SCHOOL NOTES.
liy Supt. Xotnon.
The representative of the State
Board of Health has been inspecting
Bhoi lhauses and premises in Umatilla
and Baker counties recently. She is
quite uuispnken In lotre of her criti
cisms. If she has been in this county,
no mention has been made of hor visit.
As stated before in these notes there
are some districts in this county in
which considerable roim for improve
ment along the lines of sanitation may
be found.
Teachers who have received rr rip
ostes by renewal should send them in
f it registration.
The session of the State Teachers'
Association held at Salem was one of
the best in the history of the organ
ization. While the attendance was
not as large as it nsual'y is when the
meeting is held at Portland there was
a gnodlv representation of teachers
from all parts of the state. Te ex
ecutive committee was fortunate in
securing the services of M. V. O'Shee,
of the University of Wisconsin, and
he gave two strong lectures. He is a
man who Investigates and who pro
vokes though on the part of his hear
ers. It la quite probable that Dr.
O'Shea's book "Every Day Problems
in Teaohing", will be adopted as the
textbook in theory and ptactioe for
the teachers' examinations In June. It
will pay any teacher to secure a copy
and read it anyway The next meet
ing of the association will be held at
Eugene.
The department of education will
soon have some literature pertaining
to the Industrial contests read? for
distribution. It is time to begin
planning for the school fairs to be held
next fall. It is to be hoped that the
teachers, punils and parents will co
operate in such a way as to Insure
beneficial results.
Whisper "Heppner."
Miss Hohbs has been in Oopoerfleld, J
And all saloons there have been sealed,
And barring those heartrending sobs
From those molested by Miss Hobbs,
Trie town though like a maddened ram
Is now as meek as Mary's lamb.
Excepting the tearful eye
The town mav be considered dry
And those who did the selfish boea'en,
Have yielded all to Mr. Cawson.
And once again It can be said,
"The women bruised the serpant's
head.
If now this daring little Miss
Could come and still the serpent s
hiss.
That threatens Heppner's goodly name
And seeks to put us all to shame.
1 'would be a blessing for the town.
Which seems awry and upside down.
In the name of Heaven, Mr. West. .
While ridding others of the pest
If you can handle other jobs,
Just whisper "Heppner" to Miss
Hobbs.

OLD ROMAN HOTELS.
Where One Could Get Tiger or Lion
8tew, but No Credit.
'-The traveler who is prone to
complain of sleepless nights spent
in uncomfortable hotels in this
country may find some solace in
this account of the Roman hotels in
the days of the late republic and the
empire:
Most of the hostelries and tav
erns of Rome, says Humbert de
Gallicr in "Usages et Moeurs d'Au
trefois," were situated along the
Appian' way. Some of them were
passable. It was at one of the bet
ter ones that Cicero used frequent
ly to stop and write his letters.
The most interesting hostelries,
however, were near the circuses
and amphitheaters. The shrewd
and generally dishonest owners had
a double purpose in selecting that
situation. It was well chosen for
the patronage of the huge crowds
that went to the circuses on holi
days to see the fights between wild
e.nimals and the gladiatorial com
bats, and the landlords could buy
conveniently and reasonably those
animals that had been slaughtered
during the day, to be served on
their tables.
Tiltis a merrymaker might wit
ness a battle between a lion and a
tiger in the amphitheater in the aft
ernoon, and if he went to a nearby
hotel might find parts of the same
lion or tiger in his stew for dinner.
A bear's steak was considered a
great delicacy in Rome.
The furnishings of the common
r.oom, whicli in these hotels served
as dining room, parlor and taproom
were severely simple. A few wood
en tables, a few wooden benches
and a sort of elevated throne were
the only pieces of furniture. On the
raised chair or throne sat the owner
of the inn and watched over his
guests and probably his belongings.
A large number of the hostelries
displayed upon the ceilings of their
common rooms a painting repre
senting a rooster. The painting
bore an inscription, the spirit of
which will never grow old: When
this cock crows, then we will give
credit."
That is the one link that binds
the crude, uncomfortable tavern of
ancient Rome to the elaborate ho
tel of the present day.
'f wonder how so many forest
fires catch?" said Mrs. McBride.
"Perhaps they catch accidentally
from the mountain ranges." sug
gested Mr. McBride. Christian
