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.
