SPRING IN TIE COUNTRY.

1t is a fine thing to live in the country
and to witness the renewing influence
of nature in green fields and budding
trees, with singing birds and the sun
giving forth its genial warmth. The
farmer is preparing the soil for spring
seeding and all nature is awakening
from its winter slumber. Dwellers in
great cities, especially those living in
crowded tenements, know nothing Of
the beauty and JOY of living in cod 5
great out-of-doors, where one may
breathe fresh, pure air and the life be
enriched by living near the heart Of ma
ture. Soon lovely flowers will be bloom
ing out-of-d doors and all nature will be
adorned in its most attractive raiment.
Spring IN the country makes one think
deeply and broadly and to the open heart
and receptive mind it tells of the boun-
tiful Giyer of all good gifts; that it is
good to live and to learn something from
nature at its best.

FARMER MOST INDEPENDENT.

AS industry develops we get more
and more dependent on each other. The
farmer. however, remains the most in
dependent, and again the way he car
ries on the work is of the most vital
Importance to us all. The soil is the
source of everything that calls forth
the efforts of industry. The people who
till the soil have charge Of the source
of supply and the rest have to go accor-
dinghy. Do we want more to do with?
Then the farmer must produce more.
To do thatehe must have more know
ledge and skill in his work.
Who is most interested in the man
who tills the soil being trained for his
work? Without doubt it is the man
in the city. He is the one who should
be the most insistent on agriculture
being taught in the puzzle schools, and
that the agricultural college be given
liberal support. The railroads are
doing a great deal in encouraging the
teaching of agriculture. Many have
placed trains at the services of the ag-
ricultural colleges that they might equip
them with apparatus, appliances and
instructors and thus carry the teachings
Of better farming to a great many peo-
Dle in a short time. Bankers are also
active in encouraging the spread Of bet
ter farming

THE PEOPLES FORUM
School Affairs and the rian Who Con-
trolls the DeStinies of the Children
and Teachers.

To the Editor Of The Republican,
In looking over the decision of the
State Board in the Browning case, it
will be noticed that he was convicted in
what the Board deems the most impor-
tant charges, tOWit, one and eight, but
the Board did not dismiss him because
it says there was no evidence of wilful
neglect. We are not criticising the
Board for this, but 1t would seem easy
enough to satisfy the Board of the will
fitness of such neglect if the people had
a chance to show how long Browning
STAYED around Oakland last fall during
all the fine weather we had at that time
instead of visiting the schools
In the eighth charge, however he
was convicted without any excuse what
ever for not holding examinations ac-
cording to law. Would it not be a good
thing for the people to draft new
charges and leave these two out, except
to show the wilfullness of the neglect
in charge one so as to satisfy the Board
on that point? If the B ard does not
wish to come to Oakland to hear them.
the evidence could easily be taken down
by calling two or three witnesses a day
until it is all done and then send attor-
neys before the Board for the argument.
1t certainly'should not be difficult to
diffiuclt to convict him on charge five
in which he is charged with unjust and
unfair treatment of teachers.
It is a difficult thing to get correct
information about these matters, if it is
true that Browning turned Mr.. Semmes
down when he requested Mr.. Browning
to allow him to examine the books of
the School Boards office, but from what
can be gathered from Mr.. Browning S
reports to the State Board and from
other outside information, it appears
that Miss Gertrude Browning, a rela-
tive of Browning, was paid $685., % for
the year ending 1909, which is S45 per
month, lacking one day which was prob
ably missed Mr.. w. l.. Thomas taught
the same school the following year and
received 1923 or one day short of $40
per month, which was probably missed
also. Mr.. Asa Lewis succeeded Mr..
Thomas in the same school for the year
ending 1911 and received, we are told,
$50 per month. We are also informed
that Browning's niece. Miss Mary l..
Browning received $40 per month for
the year 1911.
Compare these also with Miss Alice
Wolfe's salary of $50 per month, and
she has taught school for ten years.
Now, follow these comparisons as far
as you like and see if they do not result
favorably to some relative or particular
friend of Browning. What are the re-

EVANSVILLE.

