larity. The history of the Reds dates
back to about 1854, but 1t Is only of
recent years that the poultry world
acknowledged them as a breed, says
the Farm Journal At that date, It
is claimed, Red Cochin China cocks
and Red Malay cocks were brought
into sections Of Rhode Island and
Massachusetts by sea captains. Later
Rose Comb Brown Leghorn blood was
introduced in some sections, and thus
for 60 years the male bird for the
head of each flock was selected of
red color and a vigorous condition.
The breed is conceded to be one
of the best for practical purposes. The
birds are excellent layers Of large
brown eggs, and are first-class as ia
BILE poultry, being adapted for both
broilers and roasters. The standard
weight is: Cock, SIC pounds; cock
erel, 7h pounds; hen, 61a pounds; pull
let pounds.

Learn THROUGH Experience.

Theory and experience are two diff

beginner in poultry work to under
stand this from the start. You can
read a lot about poultry treating, but
the thing to do is to learn a lot by
experience. The reading will help you
solve many problems but the act

more real. To do this, one should

PUBLIC DRILLS
CAUSE TEACHER
TOQU|T SCHOOL
Young Woman Objects to Shafts
Of Wit Hurled by Observing
PopuIaCe of Savannah.

SAVANNAH, June 14-Miss Min
ma Suffer, a teacher in st. Patrick's
School, has rendered her resignation
to the Board of Public Education fol-
lowing her suspension by the princi-
pal Of the school because she refused
to take part in certain semi military
drills ordered for the children in con-
nectiOn with the commencement ex
ercises. The matter has created con-
siderable gossip in school circles.
The differences between Miss Suffer
and Principa. O'Hara began two
years ago. when the military drills
were first instituted in the schools.
The friction at that time resulted in
the withdrawal OF the orders to the
teachers to give the commands to the
children for these exercises. This
year the military drills were re-
sumed, and Miss Suffer rebelled.
Says Teachers Are Humiliated.
Miss Suffer insists that the teach
ers are greatly Inundated by being
forced to take part in these drills,
which are held in the public square IN
front Of the school, and invariably at
tract crowds. The teachers are forced
to stand in front of the lines like OFF,
made the butt of remarks by the
crowd. Furthermore, the drills take
place only in the summer and in the
hottest part Of the day, which, Miss
Suffer maintains, is not good for the
children or the teachers.
Miss Suffer this year refused to
give the commands to her class on
the ground that military tactics have
no place in the school course, and be-
cause she did not believe the mem
bers Of the school board would expect
her to make a spectacle Of herself be-
fore the general public. Miss Suffer
further states that such drilling is
not customary, and that none Of the
other schools Indulge in ii.
Questions Principals Authority.
She says it is not reasonable. and
is injurious to the health of both the
children and the teachers. Miss Sui
ter insists that the principal was not
vested with authority to insist upon
this open-air work. An issue was
made Of the matter by Principal
O'Hara, and Miss Suffer was ordered
home from the public square in what
she terms an undignifed and discour-
teoug manner before the entire school
and every passing stranger.
Miss Suffer was suspended by the
principal, and not by the board, and
she maintains that, according to the
president Of the board. the principal
had no right to suspend her Miss
Sulter was present at the hearing be-
fore the board, which, she says, was
entirely unsatisfactory to her, its pol
lev seeming to be that the principal
must be upheld at any cost.

who are anxious to exchange the old
