A IochI '.eac'iors' Institute was iield
In tho high achel auditorium on Feb
ruary 24, and the program as adver
tised was fully carried out. The
High Hchool Orchestra furnished
music for tlio occasion which was
greatly appreciated.
The subject '-Knr Marks of a Good
Toucher" was ably Introduced by J.
II. Ilodaon, of Hcappooso, and dls
ensued by the touchers present. Mr.
lHidson muilo qualifications and per
sonality important attributes of a
good te-cher. u:id said the teacher
must be capable of generating eu-llni-ilasm.
Miss Stella liiKraliain. second grade
l:cher at Italnler and one of the
younger teachers of the county, led
tho discussion In primary reading
and showed thut she was a wide
awakoaud progressive teacher. Miss
Ingrnham brought out tho point that
reading Is the foundation of all sub
jects In the public schools und there
fore It Is most Important thut the
pupils should be taught to rend tin
derstaudtngly. Tho chief difficulty
with the phonic system is that many
teachers do not teach the pupils to
apply the phonics In their work.
!r. II. V. I)e llusk, of tho Univer
sity of Oregon, gave two very Inter
esting addresses on "Causes of lle
turdu'.lou" and "Tho Critical Periods
in tha l velopmont of a Child." giv
ing the leathers much food for
thought. Dr. Do Husk gavo as some
of the causes of retardation in school,
defective teeth, Improper food, slow
mental growth, defects of eyes and
ears. Indifference of parents, and fail
ure of understanding on tho pr.rt of
the teacher, causing her to keep pu
pil back when ho Is ready to go on.
Ir. Do Hunk has dona much Investi
gation In this Hue nnd his tulks wers
enthusiastically received.
Hev. Hlsey, of Ht. Helens, tuid IV
J. Kuntx. of Italnler, each r.ivo a
short talk on the subject of "Good
CHiaonshtp." Rdneetton, Intelligent
Interest In public affairs, patriotism,
rending of good literature, keeping
a level bead, and absolute honesty
wore given as Important factors In
the making of good citizens.
(1. W. Ilrown, of tho Yankton
school, vory ably discussed tho sub
ject of "Civil Government." Mr.
Ilrown laid stress upon studying the
Constitution of iho l ulled States and
r.nnlyr.liiR It thoroughly, and upon

The recond grndu pupils of Miss

HIGH BUTTER PRICES
CHARGED TO TRUST
Federal Grand Jury at Boise Charge
Conspiracy to Control Market.
in restraint of interstate commerce
and In violation of the Sherman antl.
dependent concerns in several of the
states of the northwest. Several
Portland men wore named In the In
dictment. It is a fact generally
known or believed that the butter
trust of Portland has been- and is
now trying to put the small, Inde
pendent butter makers out of busi
ness. For instance, several weeks
ago the price of butter fat was raised
to 43t cents, and tho Independent
creaufertes, among them the local
concern, immediately put up the price
of a roll of butter to $1. Some of
the Portland concerns still sold It at
90 and 95 cents. It is apparent that
the object of tho Portland combine
is to place the price of butter fat at
such an attractive figure and still
maintain a low price on butter that
tho Independents cannot compete
with them. After the independents
aro frozen out they can raise the
price of butter and lower the price
of butter fat at their own discretion.
Fortunately, however, the local con
cern Is a co-opcratlve institution, and
seeing the game of the trust made
them only moro resolute in their de
termination to stick by the St. Hel
ens company, realizing that in the
long run they would profit by such
cction. The indictments of the Idaho
grand jury, however, is expected to
have some influence on the big ones
who have been trying to corner the
market at the expense of the small
producer.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Monday morning tho faculty yield
ed once more to their love for charts
when Mr. Knight graphed the attend
ance on the blackboard. He found
January to havo the hijhest and Feb
ruary the lowest percentage of at
tendance. Last Friday evening tho Adclphtc
Lltor".ry Society held a very interest
ing meeting with many novel fea
tures, one of which was a hypnotic
stunt by Mr. Knight and several boys.
The next isaue of the high school
paper is ready to print, and tha proof
readers say it is better than ever. Bet
ter buy a copy from Dewey Smith if
you are not a subscriber. You will
find it interesting.
Seats were changed Friday morn
ing and tho process resulted in the
comedies and tragedies which usually
attend such events. Some very con
genial people were grouped together,
much to the distress of the faculty.
Fri'day evening will be an exciting
time for the upper classmen, because
on that night the juniors will enter
tain the seniors at a "Hobo Party."
The seniors are very buoy making
inquiries as to the nature of this in
novation, but the mysterious juniors
refuse to furnish details. The mem
bers of the faculty have beon invited,
also.
The glee club Is busily practicing
