The Teachers Institute held on the
9Th and 9th was attended by a great
majority of the teachers of the coun-
lty and city, and most helpful ses-
sion was the result Many teachers
remarked that it was one of the very
best institutes held in the county.
The conductors, f. S. Hyer who
had charge of the work in reading
and spelling, and M. S. Welles, the
work in Physiology, Geography and
nature study, certainly gave the
teachers many suggestions that were
truly practical and presented them
in such forceful way that every one
was able to comprehend and appre-
ciate them.
Miss A. L. Dickson, from the Palmer
Penmanship Company Of Chicago,
spoke both at the evening and the
afternoon sessions, and demonstrated
how to teach the Palmer method Of
Fpenmanship. This most excellent
method of writing is to be adopted
in the schools of Rusk county, as it
is already being put into most of the
schools in our state and adjoining
states. 1t is plain, easy, and ex-
tremely practical. Teachers will in
form themselves as fast as they can,
and make themselves proficient with
the system, and their pupils will
quickly become interested and become
easier and better writer's in term
or less.
Miss Norman, Of Chippewa Falls,
addressed the institute Friday after
noon and evening on the subjects OF
Hygiene, Sanitation and tuberculosis.
In the evening she exhibited large
number Of views Of the work being
done by the Anti-tuberculosis society
of the state, making use Of stere-
opticon.
Principal B. M. Dresden, gave the
teachers an interesting talk on the
subject of "The Teachers Opportuni
ties
Agricultural Representative G. M.
Householder, also gave a practical
lecture on Potato selection, culture
and it's economic uses. He distri-
buted to the members of the insti-
tute mimeograph copies Of a Potato
judging Score Card for use in rural
schools.
It is hoped that each teacher will
make good use Of these copies for
their pupils the coming year.
At the evening session Superinten-
dent Rahr favored us with two vocal
solos in his usual excellent way, and
the same were much enjoyed by all.
A choice reading was then rendered
by Miss Ona Culver. Her interpre-
tation of the selection was excellent,
and she held the closest attention
Of all her hearers.
Complimentary mention is here
made Of the vocal music rendered
by the young ladies Of the Training
School under the careful direction Of
Assistant Principal Miss Leila " Par
,rey. Our thanks are rendered to
Ill who assisted in making the in
stitute the marked success it was.
Below we give the enrolment. II |

but when man is hunting a iion he doesn't want to fool away time on rab- bits. Five of the missing bags of sill yer were found in the servants boxes, but this made no impression upon the great policeman. The marquis must have put the bags where they were found, in order to throw suspicion upon the servants.
 The prosecution was pitiless and brutal, and the lieutenant general of police seemed to dominate everybody and everything. The marquis protest ed his innocence, and was ordered toE the torture, but no physical agonyt could draw from him confession of guilt. He was convicted and sen. fenced to the galleys for life, and presently set forth on his mangled limbs, as a member of a chain gang bound for Toulon. The story of the persecution of the d'Anglades seems more like a chronicle of the dark ages than a record of modern hap penings. The marquis, whose life had been spent in gilded ease, found the journey torture; and the bfutes in charge of the chain gang seemed to take a vicious delight in adding to his misery in every possible way. He was chosen out for all their barbarity, perhaps because he was an aristocrat. League after league he toiled along the endless white road, his feet bleed ing, his legs swollen, his body GOV cred with bruises, and his heart broken.
 At last death came to his relief. He died of exhaustion at Marseilles, and it is doubtful whether any man ever greeted the deliverer with greater joy
 Meanwhile his wife had been taken from a sick bed and dragged to the bar of justice by the tireless 1ieuten- ant general, who was fairly baskfng in the well-earned fame this case had brought him. She was found guilty of something or other, and imprisoned in an underground dungeon, where, in cold and slime and darkness, she be- came the mother of a daughter; and mother and babe were left there with no attention, except when a piece of black bread was thrown in.- as to a wild beast. Afterwards the jailor who did this service said that he ofen heard the wretched woman moaning,

