VOLUME !. CHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY,. VMÖNTAM, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1897. NUMBER 111 OUR SCHOOL TEACHERS! Some of the Doimrs of the County Teachers as Gathered in by Our Wide-Awake Reporter. A Short Review ofj the Institute as Viewed by an Outsider. A Nice Program Rendered. The Teton County Institute held in Choteau this week proved a great success. Although there were but few teachers enrolled much interest was manifested in the work Of the institute and the room was • always well filled with citizens and friends interested in the schools. Prof. Templeton catpured the little cify to begin with Sunday evening, when he delivered au address at the request of Rev. Logan, on the subject of education. The clear and logical views then presented gave us to understand what we might expect of tlie gentleman .as au institute instruc tor, and we have, not beqn dissap- poiuted either as teachers or.citiznes. The work in,Primary Science was especially interesting. Flocks of children crowded around thé profes sor every afternoon and watched with ever increasing interest the experi ments presented. The subjects of arithmetic, grammar, pedagogy were also presented by the professor in a manner- to interest all present. In all his work Prof Templeton has been ably assisted by Prof. Ham mond, Miss Lillian Day, Miss Birdie McDonald, Miss Ralston, Mrs. Wat erman, Dr. W. E. Cord and other capable and enthusiastic workers! Prof. Hammond presented the sub ject of algebra, giving many new and valuable thoughts. V Mrs. Waterman, of , the.. Burton, school, occupied a half hour every .forenoon, .presenting ; the subject of physical culture. The interest evi denced by teachers, pupils and citi zens were very complimentary to Mrs; Waterman. Miss Ralston contributed a very interesting paper on “ methods” and was the recopient of many compli ments. S. Y. Penrod gave an in teresting talk on civics. Dr. Cord was entirely at ease while discussing physiology, and. Mrs. Chenoworth handled her subject, geography, as one familiar with the subject. Several teachers were asked to name the 'feature of the institute which impressed them most, and each replied the class drill and ex position of the word and sentence method of teachiug by Miss Lillian W. Day was the most profitable presentation of the session. Miss -Day showed the progress made by a class of five little boys consisting of Georgie England, Frankie* Penrod, Eddie Hodgskiss, Asa Armstrong aud Alden Connor, in the short space of nine weeks. The wonderful gluttony for knowl edge manifested by these little six- year-'olds and the wav they reveled in sentences contauing words of many syllables certainly showed the posses sion of class control that can be de scribed in no way so well as by the use of the word hypnotism. Miss Bean arranged for two evening entertainments at the hall, which were largely attended. The program Tuesday night was, a piano solo by Jessie Logan which was well received, an address of welcome by J. G. Bair which received merited applause; a reply by Prof. Hammond which admirably voiced the senti ments of the teachers; a well render ed duet by Miss Evans and Mrs. Chenoweth and a somewhat stilted lecture by Prof. Templeton on “ the Education of the Masses.” The professor is a very interesting institute instructor and Miss Bean could not have secured a more ac ceptable man for that purpose, but his lecture, read from manuscript, suggested too strongly the com- panionship of dictionaries and text books. The program Wednesday evening was, “ Moonlight on the Lake” by Mrs. Hammond, Mrs. Chenoweth, Wilber Logan and Prof. Hammond; recitations by Mrs. Waterman and Mias McDonald, both of which were heartily encored; a vocal solo by Mrs. Hammond which was delightfully rendered, and a very instructive ad dress on “ School Law” by Mr. Erick son. The institute closed Thursday afternoon, the last thing done being the adoption of the following resolu tions presented by Prof. Hammond: R e s o l v e d : That the thanks of this insti tuto bo extended to our county suporinton dont for hor enruest and well-directed efforts which have made possible the interest and success of our second annual institute. To the Board of School Trusteos for the use of the school building. To the parents aud patrons for their prosenco and intorost in tho work of the instituto. Notes From the Burton School. The cold weather and frequent storms, reduced our average, of last month to 18. Mr. Wagnild and Mr. Frauklin brought their children to school two of the worst mornings. The great drawback to the^Burton school is the irregularity of yattend- auce. We hope now, that the rush of work is over the parents will make a great effort to have the xrnpils in school five days each week. We closed our second month with exercises which occupied the most of the afternoon, and drew out quite an audience. Mr. and Mrs. Burton, Mr. Brooks, Mrs. Franklin, Myrtle Frank lin, Carrie Farley, Stella Larson, Ber tha Otness aud Mrs. Jake Lindseth were among the visitors. This en