SOME BETTER LOCAL SEWERS.
May Be The Outcome of This Sum-
mer's Typhoid Cases.

Water Inspector Ralph Irwin
spent this forenoon looking at the
borough's sewers, both public and
private. He put in more or less time
at Glen Dyberry, taking note of the
private sewers that go into the river
just above the cemetery bridge. He
said they were "a bad-looking pile"
An analysis of the water and milk
samples sent the state chemist at
Philadelphia takes time and a report
may not reach Honesdale this week
1t is pretty generally believed that
the result of the dozen or so typhoid
cases Honesdale has had this sum-
mer will be recommendation for a
more modern system of sewerage.
Sadie Miller, who has bowel
trouble, is not yet reported as a ty-
phoid patient, but DR.. Harry B..
Searles, her physician, said this
morning that she may have typhoid.

WHY THE TEACHERS QUIT.
Conditions Surrounding County Ped
agoging Dad, Says Taylor.

SCRANTON, Sept. Seventy
FIVE per cent. of the teachers in town
ship schools change their positions
each year, according to County Sup
erintendent of Schools ]. c. Taylor.
This year, for example, of rs schools
in the townships of Lackawanna
county, only g will be taught by the
same teachers as directed the schools
last year.
Dissatisfaction on the part of
teachers causes the changes" said
superintendent Taylor. There is
no permanency in country teaching,
and this absence of permanency
breeds discomfort. Teachers decline
to run chances of a shift every year
and the result is that in the rural
districts, the ambitious, brainy
teachers are leaving and seeking
other lines of work, going to city
schools, where appointments are
more permanent.
"In all of the years that / have
been connected with the schools
do not recall one year in which twen-
ty teachers have returned to their
positions in the country schools of
the county. In the boroughs there
is a degree of permanency that
formerly was lacking, but with the
last five years Old Forge, Archibald,
Mayfeld and Carbondale changed
teachers because they wanted to put
others in their places. In Old
Forge they made no bones about
saying that such was the case.
Teachers positions should be Just
as secure during good behavior as
those of letter carriers and other
government employees"

STATE COURSE OF STUDY.
For Elementary Schools Subject For
Thought on Part of Supt. KOehler.


The Teachers Institute and Direc-
tors association at their 1903 meet
ing passed resolutions requesting
the county superintendent to compile
a county course of study for the ele-
mentary schools and call on the
several districts for the necessary
funds to have it published. Nearly
all the districts in the county re-
sponded with their share of the cost.
At the 1910 session of the county
superintendents' convention at Har-
risburg resolutions were passed re-
questing the department of public
instruction to publish similar
course of study for the entire state.
The county superintendent went
to work and outlined a course of
study, spending ten weeks at this
work. When it was ready for the
printer word was received from the
department of public instruction that
the state course was about complet-
ed and would be furnished to all the
schools free of charge before the
beginning of this school term. AL
though we regret that so much of
the county superintendents time
and labor was spent in vain, yet 1t
is pleasing to think that we will
have a good uniform manual as a
guide to the teachers.
There are no intentions now to
have the county course published for
two reasons: First-The state course
will cost us only the postage and ex-
press charges; second, If the new
school code passes the coming legis-
lature, no doubt the new state
course will be the recognized course.
However, if any district insists on
having the county course, copy can
be sent to the directors from which
typewriter copies can be made at
their expense.
The money forwarded by the sew
eral districts will be returned after
deducting necessary expenses.
The state course consists of so
pages of printed matter, completely
outlining the work of the pupil from
the time he enters school until he is
prepared for high school work.
Supplementary readers, purchased
by the several districts, will be
adopted Just as well under the state
course as under the county course
both courses being outlined inde'
pendent of any particular textbook
1t is very gratifying to hear that
many districts have bought supple
mentary readers at the suggestion
of the county superintendent.
Several purposes of the course o.
study are to unity the work of thu
common schools and to lessen thu
evil effects of the constant changing
of teachers.
The chief difference between tn,
county course and the state cours'
is that the latter omits entirely thi
alienation system of classes. 4
pamphlet will be sent to ever,
teacher, describing the manner II
which this system applies to th'
state course. Our county is entities
to 240 copies and they will be for
warded to the teachers immediatel

NEW ANTI-CONsUMPTION PLAN.

