Crook County Teachers Institute The teachers' annual Institute opened Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock with an unusually large attendance. The large increase in population during the past ten years is shown by the growth and number of school districts in the county. In 1901 there were twenty-three teachers in attendance at the annual Insti tute and today's record shows 1)2 teachers and there are be tween 85 and !0 school districts in the county. After greeting the teachers Supt. Ford introduced J. X. Williamson, who spoke on the workings of Congress. He ex plained bow the organization was perfected and gave the necessary steps in putting a bill through the House. His talk was most interesting and instructive and helped the uninitiated to better understand and appreciate the work necessary to get a bill in troduced and passed by this leg islative body. Miss Winnek favored the In stitute with a vocal solo and re sponded to an appreciative en core. Prof. J. Shouse of Bend gave an excellent talk on the psycho logy of reading. He explained how the present psychologists were trying to work out the dif ferent school subjects along psychological lines that would be both simple and practical. In bis talk he discussed and emphasized three main topics, viz: Mental development, prac tical efficiency and culture and told when each of these should receive the greatest attention.. The afternoon session opened with singing led by Prof. Coe. M ss Probst favored the Insti tute with a vocal solo. Mrs. Mabel Wood then read an able paper on the "Necessity of the Trained Teacher." An ef fort will be made to have Mrs. Wood's paper printed so that the teachers may have a copy. Miss Gidner gave a paper on ''Expression work for primary grades" aud explained how the hand work, and dramatization were the means of stimulating a greater interest and better work ing out the thought of the les sons. Miss Sid ner suggested suitable, stories, books and ma terials to be used." The general discussion was most helpful in suggesting ways and means for taking up this work in the country schools. Prof. Coc's paper on the Im portance of School Athletics was excellent and the general discus sion that followed was helpful to all who were fortunate enough to hear it.

Chicken Thief Caught in the Act Leo LaFollette has been troubled for a long time with night prowlers who have been in the babit of visiting his chicken roosts and helping themselves to the best he had. Nor did they confine them selves solely to the chickens. They would go through the cellar and help themselves to canned goods, jellies and jams and other good things to go as a side dish with the broilers. The visits were usually made when the family came to town and plan as be would, the thieves would go Leo one better. Tuesday night Mr. LaFollette and family came in to go to the show but left the hired man in a tent. Shumias Entertain. The Shumia Club met last Fri day evening at the home of Mrs. Clifton.
