"How May ths Institutes be Mado'of Greater Value to the Teachers?" snd "Should Examination for Teachers' Certifi cates Immediately' Follow the Institute?" being kindred subjects were discussed to gether, the opinion of the superintendents present being that the institutes should attempt less academic work and be con ducted more on the lecture plan and that examinations should be divorced from the Institute. Some of the superintendents present stated that they had Inaugurated a plan of holding the examinations In ad vance of tbe institute and had found it most successful. The discussion on the subject "Should Agriculture be Taught In the District Schools?" showed that the meeting favored such Instruction In the rural schools. That Is, it favored the teaching of the elements of agriculture through what Is generally known as "nature study."

Superintendent McManus of this city ad dressed the meeting on "The Iowa State Teachers' Reading Circle." He urged that every teacher become a member of tho circle as by so doing they could best pre pare for the professional examination In didactics. The reading and study of the Bible, he suggested, was necessary to a proper interpretation of literature, saying In pare Since a knowledge of the Bible, and par ticularly the Old Testament, is necerSiry to a proper Interpretation of literature, lhe book will be well received by teachers who view It largely from the standpoint ot Its literary value; but It will fill a still larger flace as a work of ethical Instruction for he young; from this point of view, the Old Testament storlea are without parallel In the world's literature. In view of . the great emphasis now put upon the Import ance of ethical Instruction, the book should be read by all who are Interested in the material which quickens the conscience and strengthens the emotions of all peoples. GIVES THE CONSTABLE! A VF.RD1CT Connty Will, Appea))l fsis to Teat the Right Hoi.' Fees. Constable Albertl of Justice Ouren's court secured in the narlct cptll't yesterday a Judgment against Pottawattamie county for $24.40 for tees Which had baen certified to the Board of Supervisors but dlsullowed by it on recommendation of ths county at torney's office. The demurrer filed by the county was overruled and as the county eleoted to stand 'upon the demurrer Judg ment was entered for Albertl. The amount at stake was small, . but the queatlun In volved .County Attorney Klllpack considers of sufficient Importance to take the case on appeal to the supremo court, which will be done. . . , , "la a constable entitled to charge a fee every time he produefs a prisoner Xrom the county Jail in a Justice eourt T'' Is the question at issue. Every time that Con stable Albertl served an "order to pro duce" a prisoner On the county Jailor he taxed up a fee of SO cents and 10 cents mileage. The constable tock the position that an "order to produce" was to all in tents and purposes an order "to release." For Instance, a person whose hearing was in progress in a Justice court and who had been sent to the county Jail waiting its de termination might be brought before t4 court several times before ' the hearing would be completed and each time that he was taken back to the Jail and again brought to the court the constable taxed up the fee of 30 cents and 10 cents mileage. In one case alone the officer hod taxed up the fee and milage for no less than nine teen orders "to produce," making a total of $7.00, which the officer demanded . for taking the prisoner to and from ths county Jail. County Attorney Klllpack takes the po sition that the fee taxed by the constable for the service of an order to produce .Is not a fee contemplated by statute, inas much aa the constable is allowed a per diem while in attendance on court. Mr. Klllpack Is of ths opinion that the question is of sufficient Impqrtance to, se cure a ruling on it from the supreme court and accordingly secured an order from Judge Wheeler to appeal the case.