A systematic plan for fighting In
cipient consumption has been put into
practice in the factory town of
Brockton, Mass, which may pave the
way for similar campaigns in larger
cities. Dr.. Charles S. Millet, who is
regarded in Massachusetts somewhat
as is DR.. Lawrence Flick in Pennsyl-
vania, is behind the scheme. The
plan provides for care at home
instead of in a sanitarium and en-
ables the patient to continue his or
her work By these means the patti
ent or family is spared much extra
expense and the family income is not
diminished.
Brockton has been divided into
eighteen districts. Each district is in
charge of a canvasser, who goes from
house to house seeking out persons
who may exhibit tendency towards
consumption, or who are apparently
suffering from the malady in its early
stages In several districts clergy
men have volunteered their aid as
canvassers. Note is made of sus-
pected cases and the doctor follows
to examine the suspected persons.
And the effect of the campaign of
education which has been going on
is that medical examination is more
often welcomed than opposed.
Having found a patient, DR.. Mil
let prescribes a nourishing diet and
a daily bath and sees to it that the
afflicted person either sleeps out In
the open air in a tent or light shell
ter, or in a room from which the
window sashes have been removed
Close record is kept of the condi
tion OF each patient and good re
suits are confidently anticipated.
The working of this system
should be carefully followed by the
public. If it is practicable in many
cases to permit the consumptive Il
continue at his work and still cure
him, one of the most difficult prob
lens that attend the war on tuber
culosis will have been solved.-Edi

ABOUT THE SUMMER BOARDER.
How He's Regarded BY One Bright
York State Paper.

The Indian tribes are decreasing
in numbers, but not so the tribes of
summer boarders, says the Port
Jervis IN. " Gazette. They are
scattered over hill and dale, by the
forest and sea, near the river or on
the farm. Possessed of an elegant
leisure, they toll nevertheless in ex-
ercises and games with an energy
which, If otherwise directed, would
advance human affairs in consider
able measure. Their presence means
a period of harvest for their enter
tainers, who seek for them as for
precious metal, with the tool of
glowing words, advertising, promis-
ing, everything but threatening.
Since the summer boarder and
prosperity seem to come hand in
hand, small wonder he is accorded
a respect which calls to the surface
all his latent dignity. And it is
surprising how much latent dignity
the average human being keeps stow
ed away somewhere. The circum-
stances of life tend to keep it down,
for it does not do to put on too
many airs before ones employer.
But a summer boarder, why he is
free and a dispenser of good!
Though he did not come to his chos-
en- retreat in his own motor or
yacht, doubtless he had good reason
for coming some other way. Now
that he has arrived, he is not OBJ
livious to the value of what he is
called upon to spend.
1t is not strange, therefore, to
find the summer boarder showing
certain traits-symptoms, if you pre-
fer the word-which he conceals with
more success at home. He is some
what exacting, and critical to a
degree. Now that he does not have
to hurry away from breakfast to
punch" an eight o'clock time re-
corder somewhere, he has more time
to observe that the steak and coffee
do not approach perfection, or that
the cream pitcher is not the biggest
one on the table. His vacation spirit
does not prevent his being a little
irritable over some little defect in
the service, though possibly at home
the service" is all "in the family" "
Let it not be supposed that we
| consider the summer boarder simply
amusing, for it is by no means so.
We are only calling attention to a
few signs which very unlike people
exhibit, when they have a little
! leisure, enough to notice how their
money is being earned by others. At
home they are too busy themselves
to watch very hard.
Having thus acquitted ourselves
of any spirit of injustice, we go on
to say that the summer boardeT
shows an Unsuitable appetite for
news from home. He gets a little
lonely in the midst, of such a big
good time. The way he goes over
his home newspaper7is strangely al
variance with the criticism he be-
slows upon 1t during the winter. II
is a good sign. He is keeping In
touch with the environment In which
most of his dayk must be spent. ant
which in his secret heart pleasei
him best.
The summer boarders are coming
home now. richer in health and ex
perience II not in money, eager al
most to get to work after the tim'
of idleness which has prepared then
to work better. They have haC
much of benefit which, we hope, the!
may not soon lose.
