FOR OLD AGE PENSIONS
British Premier Says Government
WW Take Up the Scheme

London Nov. 20.-Replying to-day to a depu-
tatior OF members of the House of Commons
from the Liberal and Labor parties, Premier
Campbell-Banne said old age pensions
would be taken up as soon as time and money
permitted. He expressed himself as opposed TO
the 'contributOry scheme" because il involved
inQuistorial machinery. Old age pensions, he
continued, far from sapping independence and
undermining thrift would do just the opposite
Any scheme ought to be universal and must be
put into effect by the state, which alone had the
means of carrying it out.
Speaking 10 the same deputation, Mr.. Asquith
Chancellor Of the Exchequer, said there was
nothing nearer his heart than TO be able to sub
NIT a financial plan for such pensions He fa-
vored one altogether dissociated from the poor
law and assured the deputaton that the gov

the locusts do great damage to fruit
trees and shrubbery by eating the
buds and leaves. Nobody has as
vet been found who will swear that
the cicada eats anything. He
seems To be SO busy rasping out
his unearthly sounds that he hasn't
time to eat. The only damage the
locust does is To bore holes into the
limbs of trees and deposits eggs
therein. This kills the limbs

Prof. III. A. Surface, state econo-
mic zoologist, is authority Cor the
statement that this is the year for
the appearance of the seventeen
year locusts. These locusts are
among the most mysterious of
natures productions in the insect
line. Every seventeen years these
cicada emerge from the earth,
screech through the summer, lay
their eggs and give up the ghost.
The noise they make is anything

which the minutes of the previous

aid, Cherry Twp; Secretary, ii. l..

Mr.. G. F. Hunsinger occupied the
first period, subject, Agriculture in
Rural Schools. Mr.. Hunsinger as
serted that rural schools should edu-
Sast tVuitIy y IVY w, iothCi eh'hi
from the farm; that the elements OF
agriculture should be taught not
technical agricnlture; that teachers
who are not in sympathy with coun-
try life and country ideals should
not be employed to teach rural
schools. Mr.. II. III. Gallagher
opened the discussion of this subject
and spoke as follows: The educational
interests have not advanced as have
other interests; do not worry about
the balance in the treasury, but pro-
vide the best possible school facilities
for your children; every dollar SO
spent will come back; provide town
ship high schools in which agri-
culture may be taught and do not
further burden the crowded curricu-
lGm of the common schools.
Co. Supt. Killgore then discussed,
The Course of Study. The course of
study is here to stay; 1t is not only
needed but the people are demanding
it; the course saves years in the
school life of pupils, it overcomes the
evils usually resulting from frequent
change of teachers; it gives pupils
and teachers something definite to
accomplish; it enables parents, di-
rectors and superintendent to deter
mine the faithfulness of the teachers;
it enables pupil to see his progress
and will keep them in school until
they have completed the course.
The Vaccination Law was then
discussed by Mr.. Hunsinger; there
are too many compulsory laws, this
one is bad one. Hon. M. j. Phil
lips; What can we do to get rejected
pupils back into the schools? Hon.
Emerson Collins; The law is a mon
umental blunder, the teacher should
not be made health officer. d. not
agitate against the teacher, the di-
rector or superintendent, they did
not make the law but as sworn ofil
GERS they must respect and obey it;
agitate for the repeal of the law: ig-
norance is more terrible than small
pox.

HERNICE ITEMS.

We approve of the suggestions i'm
the Review about building school
house to accommodate all the interme-
diate grades, but why build it at
Mildred. Bernice has plenty of
ground suitable for school purposes
without paying ii large price for
ground i'm Mildred. There is piece
of ground which lays between the
Murry road and what is known as
the black road opposite the saw mill
which would be in the most central
location, and if it could be built
there, arrangements might be made
with the Connell company to fur
nish steam for heating purposes,
thereby saving the pupils fiom act
ing as janitor. By all means let it
be township high school. Are we
not as much entitled to a township
high school as Lopez: We want the
best as far as schools and education
is concerned.
There is Il great deal of speculation
concerning the burning of the school
house, but we cannot see how any
one could be so degenerate as to fire
Il school house that is benefit to
every one.
