BLOW TO SEORET SOJIETIES.
Mcmben aro Excited Ovor a Bill in the
Ho-iso ol Representatives.
Members ol the fraternal beneficiary
societies, orders and associations which
nav beneliis in case ot death or sick
ness are much wrought up over a bill
which has been introduced into the
House of Reuiesentatives by Repre
sentative Henderson of Allegheny.
I'hev believe that the bill, it made a
law, might crush all the lodges and
beneficial societies out of existei C .
he bill proposes to place all such
associations under the supervision of
the Insurance Commisssoner, and
gives him authority at any time to
exami le into their affairs, and provides
that the expenses of such examina
tions shall be paid out of the treasur
ies of the organizations.
Every association not chartered by
this State is to designate the insurance
Commissioner as its attorney, upon
whom all lawful process against it
must be served. Whenever a society
fails to file us annual certificate or in
case the Insurance Commissioner
deems it nacessary,he shall have power
to examine into the condition,business
metho ls, account, books and invest
inent of such association, which ex
amination shall be at the expense of
the organization, $100 it it nas no
rirve fund, and $200 if it has. No
Fraternal association shall be permit
ted to do business in the ttate witn-
out the consent of the Insurance
Commissioner.

Institute at Oanby.
The local institute held at Canby
on the 23 of February was well attend
ed. Mr. Harry Dolman called the in
stitute to order at 10:30, after which
all joined in singing "America". A
prayer wa9 offered by Mr. Sylvester
Kitchen! and alter the election 01
Secretary, Walter Abbott of the Miller
town school recited. Pupils from the
. ..m ill.
Kitchen school then sang "t aouie
your own Canoe." Several recitations
followed.
An essav bv Miss Lena Kitchen,
"Some thmiL'hts on Lancua?e Study"
emphasized the need of the children's
hearing good pure English in the home
and school. Pupils troni the Kitchen
and Millertown schools gave recita
tions after which Miss Rebecca John
read a naner entitled "A Sketch of
the Life of Queen Victoria." Messrs
Clark Kitchen and I-rank 1'erkins
favored the institute with a duet fol
lowed by recitations by Bertha White
and Mertle Thomas.
Miss Anna Kitchen read an excell
ent paper on "Advanced Reading."
Pupils, she said should acquire a taste
for good literature, should be able to
decide which is for the day and wnicn
is fnr all time, and should also be able
to read well aloud. '1 hey should be
b-.l to see and (eel the beauties of the
selection read in choice of words, fig
ures of speech, and happy expressions.
When classics can be had for 3, 4, or
S cents each, one cannot plead the
vcin;fl of pxnense.
I wo littli? eirls from the Ikeler
school, Helen Kline and Blanche
Mordan, acted a short dialogue in a
very natural manner. The quarrel,
tears, and making up were quite real.
Gertrude Vance followed with a recita
tion that was well received by the in
stitute. The chairman, Mr. Dolman,
thf.n addressed the institute upon
"Necessary Appliances of the School
room." The teacher should no more
be handicapped by appliances twenty
years out of date, than the farmer
should be compelled to use scythe and
flail in place of binder and thresner.
The boys and girls from the country
rrrnW on to fill the Dositions of honor
and trust in our countryr and they
should have the best possible chances
in public schools equipped with mod
ern .mnliances and skillful teachers.

After singing, the institute aajourneu

The afternoon session openea wnn
music, after which Irene Artman of
the Ikeler school recited. Miss Bessie
Kitchen and Erma Mordan, Messrs.
Clark Kitchen. Ammerman Miller and
F.ank Perkins of Kitchen's school
then rendered "Beautiful Flag of the
Prr " As the instructors trom the
Normal School had not yet arrived,
Mr. Dolman read Hubbard's Message
to Garcia. Mabel Kester then sang a
solo with ease and grace that captured
the audience. Miss John next recited
a little German poem, "Die Lorelei,"
which was followed by music trom tne
Millertown school.
Prof Sutliff of the Normal school
addressed the institute upon the sub
ject of Arithmetic, in which he dwelt
upon the need of absolute accuracy,
and of tp.ichmi? the concrete and
practical parts of the subject thorough
