THE soMERs FEVER CASES
Citizen" Says Teachers Cannot be Justly
Accused of Negligence,


To the EDITOR
Some of the people in the neighbor-
hood of Somers seem to be of the
opinion that the scarlet fever, which is
now raging in the vicinity, was
brought there and spread by the school
teacher of the district. 1t mas also
been stated that while spending his
spring vacation at home he was at
tackled by the disease and through his
negligence he carried the germs into
the school at the opening of the next
term.
ButImaking this statement is put
ting the cart before the horse, as X
will be very well remembered that
there had been several cases of the
disease in othe vicinity before the
teacher was attacked by it. One of
the victims was pupil of his school;
and it is equally we'll known that the
teacher swas taken sick while at his
work in the school during the last
week of the winter term, after which
he confined himself to his home until
all danger of contagion was over.
All this goes to show that the teacher
is by no means to be held responsible
for the spreading of the disease and
: that the community will be obliged to
look in another direction for its source.

PHILIPPINE PROGRESS.

1t is gratifying to observe that the
public press of the Philippines is tax
ing an active part in awakening the
islands from the slumber of centuries,
and bringing them into the current of
modern progress. The various Manila
papers that find their way to the Unit
ed States all sound the same note of
progress. La Verdad, the official or
gan of the Filipino, Independent
Catholic church, in discussing the
things which are essential to progress,
places the relations of capital and
labor first and says:
1.-THE people most concerned as to
the future progress of the Philippines
are those who are native to the soil
and who expect to remain there and
rear their families. If they expect any
different conditions than those which
have obtained in the past, they must
frown down any attempt on the part
of those who are disposed to keep the
islands in constant political and in
dustrial turn OIL Many labor and pc.
litical agitators are honest in their
efforts to ameliorate the condition of
the masses, but nine out of ten lack
judgment and the capacity necessary
to bring about any great reform. The
result is that they are only enabled to
stir up trouble and discourage the in
vestment of capital which. instead of
helping labor, de troys many chances OF
employing it. The progress which
would be made in the Philippines if
the energy of the government was not
so largely engrossed with this element
would be truly marvellous. Railroads
and macadamized highways would be
constructed in every direction; water.
ways would be impro we'd; in fact, il
the short period of five or six years
every acre of tillable land in the Arch
ipelago would be tributary to modern
transportation facilities.
La Verdad addresses it's readers al
follows: "Just think what it would
mean to you personally to have {
road highway running past you
farm which would enable you tt

A NEW MEMORIAL DAY.

At a recent encam pment, two years
ago we think, the National Grand
Army of the Republic considered the
proposition to make the last Sunday
in May Memorial Day, giving up the
week day celebration, Various rea-
sons were given for the change, but
the chief argument was the fact that
the 30th of May has lost its distinc-
tiveness as a day for the oommemora-
tion of the deeds and patriotism of
the men who fought and died and
suffered incredible hardships to save
their country from destruction.
Generations have arisen to whom
the war for the Union is a matter of
reading, of listening to discourse at
camp fires, at public celebrations
when there is any knowledge at all of
the past war; they know nothing from
personal understanding of the terrible
conflict. of the tidings of mighty bat
ties, the reports of mighty hosts
slain, the movements of great bodies
of troops which were to crush rebel
lion, the failures and bitter disap-
pointments instead of victory and
peace that came before the last sur
render, the long agony throughout
the land, saddened people waiting
for the war to cease. y The children
of these generations, light hearted,
sobered by no appreciation of the
awful sacrifices through which they
had preserved for them a country and
a government, turn from memorial
services and observances to sport.
Memorial Day is holiday and to
them holiday means recreation and
plans for its enioyments.
Now if an early summer holiday is
desirable for sports and general rec
reation, such day should be or
dained; it is an affront to the mem

vors, TO convert a day set apart for

the dissertation by making some early
summer Sunday true Memorial Day.

A TUSKEGEE GRADUATION.

The closing exercises of the agricul-
tural and mechanical departments of
the Tuskegee Institute were held on
Wednesday, and the program given at
that time is simple but exceedingly
effective illustration of Booker L.
Washington's work. Here is a list of
honor students and their commence,
ment subjects:
"How Crops Grow" Wade Ham,
mond, Alfalfa, Ala. "Truck Garden
ing" King S. Johnson, Columbia,
Tex. "Care of Bedroom" Stella
NJ Spikes, Kosciusko, Miss. "Pre-
paration for an Emergency Opera
tion," Mary E. Crittenden, Salisbury,
N. c.. "The Office of a Mason's
Tools, - William w. Randall, Marion,
Mis-. Chow to Construct a DyDa-
no." John b. Twitty, Lenexa, Kan.
The various numbers were illustrated
with practical work in the trades rep
resented.
What a contrast there is beween
this and the ordinary commencement
program that always appears at this
season of the year. The average grad
uation essay or Grafton leads one to
speculate on what will become of the
graduate, if the ideas and sentiments
expressed on those delightful days in
June are carried into real life. But
in the Tuskegee program there is moth
ing to create a smile. 1t is a fulfill
ment of the Booker 7. Washington
idea and therein appears the hope of
the race. These negroes who can take
care of bedroom, use mason's tools
skillfully, or construct dynamo will
have little trouble in solving the
great problems of life. They will be
useful men and women and chat is the
sort that the world is looking and
waiting for.

The predicament of Vermont farm .
ers in not being able to secure enough
help for their farms is by no means
peculiar to the State. Thus early
in the season the farmers of Canada
and the west are crying for laborers..
The shortage of farm hands in On
tario alone is estimated at 10000.
The wheat districts of Canada are so
badly in need Of help. and, moreover,
some large works about to be under
taken in the far west, notably the ex-
tension of the Grand Trunk Railway.
are likely to suffer for lack of men to
carry them on. The same story is
heard in the western States. The
Free Employment Bureau of Kansas,
for example, reports that the farm
ers have already sent in acquisitions
for nearly 1000 men, more than were
used last year, making the total need
of Kansas up to date over 16, 600.
These men will earn during the COM
ing harvest from 81. 80 to 80. 80 a day
and their keep. The harvest proper
lasts about twenty days and the
threshing season from eighty to a
hundred. Altogether man can cas-
lily count on three and half months
of highly renumerative labor, and the
scarcity of men promises to send prices
oven higher than those which have

The English newspapers take ex-
ceptions to Andrew Carnegie's recent
utterances on the relations of the
United States and Canada, in which
he said: Canada has no future ex-
cept as part of the United States.
The London Chronicle says: Mr..
Carnegie is an eminently successful
captain of industry, and an undoubt
ed authority on business affairs, but
he has we think, to employ a phrase
with which he is probably familiar,
bitten off more than he can chew
when he assumes the role of prophet.
Prof. Goodwin Smith used to talk in
this strain years ago. yet Canada is
today not only in closer sympathy
than ever with the mother country,
but is actually peopling her north
west territory with immigrants from
her republican neighbor, 1t is esti-
mated that no fewer than 33, 900 per
SONS crossed the border from the
United States last year, and the in

which can develop its external trade.

from total of $24l. 900, 600 to 1923,

absorption by it's neighbor and rival
which Mr.. Carnegie appears to an
ticipate-and hope.'
