The question of teachers' examinations is one which has long agitated the minds of our educators. The number of branches has increased until the applicant now undergoes examination in ten different subjects. It is more difficult to secure a twelve months' license than it was formerly, to secure a twenty-four months' license. This state of affairs we believe is in accordance with justice. There are too many unprepared, so-called teachers m the profession, and the sooner that these are compelled to leave the field of teaching the better it will be for patron, pupil and worthy teacher.

The trustees should secure the best possible aid, aud for it a liberal financial allowance should be made. The good teacher can demand good wages, and the trustee owes it to himself and his constituents to secure the best help regardless of prices. School life, at best, is short, and the precious time should not be frittered away upon unpromising experiments. The school room is a place of development and it is too often looked upon by alleged teachers as a financial retreat instead of a place which should be consecrated to knowledge. The examinations of to-day are not true tests of a teacher's ability, for often the applicant is able to secure license and yet is totally unlit to be left in charge of a

school, and on the other hand many whose success in the school room has been of the best cannot secure even a twelve months' grade,because they happen to fail to answer technical questions which have little or no bearing upon their next year s labors in the school. However, examinations so far have proven the best tests for teachers, and though they may to a certain extent be injurious to the teachers' profession, they are after all productive of much more good than harm.

ONE DAY MORE, Then Perpetual Motion. STRANGE LIFE-WORK OF AN OLD MAN,

WHO DIES IN Ti?E ASYLUM.

POOR

The death of Robert T. Havens occurred last Friday night, and after seven ty-f our years of s t udy an d research upon our little planet he passed from human eYes, a seeker after the "Uncoiulilional Force of

the Universe". Seven years ago he came to Bloomington and was employed at the chair factory and at the very stan made known to the people working with him, his discovery of "the law of perpetual motion". During this period of his life he found slender encouragement. Jle was engaged in the making of a model designed to illustrate the mode of operation of his "law", and

one day he carried this mechanical

contrivance to the then president of J

Indiana University. After a hurried survey of the object that represented fifty-three years of study to the white-haired student, the wise man full of the dogmatism of the schools, -brutally ,said, "Why! sir,

you arc a fool." With quiet dignity the philosopher arose and said, as he fixed his pale blue eyes upon the angry countenance of the learned Doctor, "The Apostle Paul prayed to be delivered from unreasonable men. I do not pray to be so delivered, but I deliver myself, and so he vanished through the open doorway. Mr. Havens was a native of Canada. In early life he spent several years among the Indians, and while floating upon the pleasant waters of Lake Winnipeg in the

company of a young Indian friend, he developed the germ of the principle to which he devoted his life. He at one time realized about ten thousand dollars from the sale of a contrivance used in making tin roofs. This money he loaned to a leading business man of Urbana, Ohio, and it could not be found upon the death of the borrower. His son owned everything and Mr. Havens was destitute. Taking up the trade of a chairmaker, he was enabled to

offers from would-be purchasers, to refuse or accept. The man who exhibits good fruit, grain, vegetables or stock at his county fairs, is well

repaid, though he fails to get a pre- i

mium. I he zest and enjoyment added to our fairs is alone a good return. Then the fairs have been

aided and the pay will come by and by. Nothing has done more or will do more for the farmer than good county fairs. It has done more than

anything else r,o introduce improved I

To no man in the county is more 1 he was naralvzed and became a

firedit due for tke recent success of

the railroad elections than Lewis BollmaD, who conducted the campaign through the newspapers. His articles were read in every township and were unanswerable. Next to him comes the newspapers, that for two months have been making the fight. At a meeting of the committee that first took the matter in charge it was decided that the campaign must be conducted in this way, and since that time no effort Las been spared to convince the people of the advantage of an east and west route. The Telephone does not fegret its service for such a valuable cause ; it did not get a cent for its work, and willingly contributes it for the upbuilding and welfare of the county. mm m Salt Creek township seems t be left to hold the bag in the late railroad election. In order to spite Bloomiugton and a few men nearer home, many voters walked up to the polls and deliberately east a ballot against their own interests. It was a demonstrated fact that it would cost more to furnUh the ties through the township than the donation asked ; yet with all the excellent timber that can be used for that purpose ad nothing else, they refuse the donation. Of all the townships, Salt Creek least of all could afford to defeat the road. The result will probably be that the road will be changed into Benton, which is anxious to grant the appropriation.

He relates the fctory of the great struggles and wonderful success of sueh men as Leland Stanford, f.:. P. Huntington, J. C. Flood, J. W. Mackey, Mark Hopkins, and the other wellknown Californiausof princely fortuned. He shows how, in spite of their obstacles and reverses, their pluck,persevereance and tin usual natural abilities enabled them to build up fortunes in a few years that were never equaled in the history of the world.

m wa a great favorite, winning the affection and love of inmates and those having the place in charge. In the city he was not widely known and did not at any time have a large circle of students, but gradualljr a little company gathered about him. His singleness of purpose and love for the "machine" attracted them. "Just thiee weeks more and I will silence the scoffers," and the little circle waited anxiously until at last "just wait one week longer, and I will have the friction on the center of the wheel9, and then upon the day of his death, holding up his paralyzed hand, "If I had just one more day, I would put it together. 1 don't care for myself, but I would like to be regarded as a benefactor of my race", and so with this christian desire upon his lips an atheist died. Rev. Mr. Philputt on the occasion ef the funeral delivered a very touching address upon the life and character of the dead man. At the chair factory Mr. Havens was known as the "Old Philosopher", and it was certainly true that he had lived in familiarity with the great thinkers of the past, and was worthy of the respect of his fellows. The Telephone- understands that the model of Mr. Havens will be presented to the State University. PREPARE FOR THITfAIRS.