Spring seems to be here at last. We
have had two days of sunshine and good
prospects for more. However, on Sat
urdav we had d snow storm, and again
on Sunday morning the ground was
white. The ground has been too wet
for farm work and seeding will be quite
late this spring.
Among those from Grantsvilla and
vicinity who attended the recent horse
sale in Meyersdale were G. A. Bender,
of the National Hotel, who returned
without having made a purchase; Mr..
+. a. Beachy secured q valuable four
year-old mare.
Mr.. Solomon Orendorf, Of Bittinger,
who passed through Grantslilla en- route
to Elk Lick on Wednesday, returned
Thursday morning having in tow new
spring wagon.
Mr.. Henry Zehner was the guest of
his brother John on Sunday.
Messrs. Harvey and Alfred Ringer
passed through town on Thursday with
several head Of cattle
The Summer Normal opened on Mon
day with an attendance of Il scholars.
Mr.. Ross burst has charge of the school,
Mr.. Frank burst has been quite i'll
with kidney trouble. We are glad to
note that his condition is not as serious
as it has been.
Mrs. A. r. Wright is critically i'll at
her home several miles northwest Of
GrantSVil!e.
Mr.. r. N. Beachy, Y. S., of Meyers
dale, is seen almost dialy in this vicinity
His frequent trips to this section are
Occasioned by the many sick horses.
There appears to be an epidemic of
pleuro pneumonia among the equine
denizens Of this portion of Garrett coun-
ty and the adjoining part of Somerset
county.
The maple sugar season is closed. A
very laage crop is reported; the quality
also is of the best. Several cars have
already been loaded and shipped on the
Jennings railroad by Mr.. J. J. Bender,
The price paid was 9 cents per pound.
King Bros. have moved their saw mill
from g. j, Gnagey's to J. s. Miller S
where they are saving tract Of maple
lumber for Mr.. Miller.
The Town Council has taken up the
matter OF purchasing fire fighting APP
paratus. Grantsville has suffered some
heavy loses in the past from fires which
could have been checked ere much dam
ages had been done If adequate means
had been at hand. We trust the project
will be carried through and portable
pump or engine secured ere we have
another conflagration which would cause
loss of many times the cost Of the
apparatus.

home and go out into the world, where
they meet all kinds of temptation and
have no home influences. Many kinds
of business could be brought to our town
if the people only made up their minds,
and work together in unity, but Just
there is the rub. Some are afraid to do
anything for fear others would make
more out Of it than they could, and
when something is proposed they pour
all the cold water on it they can.
What has happened to the committee
that was to get up festival, the pro
ceeds of which was to 90 towards i'm
proving our cemetery? We would like
to hear more about it.

suits? A difference of $40 month for
one year is $75 for one teacher, and
forty teachers, So, coo for one year, and
ten years at this rate would be $50, 600
of the tax payers money. This shows
the power of the school officials over the
teachers and taxpayers. Let them ex-
plain the reasons for these differences
of salary and we viii leave it to the
people whether or not they are salts
factory.
Itnow seems that they are after Prot.
Palmer again and will probably not be
satisfied until they have driven him out
of the county, if they can. In view Of
these things and many others that are
likely to be discussed later, is it any
wonder that so many people have lost
confidence and that there is now and
likely to be trouble and turmoil here
after? And is it any wonder that the
County Commissioners refused to levy
any more money than they it did into
the hands of this gentleman from Sang
Run?
Why should not the School Boards
office be open to the inspection of the
public at all times, Just the same as all
the other public offices in the Curt
House are? We believe the County
Commissioners have leviec enough mon
ey to run the schools y months and pay
the teachers according to law. but they
have certainly removed the m ans
whereby certain parties can be reward
ed and others unjustly punished and in
this they are certainly right, even if the
schools have to be closed a while if
there is mother remedy.
