I TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE.
I Jackson County Teachers Con
I vene in Annual Institute on
■ Wednesday—Proceedings
■ of the Day.
■ The first day ’s session of the
■ annual institute for teachers in
■ Jackson county was opened Wed
1 nesday by County Examiner John
1D. Neal. In a wery forcible talk
lhe impressed upon his hearers
’the necessity of promptness and
regularity in attending the meet
ings of the institute, which would
thus evince an interest every
teacher should feel in educational
advancement and improvement
of methods.
The first business transacted
was in the election of Mr. Henry’
Grant secretary, Mrs. Dora Al
bright* Mrs. B. F. Whittaker and
Mr. C. R. James critics. Two
official reporters were then ap
pointed, Prof. J. R. Hodges for
the Herald and Miss Louise Irby
for the Independent.
A query box was instituted in- |
to which any person was allowed
to place any question which he
might care to put before the as
sembly for discussion.
Business being disposed of, the '
program arranged by Prof. J. D.
Neal was carried out.
After each paper had been j
read the subject was open to dis
cussion from every quarter. |
Thus many valuable suggestions
and criticisms were made. Some
very warm and interesting dis
cussions were carried on as to
methods of teaching different
branches, which, together with
the papers, made the first day of
the institute instructive to a
great degree.
It was our great good fortune
to have with us Prof. Brough of
Fayetteville, who has the chair
of political economy. He inspired
us to higher ideals by his brilliant
and soul-inspiring address.
The teachers present are Mis
!ses Higgs, Bush, Fannie Fry,
Hal Phillips, Louise Irby, Delia
Patterson, Bell Phillips, Whitley,

J TEMPERANCE COLUMN, j
A BETTER WAY.
The problem of the liquor traffic
seems to be agitating the public
mind to such an extent that some
of the brightest intellects of the
nation are taking hold of it,
ostensibly to improve existing
conditions. The latest and
most astounding move in that
direction is that made by the
Episcopal bishop, Potter, of the
Diocese of New York and his co
workers, wherein they have con
ceived the idea of bettering the
condition of the poor laboring
class of humanity by opening
what they term a model saloon,
known as the Subway Tavern,
near the slum district of the city,
where the laboring man or wo
man may resort after their day’s
labor and refresh themselves
with the best of liquor or beer,
and lunches, at a reasonable
price, and have the privilege of
a first-class loafing place to spend
their evenings. It being a pub
lic resort, all classes of citizens
are entitled to, and inducements
are offered to them to accept,
the same hospitality as is shown
the laborer. Then, is it not rea
sonable to expect the subway
tavern to become a resort for all
classes, and is it not reasonable
to expect it soon to be nothing
more than any other first-class
saloon where lunches are server^
And is it not an established
fact that the more respectable
and inviting you make a saloon
the more dangerous and demor
alizing they are ? Starting at
the top of the ladder to make
drunkards is the most successful
way. Think how many young
men and girls are started down
the ladder at the festive board
of the most elite club, and where
is the even half-way respectable
young person who would take
their first drink in a slum saloon.
No sooner the laboring boy or
girl than the son or daughter of
the millionaire, to transform the
old familiar saying, * ‘A rose by
any other name would smell as
sweet, "the saloon by any other
name smells as sour.
Now in the interest of the la
boring man and all other classes,
rather than have our nation,
state, county and municipality
partners in the liquor traffic and
our ministers of the gospel de
grading themselves and bringing
shame and disgrace upon the
church of Christ by establishing
model saloons or subwav tavern.
It would be far better to cut
loose entirely from the business
by taking off all revenue charges
and all license fees and turn it
loose to those who wish to make,
sell and drink it And let the
drunkard pay the penalty of his
folly, then by enforced education
in our schools, both public and
private, against the use of alco
holic liquors as a beverage, in a
few decades we will have a sober
nation, an honest, righteous gov
ernment and a law abiding citi
zenship.
To this end let every right-1
dunking man come to the front
ind vote against license, thereby
enlisting in the crusade to divorce
;he politics of our country from
die liquor traffic.

KEYSTONE OF
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
.. Jh.e 88,0 the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassable quality, the founda
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
of a mathT8tiCal PTOblem fi*uretl OUt by BOUnd waves to the merest fraction
Kimball is Prominent.
4 ‘ '1
One of the most perfect'musical scales is displayed in the cultivated human voice. An
imperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it's worse because all do not
claim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of °ther of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
the Kimball System and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
