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:

ty," by Prof J. C. Zinser, of the

mouth school; "The Ideal Teach
er," by Prof, J. G. Mcintosh, of

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.
A vote of thanks and apprecia
tion was passed by the teachers
for the excellent luncheon given
