WHAT TO DO AND HOW
An Original Church Entertainment Hidden Hymns-FOr the Social
 or Endeavor Society.

For a church sociable" Hidden Hymns'' is an entertainment both novel and appropriate.
 It's basic principle Is the always popular tableau. But in this instance the tableaux represent well known hymns, the names of which are to be guessed.
 A pad and pencil are handed each member of the audience as they enter the room. On the pad is written Hidden Hymns" followed by nun1er- as equal to the number of tableaux, with blank spaces at the side. to be filled in when the beholder thinks he or she has rightly guessed the name of tho hymns.
 After the tableaux have been given. a committee will collect the pads. and while refreshments are being served, sort out and select those who have most nearly or entirely filled the list correctly.
 If there should be a tie, the con- testants can draw by any way selected to decide who gets the prize, which in this instance could suitably be a Hymnal of the latest Church and Sun day School selections. A consolation prize for tho unfortunate who showed the poorest list could be a small clus- ter of artificial Forget -me-nots", sug- gestive of his poor memory.
 Some suggestions for the tableaux are as follows, and others will readily occur:

 Tt will be several years before the supply of men available as instructors meet the demand. Although t;,e salaries paid are from 50 to 100 per cent. higher than are those for in- structions in other subjects in sec ondary schools, the State colleges of agriculture are finding difficulty In persuading men to qualify specially for teaching, because even these sai- arieD are not equal to those paid the graduates of these institutions in the agricultural industries
 Tt is important, however, that properly trained men be obtained. Agriculture as a high-school science has not yet been developed into good pedagogical form and until it is So developed a higher grade. better trained teacher Is needed for the agricultural subjects than for any other subject in the high school cur riculum.

The national welfare depends upon agricultural prosperity; agriculture it. self is daily becoming more and more of a science: and these two factors reinforce the pressing demand for more and better agricultural educa- ton among the rural population. But where are the teachers of agricul sure coming from? This question is raised by A. c. Monahan, Specialist in Rural Education of the United States Bureau of Education. in a bulletin just issued by the Bureau for free distribution.
 At present nearly 2,000 high schools are teaching agriculture, the course being taken by an aggregate e some 37,000 pupils'' Mir. Monahan N N,tes. But in all these schools, .z,y a very few besides those giving .our-year courses in this subject have instructors with a college or normal school training in scientific agricul- ture. while a large percentage of the activs teachers with this training have had no training in psychology or pedagogy. Probably no one factor has had greater influence in retard- ing the introduction of substantial courses in agriculture in all those high schools whose pupils are drawn Tn large numbers from farming dis

 In arranging such an entertainment, 1t should be borne in mind that the more devotional hymns arc endeared to loyal church people by many ties of sentiment and emotion. Nothing of the nature of a burlesque on these would be appropriate.
 In arranging the tableaux, it Is we'll to give them on raised platform if possible. Improvised footHghts can be arranged from little lamps with re- flectors of tin. An amateur carpen- ter could make a grooved board to hold the lamps, and further plan a large frame in which the tableaux would appear like pictures. This frame should be painted dark brown, green or black. If gauge is stretch ed over the front an atmosphere of mist will tone down crudities and he!ghten artistic possibilities.

