RI SCORES
TEACHERS UNION
Declares That Instructors
at Head Of Movement
Show a Selfish Spirit
CRITICISM RESENTED

Warfare is on in earnest between the
new Teachers Union and the school
authorities. Alfred Roncovieri. Super
intendent of Public Schools, criticises
the organizers of the Teachers FEEDER
alton which was formed Saturday He
says they are selfish and declares that
the Board of Education does not have
to be coerced to do their best for the
teachers. Personally, he says, he ia
vors an organization of teachers. but
he declares that that recently formed
is not headed by the right kind Of
pedagogues.
In support of his statement that the
organizers of the federation are selfish
Roncovieri says that If the money for
which they are fighting was not used
for the building of temporary schools
there would be 240 teachers who are
now employed without work. The or
ganizers. however, would not be among
those to be thrown out as a result of
this as they are among the oldest in
structors in the city and are safe from
danger of losing their places through
lack of classes Knowing this, he
says, the teachers at the head of the
new organization do not care If some
of their fellows suffer as result of
lack of school room, or that children
must go without instruction for the
same reason.
FULL PAY PROMISES
I'VE have asked the Board of Super
visors for money to pay the teachers, :"
he said, land as there has been greater
revenue to the city than was at first
expected there is no doubt In my mind
concerning their getting pay for full
time. We have been doing all we
could for them, and they will have no
need to organize to coerce us, for their
pay will come anyhow.
we have been misrepresented by
these few teachers who are organizing.
They are guessing that the law pro-
viding for the payment of teachers
salaries before other expenditures will
be revoked through our efforts. This
is wrong and unjust reflection on
us. They have misstated the law, too.
1t provides for payment for work actu-
ally done and not for vacation time
The law requires only six months
school when it is not possible to con-
tinue longer, and it does not require
that teachers should be paid for the
other six months.
THE few who have organized this
federation have treated the school
authorities as though they were enc
mics. They have invited strangers to
speak before them and have expressed
opposition to our being present.
1T was not our desire in the first
place to hold back vacation pay but
you cannot pay out two dollars when
you only possess one. We did not have
the money, which was not our fault
GOOD FAITH. SAYS ALTMANN
Aaron Altman, president of the
Board of Education, declares also that
what has been done regarding the pay
ment of salaries was necessity at
that time, and that the board is acting
! in good faith.
Members of the teachers union re-
sent the criticism of RoncoSieri. They
say he does not understand their
motives. and that they have banded to-
gether to accomplish desirable results
which the school authorities have been
unabN to bring about. They declare

of architectural merit, but also suited
to the special purpose to which 1t will
be put, and with that aim in view the
lighting and ventilation equipment was
given particular attention by the build
ers. Work on the structure is being
rushed, and it is the hope of the firm
that the doors may be thrown open to
the public on January 2.

FITTING HORsESHoES WHILE HOT
Government Bulletin Gives lmpOr-
tant Advice to HOrseshoers.


A bulletin of the Department of
Agriculture says: Few farriers have
either the time or the skill necessary
to so adjust cold shoe to the hoof that
it will fit, as we say. "air-tight. +"
Though the opponents of hot fitting
draw a lurid picture Of the direful con-
sequences of applying hot shoe to the
hoof, it is only the abuse of the practice
that is 10 b. condemned. IL a heavy
shoe at yellow heat be held tightly
pressed against hoof which has beep
pared too thin, till it embeds itself.
serious damage may be done. But a
shoe at dark heat may be pressed
against a properly dressed hoof long
enough to scorch and thus indicate to
the farrier the portions of horn that
should be lowered, without appreciable
injury to the hoof, aud to the ultimate
benefit of the animal.
The horse owner should insist on the
nails being driven low. They should
pierce the wall not above an inch aud
five-eighths above the shoe. A nail
penetrating the white line and emerg-
ing low ON the wall destroys the least
possible amount of horn, has a wide
and strong clinch, rather than a narrow
one, which would be formed near the
point of the nail. and furthermore has
the strongest possible hold on the wall,
because its clinch is pulling more
nearly at a right angle to tie grain
(horn tubes) of the wall than if driven
high. Finally, do not allow the rasp
TO touch the wall above the clinches.

POTATO THAT RESISTS DISEASE
Black Scotch Kidney Spud May Prove
Boon to Farmers.

A report from London. England, says:
At recent meeting of the Royal Horti-
cultural Society, 7. A. Scartett. the
well-known specialist of Eiinburg, ex-
hibited tubers of what is said to be a
disease proof potato. This potato is not
a new variety. but very old one. a
black Scotch kidney. called Trochie
Grant. and was supposed to be lost to
cultivation. but it has been re-dis
covered and brought to light.
1t is said, in connection with this po.
tato, that there is documentary evil
dence. to show that. though grown
since l745. it has never shown the least
sign Of disease.
The color is not quite what is wanted
in these days. but it is something to
hear of variety that has never been
known to take disease aud. with this po-
tato to work on, hope is given that a
disease.resisting variety Of modern type
may yet be raised that will be boon to
farmers and others who suffer more or
less every year with disease in this
important crop.
