painted wall space. The
principal is State Normal grad
uate Of several years experience,
enthusiastic and capable. He is
giving the school work an agri-
cultural flavor that will be OF
great value to the community
One assistant is gradr ate of tn,
New Orleans City Normal, has no,
strong personality, hut seems
dependable and possesses better
than average skill. Two other
assistants have had about two
years at the Southwest Louisiana
Industrial; one of these holds sec
ond and the other third grade
certificates, and both are earnest
workers under serious handicaps
as to preparation for their work
another teacher has had several
sessions at the State Normal, is
earnest and capable. The prim-
ary teacher has had number OF
years experience, is devoted to
her work, and possesses better
than average skill as a teacher
There are two diplomas, one thir,'
grade, and three second grade
certificates held among the teach
ers. Four Of the six teachers
have taught in this school before
this session, one of them for fif-
teen years. The school. had en-,
rolled 217 pupils, of whom al
were present, representing ten
grades. The fact that two of the
teachers must work in the same
room without partition is very OBJ
jectionable. There was no ap-
paratus for the teaching of high
school subjects. Club organiza-
tons are strong and active. Chill
dren come from village and farm
homes in about equal proportion.
Steckler School.-Situated near
Bayou Teche about four miles
above Loreauville and three miles
from Prince School. The site
contains about half an acre, is
well fenced. was clean and neat,
and has few very fine trees.
The two open surface closets are
well located, but were in bad
condition. A good cistern sup
plies drinking water; individual
cups are used. The building is q
duplicate in every respect of that
at Belle Place; a canvas curtain
forms the partition between the
two teachers. There were enough
single patent desks, teachers
desks, recitation benches, about
fifty volumes in a sectional book
case, window shades, a Bell chart,
and quantity of cloth black
board. Thirty-seven of the sixty
enrolled were present. represent
ing seven grades; the programs
need revision. The principal is
State Normal graduate of a little
experience, serving his second
year here; he is quiet, apparently
lacks executive qualities, but is
a skillful teacher. The assistant
holds third grade certificate, is
without experience. is immature,
and consequently is doing under
average work. Children come
from farm homes entirely.
Corona School.-This school is
situated about three miles from
the Steckler School and little
further, if any, from New Iberia.

YOUTH RECEIVES
BULLET IN JAW

Morton Petit of Lodi, 16 years old,
has 22 caliber bullet in the right side
of his neck. He was using a target
revolver in keeping birds away from
cherry trees at his home. He drew the
revolver up by the side of his head,
when it discharged. The bullet entered
just in front of his right ear and passed
around the jaw bone, lodging in the
neck under the ear. The bullet is still
there, the doctor being unable to locate
it up to the present time. The wound
is not serious.

MANYPL ACES
ENJOY THE
DAY

All last week the weather for casters
of the United States predicted there
would be fair weather on Independence
Day all over thelcountry except Oregon.
On Sunday morning sleepers in this
vicinity awoke to hear the gentle patter
on the shingles and there were showers
of more or less violence all day, driving
many to cover who ventured forth Ia
machines. Many are now inclined to
believe it would be as difficult for a
forecaster to predict correctly as it
would be for youth on the Fourth Of
July to climb a CREASED pole with his
arms full of cells. Saturday and Monday
were fair. Baraboo was quiet but there
were plenty of places near by for TIA e
visitors to be entertained.

of the middle day Of the week was of
fair proportions, some Ito cars or

ago, and 1,645 the corresponding
day a year ago.
Conditions surrounding the mar
ket tor killing grades of cattle were
not radically changed from the pre-
vious day. supply at hand consisting
for the most part of medium to fair
native grassers and a sprinkling of
westerns. with a small showing of
fed kinds. Trade ruled slow, prices
about steady, exceptions weaker.
Stocker and feeder trade slowed
down and part of the weeks advance
was lost. Dealers have a big assert
ment of cattle in their pens and were
more anxious to move these than to
take on fresh supplies. Steer stuff
was quoted 10 a 15c lower, while
there was little change on she stuff.
Some stronger tone was evident in
the hog division today and for the
most part prices were quotable a full
dime higher. Choice lights were
forced up as high as $7.55, while the
bulk of the sales ranged from $3.50
to $50.
In the sheep and lamb department
packers operated on the same price
basis as on the previous day.

of Roberts and Kitchener by his capac-

sometimes failed. When In 1910 he

OF a man who had been for ten years
a private without any groundwork of
regular academic education should be-
come the director OF an institution
which gathers the ablest officers Of the
army for instruction In the higher
branches of wal and gives the charac-

Meantime he had kept on with his

be- a general agreement that his i'm

an epoch.
As director of military training at
