PERIL IN TEACHING
Head of Retirement Board Has

Occupation Takes Rank With Fire.

talIty-Many Suffer From
Nervous Breakdown.

New York.-Public school teaching
according to Secretary Lyman A. Best
OF the board of retirement, Is a hazard
Gus occupation, taking rank In NOR
tally with that OF the soldier. police
man and fireman Mr. Best. In his an
nual report just out. seeks 10 correct
the idea that because teachers have
short hours and long vacations their
work Is easy. He says:
"Thirty-nine per cent. of the teach.
ers who have been retired In the last
six years were suffering from nervous
breakdown. while a considerable mum.
Der had heart disease.
Some years ago when the agita-
ton for teachers annuities was just
beginning II was difficult to convince
legislators and school board members
that our cause had merit. We were
told that il was all very we'll TO estab.
lish pensions, annuities for soldiers,
policemen and tiremen, because their
occupations were extra hazardous, and
they often gave up their lives for the
community which they served; but as
for the teachers their work was easy.
their hours short, their vacations long,
and they made no sacrifices,
Gradually this has all been changed
as the great work OF the teachers be-
came. more fully recognized, as the
sacrifices in nervous and physical en-
ergy made by the teachers in their
most arduous work Tor the youth OF
our land became more fully under
stood Germany was one of the first
countries TO recognize officially that
teachers, of all public officers, were
deserving of the highest consideration,
as they were the most likely TO sac
rifice their health In the discharge OF
their duties. Many observing educa-
tors have called attention TO the rela-
lively large number of physical wrecks
furnished by the teaching profession. "
Children coming TO school from
homes where contagious diseases are
housed, and unsanitary schoolrooms,
Mr. Best says, are responsible for
much of the danger TO which teach
er is subject. He adds:
Studies made by the writer con-
corning the prevalence of contagious
diseases among children OF the city
at different periods of the year show
conclusively that under conditions as
they prevail in most schools OF the
city-improper ventilation, improper
sweeping and busting the use OF the
common drinking cup. the school
room is the center from which many
contagious diseases are distributed.
Taking the statistics OF the retired
teachers OF this city one can readily
find all the proof necessary TO estab-
lish the contention that our profes-
sion is one that requires vast amount
of nervous and physical stamina;
since the establishment OF our fund
in 1904 there have been retired ! ,492
teachers TO February |, 1911. OF these
only one-tenth have been retired on
account of age or length of service.
The other nine-tenths have applied for
retirement on the ground of physical
or mental ineffi cheney. Nervous pros
tration has claimed 40 per cent. OF
those physically disabled

IDEAS IN SEPARATE SKIRTS
Garment Practically indispensable and
Wide Choice of Materials
May Be Made.

If you would profit by the example
of French tailors. you will order sep
arate skirts of one of the following
materials:
First. a double-faced cloth that has
leaped into important place is being
used. 1t practically trims itself. and
will be very popular for this econom-
ical reason.
Then there are cheviots and serges
for lightweight models, and all colors
are in vogue. the neutral shades and
dark blue leading.
Heavy fancy suitings are very popu-
lar. The English tweeds and mixed
suitings are having tremendous
favoritism shown them by the lead
ing houses.
Tailored skirts are not so straight
in outline. many showing slashed ef-
fects at the side. and all are made
walking length.
Some have a slightly -aised waist
band. so that no belt Is needed, while
others show a normal line. with q
stitched band attached to the skirt
On others a back panel is attached
with a modified frent edge that ex.
tends towards the front, thus forming

~HE two hats pictured here are OF
that useful variety known as semi
! dress or tailored hats and are de-
signed for general wear. They
are of substantial materials well put
together They are quite elaborate
enough to harmonize with dressy
costume and not too much trimmed to
be worn with the plainest Of tailored
gowns. Where women do not have oc-
casion to go out great deal. such
hats are the best choice. ("Going out"
in this connection signifies filling so
cial engagements).
1t goes without saying, almost, that
every woman should walk in the open
air for a time, every day of her life.
Most of them do, going about the busi-
ness of life-marketing, shopping or
getting out to other lines of endeavor.
Very plain hats will answer for wear
in the morning, but every woman
needs a tailored hat for church-and
other occasions demanding the proper
attention to her personal appearance
Women going to and from business
choose the palmer types Of tailored

most durable millinery materials. such
as beavers, felts and cloth covered

Bangor, Maine, May Between two
and half or three million dollars will
cover the financial loss on the fire
which destroyed approximately 285
residences and 100 business structures
here yesterday, last night and early
today. The insurance companies say
they will lose sixty percent, about a
million and a half.
That the city will rise, not discour-
aged, from its ashes without the neces-
sity of outside help, was the sentiment
expressed tonight by Mayor Mullen
and prominent citizens. Most of those
who lost property are well-to- do peo-
pie, and only seventy five families are
reported destitute.
A search was made among the ruins
for possible victims, but up to tonight
only two were accounted for as dead.
A few were injured, but none seriously.
Troops patrolled the streets tonight,
with orders to shoot in cases of loot
ing. Among the heavy losers is the
University of Maine, where classes
have been suspended.
The fire started near the corner of
Broad and Union Streets in the vicin-
ity of the city hail. at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Famed by high
wind. the flames swept along in a
northerly direction, either. side of Ken
duskeag river, a small stream which
flows into the Penobscot. Most of the
public buildings and banks were in the
path of the fire and, with the exception
of the city hall, which was saved after
the hardest kind of a fight. all these
structures were destroyed.

Washington, May 1.-The legal bat

west, in particular, and conservation
by the federal government of its nat

day in the United States supreme
court. which not only upheld the con-
stitutionality of the establishment of
the vast reserves, for any national or
public purpose, but settled for once
and for all that the federal govern
ment, and not the states, may say how
the reserves shall be used.
The Immediate results of the conclu-
sion of the court are that Fred Light, a
Colorado cattleman, will remain en-

without permit in violation of regu-
lations No 45 of the secretary of agri-
