Manngor Charles H. Yale has an
nounced for the coming season, the
26th edition of that phenomenal piece
of theatrical property, "The Devil's
Auction," surnamed ''Everlasting,"
and properly, too, for It seems des

appearances, a few days after that.
There is, however, no discounting

from all reports, easily ranks as one
of the most substantial hits of the
past season of the new one. It is said
to contain more generous laughs than
many a farce, and the love Interest Is
absorbing. The play Is suid to be
strong, convincing and uncommonly
Interesting and proves particularly ef
fective as a dramatic vehicle, because
It deals with a familiar subject in
most virile manner.

Statp Schools Are .Not Supplied With
(iiNHl Instructor.
. Jn speaking of the shortage of
school teachers in Wyoming the Chey
enne Tribune says:
One of the most perplexing prob
lems which the board and the stute
superintendents have to meet is the
shortage of teachers.
Some months ago the Tribune made
mention of the many vacancies, but
there has been little Improvement
since and vacancies are being reported
lit serious numbers from all partB of
the state.
A part of the duties of the board
has been to Issue the examination pa
pers for certificates to teach, and to
Issue the certificates to those who
have successfully passed the examin
atlon. The members of the board al
so examine the papers, Instead of
leaving It to the county superintendent
as was formerly the case.
-
Of course there are many young
women who take the examination
who have never had special training
or study and who fall to pass the ex
amination. In some Instances this
means that the school "must be closed
as there Is no one to take the place of
the teacher who has been In charge
of the school pending the report of
the examiners.
So many schools are thus short of
teachers that the hoard has seriously
considered the wisdom of permitting
these teachers, even though they are
not competent, to continue to teach
until they either fit themselves to
pass the examination or until another
can be found for the district.
In this manner. It has been sug
gested to the board by resident of the
districts affected, the children will
have the advantage of some Instruc
tion, even If not the best, which la
believed to be better than closing the
school entirely.
