County hoo Letter

County School Letter
November thirteenth is being
looked forward to with much int
rest on account of the fact that the
county superintendent will be able
to meet all of the teachers in the
county on that.day.
Remember that it is not always
the best teacher who gives Uniform
ly high grades to her pupils. When
we find a set of reports where the
grades are all above ninety per
cent, we develop a strong suspicion
that something is wrong with said
teacher.
There are still q few teachers in
the county that have not sent in
their certificates for registration.
For the most part the offenders are
residents of the county. Please
bear in mind that every certificate
must be registered with the county
superintendent each year. s
During the past week certificates
of perfect attendance were issued
to Ferdinand Buechler Edith Mel
son, Clarence BEEN and Stephen
Pravecek. A large diploma was
issued to Arthur Sanborn. Silver
seals were issued to Frances Kre-
Der and Alice Mueller. Red Seals
we're given to Henry Nelson,
Frank Van Campen and Bonnie
Wander Lei. Clarence Lorash re-
ceived a Blue Seal, while Josie
Erickson received a Five Book GER
~tificate for reading library books.
No, teachers do not have to buy
their reading circle books, if they
can borrow them anywhere. The
point is, that the county superin-
tendent must have evidence that
the books are being read. Unless
this evidence is produced he cannot
issue the required certificate of at
tendance at the teachers meetings.
An ordinary five cent notebook is
sufficient and the best teachers will
write the most careful notes and
outlines and what is more, the
wide awake teacher will pur-
chase more than the two required
books for her reading course.
We have discovered that a great
many Of our readers are not irfor-
med as to the order in which
awards are given from this Office
for perfect attendance records and
are offeringthe list this week. When
q pupil has been in perfect attend

The greatest margin Of safety has been pro-
vided in the steering gear Of the 1915 Maxwell.
The Maxwell reversible steering mechanism Is
OF the expensive worm-and-gear type and its SUI
periority over every other type lies in its many
adjustments. At no time is more than a fourth Of
the bearing surface OF the gear which operates

When you buy an automobile you buy
two kinds of service. First:-The service
given and guaranteed by the car itself.
Second The service given by the maker
and the dealer while the car is in use.
The service the Maxwell Car gives is
known. $4,000 satisfied Maxwell owners
have given the car the rough and tumble acid
test of fully eighteen months service. The
Maxwell has shown that it is able to stand
up under the severest use. In cities, over
country roads, through mud and sand and up
the steepest mountains, the 1915 Maxwell
has made good for $4,000 owners.

COMMENT

LONDON, July 25.-In view of the
social and religious gulf between the
church of England and the non-con-
fOrmist churches, the decision of
the vicar of Wendover to give other
Protestant sects equal representation
in the parish magazine has excit-
ed wide comment in England. The
Anglican church does not join in
religious communion with the 9TH
err Protestant churches on the
ground they are not a part of the
original Catholic church and their
ministers are, at least in the high
church view, merely preaching lay
men. Moreover. the established
church is connected by blood and
sentimental bonds with the aristn-
cracy. But the Rev. c. o. Sharpe,
vicar of Wendover, not only invited
contributions from the Congrega-
tionalists, Methodists, Baptists and
other denominations, but publishes
their meeting notices in the WeRa-
over magazine.

Abel Dismissed

J. T.. Abel of Winnemucca for
many years a deputy superintendent
of public instruction and who op-
posed Jas. f. Bray for the latter's
position at the last election, has been
dismissed from the school system as
the result of Mr.. Bray's refusal to
reappoint him. According to all in
formation available, Mr.. Bray insti-
tuted charges against Abel before the
state board of education consisting
of Governor Boyle, President Hen
drick of the state university and
Bray. Abel voluntarily came before
the board and successfully defended
himself, receiving complete exonera-
ton. Upon the contention of Bray,
however, that he should be allowed
to name his own deputies, the board
refused to interfere in the matter.
Bray states that he did not think
Abel felt disposed to work with him.
It is understood that he took ex-
ception to Abel's statements and
actions.

NEVADA ENJOYING
GREAT PROSPERITY
STATE OFFICIAL SEES M
PROVEMENT IN MINING AND
STOCK RAISING

l.. f. Adamson. former bullion
tax collector and now secretary Of
the state tax commission, is in Win
nemucca on official business. He has
been in different portions of the
state recently. In a Nevada sense
he has seen things and with san
guine prediction speaks of a won
drous future for Nevada.
Wherever l have been 1 found

suits and utility services hat bring
reward and prosperity. - said Mr..
Adamson.
The mining conditions were new
a new fervor for legitimate devel-
opment and what is more the devel-
opment is proving the greater min
eral wealth in addition to the great
proven properties which now are
turning out more metal wealth per
capita than any other mining section
in the world. In clear and distinct
view, the mining situation for Ne
vada Is the best the state ver x
%perienced. Capital for development
is available for those who will put
it in the ground, but not one rent
for the sport Of spectators and high
livers.
"Of equal importance with the
mining development is the bringing
under cultivation of many acres of
land. This upbuilding influences
and secure strength for permanent
prosperity is noticeable in all sec
tons of Nevada. Essentially the
husbandman is prosperous, making
money and increasing Nevada's
wealth and population by leaps and
bounds. Equally prosperous and
successful are the cattle and sheep
interests. In no section or corner of
the state is there such a thing as
a wall from these people of hard
times or lack of market for their
commodities.

No Further Development

According to word recently re-
ceived from Winnemucca, there have
been no further developments in the
case of w. H. Forquer, who was
murdered at his ranch near Winnie
mucca last July 4. The two sus-
poets in the case, Mrs. Forquer and
James O'Donnell, are being held in
the county Jail pending a preliminary
examination. Mrs. Forquer denies
that she instigated the murder Of
her husband or ever limited indirect
ly hat she would make it worth
while for somebody to put him out of
the way. 1t is understood that the
state has strong circumstantial evil
dence against O'Donnell. Mrs. For
quer was taken into custody at Red
ding, Calf, a few days ago, to
which place she went after the trag-
edy.

WANTS VALUABLE
BOOKS RECLAIMED

ROME, July Is. - DIR. Carlo Fra
ii, a ~well-known authority on old
books and manuscripts, who has
been librarian at st. Marks library
at Venice as the Este of Modena and
at the Palatine at Parma, writes to
suggest that books which Austrian
authorities and princes have carried
away from Italy during the days of
their denomination should be re-
claimed and the onerous conditions
imposed when some of the books
were returned to Italy in 1869 by
the last duke of Modena, Francis v,
should be abrOgated.
From the state library of Modena
the late Archduke Francis Ferdi-
nand, as heir of the Este family,
took possession of the autographs of
the poet Tasso. At Vienna are to be
found the are manuscripts of the
Doge Marco Foscarini, carried away
from Venice and deposited in the
Palatine library at Vienna, while in
the private library of the late arch
duke are to be found the four most
precious illuminated codices of the
Este family, also from Modena, the
bible of Borso d"Este in two volumes
the Breviary of creole d'Este and
the Offices of Duke Alfonso. All
of these were kept back by the late
Duke of Modena when at the demand
of the Italian government he restored
some of the treasures he had taker
away with him when his kingdom
came to an end. Others were car
ried away by the Jesuits and present.
