Columbus.-Tn a ruling by Attorney
General Hogan, that telephone paid
for by the public in the residence Of
a servant is either an injustice to the
servant, or a graft on the public.
The conclusion was reached regard
ing a telephone in the residence of
Ed w. Horn, clerk of the Cuyahoga
county board of elections. The opin-
ion was given to Burr S. Gongwer
assistant secretary. The old tele-
phone rule has been that they could
be installed in residences at public
expense, where required for public
benefit. The new regulation is in
effect holding that all public servants
have regular scheduled working hours,
for which they are paid, but there is
no right to call them to duty outside
those hours. Hogan pays for his own
residence telephone, but doesn't apply
the regular hours rule to himself. He
frequently gets in double an official
working day at his desk and has been
known to go to the Office on call after
preparing for quiet evening at home.

IMPROVING COUNTRY SCHOOL GROUNDS

care must be taken to place these in
such a position that they will not en-
croach upon the part of the grounds
used for play.
Country school grounds generally
would be greatly improved if more
care were taken with the construc-
ton and location of outbuildings. The
coal house ought not to be placed on
the front line of the school lot. 1t
may be a convenience to the coal
hauler, two or three times during the
year, to have it there, but all the rest
of the time it mars the appearance of
the school property. The closets
about our country school houses are
generally far from what they ought to
be. Many schools have only one closet
used by both sexes. Others have one
building partitioned off into two
parts. Both of these are wrong from
every point of view. Separate build
ings ought to be provided and these
should be considerable distance
apart.
The fence about the school ground
should be of boards or smooth wire
never hedge, barbed wire or pickets.
A very good fence for in front of the
house is one or two railings of gas
pipe through posts ten feet apart.
This will keep out livestock, but will
permit the pupils to pass through.
Good walks ought to be provided
about the school house, especially

Tittes In Enqiand.

we can do so no longer, for probably
there is no other country in the world

the pupils in most of our rural dis
tricts for good many decades. Our
newer school houses. however, gener-
ally combine use and beauty in very
pleasing manner. Along with better
buildings has come demand for more
spacious and better kept school
grounds.
In earlier days the grounds about
the school houses did not need be
large. They were usually unfenced,
and if the pupils found them too small,
they could (and usually did annex
as much of the adjacent pasture and
woodland as their needs seemed to re-
quire. Since land has about all been
brought under cultivation, and has in
creased in value, no landowner now
adays is very desirous of having any
of his lands used for playground pur-
poses.
According to our present day ideas
of education, children need plenty of
space for outdoor sports and games.
We realize as never before that play
under competent direction and super
vision has considerable of educational
value in it, aside from it's physical
value to children. To be of the great
est benefit to mind and body, when
ever possible, games ought to be play
ed out in the open air. To deprive pu-
pills of time and place to play is
an unjustifed infringement on the
rights of childhood.
One chief objection then that can
be urged against most of our country
school grounds is that they are not
large enough. An acre is the least
that any of them should contain, and
more could be used to good advantage.
There are other reasons why we need
larger school grounds aside from play
ground purposes. Agriculture has
been introduced into our rural schools.

Bonding Company Pays State.

Fear of losing business in Ohio
brought prompt payment to the
state treasury of $4,000. The
money was from the Massachu-
setts Bonding G Insurance Co.,
which was surety for that amount of
a $4,000 state deposit in the Farmers
& Merchants bank of Cleveland,
which failed. An early settlement of
the remaining S5O;0OO is expected
from the Empire State Surety Co.
The deposit was made by Charles c.
Green during his few weeks as state
treasurer. Within 60 days the bank
made an assignment. A dispute fol-
lowed between the surety companies
and the assignee, with the state hold
ing the bag. The assignee wanted
the state to collect the proceeds of
securities deposited with the surety
companies as collateral and sold after
the failure.

from the road to the building, and
from there to the outbuildings.
The ash pile, if one is tolerated,
should be behind the school house, and
not in front of it. 1t is extremely un-
slightly there. Care should be taken
to pick up all loose boards, stones,
brush, ETC., that are so apt to be
thrown about on the school grounds.
In conclusion, it is not overreach-
ing the truth to say that the school
yard should be as we'll planned, as
we'll planted, and as we'll cared for as
the average front yard. Public senti.
ment already approves of that, and
ere long it will be demanding it.

The punching is accomplished with a

all the beets in the row except
small bunch every or 10 inches.
These punches are then thinned by
hand to a single plant in a place. If
care is exercised in the thinning pro-
cess, the inferior plants will be rc-
moved and only the largest and most
vigorous individuals will be left. When
thinning it is good plan to give the
beets a thorough hand hoeing. This
can be done with little extra expense,
and will more than pay for itself in
the increase in quantity and quality of
crop. 1t is a common saying among
sugar beet growers, that they "hoe
sugar into the crop"
Cultivation of sugar beets should
begin before the beets are up, by going

The leaves # the ripened beet change
to a yellowish green, droop to the
earth and many of them die. The
harvesting is accomplished by loosen
ing the beets with a common turning
plow and removing them from the soil
by hand.
Before delivery to the factory the
beets are topped by means of a large
knife. The topped beets are thrown in
to piles and leaves thrown over them
as a protection from sun and frost
until they can be hauled to The sta
ton or factory.
Sugar beets grow best on a we'll

To Run Five Special Trains.

Columbus.-There will be run over
Ohio in August five agricultural spe-
cial trains under the direction of the
College of Agriculture of the Ohio
State University. Instructions will be
given on corn, wheat, sugar beets,
land drainage and dairying.
The first of these trains will be
run over the Big Four, from July 81
to August IL. The subjects to be dis
cussed on this train are wheat, sugar
(beets, drainage and dairying. The
econd train will be run over the
raGickle Plate, August to II, the sub
jects to be discussed being corn,
wheat and drainage. The third train
is to be run over the lines of the C.
H. G D., from August IA to 10, the
subjects being corn, wheat and drain
age. During the week of August 21
two special trains will be in operation,
one over the Panhandle Division of
the Pennsylvania Company from Au-
gust 21 to 26, and one over the B. &
O., August 81 to %. Corn, wheat and
drainage will be discussed.
The railroad companies furnish and
operate the trains, while the instruc-
tion is given by men from the College
of Agriculture. Plans are being made
for the running of other trains later
in the year.
Attorney General Hogan has Just
decided that the Green law regu-
1ating the hours of employment
for women is constitutional and
he has advised State Shop Inspector
Kearns to enforce it. The opinion that
the law is sound is based on deci-
sion of the Oregon supreme court, up
holding similar statute OF that state.
