THE END
ABOUT A MILE

IF YOU take notion to settle down for a
time. and, after you have been whiskcd
out and back in motorCar, you think to ask
how far the house is from the station, the
agent carelessly waves his hand and airily
remarks, about mile, you had best take
heed as to what country you are in at the
time.
If it is in England, you are all right, for the
familiar 1,76O yards is the standard: but if
you have taken a fancy to a some sod
matched Irish cottage it means a tramp OF
2,24O yards. and if you are moved to linger
in the Highlands, remember that the Draw
Scot calls $40 yards mile. Considering
the size of Switzerland, one might expect a
mile to be about as far as one could throw a
ball; but the hardy mountaincers think
9,l53 yards the proper thing, even when, as
it generally is, it is very much up hill. The
Swiss is the longest mile of all, being fol-
lowed by the Vienna post mile of 1896
yards.
The Flemish mile is $500 yards, the
Prussian 1927 yards, and in Denmark they
walk S,244 yards and call it stroll of mile
The Arabs generally ride good horses, and
call 2,l45 yards mile, while the Turks are
satisfied with 1926 yards, and the Italians
shorten the distance of mile to l,766
yards, just six yards more than the Amer
lean has in mind when the agent waves hi,
hand and blandly remarks, about a mile.

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
HAVE TOO MUCH WORK
Large Classes and Long Hours
Threaten Efficiency, Says
Supt. Stuart.

That the teachers in the high schools
are being overworked. that classes in
both graded and high schools are tecom-
ing SO large that teachers are under a
| constant strain to bring the pupils up to
the proper degree Of efficiency and that
the efficiency of the public schools is
being threatened were the statements
made by several prominent school Of
.icials yesterday. and confirmed by Su-
perintendent of Public Schools A. T.
Stuart
The reason assigned by the officials for
the present condition is that there are not
enough teachers in either the high or the
graded schools. Consequently it is neces-
sary to increase the size of the classes
rather than increase their number.
Despite the expansion of the classes, it
is necessary, in the high schools. for
some of the teachers to work longer than
they should, 1t is asserted The high
school day is composed of six periods,
each Of which is between forty and fifty
minutes. A fair teaching week. it is said.
is twenty hours, or an average of four
hours day. The other two hours day
are needed for the correction of papers,
to perform study hall duty" and sundry
Other duties.
In almost every instance, however, it is
claimed, the teachers are fortunate if they
are free two or three hours during the
week Teaching every hour in the day
for five days. the teachers week would
be thirty school hours. This according to
records. just received by the school Of
fetal, is not at all unusual, and in some
instances the teachers work as many as
twenty-five hours a week extra or two
and half times as long as they should.
No Relief Next Year.
This condition of affairs will not be
remedied next year. declared Supt.
Stuart Yesterday. for Congress, in its
appropriation has allowed for only
sixteen additional teachers in the entire
system, In the high schools alone says
Mr.. Stuart. ten additional teachers are
needed. Last year twenty-four additional
teachers were allowed.
The lack of sufficient teaching force.
declares the superintendent, will be more
and more felt each year until Congress
allows for enough additional teachers.
The school authorities endeavor to keep
all classes below an average attendance
Of thirty-siX. In few cases, however,
can this be done, and more often the
number is forty-eight or fifty. A class
of this size, it is asserted, causes con-
gestton, and cannot without strain. and
overwork on the teachers part be
brought UP TO the required efficiency.

IDENTIFYING ARMY HORSES.
@. MS Department Experimenting
With System of Photography.

Experiments are being conducted by the
quartermasters department by which a
system of Photographic Identification will
be used for service horses. Specially
constructed cameras are being used, by
which two views of the same horse can
be taken one plate. BY this system
a colt will be photographed when it is
purchased by the government The
picture will be attached to the colts
identification papers and will be kept
in his record wherever il is sent. The
horse will also be photographed at diff
ferent periods of its development, in
Guiding the time when it is issued for
service and when it is transferred from
one organization to another. 1t Is
thought that these photographs will not
only perfect a system of identification,
but also will show the growth and de-
velopment of the horse under different
conditions. The claim is made that by
a system of photographs the merits of
different kinds of forage also can be
more accurately obtained

Italy, however. and. with his comrades
and several other persons implicated, will

The imprisonment of this number OF
Camorra chieftainS has done much TO
disoreanize the society, and their convic-
ton Will be equivalent to its final diSrup-
tlon. The socialist element in the Italian
government is firm in its efforts to abol-
iSh the Camorra absolutely. Thanks to
TINS activity. there is every prospect that
the trial to be heard at Niterbo will be IA
luSt and honest one. On all sides of the
town carbineers keep strict watch. No
Neapolitan will be permitted to enter the
village without a special certificate. For
the first time in Italian history the jury
is under guard. and every possible pre-
caution to prevent the prisoners from
communicating with their fellow-C amor-
ras has been taken.
All the civilized world is interested in
this effort of Italy to overthrow its muir
derONS secret society. for every country
has suffered through some of its citizens
who have at some time come under Ca

at various times been held up. robbed
