ISSUKI) KVERY FRIDAY Subscription Rates One year Six months $1 50 eta Monmouth, Oregon. FRIDAY, APRIL. 8, 1910. FURBISH THE JEWELS. In casting the mind over the features of the entertainment given here Friday evening of last week, with the purpose of pointing out wherein persons might be benefitted by such amusement, several features stand out clearly in showing ad vantages. In the first place doctors agree that a good laugh is beneficial and there is no doubt but that it is, as the mi ml is carried away from the cares and worry of life and forgetfulness for the time, and with recurring thought to the incident, giving rest from other thoughts and conditions. Then there are the lessons to be learned by example. The boy or girl, or the man or wo man either, for that matter, who is studiously inclined, can find much to encourage them for they meet with ami have before them one who has, by cultiva ting the natural gifts bestowed upon him, arisen to the position where lie can amuse an audience at will. Mr. Kendall has a natural gift in his splendid voice it is true, and we would not expect one not so gifted would rise .to his calling, but in each lump of hu manity there is u jewel buried and it is only necessary that the polishing process is applied in order that the gem may give out its illumination. W very much doubt the pro priety of using great talent for purposes of entertainment only, as it seems to us that persons so endowed should have higher am bitions and should use their in tluence to uplift humanity, to build up and encourage .mm and women and youths to great er endeavor ami grander heights of usefulness, rather than resort ing to an order of amusement some of which is questionable as to propriety. Individuals have the shaping of their own lives to a certain extent, at least, and it is the amount of energy used in thought and purpose that will bring out (he talents buried within them. It takes grinding to bring out the brilliance of the gem. Teacher's Institute a Success. A very successful Teachers' Institute was held at Indepen dence last Saturday at the Public School Building. On Friday night State Sup't J. II. Ackerman and Dr. R. Al derman each gave an address at the Opera house to a good audi ence of teachers from the coun ty and citizens of Independence. Sup't Ackerman spoke along the lines of school conditions and contended that any school dis trict can have any kind of a school that the people in the dis trict want and also that no school will raise above the standard giv en by the people of the commu nity. Prof. L. R. Alderman explained 1 the workings of the County High School Fund law in Lane and Linn counties where they have the law in force and where it is a success, he explained the advan tages of such a law and also the influence it is having upon the educational conditions of those counties. On Saturday at 10 a. m. the institute began at the public school building where the follow ing program was given, many of the subjects being discussed by the different teachers present: "The Teacher and the Communi ty," by Prof J. C. Zinser, of the Ballston school: "Practical Man ual Training," by Prof. F. C. Chute, of the Bethel school; "The Relation of the Home to the School," by Prof. J. E.

Mcintosh, of the Independence school; Sup't J. II. Ackerman gave an address on the Rating we Each Have; Mrs. Emily Banks, of Dayton, who has spent several years in the Congo country, was present with a large number of curios from that country and gave a talk on the. conditions as they are in Congo, and explained the cus toms of the natives.
