The pension fui.d is to 1h gather

All linen or parU of f alaries deduct

assessment of one per cent, per an
num on all salaries of those who
are to be the beneficiaries of the
law; all donations Riven by friends
of the teachers for this special pur

judicious investment of tlio unused

and two elected representatives ol

The bills give the board the right

gregating twenty years, and any

service for twenty-five years. Such
teachers shall also have the ri;bt

and claim the pension, provided
three-fifths of their period of service
has been spent in Chicago. The
pension in every case 13 to be one
half the pay received just previous
to retirement, providing this does
not make an amount larger than
$ 1,000 a year. The board 13 to

ments conform .with the funds in

"Jost My Luck."
The expression, "Just my lack,"
is a favorite one with many boys
"and girls. It would be well to
have them memorize the following
proverbs by Mr. Cobden:
Luck is waiting for something to
turnup.
Labor like keen eye3 and strong
will, will turn up something.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the
postman would bring him news of
Labor turns out at six o'clock,
mid with a busy Den or rinsing
hammer lays the foundation of a
competence
Luck whines.
Labor whist'es.
Luck relies on chances.
Labor, on character. .
Luck slips down to indigence.
Labor strides upward to indepen
dence. A State Quiz.

Journal of Education.
The above will prove an inter
estine exercise for a class in
geography. Such lessons given
frequently will relieve the monot
ony of every day work. Why not
have a similar quiz for the associa
tion meetings? The questions
should be on educational topics
psychology or pedagogy. Question
and answer should be brief. Law
students in our schools have quiz-
rooms and. the "quiz'' is a part of
their regular work. It might be
made interesting and profitable to
teachers. r We suggest that Prof.
Reynolds prepare , a short list of
questions for Che next meeting.

Notwithstanding the fact that
the candidates for the legislature
in every county in Oregon were
pledged to abolish the railroad
commission, that useless quartette
is still on the boards with a $20,-
000 appropriation behind them.
But this is chargeable to the sen
ate, where the bill that had passed
the house with few dissenting
votes, found its death in the com
mittee room.

As to Lawrence Kevt and the

Coos county prisoners to take

prisoners have been placed in the
town jail, where they have had a
reception every evening. Good
music is furnished by Canning'i!
