Poultry Expert To
Be At Institute

The Farmers Institute Off
cials of Delaware are extremely
fortunate in having secured Mr..
Frederick II. Stoneburn Of Phlla-
delphia, to speak at the Institutes
during the coming season. Mr..
Stoneburn was professor OF poul-
try husbandry at the Agricultural
Experiment Station of Connecticut
for seven years, and has also serv-
ed other states in like capacity, and
has lectured at Farmers Institutes
in two-thirds Of the states Of the
Union. He is a man of striking per-
sonality and with the possible ex-
ception Of Professor James E. Rice
or Cornell, is the greatest poultry
man in the country. Professor
Stoneburn had very successful
experience in raising poultry years
before he began teaching and lee
turing.

A RELIEF RECORD
Work Of Red Cross In Middle
West Virtually Finished

In the October number Of the
Red Cross Magazine is made the
statement that the relief work in
sident to the great flood in the Mid
die West is virtually closed. In
Ohio and West Virginia, along the
banks of the Ohio River, there oc-
eurred a severe outbreak of typhoid
fever following the hot months OF
the summer and the Red Cross still
maintains representative In that
neighborhood. The report shows
that in the days Immediately fol-
lowing the food more than 100000
persons were compelled to depend
tpon relief supplies for food, and
there were 4,161 families, consist
ing of 256,000 persons, driven
from home and temporarily depen-
dent upon relief agencies or
friends for shelter. The food de-
stroyed 1851 dwellings,, while the
number of houses repaired and put
into habitable condition by the
Red Cross exceeded 10000. The
total expenditures in cash by the
Red Cross and various State and
local committees amounted to not
less than $3,500,OOO.
Considerable expenditures re-
main to be made, not alone to carry
cut plans already entered upon, but
to supplement this winter, where
the after effects Of the flood
have placed upon them a burden
which thew cannot bear alone.

citizens of the United States who
can comply with the requirements.
Application Form 1341, and full
information concerning the re-
quirements of the examination,
can be secured from the secretary
of the local examining board or the
postmaster at any of the places
named above, or from the U. s.
Civil Service Commission, Wash
ington, d. G.
Eligibles on registers established
prior to March 1, 1912, can be con-
sidered for appointment only at the
office for which they were examin-
ed. Such eligiles may be examin-
ed within one year from the date
of their former examinations upon
filing applications showing that
they meet the requirements OF the
new examination, their old eligibll-
ity for their home Offices not being
cancelled
Applications should be properly
executed and filed with the Com
mission at Washington. AS exam
ination papers are shipped direct
from the Commission to the places
of examination, it is necessary that
applications be received in ample
time to arrange for the examination
desired at the place indicated by
the applicant. The Commission
will therefore arrange to examine
any applicant whose application is
received in time to permit the ship
ment Of the necessary papers.
An eligible register for the posi-
ton of rural letter carrier for each
county will be maintained. A per-
son must be examined in the coun'
ty in which the post office that sup
plies his home is situated. AS a re-
suit Of such examination he may
become eligible to appointment as
rural carrier at any post Office IL
such county. A rural letter carrier
after one year s satisfactory service
NAV be transferred to the position
Of clerk or carrier in a first or sec
ond class post office, to the position
of railway mail clerk, or to Other
positions in the classified service

be required by the civil service
rules.

from the tottering child to the aged
man, have seasons Of recreation.
Baseball may be made a very
pleasant amusement, wholly bene-
fetal to health and morals. Years
ago the young school boys, after or
ganizing their team, would run and
throw the ball at each other, laugh
ing, shouting and falling IN their
eagerness to avoid being hit. No
crowd Of excited persons witnessed
these games, nobody cared which
side was victorious and all were
happy. But since it has attained
the dignity Of being our National
game" baseball has become an
elaborate affair. Professional play
ers are required and they are tram
ed as carefully as prize fighters,
Their salary is ridiculously high.
When the day set for the game ar
rives, they pitch and bat, grow red
in the face and strain their mus
cles. Heads are almost broken by
the bats and fingers by the balls OF
the excited players. The vices
which cluster around the race track
begin to encircle the spectators OF
a ball game. Thousands of dollars
are lost through gambling and men
become crazed with the desire to
win. Thus baseball is turned from
playful, restful outdoor amuse-
ment to a mere exhibition, the aim
of which is notoriety for the play
ers and exhaustion instead OF ply
steal recreation.
Let us turn from outdoor enter
tainment to the interior Of a the.
atre. The theatre is said to be a
good place to learn history and hu
man nature. Some plays as the
passion play, Quo Vadis and some
of Shakespeare's dramas are sale
to be as good as sermon. The
author of each stage production has
some moral, which shines fortf
conspicuously, when acted before
the public. The manner IN which
the play is interpreted depends OF
the class Of people represented II
the audience. In large cities the viii
people shun the churches ant
crowd the theatres. John Wesle.
said: "The stage entertainment
not only sap the foundation Of al
religion but tend to drinking ant
gambling, which are constant at
tendants at the theatre. ~
Just how far we may indulge Il
popular Amusements" does no
depend on what critics may say
but on the dictates Of each indlvld
ual's own conscience.

Should A State
Pension Its Teachers

Apropos of the discussion on the
pensioning of teachers, as touched
upon at the local institute in
Wilmington held recently, the fol
lowing review Of the bulletin just
issued on the subject by the U. S.
Bureau Of Education is interesting.
Are pensions in general wise?
Should state pension its workers?
Should it pension it's teachers any
more than any other class OF en-
ployees9 These and like questions
are discussed in the bulletin, whose
immediate purpose is to prescribe
the pension systems OF Great Brit
ain.
Teachers pensions and pension
systems, according to DR.. Sizes, rep
resent one phase of what has be-
come universal movement among
civilized peoples-a movement to
"dispose Of the superannuated and
disabled individual and to rob old
age of it's economic terrors." Pen
sions for school teachers, he points
out have existed in Germany in one
form or other for two or three CEN
turies and in other European coun-
tries for the better part OF a CEN
tury or more. On the Continent
the benefits of teachers pensions
have often been extended to in
clude widows and orphans OF
teachers. In Scotland a compro-
hensive system has been developed
based on scientific insurance prin-
ciples, which DR.. Sizes considers es-
pecially valuable for the United
States.
! Whether pensions shall be sup
ported in whole or in part by the
state, or whether they shall be fin
anced entirely by the teachers
themselves, is a problem that has
been solved differently in different
countries. In Germany the state
finances the entire plan, the teach
ers making no contributions what
soever. In France the teachers are
heavily assessed to keep the pen
sion system going. In the United
States the tendency is to ask small
contributions from the teachers. AS
permanent arrangement DR.. Sizes
favors the German plan, not be-
cause he thinks it any more gener-
Gus to the teachers, but because he
considers it better business for the
state to finance and manage the
system itself. He shows that III
any event the burden is ultimately
shifted to the teachers.
While admitting, therefore, that
contributions may be necessary to
start a substantial pension system,
he believes they should be discon-
tinued as soon as possible. In his
opinion contributions from teach
ers as a permanent feature not only
add nothing to the effectiveness OF
a pension plan, but they Intro
: duce needless complexity, they are
a source Of constant irritation anc
| misunderstanding, and they are re-
+ sponsible for vast amount OF un
necessary bookkeeping and Other
clerical work." DR.. Sizes concludes
with a strong recommendation fol
5 non-contributory pension system
, for American teachers.
