Small Loss By Fire
On ''Pennsy" Lines

The smallest loss from fire experienced by
the Pennsylvania Railroad System in
thirty-four years is shown in the rail
road records for 1912.
To protect more carefully the property
of its shippers which might be in freight
stations or in transit, and also it's own
plant, the Pennsylvania has, in the past
five years enlarged it's fire fighting sys-
t m and so improved it's method of in
spection that railorad employees now ex-
tinguish many fires which formerly would
have gained headway and caused conse-
quent losses.
AS showing the steady improvement in
efficiency, in 1908 the Company s employ
es extinguished PA fires out of a total of
1897 which occurred on railroad property.
In 1909, out Of 929 fires the railroad s
own men put out 321. In 1910 they ex-
tinguished 379 fires, in 1911, 45O, and
in 1912, 454 out of total of 9O5. The
steady increase in the efficiency of the
fire fighting brigade was further devel-

ployes and equipping additional locomo-
tives in yard service with special appar-
atus for use in case of fire.
A circular is to be issued by the In.
surance Department giving the causes of
all fires on the Pennsylvania Railroad
System East and West of Pittsburgh in
1912, in order that the employees may rea-
lie that their efforts to minimize losses
from fire are appreciated and further,
that their attention may be called to the
number Of fires occurring from prevent
able causes
Including the fires to which the CITY
Fire Departments were called, the total
loss Of only $219,s92 resulted from the
9O5 fires on Pennsylvania Railroad Sys
tenn property during 1912. This loss was
exceedingly small, comparatively, as the
value of the property endangered was in
the hundreds of millions.

Think Fruit Is DAMAGED

Many of the fruit growers in lower
Delaware say that the warm weather of
the past few weeks has swelled the buds
to such an extent that the freezing wealth
er coming Immediately after a wet spell
has played havoc with the fruit. Black
berries have not been seriously hurt, and
the larger fruits may not have been in
jured much. They say it is too early as
yet to tell but it is thought that the
strawberry crop will be short in many
fields as some Of the plants have been in
blossom.

fered in our own schools. In the mean
time we wish to anticipate these courses
by encouraging pupils to undertake spec
cific duties in the home.
'We have a still more important pur-
pose in mind. We wish to have the pupils
recognize that they are members of a
family, and the fact that they attend
school does not release them from under
home is the true center of our present
civilization and the pupil cannot learn too
soon his proper relation and responsibility
to this institution. The school has, in
the opinion of some, encroached on the
home; we believe that it can now serve a
useful purpose by impressing on the pu-
pills the dignity, Importance and true
worth of all the duties incidental to fam
lily life This plan now formulated is
aimed to interest the pupils in the work
Of the home
The last Friday in every school month
is to be called "The Home Day. AT
this time an exhibit will be held in the
manual training rooms by the pupils. 1t
produced or grown by the pupils. 1t
will comprise foods, needlework, flowers
and vegetables grown by the pupils,
manual arts work, etc. Parents are urged
to visit the exhibit at which time classes
will be held in all grades on questions
pertaining to the home by parents who
have special knowledge on the subjects
Of which they shall speak.

''o'hA rLAN IN hSi60 60vER SCHOOL
The Coming of Vocational Courses Anticipated

Dover public schools, under the lead
ership of Principal G. S. Messersmith, in
augurated movement last Monday,
whereby school credit is given for all
kinds of industrial work in the home
when the same is supervised and per-
formed in manner acceptable to the
parents. Such duties as cooking meals,
making beds, cleaning rooms, cutting
wood, caring for the poultry, etc., are
tabulated with so many credits for each.
A total of six hundred points entities the
pupil to a holiday.
The chief reasons for the trial of this
novel plan are stated by Mr.. Messersmith
as follows:
Zone of the main tendencies of mo-
dern elementary education is to bring
such work into the school course which
will bring the school and the home more
closely together; more specifically stated
the purpose of the schools is becoming
more and more the equipment of the pupil
for his duties in the home, first as de-
pendent member Of the family, and later
as one of the heads of a family. This
tendency has found its most forcible and
practical expression in the so-called vo-
cational subjects now found in many
school courses.
''We have as yet not been able to I'M
dertake specific vocational work in our
schools. We do have our manual train
ing classes organized, and their good ef.
feet is already noticeable. The time will
soon come, we hope, when courses in cook,

DR.. Friedrich Franz Friedman, the
German scientist who discovered the SER
um last month, was offered 100000 by
Charles E. Finlay, banker of this city,
if he would cure 95 of 100 patients to be
placed under his care. His interest in
the serum resulted from the fact that a
relative by marriage suffers with tuher-
culosis.

If you think that the lawyer who sits at
his ease
And gives you expensive advice
Has only the task Of collecting his fees,
And that every one pays him his price;
If you think he can work when he pleases
and yet
Be daily increasing his pile,
With never a reason to worry or fret
Just try it yourself for while!
If you think that the doctor who comes
now and then
To give you pill when you re sick;
"Two dollars visit!' and "See you
again!'
Is doing pretty smooth trick.
If you think that his gloves and his auto
mobile
Are only for putting on style,
That he care not at all how you look or
you feel
Just try it yourself for a while!
If you think that the butcher who sells
you his meat
And charges you all you can pay,
Has never a rival with whom to compete,
And is storing his profits away;
If you think that his apron hears never
the throb
Of heart that is empty of guile;
That the sighs of the poor are the joys Of
his job
just try it yourself for while!
For every man S work, howe 'er you may
scoff,
Is work, when it comes to the pinch!
The journey of life is hard one, at best,
But mile slips away into mile,
And journeys must end, and their end
ings bring rest
You shall try it yourself after while!

IN Mexico events OF the past month make it
certain that tyranny and assassination must
have no place in the programme.
Bloody and rcpulsive as the brief admin
isna,ion OF General huerta has been it has
not been without benefit to Mexico, for it
has served to convince the world that the
Mexican people are too brave TO be terror

will think better OF Mexico for its repuda-

We not confident that Minister Las

fiuerta can restore peace. Rebellion has
become profession with many men in
Mexico and peace would mean return to