At the close of the eighteenth cen tury the families of the Marquis d'An- glade and the Comte de Montgomerie lived in peace and harmony in large house in the Rue Royale, Paris. They lived rather luxuriously, and while it was held that most of the marquis funds came from the gambling tables, nobody held that against him. He was a man of fine appearance and charming manners, and his wife was a beauty. De Montgomerie had a for tune of his own and didn't need to go to the gambling establishments to earn his bread tn the sweat of his fingers. He kept a large establish ment, with servants and horses and chariots and the d'Anglades lived in the same house because of the firm friendship existing between the two families.
 It came to pass that the Montgom- cries decided to go to their country house for a while, and invited the

"Oh, God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Surely few people have had bet ter reason to ask the question. But, God had not forsaken her entirely.
 About this time former lackey of the Comte de Montgomerie's felt withs in him a spiritual yearning. He real ized that his sins were as scarlet, and he would be as white as snow. He wished to become a priest, and devote his life to good works. With this praiseworthy ambition in his breast, he set about undoing the evil he had wrought, so far as he could. He knew the truth about the robbery at the Montgomeries', and he wrote an anony- nous letter to friends of the d'An- glades, giving them information which enabled them to bring the facts to light. And the facts showed that the unfortunate dAnglade had nothing whatever to do with the crime.
 The chief criminal was the Comte de Montgomerie's almoner, a priest named Gaynard, who had obtained wax impressions of the comte's keys. From these impressions man named Belestre made false keys, several servants of the comte were in the plot, including the writer of the anonymous letter. They were all taken into GUS, tody and subjected to the torture, one | by one, and in their confessions they were unanimous in exonerating d'An-. | glade.
 The unfortunate wife was released; from her black dungeon, with herl naked babe in her arms. She was ins a dying condition, but now the sympa! thy of an entire nation was with her, and she was nursed back to health. The people of Paris raised a fund for her, amounting to $20,000 and the courts made De Montgomerie, dig up a large sum to make restitution for the property confiscated.
 There is only one bright spot in this tragic story One morning the lieu tenant general of police, who had been the lion of Paris for long time stepped out of his door to go to his office, when a stone hit him on the side of the head. Then another rock or maybe it was vitrifed brick; anyhow it was hard, and weighed eight pounds and a half-took him in the stomach and doubled him up, and before he could unbend himself some body prodded him in the ribs with a pole. In fact, the whole population ot the street had turned out to do him honor, and when his servant dragged him back into the house he looked just like a man who has been foolins with 8 pile driver.

d'Anglades to go along. The invita- tTon was accepted but at the elev- enth hour d'Anglade begged off, say ing his wife had fallen sick. The Montgomeries went away,a and there is every reason to suppose that they had the best kind of a time at their rural chateau. They returned to Paris day earlier than they had expected to, arriving at their home in the eve ming. The. d'Anglades spent the eve- ming with them.
 On the following morning Montgom- erie discovered that he :, had been robbed during his absence, and the robbers had made big haul. They had opened his strong box with a false key and had carried off thirteen bags of silver, several bags of gold, and hundred louis dor of new pat- tern, not in general circulation, and a quantity of valuable jewelry. The k comte sent at once for the police.
 The lieutenant general of police came, with several of his trusty sleuths, and after examining every thing he announced his belief that somebody in the house had stolen the goods, and he began a search of the premises. In order that nobody could accuse him of impartiality, he made a search of the d'Anglades' apartment the first thing, before going to the servants quarters, and his surprise and delight may be imagined when he discovered a roll of 75 louis dor, of the new coinage, wrapped up in a pa per, part of a genealogical table, which was at once identified by Mont gomerie as belonging to him. In vain the marquis protested that he knew i nothing about the money or how it came there. His appearance was i against him.
 To the astute lieutenant general ot i police this was sufficient proof of the mans guilt. When he went to the l house he expected that it was going to be a sordid affair, involving a crooked servant or two, and now he had a real live marquis in the tolls His delight may easily be understood The case was bound to make big sensation, and the lieutenant genera would be covered with glory From the moment of finding the money 1T d'Anglade's attic, that gifted function ary bent all his efforts to the one end the conviction of the marquis. Ht would consider no evidence that lee in other directions.
 As matter of form he went to the | basement, and there found evidence against the servants far more merlin r mating than that against the marquis

