BAN ON UNMARRIED WOMEN
Tufts President Says Middle-Aeed
Spinsters Should Be Banished a.
College Teachers.

Medford, Mass.-President Fred
erick w. Hamilton OF Tufts college
has come out with the positive as
sertion that unmarried woman teach
ers should be barred from girls col
leges because their influence is harm
full. He says:
i do not believe that young girls
who are just passing into young wom-
anhood are in the proper environment
when they are continually brought in
to close personal touch with elderly
unmarried women.
The larger proportion OF women's
colleges are In the hands Of woman
teachers, however. and the education
al atmosphere of the places Is fem
mime, the peculiar type Of feminity
developed by highly cultured. middle
aged unmarried women. Now. while
the type may be very fine individual
ly, II is not the proper one to create
the atmosphere for girls at the for.
native period OF their lives.
Girls Just coming into womanhood
are receiving their most valuable i'm.
pressions and their future attitude to.
ward the questions Of this time. Their
outlook on life. which l believe is the
most important part OF the college
training. should be broad. and 1t can
not be SO unless formed In an en-
vironment OF breadth.
in the lower grades OF the schools
too. and In preparatory schools the
influence of the unmarried. middle
aged woman is counteracted by the
dominating influence of the home.
believe that an element Of married
teachers. widows. who were teachers
before marriage. perhaps. would be
beneficial. The relationship of these
schools and their pupils is different
however. because the pupils live al
home. The girls at college live q
purely academic life. They are or
their resources and they face prob
lens that are quite new to them
They are TO be trained to become
competent and important parts OF
life. we hope. They need n large out
look and broad viewpoint. The
elements which go TO give these mus
be brought into their lives at thi:
psychological time. and all elements
that tend toward narrowness shoult
be eliminated"

Good Jokes
INDIAN SUMMER.

In the mellow indian summer
Lie the meadows calm and stili.
Smiling as the peaceful plumber
When you settle up his bill
Just about the middle distance
There's a mule devouring hay:
Doesn't seem to want assistance,
So you'd better keep away.
Far above with wing that quickens
Floats hawk of piercing eye
While he scans the ground for chickens
That the farmer wants to fry.
In the thicket hides the rabbit
Shy as any startled fawn;
III you have the hunting habit
You can gamble he Is on.
In the woods are reds and yellows
Blazing every way you turn.
Soon. l think. these farmer fellows

Here or there. you are hummer,
So We wish that you would stay.

SAYS WORLD IS GOING MAD
SO Declares Or. Forbes Winslo~, Ex-
pert on Criminal Lunacy. In

Misunderstanding to DIR. Forbes
Winslow. who acquired international
celebrity by his sedulous insistence on
his theory that Jack the Ripper" was

ing mad.
DIR. Winslow considers that the rate
OF progress to that consummation Is
shoekingly rapid. In book OF RENT
niscenees this expert in criminal luna
ey says:
by a simple arithmetical calcula-
ton 1t can be shown the exact year
when there will be more insane per
sons In the world than sane. We In
England are gradually approaching.
with the decadence OF our youth. near
proximity TO a nation of madmen.
BY comparing the lunacy statistics
OF 1869 with those Of 1909. four de-
cades having interviewed. my refiec-
tions are sad indeed. A terrible but
real curse is In store. and an insane
world seems to me a certainty in the
not far distant future.
In 1869. out of population of
lunatics In England and Wales. there
being one lunatic In every AIS OF total
population. whereas in 1909. out OF a
population of 1876. 6l5. the number OF
registered lunatics was l2S.7S7. max.
Ing on an average one lunatic In every
2IS OF population. So that In forty
years an enormous increase In lunacy
is seen. Surely a dreadful future for
nations still unborn to have to cope

These are the facts. and sad to re-
feet upon They must be accepted
They cannot In any way be challeng,

Ions of cider for gallon of apple
butter, the only outlay in cash is the
nineteen cents a gallon. except what
he pays for the spices. For every
barrel OF cider he needs two bushels
OF nice sweet apples. The ordinary
cooking for family consists OF two
barrels OF cider and four bushels OF

Chehalis, Wash.-Chehaiis Is Just
now the center OF an interesting ex.
pertinent In land clearing. Recently

state college. to conduct some expert
ments with the charpit process Of
burning out stumps on logged-off
lands. The work has just been COM
pleted at the farm OF Henry Duper-
tuis. near Chehalis.
One hundred fir stumps. from two
. TO four feet In diameter, were kept
burning In this test. an accurate ae-
count was kept of labor. Stumps
were completely destroyed. and roots
burned out at an average cost of so
cents per stump.
This voluntary work of the Citizens
club Of Chehalis will. 1t is hoped.
prove OF great value to western Wash

the value Of the charpit burning meth

process works most effectively on clay

The method has two valuable fea,
