D., Oct. 8.—(Special)—In justice court here Colin Macbeth was bound over under $6,000 bonds to appear at the next term of dlstrict court on the charge of horse stealing. Macbeth fur- nished bonds and Is at liberty. His hearing under two other simllar charges will come oft this week. This is a continuation of the cases brought by the Missour! Valley Stockmen's assoclation to break up a gang of thieves who for years have been carrying on ex- tensive cattle and horse stealing operations. The first man arrested was Carl Blassen- game, the association’s own brand inspec- tor. Blassengame was found guilty at Fort Plerre last January of stealing forty- sevon circle R horses. He took the horses o Macbeth's ranch, where they were kept several days and then turned over to a Louls Blunk, who started to Sioux City with them. Blunck was apprehended be- fore reaching Sioux City and the horses recovered. Blunck turned state's evidence and Blassengame was convicted. The prosecutor claims that Macbeth has for years been acting as a fence for rustlers. Until recently he was a partner of Charles Seaman, sald to be the wealthiest ranch man in the state. Macbeth has been suspicioned for years, but it is only now that the stockmen's association has cousidered the evidence strong enough to conviet. Macbeth {s putting up a strong fight. Several fights have taken place over the matter and threats of shooting have been sommon ' Gang Charged with KEMMERER, Wyo,, Oct. 8.—(Special.)— Robert Miller, James Ryan and Robert Sage were arrested at Granger, charged with burglary.

He says they should visit the district meetings, take an active in- terest in educational affairs and aid in elevating the standard of tho schools. In the summer Mr. Fowler visited nearly halt | ot the counties and his observations have 4 him to believe that vast good can be | | accomplished 1f the patrcns lend their | support to the teachere, the school directors them about the conduct of affairs at the an- nual school meeting held the last Monday in June in every rural school district, vil- lage and small town in the <tate. As nearly | as I can estimate in a majority of the dis- | tricts not a woman appeared at the school mecting and when they did attend as a rule they were in a hopeless minority. Those who do attend are usually mothers | who have the good of the school at heart, those who place the school close up to the home {n value and influence. This minor- | | | {1ty is often outvoted, not by the fathers, |but by the male voters present, among | whom the fathers may be in a minority. “In the average annual school meoting | the report of the finances of the district 1s the center of Interest. All actlon taken | | depends upon the financial report. In many | | rural districts the lowest number of | months of school allowed under the law for a district to share In the state apportion. mont, three or slx months, was voted and all estimates of oxpenses and the neces {sary tax levy were based upon this amount of achool. The necessary amount of teach- ers' wages was ostimated at the lowest salary that any one person present knew a teacher could be employed for. In other words, the district voted to employ the cheapest teacher In the market, without regard to materlal. “Is that the proper way to go shopping?® | In many places there were more children | present than fathers and in a few cases that came to my attention they were will- | ing to forfeit the state apportionment of | school money for the sake of saving thelr | own direct taxes and they voted ‘no school. | Those who furnish the cash rather than those who supply the children attend the meeting and conduct the school affairs.” More Mothers Should Attend. “My plea 1s for a larger attendance of mothers at the school meeting,™ con- tinued Mr. Fowler. “Their more gen- eral representation on school boards is another question and not within my province. The primary authority is with the voters in meeting assembled, | where the board is instructed to carry out | the wishes of the people, and the mnmm} should see to it that the school rooms, wherein their children spend one-halt | their working hours every school day In | the year, have at least a semblance of com- fort and convenience, that they are not wholly unattractive, that they are not os- tensibly designed to encourage truancy and to drive the children into the fields or the street and that the outbelldings are not dens of vice and hellholes of pollution. Elect the best men and women In the dis- | trict to positions on the board. “The prime requisite of a good school Is |a ‘good teacher, but a small amount ot money judiciously expended in improving | the material conditions of the school may | nearly double the results, not particularly | | In book learning, although better environ- | ment materially alds that, but In char acter bullding. In organizel cities, where the annual school meeting Is no longer held, the mothers must wield their fnflus ences and accomplish reeults In other ways, through their crganizations. “There arc few things that do more to | elevate the moral tone of the school and | place it upon a dignified and law-ablding | | basts than a kindly visit from a wise and | | judicious mother—one who 1s willing te belleve that the teacher is. mext to the parent, more concerned than anyone else in the welfare of the school, one who is willing to counsel with the teacher, to concede the faults of her cifld or children ard to ask the co-operation of the | teacher in the correction of the same. In brief, a mother who will work with the teacher in every way to improve the school without attempting to dictate its genmeral policy. The average teacher expresses fear of visitors and this is not strange when we consider that in the schools of Ne- | braska we have upwards of 2,000 teachers who have had less than six weeks' experi- ence and that a majority of these a) under 20 years of age. And yet a visit from a mother such as I have mentioned is a bright spot and a pleasant memory in the daily routine history of the school and an inspiration to greater and better effort. Personality of the Teacher, “I mentioned the law-abiding basis of the school. Two great factors in this are the influence and personality of the teacher and the sentiment of the com- munity. The latter includes that of tho home. When the home discouatenances the disrespectful speech of the children about the teacher and the school and the home and the school unite in teaching a higher respect for our state and bational insti- tutions and the men who represent our government, when we no longer refer to the noble men who aspire to the presidency of this great republic as ‘Billy’ and ‘Teddy* and ‘Mac' and when we no longer permit the caricature of these men by our news pers, we will have taken u long step in destroying the demon of anarchy. An- archy is lawlessness or the absence of govs ernment and lawlessness s anarchy, whether it be In the nation, the state, the city or the schoolroom. It may sound harsh to say that parents sometimes en- courage anarchy on the part of their chil- dren, but think for a moment. If they say or do anything to encourage their children in opposing the authority of the teacher is that not encouraging anarchy in the school- room? Two months hence the congress of the United States will be flooded with a mass of bills for the suppression of an- archy and undoubtedly something will be accomplished. But to thoroughly exter- minate the pest the seeds of law and order and respect for our governmental institu- tions and our rulers must be sown in the common schools, the hope of the country.” School Fund Investments, Treasurer Stuefer today Invested $80,000 of the permanent school fund in Dougl county refunding bonds, which extend for a perlod of ten years and draw interest at the rate of § per cent.

A ma- Jority report was presented recognizing that a constitutional amendment would also be required and asking that the whole matter be referred to a speclal com- mittee to be appointed by the chair. A simialr majority report was made in regard to the resolution of F. B. Taylor of Los Angeles. The committee further reported a recommendation that the house concur in the action of the bishops, oro- viding for marginal reading; also that they could not advise the authorization of the use of the revised version in reading the leesons. The committee also reported that it was the opinion of the committee that | the table of lessons was not a part of the prayer book in the sense that the general provision for the amendment of the prayer | book apolted to it. The reading of the minutes developed & question of the correctness of the vote by which the Huntington amendment was declared adopted yesterday. It was nas- serted that the clerical vote of Nebraska was wrongly recorded In the afirmative. The minutes were changed, making the clerical vote of Nebracka “no.” This | changed the result, defeating the measure. J. P.
