School Matters.
Prof. Geo. Denman is . systema
tizing the work ot the Benton
county public schools. - He has
prepared a classification of the
course of study and will soon is
sue an important pamphlet to the
teachers of the county, explain
ing the "plan.
In. the introduction, the super-
ntendent says:
"The need of a' county course
of study er a classification of the
work of the schools of our county
has been obvious of late years.
The demand on the part of Ben
ton's teachers and patrons for a
more systematic arrangement of
the work of our common schools
has been increasing, as the cum
bersomeness of our present sys
tem has become apparent. The
work of prior years has been, in
many ol our schools, unsatisfac
tory and often discouraging to
tesicher, patron and pupil alike.
In many of our schools, we find
the work in some branches being
neglected, simply because of too
many recitations and study peri
ods of insufficient length. In or
der to obviate this difficulty, the
number of recitations must be re
duced to the minimum and the
study periods and recitation peri
ods should be extended. Far
more can be accomplished in thir
ty minutes every other day than
in 15 minutes per day."
Prot. Denman has not attempt
ed a complete graduation of the
schools under his charge, as that
would be impossible under the
present conditions, but his plans
are practical and will be of great
utility.
Buckingham's Dye for tho "Whiskers does
its work thoroughly, coloring a uniform
brown . or black, which, when dry, will
neither rub wash off, nor soil linen.
AN UNMANLY ACT.
Public
dent
Insult Offered to Presi-
Miller by Unknown
Parties.
.Monday morning a figure representing
a man's body was discovered suspended
from the flag staff of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, and in the place of the
weather signals floated a flag bearing, in
large letters the words "H. B. Miller
may know how to run a saw mill, but he
cannot run a college." The effigy and
flag were quickly torn down, but the
news soon spread and all Corvallis engag
ed in a discussion of the affair. '
Tlie coarse and unmanly insult to
President Miller was doubtless the work
of young students, for the older men at
tending- the college are above such cow
ardly practice. Recent events show that
when they feel they have cause for com
piauu, uiey are neituer oacKwam nor
underhanded in complaining.
As the authors of the inexcusable in
sult have not been apprehended, their
motive is not known. Inquiry has, how
ever, discovered the fact tliat their has
been considerable friction between stu
dents and the ' head of the institution,
and that although' there has not been
any open , rupture, affairs at the college
have been rather unsettled.
; Citizens of Corvallis, generally, con-
Idema the affair as Mil outrage, and fear
that ontside people- .woulitjnagiiify . Ihe
incident, and . look upon the students
as a band of rioters.
The students held a mass meeting
Tuesday moruing and passed resolutions
denouncing the insult and disavowing
responsibility. ... . v
IMPROVEMENT.
S. N. Wilkins of he Corvallis Furni
ture Company, is making some decided
and improvements in his establishment.
He is fitting up 'handsome and commo
dious nndertakintr parlors: something
Corvallis has heretofore sadly lacked. '
The room in the rear of the furniture
apartment has been enlarged and decora
ted. On the sides are cabinets, which by
a simple but ingenious arrangement, can
easily display the handsome stock of cas
kets. But there is no suggestion of !nn
dertaking goods in sight.
The parlor will be carpeted- and fur
nished, and will be a 'suitable place for
services.
Mr. Wilkin will have his embalming
office iu the bnilding he uses as a morgue.
The improvements are a credit to his en-
lerprize and to the city.
AT THE PAIR.
'Fair of Nations," given at the
The
Opera House Tuesday night by the Meth
odist church people, was-a success artis
tically and financially. The Opera House
was thronged.
The solos of Miss Aiderson were ex
quisitely rendered. The mandolin solo
by Miss . Gertrude Cauthorn was. very
pleasing. Don Woodward's guitar solo
was fair, but scarcely audible. The min
strel songs, sung in plantation costume,
captured the audience, The tableaux
"Columbia," "Spanish Scenes." "Liber
ty," and "Japan Tea" were all good,
while the concluding tableau, "Presenta
tion at the Court of Queen of Victoria,"
in wincii .Miss ueriruae vaugnn was
Queea.. Victoria and Miw MyrU Lewis
and Miss Lora" Alexander acted , as
court maids, was one of the prettiest
things of the kind ever given here.

AN IMPRBSSIOH.
Benton ceunty's school superintendent,
Prof. Geo. Denman, owns a horse. The
horse is alive and has four legs. This
brief statement includes nearly all its
good points. He calls his horse "Time"
when lie teeis in an ironical numor, ana
"Justice" when be is practical minded. -
Tne protessor nas oeen visiung me
county schools for the past six -weeks,
his horse furnishing the principal .'mode
of conveyance thereto. The roads were
in a baa condition, Dut that maqe no ait--ference
to the horse. It didn't hurry over
them one bit taster, tne protessor tried
a switch as an incentive to speedier loco
motion, but the animal glanced back with
a pleased expression that exasperated,
and kept its old time gait.
One afternoon tne protessor grew des
perate. He was about to pass the house
where resides a tair ana cnarming aam-
sel, and as the professor is a single man
he certainly has a right to desire making
a good impression. Riding along in a
pokey walk, was not romantic. ie must
get that horse at least into a jog trot. He
experimented.
He borrowed a rail from the.lane fence
and as he passed the house, he belabored
his horse vigorously. The pretty girl
stood in the front door. The horse felt
the thrilling call to action. It started.
It moved, it keeiea over, ana tne pro
fessor followed suit The horse, weary
from its magnificent effort, lay still and
"George soon extricated himself. A silvery
laugh floated out trom tne nouse ana tne
professor concluded not to stop.
