WOULD PUT ROD IN SCHOOL
Professor Urges Establishment of
Regular "Spanking Stations"

Professor Urges Establishment of
Regular "Spanking Stations"
Professor Frank NJ. McMurray of the
Teachers college, Columbia university
believes that spanking in the public
schools of New York is n necessary ad-
junct of education and that the law
forbidding corporal punishment in any
form Is unwise.
Furthermore, he asserts that it is not
enforced and cannot be. He thinks
the proper course would be to convert
some Of the city schools at convenient
distances apart into what in effect
would be spanking schools, presuma-
bly, in charge of husky teachers. I'm
ruly pupils from all over the city who
need the rod could then be transferred
to these schools and their cases prop
erly attended to.
Professor McMurray was engaged by
the city to investigate certain branches
of the public school system. He report
ed his theories recently.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1913-02-18

they are mostly dependent upon
their owners for food and shelter.
Many people suppose that no harm
can come to them If they are shelter
ed in any kind of house. Such Is
not the case, however. Damp sleep
ing quarters are fatal to the we'll
being of birds kept for the produc-
tion of eggs during the winter and
early spring months. So long as
ducks keep moving about wet ground
does them no harm, but when they
are compelled to lie on the damp
floor of ramshackle structure
throughout long winter nights, they
soon contract leg troubles and other
ailments.
Withal it must not be supposed
that ducks need an elaborate abode.
Essentials in the structure are a dry
floor and adequate means of ventila-
ton. Ducks dislike stuffy quar-
ters and the more fresh air they get
without draught the better they will
thrive and breed. In addition to dry
earth floor in the house the birds
will need dry litter to sleep on. Any
rough material that is dry, such as
dried grass or leaves, will do.
To insure the highest percentage
of fertility in the eggs, stock ducks
need bathing water but this does not
necessarily mean that they must have
stream or lake on which to dis
port themselves. If running water is
available, all we'll and good, but if
not, a trough made of concrete or
wood and large enough to hold at
least half barrel of water, may be
sunk into the ground to provide ia
cilities for bathing. Indian Runner
ducks will breed without having wa
ter for bathing but better results
will be obtained even from this
breed if the bath is provided.
AS stated above, ducks are capable
of gathering greater part of their
feed in the summer months if allow
ed to range. Unfortunately, how
ever, ducks that are intended for
breeding purposes during the winter
and early spring, do not have this
advantage, and the problem of sup,
plying a ration that will nourish
them equally we'll, presents itself.
Poorly nourished ducks will lay eggs
that are low in fertility. The birds
must be supplied literally with ami
NAL matter and an abundance of
green food. Steamed clover meets
the latter requirements admirab bly,.
Domestic ducks are apt to lay thin
shelled eggs, a failure that plenti-
full supply of green food will cor
rect. The best grains for ducks are
oats, wheat and corn. These should
be fed in the evening just before
housing the birds for the night.
These three varieties of grain will be
rendered more digestible if soaked
in warm water for one hour. Ducks
are very fond of boiled corn, and
when the weather is cold it may be
fed to them while yet warm. 1t
should be remembered that ducks re-
quire grit just the same as other
fowls do, and they should have ac-
cess to it at all times.

PITTSBURGH DECLINES TO
INSURE WORKERS IN zoo.
Employees May Use Stomach Pump
on Tigers, but at own Risk.

The city of Pittsburgh will not be re-
sponsible for the employees of the
Highland park geological department
who use stomach pumps on Bengal
tigers or who extract aching teeth of
gentle wolves.
@. A. O'Brlen, city solicitor, submit
ted this opinion recently. 1t was
prompted by an operation performed
on veteran Bengal tiger which had
suffered several days with extreme
'tummy ache"
Ptomaine poisoning was the diagno-
sis of Ernest Tretow, head keeper
Tretow "doped" the old jungle terror,
gave him an anaesthetic, roped and
gagged him and used a stomach pump.
He and his men came through the op-
Grafton without scratch, although
once the big Bengal showed signs of
reviving and causing some disturbance.
The operation was such a dangerous
one the employees Immediately sought
an opinion as to their rights in event
of injury.
Mr.. O'Brien said: "In such a case
there Is no legal liability on the part
of the city. l find that a man in the
capacity Of keeper at any time, in
trusting to the gentleness of a wolf or
the playful frolics of lion or tiger is
liable to be chewed up In whole or in
part, hip or thigh"

PLAN INVISIBLE AEROPLANES.
U. S. War Department to Have Ma
chimes of Transparent Material.


A newly discovered material for the
manufacture of aeroplanes-a material
transparent and that makes part Of a
machine invisible in flights being
used in the construction of war aero
planes for the United States army.
Major Edgar Russell of the aero
nautic division of the war department
said recently:
"We are experimenting with semi
transparent material to be used as
parts of the wings and understructure
of the flying machine. One object of
that is to give the operator of the ma
chine q better vision of things below
The material is not celluloid, but cellu-
loid enters into its composition"
This new material is liquid. 1t is
lighter per square foot than canvas
and IS noncombustible. 1t is admitted
that the occupant of the machine and
it's frame will be always visible, but
the experts contend that the wings can
be made invisible at 1000 feet
