He brought this story from Balti-

An Irishman there inherited coal
mine up in the state. He immedi-
ately entered the lists for one of the
big coal contracts and went around

The man who was letting the con-

interrupted with:
That's all right. but how about
British thermal units?"
The other, being new to the coal
business, did not know that coal Is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.

sealed bottle in the mud. The bottle

Superintendent Massey Emphas
ICES Education Of Farmer
ENROLMENT DECREASED
Much Valuable Information Is Con-
tanned in Reports Which We're
Sent Out Today to Teachers and
Committeeman - Apportion-
tionments Also Given

County Superintendent c. w. Mas
sey has sent to every teacher and
committeeman in Durham copy of
the annual report OF the public
schools of the county. The report
contains number of valuable ar
ticles and includes the salaries and
appointments made at the regular
meeting this month. In the general
statement the census for the, year
ending July 1910, the report shows
that the census has increased from
3,643 to 1855 but that there has
been a decrease in the enrolment
from 2,467 to 1889. The average
salary paid the teachers has been in
creased from s43 to SAG.
In his comments on the course Of
study for the public schols. Prof. G..
w. Massey states in part as follows:
THE education of the farmer should
be as broad in its scope and as thor
ough in every sense as that Of the
business man in the city, but his en-
vironment is different and mis- work
Is different; and his education
should fit him to appreciate and en-
Joy the one, and TO successfully carry
on the other.
To this end agriculture and domes-
tic science should be taught in a
practical way in all of our country
schools. Teach our young people that
there is something worth while on
the farm. Teach them how and where
to locate their home, how TO build a
comfortable home. and how to take
care OF home properly. Teach the
boys how TO take the worn out" hill
sides. I'LL up the gullies, and render
them fertile and productive once
more. Teach them how to select and
prepare the soil for the various crops
raised on the farms. how to select
seeds. how and when to plant, how C
cultivate. how to harvest, and how tC
market the various farm products.
Every boy should be made familiar
with the different kinds of soil found
in his own immediate neighborhood
and the relation OF these soils to tht
plants found growing upon them; and
this should apply to both cultivated
and uncultivated plants. He should
also know something about the ANNA
life of his school district: and this
should apply to both wild and domes.
