Toledo Blade. I.

A feature of the mission in progress at
St. Adams Episcopal Church is the ques-
tion box with which each evenings in
struction begins Father Field is very
keen and interesting with answers to
questions and withal very witty, and so
the question box is we'll filled each even
ing and the discussion is eagerly looked
for. -
A question coming up in many guises
is that of Sunday observance: Is it
wrong to play baseball on Sunday" asks
one. well, that depends, " said Fr.
Field, "if a person has really kept holy
day-that is, has been at divine service
in the morning and say up till noon-If
he has no other time to play base ball
he might very well enjoy a game in the
afternoon. 1t is much better than idle
ness. There are a good many people
who seem to think that idleness is the
only vlrtuous thing for Sunday, but real
1y it is very dangerous and wicked
thing; for observe that there really is no
such thing possible as idleness-'S Satan
finds some mischief still for idle hands
to do. Some. people will sit in their
houses on Sunday afternoon, thinking
evil thoughts about their neighbors or
reading Sunday trash and think them
selves much better than the woman who
does some necessary mending
But, then, we ought to be careful
that our way Of keeping Sunday, though
innocent in itself, does not make others

Loss Of life
PLACED HIGH.

Zone Reported Safe - Volcano
North Of Tokyo In Action.
Tokyo, Jan. Is, - Government Off
cials announce that the eruption OF
the volcano Sakurashima. which be-
gan on Jan. IL, is abating. It is I'm.
possible yet to estimate the loss Of
life, to say nothing Of the extent Of
the property damage, since the island
of Sakura, which appears to'have suf.
fered heaviest, is still shut off from
the outside by the continued rain of
ashes from the volcano.
The city of Kagoshima, which was
reported completely destroyed. Jared
much better than earlier dispatches
indicated. The city was badly dam
aged by the earthquakes and by the
ashes from the volcano, but the for.
eign office received a dispatch from
Ijuin, formerly Japanese minister to
China, who lives in Kagoshima, in
which the loss of life is placed at
only 10 persons killed. Thirty more
were injured, he said. The dispatch
added that the city had suffered Sc
verely in property loss
Word that all Americans at Kago-
shima and the rest of the affected ter
ritory are safe was received from Carl
F. Deichman, American consul at Ma
gasak, 30 miles away. Mr.. Deich-
mans telegram read: "a private tele-
gram states that Americans that
were in Kagoshima fled to Sendai,
near, Kagoshima All safe" The
in Kagoshima included a
number Of missionaries.
The officers of the warships and of
troops in and near the affected dis
trict have orders to search the dis
.rict, particularly the is@nnd Of Sa-
zura, at the fTst opportunity. Accu-
'ate estimates of the loss of life are
lot likely until this official search
has been made. Private dispatches
received here say that the first of the
arger buildings of Kagoshima to be
destroyed was the postoffice, which |
collapsed at the beginning of the |
eries of earthquake shocks. Those
n the building escaped injury.

ill fragmentsry, but it seems that
lie loss of life was not as heavy as

COST OF SUPERVISION
Estimate Made by the School Surve,
Commission.

Commission.
Columbus, O., Jan. 12.-Estimates
If the cost of rural school super
vision in the forthcoming report of
the school survey commission are
about 100000 annually, of which the
st2te is to ray one half and the local
boards the other half. Minimum sal
aries, $500 for county superinten-
dents and $1,000 for district super
yisors, were used in making the esti-
mates. AS larger salaries probably
will be raid @by some counties and
districts, the total cost may exceed
this mark.
The estimated number of district
supervisors is placed at 300, or one
supervisor for every 60 teachers. The
proposed law specifies the maximum
number Of teachers per supervisor at
80 and the minimum at 90 On the
basis of one supervisor for As teach
ers, the total cost of supervision on
the minimum scale would be S672,000.

The operators recently declared the
laws based on the report would be
ruinOus to them.
Although the straight run-ofmine
proposal and desire for conservation
meet with general approval from the
200 or more miner delegates attend

is advanced that these details should
be settled by conferences between
miners and operators in the individ-
ual localities. That a statewide reg
ulatory measure is impractical was
held by officers of the association.
