FIGHTING THE CHESTNUT
BLIGHT

At the recent conference Of rep
resentatives of twenty eastern
States, held in Harrisburg. Pa,
resolutions were adopted APPROX
ing the Pennsylvania plan Of cam
paign for fighting the chestnut
tree blight.
Pennsylvania was compliment
ed for having taken the first prac-
teal step Of any of the States in
providing a commission with lib
eral appropriation to study the
blight and lnaugurate campaign
for checking its advances. The
important part taken by Governor
John X. Tener was officially ac-
knowledged. and the Federal gov
ernment and all the States were
urged to follow the example of
Pennsylvania.
\ feature Of the final days pro
ceedings was the reading of let
ter from President Taft to Cover
nor Tener expressing his approval
Of the purposes Of the conference
The chestnut tree blight, as
il exists in Delaware was thor,
oughly investigated last year by
Dr.. NJ 4. Cook, representing the
Delaware College Experiment Sta
ton. The Board of Agriculture
has presented the subject to the
people, but no action was taken
by the Legislature when the sub

The Association of Principals

aware at its second annual meet
ing again desires to urge upon the
intelligent citizenship of this
State. and especially upon the
Board OF Education. the absolute
necessity Of granting fair and
reasonable method Of certifying
teachers. if the best interests Of
our schools are to be conserved.
We herewith reat1irm our belief
IN the justice Of the following
proposition as stated at our last
annual meeting:
First. That permanent certlfi-
Gates should be granted to teach
ers who have held the tive-year
certificate and who have taught
ten years:
Second. That the permanent GER
tificateS Of other States be accept
ed at their face value in Della
ware:
Third. That college and normal
school graduates Of successful eN-
perience be permanently certified &;
Fourth. That IA property protec
ted permanent certificate be issued
by State law available to all, ir-
respective Of scholastic advan-
tages, who have qualified them
selves for the same.
This Association further de-
clares that in it's Judgment per
manent certificates can be re-
voked only for lapse in character
or because Of incompetency. and
that no certificate requiring per-
iodic examinations to insure its
validity is permanent in the sense
in which that term is used in in
tclligent educational circles.
We ask the State Board and all
other persons interested in public
education in Delaware to cooper
ate with us in our efforts to Sc
cure from the next Legislature a
certifying law that will embody
the above propositions and that
will give the teachers Of Delaware
the same status njoyed by the
teachers in nearly every other pro
gresSive State in the union

ANNUAL EGG Loss
IS $45,OOO,OOO, IN
OPINION OF EXPERT
M. E. Pennington Blames
Improper Handling for
Drains.

1t js a conservative estimate that
more than s45,Ooo.O0o are lost in the egg
producing sections annually because OF
improper handling" Is the statement of
M. r. Pennington. a poultry expert OF
the Agricultural Department,
Convinced that such q statement Is
correct. the authorities are beginning a
crusade against the sale of small, dirty,
stale. cracked and decayed eggs. and
letter has been sent out to buyers and
shippers of eggs all over the country
offering suggestions as to how such an
enormous loss may be cut down.
1t Is urged that the production OF
large eggs be encouraged. This can be
ACCOMPLISHED by keeping q pure breed
only the eggs that weigh at least two
ounces apiece, and from Che most vigor-
Gus stock.
1t is also desirable, say the experts, to
market infertile eggs, since these do
not hatch or form blood-rings. This
may be done by penning up the males
after June ], and another result Is that
the hens will lay more eggs.
Particular emphasis is laid on the i'm.
eggs-that is. by placing the egg be-
tween the candle and the eye, telling
whether It is in good condition. 1t Is
claimed that this Is the only way a
satisfactory inspection can be made.
After receiving first quality eggs, II
is Of course important that they be kept
in good condition. To do this. they
must be packed in good filters, cases and
flats and shipped quickly and under pro-
per conditions. Mechanical refrigeration,
by which the chilling of the egg be-
g,ns as soon as II is received by the
buyer, Is highly desirable. The eggs
should be candled In a room where the
temperature does not go above .55 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
All eggs should be thoroughly chilled
before they are shipped, and should be
shipped in a good refrigerator car and
in car lots. BY following these and
other more technicar instructions, the
epartmental authorities claim that the
enormous loss can be wiped out.

SHOCK OF BIG GUN FIRING
Ceafness IS Sure Result and Nerves
and Senses are Terribly
Strained

One OF the penalties attendant on
1lrlng Oft big guns is deafness. So sure
Is this penalty to be exacted that, it is
asserted, no man can go through a
long series of gunnery practise with
out having his hearing affected. A
stranger on deck who hears big gun
speak for the first time will not soon
forget the stunning report.
One gun is enough to startle
stranger, but the SCATTERING effect of
the whole armament when in action
together can hardly be conceived. The
strain upon nerves and senses when
the rending conclusion takes place is
terrible.
There Is not great difference be-
tween the effect Of the big guns and
that OF the smaller pieces, strange as
1t may seem. II the visitor places him
sell beside one OF the smaller guns,
and then listens to the roar of the big
one, the sound will not appear much
louder than that of the gun by his
side. The extra distance to the muzzle
OF the big piece discounts the sound.
The only apparent difference between
the two will be that the smaller piece
has a sharper, high-pitched tone, and
that the big guns speak with a more
believing roar.
If one watches the firing of the gun
the crash has not such startling ef-
feet as when it comes Unexpectedly.
Loud as it Is, nature has prepared the
watcher to resist the shock which he
knows Is impending.
