PRESIDENT WILSON
ALWAYS CLOSELY GUARDED
BY United Press.

| WINDSOR, VT. July 15.-Few per.
sons realize today, not even the ma
, tives OF this section, how carefully the
president was guarded on his recent
visit here. It was officially denied
that any extra or unusual precautions
were taken, the third time the presi-
dent has occupied "Harlakenden
House" as a summer residence. But
there was a young army of secret SER
vice men on guard day and night.
IS. S."-as the secret service is
known-headquarters were maintain
ed in room in the village postolfice
in this city. Private telephones con-
nected the presidents home and the
secret service operatives also had a.
private phone system. They worked
ill shifts, taking turns pa;rolltng the
grounds of the Harlakenden estate
during the night
Lee" Murphy, chief OF the white
house squad, was in charge of the
presidential bodyguard here. Extra
operatives. in addition to the regular
white house force. were brought from
Boston and New York.
Chief Flynn, head of the secret SER
vice. personally supervised measures
taken for protection of the president.
He came here several days in advance
of the president and was also here
when the presidents train pulled in.
In addition to the known dozen IS. S.
men it is understood there were 9TH
ers here unknown, some possibly even
to the regular staff.
The secret service men had special
automobiles to follow the president on
all his drives through the surrounding
mountain country. Joe" Murphy sat
in the presidents own car and another
loaded with operatives trailed closely
that containing the chief executive.
On the country drives, no automobiles
or team were allowed to pass the presi.
dent from behind. This rule, while
known in Washington, was quickly
learned by persons driving vehicles
in this section.

The strike in the Sweepstakes mine
at Bullion has turned all eyes toward
the Nevada Bunker Hill. another Bul

1t is now only question of time till
the latter reaches the Tripoli vein
now perhaps less than 500 feet away.
The tunnel is now in 1000 feet and
the Gurvcy shows that the Tripoli IS

The tunnel is now making 80 feet Il

per foot. This is remarkably low

The Nevada Bunker Hill is not Il

mine. There are six sets of leasers
and three of these are shipping ore.
The owners of the Key lease on
this property this week shipped their

COUNTY NORMAL
TRAINING SCHOOL
Miss knemeyer Shows Why EIko
Should Have one-Year Normal
Training School
To the Public:

Eiko county has not yet made ust
OF the advantages offered by the stat,
for the maintaining of one-yeal
county normal training school. There
are young people in the county whC
are ambitious to teach but have no.
the necessary training to be granted
a certificate. Many of them for diff
ferent reasons cannot spend two years
at the Nevada State Normal to gel
such training. To such the county nor
NAL offers splendid opportunities fol
special training in practical methods
of teaching.
A county normal school can be es
tablished and maintained in Elko
county, provided that there are five
bona f1de applicants for normal train.
ing courses in such a school.
The object of the county normal is
the training of the Nevada teachers
for the Nevada schools. There are
several such county normals in Ne
Vada and the fact that the graduates
are making good is evidence enough
that only thoroughly trained normal
instructors are given charge OF this
work.
The course of study includes the Sc
ence of education, practice teaching
in the grades, observation of the class
room work of experienced teachers, a
thorough review of all elementary
branches, and a careful study of the
best methods used in the presenta-
ton of elementary subjects.
Any graduate of a county normal
Is granted n second grade certificate
valid for three years, which entities
the holder to teach in any element
ary school in the state. Also, gradu.
ates are admitted to the second year
of the Nevada state normal and can
ordinarily complete the state normal
course in one year. This arrangement
should be an incentive TO many teach
ers who are working for first-grade
certificate and who cannot now spend
two consecutive years at the state
normal.
Any graduate of an accredited high
school or any teacher who holds a
primary certificate will be admitted
to the county normal without eXami-
nation. Others will be required to
pass an entrance examination which
will include all subjects taught in the
high schools as provided by the laws
of the state.
There must be at least five appli.
cants for a normal training course be
fore the state board of education can
grant permission to establish and
maintain an Elko county normal
school. The county must furnish a
suitable room but the state pays the
normal instructor.
The advantages to be gained from
such course are innumerable and the
young people of Elko county ought
to carefully consider such an oppor
tunity.
am very much Interested in the
establishing of such a normal train
ing school in Elko county and should
like to correspond with anyone who
is planning to teach and who cannot
attend the University or State normal
Anyone considering the plan should
write to me at once, SO that l ma!
have ample time to make arrange
ments for the opening of such a s6hoo
in September.
