Children Plan Memorial
To Doctor Twitmyer

The fundamental principle in the
late Dr. George w. Twitmyer's ad-
ministrative policy for Wilmington
schools was that the child is para
mount to everything else in the sys-
tenn. The schools exists for the
child, he repeatedly emphasized,
and of courses Of study and the de-
tails are Of secondary and minor
importance to the welfare of the in
dividual.
Because Of his sympathy with
childhood and his love Of children
and his work in behalf Of those Of
our city schools during the past
fourteen years it has been deemed
most appropriate that the children
express their gratitude and apprec-
iation of his life and work by some
fitting memorial to his memory. It
has been planned and active steps
have already been initiated toward
placing, as the children s memorial,
in the children s department Of the
Institute Free Library, an oil por-
trait Of the late DR.. Twitmyer. The
Primary Teachers Association has
charge Of the matter. Contribu-
tions are to be purely voluntary and
the amount received will determine
the size Of the portrait. DR.. Twit-
!myer was especially concerned that
the boys and girls should not only
learn how to read understandingly
but that their taste should be form
ed for good literature. In his last
report he especially commended the
work of the Institute Free Library
as an adjunct to education in Will
mington and referred to the school
libraries that had meen established
in each school as forming an excel
lent opportunity to train the Judge
ment of the children in matters Of |
reading. For this reason it was
thought fitting that the children s
memorial should be placed in the

ing Saturday, was in the box for
Newark again, and pitched a fine
game. He held the visitors to five

Feeding Rations
For Laying Hens

In feeding hens for egg produc.
ton, 1t is necessary to give bal
anced ration. The following is an
excellent one but it must be re-
membered that both the scratch
food and the so-called dry mash
are to be considered, and any
change IN one should involve a
change in the other. This ration is
the one that has been used at one of
the most successful egg laying COM

the disease is very easily transmitted,
he then protected all herds IN the
immediate vicinity by inoculati0n.
The idea was to form lone Of i'm.
mune animals around the infected
center.
Hog cholera is caused by a germ
that exists in the biJod. It is an
organism apparently so small that
the most powerful microscopes 90
not show it. However. it is easy to
demonstrate its presence by inocu-
lating a small part Of the blood from
a sick hog into a well one, which
produces the hog cholera.
Hog cholera is a disease which
seems to be stopped to a degree by
the frosts Of winter, although frost
cannot be said to stop a case after L
has taken hold Of lis victim. How
ever, it seems to prevent the rapid
spread Of the disease. The result is
that in spring time the affection is,
as a rule, at the lowest ebb, but in
creaSes rapidly from that time until
fall.
Hog cholera does not seem to af'
feet any particular breed Of hogs
more than another, and while gener-
ally the careless farmes is more api
to have the disease among his hog:
than the careful one, the disease
sometimes occurs where the condi
tions are sanitary. It is hoped tha
the work may be extended gradu
ally until the disease is completed,
controlled or eliminated. The fac
that hog cholera is carried not onl,
by the hogs themselves, but BY
birds, dogs, streams ana even on tn
feet Of men going from one farm Il
another shows how necessary it i
that the campaign be thorough an,
that farmers exert their best effort
to assist in the work.

BLlSSFUL IGNORANCE.
Case of uniformed Officers
Enforcing Child Labor Law.

well, now, don't just exactly
know what the age limit for children
is in this State, or what the law is
in regard to hours" said a sheriff Of
one of the counties in Mississippi.
And this state of blissful ignorance
is typical Of the majority Of the Of
fcers charged with the enforcement
Of Mississippi's child labor law,
according to a recent report Of the
National Child Committee. The
county health officer receives a
salary Of $50 a month. Naturally
he has never been inside Of a factory.
The duties Of a county sheriff are
many, and his factory inspection
must necessarily be reduced to a
casul inquiry as 10 how conditions
are, " when he meets factory

meantime, the investigator for the

found children from 6 to Is working
ten and eleven hours a day in
factories that were far from modern
in their sanitary equipment. Mis-
sissippi has law to prevent this,
but Of what value, asks the Missis-
sippi Child Labor Committe, is a
law that depends for its enforcement
upon officials who are ill-paid and

Object of Department.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 81
The Department Of Agriculture du-
ring the past year, has been CON
Quoting campaigns in Indiana. Ms
sour, Iowa and Nebraska to control
the contagious disease Of hogs known
as hog cholera" by means Of anti
hog-eholera serum and farm quaran-
tines. In one county, Pettis county,
Missouri. where there was a loss Of
Is per cent in 1911 and ESQ per
cent in 1912 Of all hogs raised, there
was only a loss Of 14.7 per cent up
to November, 1913. This decrease
was due to the use Of the serum,
which, although not used there by
the Departments agents until Au-
gust, 1913, materially reduced the
loss. About $1,000 hogs were raised
during the past year and Of the TO-
600 that died Of hog cholera only
about 1000 were lost after active
use Of serum and quarantine meas
ures were inaugurated.
IN every county where these meas
ures were employed, even though
begun after the disease had contin-
ued its ravageS for some time, there
was less from hog cholera than in
either Of the two preceding years.
In addition to its great function as
preventive, il has been found
that anti-hog-cholera serum would
cure a large proportion Of hogs in the
early stages Of the disease and rem
der them immune after recovery,
However, II hogs are not treated by

campaign against the devastating
hoy disease has only been able 70
commence in a few Of the districts
where the cholera was the most
widespread and where the active
cooperation Of the State was offered
in enforcing the ordinary quarantine
measures, etc.
The object Of the Department has
been to endeavor 10 control the dis
ease and If possible, to eliminate It
from the country. To secure this
end the best efforts Of the farmer
himself are necessary. The cam
paign against this devastating sick
nesss during 1913 was planned in
the territory selected along three
lines.

ton Of the farmers in the districts
