Prestdent WILSON'S Health.

Some OF the Democratic newspa-
pers think President Wilson has had
very trying tasks since he began ais
duties less than two months ago and
that he ought to take a rest FOR the
benefit of his health
There have been but few matters
of administration beyond parry affairs
TO engage the attention or the presi-
dent. Mexican troubles have given
him no particular concern. TIE
Japanese incident seems to be about
the only thing OF administrative in
terest he has worried about 81
other matters including that of the
tarif tinkering have been limited &c
party and he rid himself Of LOT OF
annoyance from Office seekers soon
after becoming president by should
ering such responsibility on. his cab
net officers.
OF course, exactly how much the
ofice-seeking hunger on the part o.
hi Democratic followers spiriS
bears down on him from this dist
ance can not be known. Again me
substantial opposition in his own
party to the free trade policy NAY
have lain heavily upon him.
Every American citizen IS inter
ested in the presidents health ard
all of them hope he may be able -
endure the responsibilities Of his o.
fee. but the fact that he IS run down
should be attributed 10 party matters
rather than administration affairs.

Yet, that IS the direction iDio
which some OF the well meaning but
unthfnking friends OF this newspaper
would drive it. They want it TO

They do not seem to understand why

When reference is made TO the
publication of the same item IN Two
successive editions of the same news

these persons. But. is there any
sane reason why news published n
one issue OF one newspaper should be
repeated in the next issue Of another
newspaper. even when these tw2
newspapers occupy different fields:
If The newspaper Of one field

If both newspapers should half iIl

there would be foolish and unnec-
essary waste Of practically an entire

be economically unsound. It would

TEACHER Of Agriculture.

1t pays to teach agriculture &c
.cording TO a bulletin just issued BY
the United states Bureau Of Educa-
ton. the teacher OF agriculture IN
the high school usually receives a
considerably higher salary than the
teacher Of other subjects. The most
usual salary for male teachers IN
high schools in the United States ls
500 but for teachers Of agriculture
in the group studied the most ususl
salary was 81 zoe.
Lack OF teachers IS the expla-
nation offered by the authors Of the
bulletin. &c. H Robinson and F. y
jerks. to account for the relatively
higher remuneration for those. who
teach agriculture When the subject
was frst introduced into the schools
a short summer course provided
sufficient training. but with the ex-
tension OF tho work to include sever
al years Of careful high school study
under scientific farming conditions.
there has come a demand for trained
agricultural teachers that has eN-
hausted the supply. Furthermore.
MANY or the states are giving aid 70
local high schools for agricui-
turaI instruction. so that these
schools are able to pay better salaries
Tor teachers Of agriculture than Tor
teachers of other branches.
Not only is it found that the ave.
age pay OF special instructors in ag-
ricuIture is higher than of other
teachers. but that teachers who arc
able to give such instruction in adj
dition to regular work command bet
ter salaries than they otherwise
would and are more likely to be Sd-
vanced to prIncipalships than if they
did not have the agriculture
Better pay for teachers Of agricut-
ture is only one OF many indications
Of the remarkable growth in impore-
ance of this school subject in the last
four or ave years. Agriculture had
been taught here and there in the
SCHOOLS for many years, but made
little impression on the curriculum
before 1906. IN the year 1906-1T
there were about a hundred sec
ond--y. schools in the United States
that. gave some sort of agricultural
instruction; in 1910 about eighteen
hundred schools reported to the su~
reau OF Education that agriculture
was taught as a separate study N
the high school department; and TIE
1912 figures as far as compiled in
dicate a very large increase over pre-
vious totals.
Elementary instruction in ags;
culture IS now required in seventeen
states. as follows: alabama, 'Arkan-

The bell echoed the hopes Of the peoples hearts
and its melodious Bon Voyage" sounded over the
Delaware he sailed away.
When the planning and splitting mills were
closed and the manufacture of iron and steel prod
ucts prohibited by acts of parliament in
Pennsylvania and the kings arrow was ah1xeo
upon pine trees and the trade Of the colonies in
all parts of the world restrained. the bell was
again tolled to assemble the people in the state
house yard to protest against such outrages.
Thus did the bell. long before the Revolution
become the beloved symbol of truth and freedom
reinforcing with pugnacious and violent peals the
of determined citizens, in the largest political
meeting held up to that time in the state house
yard that of the ship "Polys detestable
tea, that had just been brought into the port
should be funneled down their throats with par
lament duty mixed with it,"
When the port of Boston closed In May
1874, and the heart of the country growing
heavier with its afflction, the bell more
carefully muffled and toIled in solemn and pro-
phetic manner. both to announce the closing of
the port and, little later, to call a meeting to
restriction of it's trade
As the conflict with England approached the
bell rung and more; its became

Just after the reports came to Philadelphia OF the

Despite the fact that the Liberty Bell is one
of the most treasured of national relics. it is not
originally American product, but foreign i'm
portation; and imported from England, too, where
it first cast according to the order given in
October 1851, by the superintendents of the state
house of the Province of Pennsylvania-now indie
pendence Hall.
Thomas Lester of White Chapel London. cast
the bell and by August, 1852, it arrived in Phia-
delphia and erected trusses in the state
house yard While being to11ed and tested early
in September of the same year it was cracked by
the clapper, though by unusually powerful
stroke. Concerning this accident, Isaac Morris
wrote, March TO- 1853:
Though the news of our bell cracking is
not very agreeable to us, we concluded to send 1t
back by Captain Budden. who had brought it from
London last August but he could not take it on
board, upon which two ingenious workmen under
took cast it here. and 1 just informed
they have this day opened the mould and have
got good bell. which. confess. pleases me very
much, that should first venture upon and sue
coed in the greatest bell cast, for aught know,
in English America The mould finished in
q very mastery manner. and the letters,
told, are better than (on) the old one When we
broke up the metal judges here generally
agreed it too high and brittle, and cast
eral little bells out of it to try the sound and
strength. and fixed upon mixture of ounce
and half of copper to the pound of the old bell.
and in this proportion we now have it
Herman Pass, from the Island of Malta, and
Jacob Stow, a son of Charles Stow, the doorkeep-
of the assembly were the two ingenious work
referred in the above letter After the
second casting of the bell it was again hung and
tested in the spring of 1853. More defects
soon found. however. The American casters.
Pass and Stow, who were not bell founders by
trade at,all, had put much copper in the metal
that its sound impaired Disappointed
with that failure and also nettled at the gbes of
their townsmen concerning it, they asked permits
sion to cast the bell second time Thomas Les
ter, the original maker of 1t, also offered his
services, but the authorities decided to allow
Pass and Stow to proceed again, and thus the
third and present casting made, and again
the bell raised; this time in the state house
steeple itself. That operation completed by
the end of August of 1853, when the American
casters were paid e so lbs. sd. for their labors-
Then began its chimes, August 81 1853, when
it called the assembly together, ringing out the
old ringing in the new; sounding its melodies for
innumerable public and private events during
than four-score of years

There is a sound magnifying trum-
