MORE PUNCH IN SERMONS
Pittsburg Clergymen to Inspire VigOr
by Eracticing Deep Breathing.

(Pittsburk Dispatch to n. Y. Sum-
With the hope of putting more of a
punch into his sermons, about three
score pastors of various local congre-
cations met to take strenuous physical
exercise in the old English Street Re-
formed Presbyterian Church, under
the direction of W. Earl Flynn, WHO
has come to conduct public hea ii
campaign in Pittsburgh.
The subject dwelt mainly upon de p
b eathing as means of wardirg off
the blues and inspiring yigor into dali
life. Under the supervision of M.
Flynn the shepherds of the different
fiocks inflated and emptied their lungs
for half an hour, becoming more en-
thusiastic with each breath, UNI the
effects resembled a miniature viii
storm or the resonance of WlnrYy
alasts in the chimney.
Mr.. Flynn Impressed upon his Eol-
deeply to secure the proper punch in
their sermons. He declared that as the
lungs formed one of the greatest fac
tors in obtaining and maintaining
good health, deep breathing kept a
man in perfect working order and con-
tributed to his daily working efficien-
cy. One of the exercises consisted of
doubling the fingers SO as to form a
hole, and then exhaling the breath
through the aperture until minimum
of air remained in the lungs. Mr..
Flynn declared this exercise one d
the greatest preventitives or cures for
consumption, as the case might be.

SECVRETS OF BABY'S TOES
French Countess Finds Them Index tt
Child's After History.

paris Cable to New York Times?
The Countess de la Rochefoucauld
has just given to the world the result
of her researches into a remarkable
and an entirely new science, whicl
she says she has discovered. She can
tell, she says, from the inspection Of
the toes whether a child now in the
cradle is going to kill it's father when
it grows up.
The idea was first suggested to her
by the story of Oedpus, famous parri-
eide, who bore on his foot the stibma
of the infamies which he was to &C
complish. That made the countess
think very hard, indeed, and ever
since she has been busily engaged in
inspecting the toes OF PARTICLES with
a view of discovering if definite type
exists.
The result of her work is embodied
in the momentous announcement
which she made few days ago: He
who is going to kill his father has a
shorter big toe than most other peo-
pie"
Once her discovery was complete
she lost no time in communicating L
to the proper people. Naturally, she
went first of all to M. Bertillon, Of
| fngerprint fame. Hethougt it a very
pretty idea and recommended that the
| countess take it to the project of po.
lice. That functionary, however, said
that it did not appeal to him very
much, but he thought it might interest
| the minister of the interior. So Oft
went the discoverer to the ministry.
The presiding genius there was duly
! impressed, but said that it was a case
for Bertillon. When it was explained
to him tnat the anthropologist had al
lready been approached he limited vag-
uely that the president of the republic
was a man to whom nothing came
amiss; 50 the scientist proceeded to
the Elysee palace Since then nothing
more has been heard of her.

TEACHING AGRICULTURE

The value of teaching agricultutl
in the United States has come to be
realized more clearly than ever be-
fore. Those who teach agricultur G
are especially well rewarded in com
parison with other teachers. The need
of more teachers of agriculture is be-
ing felt very strongly. The demand
for them is great, as the Macon Tel
egraph observes:
1t pays to teach agriculture Ac-
cording to bulletin just issued by
the United States Bureau of Educa-
ton, the teacher of agriculture in the
high school usually receives a consid-
erably higher salary than the teacher
of other subjects. The most usual
salary for male teachers in hign
schools in the United States is $7Oo
but for teachers of agriculture in the
group studied the most usual salary
was $1,000.
Tack of teachers" is the explana-
ton offered to account for the relr-
lively higher remuneration for thool
who teach agriculture. When the sub.
ject was introduced into the schools u
short summer course provided suffic.
lent training, but with the extension
of the work to include several years
of careful high school study under
scientific farming conditions, there
has come a demand for trained agri
cultural teachers that has exhausted
the supply. Furthermore, many 81
the states are giving aid to local hign
schools for agricultural instruction, SC
that these schools are able to pay be-
ter salaries for teachers of agriculture
than for teachers of other branches.
Not only is it found that the aver
age pay of special instructors in agri-
culture is higher than of other teach
ers, but that teachers who are able &c
give such instruction in addition tc
regular work command better salar-
les than they otherwise would and
are more likely to be advanced C
principalships than if they did not
have the agriculture.
Better pay is only one of the many
indications of the remarkable growth
in Importance of this school subject II
the past four or five years, Agricul-
ture had been taught here and there
in the schools for many years, but
made little impression on the curric.
ulum before 1906 In the year 1906
there were about 100 secondary
schools in the United States that gave
some sort of agricultural instruction
in 1910 about 1900 schools reported
that agriculture was taught as a sep
arate study in the high school depart
ment; and the 1912 figures as far a.
compiled indicate very large in
crease over previous totals.
