When the teachers Of the southern
and north western sections meet to plan
these contests, they should arrange to
spend part Of the day discussing,
"Charsers' Teaching the Common
Branches" in the form of Reading
Circle Work. This Is in lieu of third
teachers meeting in these sections. If
more convenient teachers may meet in
the superintendent's Office to plan the
contests. These contests should as
much as possible take place in April
or May and need not necessarily always
be on a Friday night. Notify me of
the date of your town contest as soon
as decided.
There will be penmanship contest
again this year. The rules governing
next bulletin and will be about the
same as last year.
From our observations there are
some teachers that pay little attention
to notices and sugges tons contained in
the Bulletin. Are you following the
Il Ia. I.
to be very helpful for all. 1t will re-
leve you of much planning. Some are
doing just hit-or-miss work in some of
the branches that need much planning.
Tho Mishicot High School HIS So pu-
pills enrolled. Thirty-six of these are
tuition pupils. This is the largest en-
rollment for high school that has
been organized for the first year of any
in the state.
At one OF tho teachers meetings the
county superintendent was gopg to
talk to the teachers about tho progress
OF pupils In the various studies pur-
sued, but as we were crowded for time
tho topic was omitted. In brief |
wanted to question the teachers on this
so that they could check themselves
and give themselves merit or demerit
marks as tho case may be on their sue
cess as teachers. If you had a class Of
four beginners in September what pro-
gress have they made up to this timer
What are they doing now' What. do
they know' What sounds, phono-
grams, and words1 How many?
Take your "B" language class, what
can you say they hnve definitely learn
ed since September Take your manu-
al and check oil the things you have
taught, or rather, the things they know
well. (Seo page 81, 9Th and 9th years.
What progress have you made in
penmanshipY On what page in Palm
er's Manual is the next lesson2 With
but very few exceptions, whenever |
have observed writing in school prac-
tically the entire time was spent on the
oval" While this exercise precedes
many others, there should be something
now or in advance every day or two.
Then there should be much review Of
the previous days or weeks work.
Take an inventory OF your work cover
cd thus far.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By c., w. Meisnest.)

Contests will again be held IN oral
and written spelling, arithmetic, add
ing, language and the 45 combinations.
The county contests will take place
June at the Court House. Some time
previous to this time every town or at
least a group of schools should have
preliminary or town contest, which
should be preceded to some extent st
least by contests in schools.
Some schools and pupils will need
encouragement in contest work and /
look to the teachers to do the encourag-
ing. Begin now to prepare your pupils
for this work. Every day should be a
contest day. Don't wait until the last
few weeks and then drill with them
night and day.
In connection with the contests at
your town contests there should be
fine literary program lasting not longer
than three quarters of an hour. The
program should be simple, and there is
no reason, with but n few selections
from each school, why it should not be
good. The recitations should be well
spoken.
Teachers are generally acquainted
with the conducting of all of these con-
tests. The language contest will be
based on the Mechanics of Language
as found in the manual including the
fifth and sixth years. (Not 7th and sth),
The following teachers will act as
chairmcn of the towns and Will be held
responsible for the town contests. He
should call meeting of the teachers of
his town and arrange and plan the con-
test. These meetings should be called
early, not later than February or the
pnrlv nrt pf March.

That Halloween Dance

At Eagle Hall on Halloween
 From nine till half-past one, A dance of ghosts there'll be
 Who back to earth have come, By invitation of the Witch.
 For one night in the year; Again to walk for mortal man
 Who for them show no fear We wish all to attend this dance, And meet these spectres face to
 face
 And ghostly garments you will wear Such as sheet and pillow case. And join us in our revelries
 And form a fitting scene, A spectral party. gay but weird, To celebrate this Halloween.

DAYS OOINCS OF
 THE DISTRICT COURT

Tong Louis was still on the stand when the court convened again yester- day afternoon, as a witness for the government in the case of Arsenic Vicente, and was examined and cross examined at some length. Dr. H. H. Beck and Charles B. Maslyn were al- so recalled for additional testimony by the p1aintiff. The latter had not completed his testimony at o'clock, and the case was continued over un- til 10 o'clock this morning.
 Attorney R. E. Capers. of Cordova. then presented to the Court the case of Blanche A. Ahrens vs. Leo Louis Ahrens, an action for divorce. The testimony was presented in the ac- tion and a decree of divorce was granted. Court then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning.
 At the morning session of the Court today the case of the U. s. vs Arsenic Vicente was continued.
 Charles B. Maslyn was recalled, and after giving testimony was followed by Isaac McCandless and Deputy Marshal Karl Armstrong. The testi- mony was substantially the same as in the former trials of the parties in- dicted for the killing of J. J. Gun ningham.
 In n nf Armstrong the government rested and the testimony for the defense was produced. Gabino Guerta. Vincente Castaneda, Charles B. Maslyn and Isaac McCandless. were put on the stand and testified in. behalf of the defendant.
 The defendant was then put on the stand in his own behalf. He testified in substance that he saw the first fight between the second Filipino boss and two of the boys. but following this 1 he went up to his room in the Fili- pino house and did not see the fight on the walk outside. He did not know that Cunningham had been injured until he came down stairs some time later, when the Chinese cook told him that Cunningham had been hurt. He stated that he had always been on very friendly terms with Cunningham and showed a picture of himself with Cunningham. standing arm in arm, the defendant dressed as girl. The picture was taken following a cele- bration held at the cannery on July Fourth. When in some theatricals had at that time the defendant play ed the part of girl. Another witness was called who also testified to the 1 very friendly feeling between the ac- cused and Cunningham.
 The defense then rested and Cab ina Guerta was recalled by the prose- cution in rebuttal.
 The plaintiff then rested and the opening argument to the jury was made by Assistant Prosecuting Attor- ney Dimond. He was followed by At torney John Lyons, for the defense His argument was completed a few minutes before noon hour and an ad- jOurnment was taken until ? D. m.. when the closing argument of coun- sel in the case will be had.