Clad in neat middy blouses and comfortable bloomers. several hun dred girls and older women, too are taught grace ful folk dances, games and drills But that isn't ali-tho girls are taught modern dances as we'll To the accompaniment of music and under the di rections of a skilled teacher of dancing, the girls are taught the one-step, the fox-trot and other modern ballroom dances
 The girls have a chance to practice the dagfces for one night each week there is a big dance at Lane, which hundreds of students attena$t The, dances are under the supervision of priRcIpa and teachers and these social evenings do much to- ward strengthening Lanes school spirit, Lane is a real social center.
 They Learn to sem =
 Dancing is not the only thing offered to girls at the nightschool. There are.JAasses in hand and machine sewing in the use of patterns and in fit ting and designing. Young women make dresses, suits and party frocks, 2oth for themselves and others. They learn to make hats too designing the hat making th6 frame covering it and trim ming the hat.
 The Lane publications are things of which both students and faculty are proud, for the Lane Tech Daily is the only daily newspaper in the United States that is both published and printed by stu dents of a high school. Members of the journal ism class write the news for the daily, others edit it. still others set type make up the paper and the presses. The Daily keeps the pupils posted all school news The pupils of the evening school issue an eight-page weekly paper, the Lane
 
 News or the Daily.
 For pupils with literary ambitions, there is the Lane Tech Prep, monthly magazine full of short stories essays and even playets.
 For the Backward Boys.
 Lanes pre-yocational department is of it's most successful features. In every city, there boys of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen, who, because of sickness financial conditions change of resi- dence, have been backward in their classes Usu- ally these boys drop out of school and go work, poorly prepared to enter into competition with other boys The pre-vocational department is especially for the boys who delinquent in the grade schools. It gives the motor type" of boy an opportunity to make up his work. Instead of be- ing in a grade school among the little fellows, among whom he feels ashamed he Is part of big high school with boys his age. His interest is awakened by being allowed to do things-he is taught technical shop work and usually leaves school capable of earning honorable livelihood. The laboratories at Lane well equipped. There are three the biological physical and chem frogs snails and turtles interest some students There is wireless telegraph outfit electric light testng machines, Xray outfit, model dynamo and motors Boys who to Lane without definite ambitions, find just the things to n- terest and develop them
 Interesting Shop Work.
 The shops at Lane have proved interesting to educators all over the world. In the wood shops there are examples of the work of the students:

Each year. too, there are two amateur plays, Four per formances of each are given and several thousand dollars added to the school fund. >There are orchestrds and bands too, composed of the music al students at Lane. On Sunday there 1are anna teur and professional band concerts attended not, only by students and people who live near by, but by people who come miles to listen to good music
 Thirty Helpful Clubs.
 Over thirty clubs help the social side of the. school Neatly all of them are open to any stu dent who is interested for Lane is absolutely qen- ocratc n spirit. Sonic of the clubs are the Wire less club the Mathematics club, the Debating club, the Camera club the Dramatic club, the Sketch club, the German club, the Economies club the Skating club and the Ciyics Industrial club.
 Lane is not just for poor people. Some of the students arrive in their automobiles A famous in- terior decorator is taking course at Lane which will teach him about enameling woods something he could not learn anywhere else in Chicago. A sculptor is taking course in forging; because it will help him in the molding and casting of statues. Artistic women are learning how to make hand-wrought silver But in spite of this, the most popular students are those who are working their way through school The majority of Lane boys, in fact, are working their way.
 Students Who Work.
 Under the direction of William J Bogan. prin. cipal of Lane and noted educator, man who un. derstands youths, hundreds of positions are ob tained for boys who must work for their board and clothing These positions range from ushers in movie shows to workers in electric shops All of them teach the boys to be selfreant and nde. pendent and most of them are along the line of work tha< the boy wishes to take up when he has left school
 To young and old Lane high school offers hun. dreds of opportunities Seryans, Germans Rus sians, Chinese Japanese and Filipinos in Chicago are gaining there a real national spirit and a real education. Hundreds of Americans are obtaining knowledge that will lead them to better positions and higher earnings The school motto is There is no royal road to learning, but there is an open Lane" and the thousands who attend prove that they are anxious to take advantage of the "open Lane."
