SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

The most powerful agency in school
management is kindness. There is no
force on earth so potent as love. When
it has possession of the human heart it
IS al eeruading and overnoWering. and
especially if brought to bear upon SYM
pathetic childhood and youth. The
teacher'must rule by kindness, have a
uniformity of good will, earnest SYM
pathy, and hearty generosity habitually
exercised toward his pupils. The
teacher alone who loves his pupils has
power to gain their love and confidence,
which should be their chief reliance in
school management An affectionate
pupil will confde in teachers judg-
ment, respect his authority and fear his
displeasure. If you show him by your
personal attention and kindness that
you are his true friend, and that all
your efforts are designed to secure his
best good, and make him believe it, you
hold him as by the power of enchant-
ment, having no need of physical force
to keep him in subjection. He is held
by another and higher law, which in
duces him to crafty your wishes snc
seek the best good of the school. But
this kindness, which is an essential ele
ment in every true system of govern
ment, is not, and cannot be, substi
tute for authority or an obstacle tt
severity, when the good of the individual
or school demands it. The teacher mus
cherish an abiding love for his pupils
and that love in the MITIGATION O.
necessary punishment in the manage
of public affairs.

COOK PORK WELL
Great Quantities are Consumed
in Raw State
coon. Rule FOR COOKING


While American people ss rule pre-
fer cooked pork which is wholesome
there are many who unknowingly or
deliberately consume pork in an un-
cooked condition, either in the form OF
raw ham or smoked sausages- In
many districts, particularly in sections
with large foreign populations, great
deal of pork is made privately or com
mercially into such products for home
use or for sale.
Great risks always attends the use OF
raw or undercooked pork. The illness
which may result from eating raw
pork, known as trichinosis, is caused
by a parasite or a worm, microscopic
in size, which occurs in the flesh of
hogs. There is no known effective
method of treating the disease. The
patient dies or RECEIVERS apparently ir-
respective of the nature of the treat
ment Many who do not die have their
health impaired.
Statistics based on microscopic IN
spection of over 8, 1000, 600 hogs during
a period of nine years in this country
have shown that 141 per cent of the
hogs were infested with live trichinae
This fact alone makes it important that
everyone who eats pook should for the
protection of health eat it only when
thoroughly cooked.
The trichina parasites die and be-
come harmless when exposed to tenn
perature of 14O degrees F. for a short
time. In the case of uncured pork the
thoroughness of the cooking can be
Judged by whether the meat clear to
the center of the piece has lost its red
disl bloody appearance and has be-
come more or less white in color. In
order to obtain a temperature of LAC
degrees at the center it is necessary
that the temperature to which the
piece of meat is exposed during cook
ing should be considerably higher than
140 degrees.
The following rule for cooking pork
by boiling is based on careful expert
ments carried out by Danish investi'
gator:
Cook the meat Is minutes (summer)
to 18 minutes (winter) for each pounc
of weight if put into boiling water
keeping Il ttii1e water beeiIIiiEe5 beeiIIiiEe5 tt,rel1ghnni
the cooking process. If the meat il
put into cold water, deduct half the
time required to bring the water to &
boil.
Examples: How long should Il
pound ham be boiled if placed in boil
ing water?
10 k 18 equals 18O minutes, or
hours.
How lons should 10 pound ham b,
boiled if placed in cold water and if
hour is required to bring the water t.
a boil?
10 x 1870 equals $50 minutes, o
21-2 hours, after boiling begins.
The 18 minute per pound allowance
should be followed in summer if tn
meat is taken from a refrigerator an
co king begun before 1t has had tim
to reach the ordinary house tempera
ture. For high attitudes, where tn
temperature of bling water is consid
erably less than at sea level, the tim
of cooking must be heightened.

Prof Cyril ID. Hopkins, director of the

Association. of Baltimore, has been Sc
cured 10 make an address before the
Frederick County Farmers Association
at the regular monthly meeting on Satur-
day afternoon next. The announcement
of Dr. Hopkins coming was made by
President Jesse P. King, of the Farmers
Association. He wrote to Prof. Hopkins
several days ago and the acceptance was
at once forwarded.
A speaker of national reputation. Prof.
Hopkins will need little introduction 10
an audience of Frederick farmers. He is
the author OF a number Of books on sub
jects of interest to the farmer, and his in
terest in the farm has spread far and
wide.
Perhaps on the question of soil Prof
Hopkins IS best versed He has made
this his study, especially in the use Of
lime and phosphates on the land. This
question:" said President King sis one
that now vitality conironts the Frederick
farmers and the speaker will bring facts
which will prove of inestimable value, if
needed"
1t is a recognized fact, stated Mr.
| King, that burnt lime is being discarded
for use on the soil and in its place
ground natural limestone is being sown.
To make the greatest success with land,
the farmers are gradually using more
phosphaies. The reason for this will be
explained in full by the speaker and he
will also tell of the compositions to be
used in order TO get the best results.
This meeting promises to be one of the
most valuable to the farmers of any yet
held, according to President King, and
he desires to see a large turnout Of the
| members.

For an Open Season for Reedbirds
in Maryland.

Notices have been issued by the u. S.
Department of Agriculture calling atten-
ton to a proposed amendment in the
Federal regulations for the protection of
migratory, insectiverous birds. Under
the new rule reed or rice birds can be
shot in September and October in the
States of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and
Delaware, Maryland, the District of Co.
lumbla, Virginia and South Carolina.
The law requires three months notice of
this change. II it is decided to adopt it,
the rule will be officially promulgated at
the end Of that time and will 60 into effect
on September l. 1914.
The effect Of this change will be to ex-
tend to sportsmen IN New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, and Delaware the privilege of
shooting the birds during period Of two
months This they can now do in Mary.
land, the District of Columbia, Virginia
and South Carolina As the season is
so short it is not believed that the birds
will suffer appreciably in numbers.
In The late summer and early fall, thew
migrate to the far South, where they are
known as reed or rice birds. They are
regarded in the States where they can be
shot as offering good sport.
