The Weather and the Crops.

fNew Orleans Picayune, 26th.)
The past week has been rather
more favorable from a weather point
of view for the cotton crop than The
several weeks Immediately preced-
ing The hurricane off the Texas
coast. which did so much damage
in the neighborhood of Galveston
in its path northward, brought
much welcome rain to the greater
part of Texas, where the crop had
been suffering from excessive heat
and lack Of moisture. While the
rainfall i'm Texas was somewhat un-
evenly distributed, there can be no
denying the fact that the rain area
was pretty extensiveand the drought
has consequently been pretty thor
oughly broken.
In the central and eastern por-
tions of the cotton belt the weather
last week was generally favorable.
There was sufficient rainfall to serve
all purposes and enough sunshine
and heat to keep the crop growing
we'll. As result, conditions have
improved all through the Missls-
sippi Valley and in the Atlantic
coast States. While farmers gen
orally report an improvement, ane
there is no doubt that the highe
prices have stimulated extra eXer
tions and the utilization OF mucl
acreage that might otherwise hav
| been abandoned to the grass am
weeds, it is generally held that tn
outlook does not point at best I
more than a moderate crop.
| From all portions of the soutl
there is but one report as to tn
corn crop. 1t will be the larges
] ever grown in this section, and iron
present appearances it IS doing fhe
ly. Other grain and forage crop
also promise well.

The English Channel spanned.

The dream of Napoleon was to
find a way Of overcoming the obsta-
Gle which the English Channel pre-
sentcd to his conquest of Britain,
and that stretch of water has proved
the insurmouDtable barrier to all
other continental kings and emper-
ors since the days of civilization who
have envied the riches and prosper
ity Of the Mistress Of the Seas. -
But it Is now, to some extent at
least, to be overcome by the aero
plane and aviator. For the first
time, on last Sunday, this Channel
of twelve miles of water, from Ca
lais, France, to Dover, England,
was crossed in an airship, under
the guidance of a Frenchman named
Louis Breliot, who made the voyage
in less than half an hour. There
is no telling what will be developed
by this air navigation that IS just
now making such wonderful prog
ress towards feasibility and utility.
When the Morse system of tele-
graphy was first demon%trated as a
success a high official at Washing
ton asked what sized package 1t
would carry. In somewhat the same
sense the English people may in
quire how many cannons can these
airships transport.

Public Education.

During the session of County Super
intendents and School Commissioners
in Baltimore Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of last week, the school
affairs of the State were pretty thor
oughly discussed, and some progress
sive steps were suggested. A reso-
luton was passed suggesting that a
change should be made in the By
Laws so that School Boards may al
low teachers half pay for as many as
twenty sick days during the school
year; the present law provides for
three sick days per term.
DR.. Lewis presented strong paper
on How to Secure Trained Teachers
for the Schools" He said that the
answer is admittedly difficult, but that
faith and courage on the part of
School Boards would help to solve
the problem, provided School Com
teachers to take charge of schools.
DIR. Bucher of the Johns Hopkins
University, made a good speech on
Summer Schools for Teachers in
Maryland" Many OIL the States have
established such schools, and last
summer about 100 teachers from
Maryland attended such schools in
other states. A consensus of opinion
was to the effect that our state should
endeavor to have the Johns Hopkins
open such a school, provided the coun-
ties would cooperate and give suffi-
cient encouragement.
''The Salary Law of 1908" was the
subject of Mr.. McMaster, County
Superintendent of Worcester He
said that for the school year 1908
1909 his county paid the teachers the
salaries which they had formerly been
receiving, in majority of cases about
100000. He stated that a law suit is
pending in his county-rather than a
friendly suit-and that an effort is
being made to get the case before the
Court of Appeals in January to have
it legally settled so that the School
Board will have no difficulty in comply
ing with this provision of the law
The representatives of several coun-
ties seemed to think that the law
should be made plain and definite
enough not to lead to needless en-
barraSsment
