Need More TRAINING.

This is what one college president
says in an address: with the mul.
tiplicity Of subjects It Is only to be
expected that some anxiety may be
felt as to the results from p~resent-day
methods Of teaching. / must confess
there is some need for this sugges-
ton Of anxiety. Perhaps the pendulum
has swung too far, or We may have
discovered the correct scientific meth
cd of dealing with the subjects taught
In the elementary school. I feel con.
yinced that training Is not receiving its
fair share Of attention. There was
much wastage Of time In the past, but
the old.fashloned grinding was not
without Its good points, onessof which
was the cultivation Of the faculty Of
sticking to a task untilit was known

from the lower end of Superior Ave-

day night and found the old Yankee
Sullivan shack ablaze. On account OF
the shack being located down the
track some distance from the road II
was impossible TO get near enough
with the truck to warrant the use OF
the chemicals, so hose was attached
TO the hydrant on the north sioe OF
Superior avenue, just above the
tracks. and in a short time the boys
had a stream playing on the blaze.
The fire started on the inside and be-
fore IT was gotten under control was

LAND AGENTS BUSY
Over $50 Engaged In Real Estate
Business In Cloyerland

That there are 1856 persons and
firms in Glove rland selling upper pen
insula land. and twenty dealers living
outside the peninsula engaged in the
real estate business here, is the as
sertion OF George w. RowelI, Jr., man
ager OF the Upper Peninsula Develop
ment bureau.
Il secured these astonishing figures
through the members OF the bureaus
executive committee, county clerks
and real estate men themselves" said
Mr.. Rowell. 1T took six weeks time,
lots of worry. and several dollars
worth OF postage stamps to get list
of land selling agencies as near COM
plete as possible"
According to the figures. Menominee
county leads with forty-one land SELL
ing agents. This is due to the fact
that Menominee is the Gateway to
Cloverland," and many prospective
buyers who have no particular section
in view, visit that county.
Marquette is second in the list with
twenty men, owing partly to the wide
interests OF the Longyears. Delta fol-
lows with fifteen, Chippewa has elev-
en-; Houghton, ten; Dickinson, eight;
ontonagon, seven; Macklnac. six;
Iron, FIVE; Alger, four; Gogebic, three;
Luce and Schooleraft, two each; and
Baraga and Keweenaw, one each.
All Of these land selling agencies
are kept in close touch with prospec-
tive settlers through their own repre4
sentatives and through the develop
ment bureau. During the year scores
of inquiries reach the bureau regard
ing upper peninsula lands. These in
quiries are turned over to the land
agents for investigation.

BLAZE AT COUNTY HOSPITAL
Inmate Sets Fire TO Clothing and Was
Suifocated When Pulled From Room

The county hospital came near be-
ing the scene OF bad fire last Mon
day morning In the early hours and
had II not been for the timely and
active work OF one OF the inmates the
structure would have been burned TO
the ground.
Charles Laydon. about SO OF 20
years old, and who had been charge
at that place for the past two years.
caused the fire which ended his life
and nearly reduced the building 10
ashes. Laydon had been acting queer
ly the past couple of weeks but did
not give anyone OF the others in the
building reasons TO believe that he
was going to burn II down.
Early in the morning an old inmate
OF the place heard a noise In Laydon's
room, which was located In the east
wing OF the building He got up to in
yestigate and saw smoke issuing from
under the door. On pushing the door
open he found Laydon's body lying
stretched out near the door. He i'm
mediately pulled him out but 1t was
discovered that he had already died
from suffocation. II was found that
Laydon had piled all OF his own
clothes. together with the bed clothes
on a stand in the center or the room
and set fire to them. The stand and
clothes were all burned and the fire
was making a good headway on the
walls and ceiling when discovered.
An alarm was turned in to the fire de-
partment In this city, who responded
in fast time and soon had the blaze
under control.
Coroner Dawson held an inquest
over the body after which the remains
were buried in the local cemetery.
