ABOUT DIR. sHoRTLIpGE.

n HE members of the Board of Education
i have paid President Shortlidge of that
body the compliment of signing the required
petition by which he will again become a can
didate for president of that body. We presume
that if every one in Wilmington who thinks that
DIR. Shortlidge should be reelected President
of the Board were to sign the petition people
would be kept busy writing their names until
the crack of doom.
We have always regarded membership in the
Board of Education as the performance of a pa
trotic duty. Happily the conduct of the affairs
of the board are not governed by political con-
sderatons. The board is a non-partisan body.
Membership in the board entails sacrifice Of
time on the part of the members and their only
reward is that which comes from the satisfac-
tion of having performed some duty for the ben
EFT Of the community.
There is no more important public position
in our city life than the presidency of the Board
OF Public Education. The board has the care
of the rising generation. It influences the fu-
ture citizenship. Whether that citizenship shall
be good or bad, depends in a great measure upon
the training that the children receive in the
schools.
The city is fortunate, therefore, in having a
man like DR.. Shortlidge who is willing TO give
so much Of his time and effort to educational
matters. He is devoted to the cause, is alive TO
the interests Of the schools, is not carried way
by fads, is not too progressive nor too conserva-
tive. He is always standing up and fighting for
the schools.
1t IS gratifying also to know that our Board OF
Education IS getting along in harmonious man
ner as evidenced by the unanimous call of the
members that President Shortlidge shall sue
ceed himself. We have no doubt that the peo-
pie Of the city will give a hearty second to the
motion OF the members of the board and that

The so-called manila paper has long
been made from WORKOUT ropes or ma

turned out the product were in Eu-
rope or America. "Cogon" grass,
hemp, bamboo, banana and many palm
trees have been used to make paper
Good newspaper and book material
can be made from the cogon grass,
which grows wild in marketable guam
titles, in many parts of Luzon. Phil
ippine bamboos make strong paper

plant being long and thick. The waste
from hemp strippings makes a paper
fine for insulating purposes. Heml
waste commands a high price In the
United States. According to the las

u 90 Known through all parts of the
.ar,d that the soil of the Philippines
:, very rich and fertile. Yet unmeas'
,,.ad lands are lying idle in the con-
stapt bright sunshine and never titled
and only shrubs and useless grasses
grow on them. /
Thic is due to many reasons, one OF |
which is the lack of good roads When
tbpre are good roads through all parts
~ our country, the farmer VIII De
very glad to begin to wake up MS
.leening land. because in the firSt
n,oce he can transport his products
n the market easily, writes a Filipino
student in Farm, Stock and Home.
From this fact he can obtain always
mucb Drofit. When the roads are bad
the farmer and the animal can hardly
carry instruments to work with, and
thew get tired easily, but where good
roads are built this is not true, 1oT
then he and his beast can work very
fast.
During the rainy season the pigs on
tho farms should not be permitted TO
dig the roads in order to get food,
for this causes destruction. AS we
already know, when the road from
the farm to the town is good, the
farmer can haul his products to the
market easily,-in the rainy season
as well as in the dry season.
Merchants are also very dill1gent tC
90 to his farm to buy his vegetables
Thus he can obtain always much gain
When the good roads have coaxed the
farmer to produce more than he dc
previously, then there will certain!
be many merchants to carry on com
merce, and steamers to carry sail
products to every part OF the gloo
and therefore the country to WhlcI
these farmers belong will be in pros
perity and progress.
It is the usual talk of the commo
farmer that one reason why he doe
not like to raise many vegetables
that other people steal them at nlgt
and this makes him lazy to worl
Sometimes they steal also his instr
ments and his animals, but if the'
are good roads, those who keep ordt

tfce through all parts Of this country to |
follow the so-called "One-crOp' sys.
TEN Of farming. When rice is the |
principal product, other crops are not |
raised; when hemp, other crops are
neglected. This is a very miserable
method of farming because when rice
or hemp fail to grow the people sui
fer very much from hunger, directly
or indirectly.
"Diversiied farming" is Just the
method that the Filipino must rut at
once into practice. On account Of this
fact he determines to raise more
crops than he has ever raised before,
in order to get more profit. With
his gains he can buy better instru-
ments and carabos for his farm. Now
he can raise as many crops as he de-
sires.
First of all he plants rice, after rice
is harvested he can plant one-half his
land with mangoes and the other half
with corn. After that he can raise
many kinds of vegetables and so on
keeping on planting and planting.
This process of diversified farming IS
very advantageous to the farmer as
we'll as to the land itself. To the
farmer, he can get always much profit

becomes better and richer, consequent