couragement on the part of the pa trons is a great help to the pupils as well as the teacher. Mrs. Franklin complimented the pupils, on their in terest and attention and _ the intelliy gent answers\givóñ'-'tó' 'many Ques tions. The vocal concert, chauting of the capitals, etc., were complimen ted by the visitors. The play presented by the whole school entitled Story-land, was very interesting. The design was to en courage conversational delivery, and while the delivery was far from being perfect, it showed a desire on the part of the pupils to improve. Signe Wagnild carried the hardest part. She represented the little girl who dropped to sleep at her desk, while a fairy transformed her apartr ment into a pretty garden full of flowers and trees. The flowers came from Mrs. Larson’s garden and the trees were improvised from jack pine boughs. On. awakening she finds the garden full of little people, and is told that she is in Story-land. The following characters were represented: Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Gordy Two Shoes, wife of Blue Beard, Little One Eye, Little girl with a paper dress, Old Mother Hubbard, Old Mother Goose and her son Jack, Puss in Boots, Little Miss Muffet, Jack and Gill, Little Jack Horner, Little Boy Blue, Babes in the Woods, Old King Cole, Jack the Giant Killer, Robinson Crusoe and a few more. The “Bramble-Bush” song and dance by the little ones was pretty and enjoyed by all. The pretty new flag figured in the closing song, of “Unfurl the Flag,” by the school* Our new seats are .in, and we are fairly well equipped when we get all of the new books. There is no school this week because of the institute. M bs . W aterm an . A Wonderful Man. Marcus Daly is without question the most versatile genius in Montana. He is not only a successful miner, merchant, horse and stock breeder, butcher, banker, lumberman, smelter- man, newspaperman and polittcian, but a successful farmer. This year he has cultivated an immense hay crop, a whole train load of fruit ana and 66,000 bushels of grain. Not only is Mr. Daly actively engaged in all these pursuits, which give employ ment to at least 10,000 men, but he gives to each his personal attention. There is probably no other living man with such a record. Â FORESEENÏRESÜLT. The Election in New* York a Fore told Conclusion. Predicted by the Press Months Ago. The Downfall ot tlie]Rcpublican Party Attributed to thé Base Policy Pursued by Them. The rendit bfc the Election in New York wasifpreséen by all who kept in touch with the trend of public senti ment; there was never a moment that did not point to the election of Van Wyck. After the death of Henry George and prior to the sad event the betting of the class who for years have followed election prog nostics was vastly in favor of the Tammany candidate. In the light of of the returns, though Judge Van Wyck fell short of the united vote of his republican opponents about 15,000 there is.-.,no reason- to suppose that this vote, y wowld - have been given solidly ôt;q ■ any i single 'candidate of the party, for there are too many uncompromising differences to permit of a unitedosuppòrt-' of any man. At the bottom of Tammany’s victory, above and' beyond all else, is the popular revolt against the so-called “reform” which, springing from the fanatical docterines of the Parkhurst school has sought to recreate human ity upon its own plan and carry out its impossible theories has stooped to methods • that no word in the English tongue can 'fitly condemn Fred Grant, loo much of 'a man to remain at the head *of the system which bade.official creatures to decoy outcast women,igto sinning and then handingJthem .over to ,.thi'è dùbgèòn • large share of the ; popular thought when TETON E X C H A N G E !

Thh Streep herder has long been an abuseh individual. “ Let a man act queerly and he is .accused of being a sheep herder; let \ him \smoke cigar- ettes^and knowing one’s shake their heads and say: .“ He-will soon be herding sheep.” - Let him play soli tary and'it is generally conceded that he is just one st3ge from sheep herding and but slightly removed from the asylum. But all this is so6u to be changed. Sheep herding, as it deserves to be, is to become an honored as well as a healthy occupation, all the more pleasant for those in ysearch of free life among the hilli; where all nature delights the mind and’the Avoes and troubles of crowded civilization are forgotton. The bicycle i* the means whereby sheep herding will regain the honored place it held in ancient times and was so often used 'in the Bible to typify the best of men.- Over in Meagher county a young sheep herder is rounding up’ and driving his flock nicely on a- wheel The level and grass-coVered range offers him fine wheelipg ground, and the work, instead of- \jecoming irk some is pleasant. ^ WRli his bike he dares to leave his flock while he pedals after ganie, and those who have seen him with his lariat tied to his handle bars and bis gun strap ped to his back, say that it is aBout as exhilerating a sight as,one cad see in a day’s travel. 1 , C.
