Kendall. Mcntana, Novernier 11, 1902. 3. WON'T REMAIN SINGLE Montan3's Schoolina'atris Soon Marry Teachers in the Schools Change Often—Usual'T Wed Ater First Term One of the letters received a few days ago at the office of State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction W. W. Welch recalled a story that ap- peared some time ago in one of, the eastern periodicals. This story was ba.:ed upon the difficulties experienc ed by the board of school trustees of a district in one of the northwest- ern states in securing teachers for a school. It appeared in the form of extracts from the town paper, which was alleged to have printed the items at intervals of one week, the chron- icle covering a period of seven months. One week the paper announced with much gladness in its tone that the trustees had secured the 'services of Miss Blank, of some town in the east, and that the re -opening of the school, which had been cicsM for sev- eral weeks on account of the marriage of Coe schoolma am, would take place the following week. The net week's issue of the paper recorded the fact that the school was again closed, tne new teacher having been married within three days after she arrived in town. The neat number of the chron- icle told of toe employment ot anoth- , er young woman for the distrfct school, and predicted that al. would once more move along swimmingly in the school room. But it was not to be. for the next issue told how this young woman had accepted the hand of some young lovelorn citizen of the town, and the engagement at the school was all off. And so the stOry went, the record including the arrival of the two young women teachers, one being brought in as a reserve supply—when all calcu- lations were knocked into a cocked hat by a double wedding the very week. At one time one of the trus- tees made a trip east to select a teach- er, and wired that all was well—that a teacher had been lound that could be depended upon. But the trustee fell in love with the young woman De - fore they reached their destination and they were married before arriv- ing here. Finally, in despair, the trustees engaged a man to take charge of the school—and, as the story books say, everything went along smoothly ever after. But to the local side of the story. The letter received at the state su- perintendent's office, and which re- called the story lust referred to, came from Mrs. Fannie E. Chenoweth, su- perintendent of the schools of Teton county, being the written report ac- companying the statistical and finan- cial reports for the year. It any were so ungallant and obstinate as to in- timate or believe that the Montana schoolma'am is not one of the most attractive of her profession, then let them read Mrs. Cnenoweth's letter: \The most serious hindrance to ef- fective work in our schools,\ says the Teton superintendent, \is the frequent changes in teachers, which difficulty is not going to be overcome by any legislative body, the most frequent cause being, in this county, that of the Marriage licenses being as fre- quently issued as the one to teach. \Since being in the office 75 per cent of the teachers who have receiv- ed certificates have married after the first term.\ Having given the statistics in sup- port of her contention that the ques- tion is one that the legislature can- not satisfactorily deal with, Mrs. Che- noweth turns philosopher and accepts the inevitable with the following Sol- omonic declaration: \But as the good of the country is what we are seeking, 'tis all for the best. We can always get teachers.\ All of which may Le taken to mean that the Teton men who are groaning under the yoke of what someone has seen fit to term \single cussedness' may go on with the good work of capturing the jewels who are engag- ed in teaching the young idea how to shoot. EDITOR TOO FAT To Be or Any Use In a 'little Encounter —Was Redly Whipped . The large fat man who edits the Searchlight came near having his light tu.ned out recently in Culbert- son, says the Havre Plainuealer. The editor is one of those tag ponderous bodies who move with great delibera- tion because of billowy pearls of fat that roll over his stomach like wave- lets in a brook suffering from swallow- .ng gravel. The editor, whose loins burned from great potations of hill water that fired ais soul with lust for blood decided to chastise Manager Brady of ti.e notel and sailed in after him lace a Hoghead engine going after a gopher hill of snow. Mr. Brady, who is an agile man, sidestepped, ducked and coun- tered on the fan -like ear of the editor with such force that he ielled him and it looked ter a tittle time as if: they might as well beef him and keep toe meat from spoiling. Lie, however, regained consciousness, and is, up to the latest reports, among the live 3nes. The old sixahooter method of settling disputes we not with sorrow is dying out in Culbertson since the tenderfoot with his law books has broken into the land. LARGE SKELETON FOUND R1111.1 to be the Roues of Mastodon of Prehistoric Thor*. H. W. Goss and L. Newman have located the skeleton of a petrified meg- tadon, says the Havre Plaindealer. The bones are those of some giant beast of the middle ages that prob- ably lived in these parts iong before the Bear Paw mountains were a hole in the ground. As soon as the bones can be removed they will De brought to the city and the finders will in all probability present them to the Smith- sonian Institute at Wasnington. Col- onel Sweet, a former resident here, several years ago discovered the bones of a salurian elphaa primigen- ius, which was presented to the Wash- ington museum. There is every evidence that Mon- tana at a prehistoric time was inhab- ited by large and fierce beasts as in many places the bones of former kings of the forest have been found in limited quantities. Arthur Simp- son, the Milk River rancaer, a few days ago reported that he had found the petrified hip bone of some giant animal of past ages. The bone weigh- ed several hundred pounds, was sev eral feet long and eighteen inches in thickness. Whether the bones found in the vicinity of Havre are those of the brontosaurus robnatua or the ich thyosaurusus baptandin has not been • determined. Club Saloon!
