Worth Remembering.

The community with the best roads
is very likely to be the best community.
A narrow tire will dig rut, but a
good broad tire will roll it shut.
The depth of a road is more to be
dreaded than it's length
The state of the road tells the size OF

there were ,995, ,561 names on the list, and On
June 80, 1899, about 993, 900. As far back -
1898 the total had already reached 966, 900.
But the growth of the roll has BY no means in
volved corresponding increase in pension pay
ments. For in lS92-'93. when the number of
pensioners was 966Ol2, the disbursements for
pensions amounted to $3.50, 6,sO6,537. That was
the real "highwater mark" in the Pension Bur.
eau's history. No year since then has seen as
great sum appropriated or spent In lS97-'9S,
with 993,7l4 pensioners, the total expenditure
was $l44, 100000. But in spite of still further
net additions the annual cost of pensions has
fallen to an even lower level in the last three
years, standing at $l3s,253,OOO in lS9s-'99,
sl4s, 462, 600 IN ls99-l9OO, and s13s, sol 900
in 19OO-O1.
But the Commissioners report offers still
other evidence that no recurrence of the record
breaking disbursement figures of 1893 and 1898
is now within the range of probability. Three
years ago there were on the files of the Pension
Bureau no less than 635,O59 unsettled claims.
On June 80 last there were only 4O3, 500 claims
outstanding-a reduction of over 35 per cent.
But Of these 100000 are appeals for reratings
and Al, 900 are Spanish War claims, 30 that of
the vast army of claimants made pensionable by
the legislation of 1890 comparatively few now
remain whose original applications have not been
passed on. With these remaining unadjuste
cases once disposed of an increasing death rate
will undoubtedly cut our pension payments be-
fore many years to $13O,OOO,OoO, perhaps to
$125,OOo,O0O. We may add that on the face
of the record made by the Pension Bureau for
the last twelve mouths, and summarized in Mr..
Commissioner Evanss report, tis difficult to see
how the bureau management can be charged with
any possible lack of energy in sitting and sett-
ling the mass of unadjusted claims left over to it
from previous administrations

How to Get Full Value

The man who advertises once In
while does not get the full value Of bis
advertising. Neither he nor his b,isi-
ness ever benefits from the cumulative
value ofpublicity. His each announce
ment may bear some fruit in proper
ton to its individual value, but one
absorbs nothing of the good wrought by
the other. His firm name is not kept
constantly before the people. 1t is not
unremittingly impressed upon consum-
ers. Hence he is in measure new
advertiser every time he advertises.

NO NEW "HIGHWATER MARK"

COME decidedly misleading conclusions
~ have been drawn from Commissioner Ev-
ans's recent report on the work of the Pension
Bureau for the year ending June 80, 1901. In
most of the abstracts made of this report the i'm
preston has been improperly conveyed that a
new "highwater mark" in pension expenditures
was reached during the closing year of President
McKinleys first administration. A feeble color
ing was given to this contention, perhaps, by the
fact that the roll of pensioners had mounted a
shade nearer the million limit than ever before,
standing on June 80 last at 997,735. But
apart from this single disclosure, there moth
ing whatever in the commissioners elaborate
summary of the bureaus work to suggest an
actual initiation in the nations pension account;
and certainly it is serious error to say, as we
find one of our intelligent Philadelphia contem-
poraries doing, that "thirty-six years after the
close of the Civil War, and under the admins
tratiop of Commissioner of Pensions who has
been denounced as unfriendly to pension claim
ants. there are recorded the highest number of
pensioners and the largest money payments"
Little or no significance attaches to the slight
Increase recorded for the year in the roll pen
sioners. That roll has been practically station
ary for the last ten years. On June 80, 1900,

point i . new na acd one, Tie Posr fean, that
would not Be approved At 6rst sight. The OBJ
iecsions arising from such proposition would
be fostered by the greater distance their children
would have to travel in order to reach the school
room. Those who live nearest to school house
now would probably object the most.
The idea Of consolidating the schools is good
one. The matter of getting children to and
from school from all parts of the township shah
be provided for BY the board. Large Vans or
hacks shall be secured and contracts let to carry
the children back and forth to school. There
may eeen to be little inconvenience at first,
but that sinks into insignifcance when the ad-
vantages ofa graded school system are consider
ed. 1t has been determined by inquiry from a
large number of teachers in ungraded schools Of
Pennsylvania that the average time consumed
for each class is ten minutes. In graded schools
halt hour could be used. 1t is not to be sup
posed that pupils shall be able to get out all
IIelT 1cssSOuO III thc oCilOOi iOOiIi. "A HtOc iiu-
night oil should be used.
The county scholar to-day is not getting as
much good of the public school system as the
scholar in well graded schools. The fault does
not lie with the teacher either. For instance,
in Franklin township there arc ten teachers.
While in Frankliu and Paxtonville there are
two grades, yet the ten teachers are practically
all teaching the same branches every day and
trying to do justice to class in periods of 10
or Is minutes each. If the schools were consol.
idated, halt of the teachers could do the work,
better salaries could be paid and then country
boy and the country girl could get more nearly
out of the public school system, what their town
and city cousins get out of it.
Every teacher and every director should write
to John Hamilton, Sec Of Agriculture, Harris
burg, for Bulletin No. II. The directors owe
it to the pupils Of their districts that they give
to the rising generstiou the best education they
can and the Posi- sincerely believes that this book
will open the way. ipr q better system Of educa-
ton for the boys s girls in the rural districts.