Ninety-Four And

Five Generations of Remarkable Family Alive and Attend
 Same Church

Winsted. May Mrs. Julia A. Day ton, of Winchester, celebrated her ninety-fourth birthday anniversary last is the remarkable fact that there, are five generations in her family living and all are in this town and residing within a mile and half of each other
 The line from Mrs. Dayton is compos- ed of daughters. Ali are well and ac- tive and all are members of the Win chester Congregational church except the baby, Dorothy Hurlbut, who Is too young to join. Dorothy's great-great- grandmother. Mrs. Julia Dayton, who Is ninety-four, is the widow of Ches CT Dayton, who died over thirty years ago. She was born in Unionville, her maiden name being Parsons. and has lived in Winchester about sixty years and for over forty years on the farm known as the James Bragg place on the road connecting the, Winchester road with Colebrook station. about half mile north of what IS known as Beach's four corners. Her daughter, Mrs. Emma Andru., Dorothy's great
 grandmother, with whom Mrs. Dayton has made her home for many years, is the wife of Cornelius Andrus and was born in Unionville Oct. 9, 1843. and is thus in her sixty-ninth year. Her daughter, Mrs. Julia Beach, Dorothy's grandmother, who was named for Grandma Dayton, is the wife of Geo. s, Beach. of the well-known firm of Beach Bros., and. was born in Derby, then known as Birmingham, Nov. 10, 1869, and is therefore in her fiftieth year. Her daughter, Mrs. Florence Hurlbut, Dorothy's mother, Is the wife of Lester ,Hurlhut, and was born in Winchester July g, 1890
 " Their daughter, Dorothy Alice Hurl- but. who may ever: be proud of the fact that she, belongs. to such a long lived family, was born March Il, 1911.

Ii returned to the president with the report that had failed to find out the truth and couldn't give 1t to him, would be dishonest in accepting the public funds to use them for a busi- ness that confessed to know nothing about.
 ''The government servant says to himself. Here are two men equally competent, why not give the job to my friend?' forgetting that 1t is hard to see in sUch1a case that the man without friend may be the better man for the government It is shocking to see the number of ap- pointments made out of easy-going, kindly feeling. because men are ab- solutely blind to the fact that they are guilty of moral ,obltquity in securing berths for their friends. It is a con- dition which makes me feel worried for even the most honest of men, who would scorn otherwise to sacrifice a public duty for personal gain. That is the danger of such reciprocity of favors. The man who appoints his friend to a government position be- cause he is his friend, and possesses no degree of competency, is entirely oblivious that he is guilty of any wrong doing, because no personal gain accrues to him, but the possible repu- tation of being kindly and agreeable, and most likely gains a vote or two more in the next election. 1t Is so easy to believe that some one you like is just the man for the place especially when your own income is in no wise decreased If he is not efficient.

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT .@ I.---~.~-
 AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

We favor federal aid to state and local authorities in the construction and maintenance of post roads," This was one of the blanks in the platform adopted by the national Democratic party at the convention in Denver. The Democratic House of Representatives, in further proof that the party believes in giving the people after election what it prom ised to give them before election. has passed the Shackleford amendment to the Postoffice appropriation bill. This amendment proposes an expenditure of an estimated sum of from ten to eighteen million dollars annually for the construction and improvement of the nations roads.
 The principle on which 1t is pro- posed to spend this money is based on compensation to be paid by the Federal government for the use of roads traversed by carriers in the rural free delivery service. and 4s divided into three classes. as follows:
 Class "A"-The highest form of improved road in the country, fof which it is proposed to pay $25 per mile per year.
 Class "B"-A thoroughfare of higs quality. but not equal to Class A. fo, which it is proposed to pay s2o per mile per year.

giving expression to a sentiment that has been growing rapidly throughout the country. For many years the people who live in the farming com munities, and in the smaller towns, have felt that too much of the pub cities. and that the government would got larger return for expenditures made on good roads. In the last ten years, say those who ought to know. fully 90 per cent. of the public reve- nue has been spent in the cities not withstanding] the fact that the: people of the country have furnished, more than half of all the money collected by the government.
 A quarter of a. century ago the proportion of rural population as compared to. that of the cities was about 50 per cent It is now less than. ,4e per cent. This is an abnor- nal falling off, and shows that peo- pie are getting away from the
 
 CTS in Congress attribute this falling off, in part at least, to the isolation due to poor roads.
 It has also been pointed out in speeches in Congress recently that the cost of living is directly related to the good roads problem. When the highways are poor it costs the farm CT more to move his products, with the result that the city dweller has to pay more. This represents a dead waste, inasmuch as the farmer gets none of the increased prices that are paid for his products. The profit is simply swallowed up in the high cost of transportation over poor roads.
