save in rare cases. counties do not adopt with enthusiasm school improvement or any other movement upon it's first ap- pearance. Three years are required to organize efficiently a county, and that by experts.
 There are, of course, exceptions to this rule, cases where county superintendent of education like MT. Hughes of Tusca- loosa county throws his official influence in the scale.
 With a county organization we'll un- der way the School Improvement associa- tion should have definite aims regard ing the local educational needs and the end toward which this newly aroused in- terest is to be directed. The uncom- fortable, .unattractive and unemployed ru- ra1 school is too familiar to need descrip- ton. There are other faults less obvious and more lastingly harmful. The present day rural school Is inade- quate to train boys and girls to meet present day rural problems, because It does not teach health. It does not give scientific training in preparation of foods and clothing It does not give training in out-of-door industries carried on in every rural home It does not give training for the leisure in the home.
 It does not give training for political citizenship.
 
 which the School Improvement associa- ton is concerned. To aid in remedying the first of these omissions it has estab- lished health committee which has been active in placing before School Improve ment associations plans and ideas for i'm proved school sanitation and the promo ton of the health of teachers and pupils To aid in supplying training in prepara- ton Of foods and clothing and in out-of- door industries of the rural home, the association last year issued pamphlets upon the introduction of domestic science and sewing in rural schools and upon the introduction of manual training. These pamphlets have received widespread com mendation. The southern conference for education requested copies for distribu- tion in every southern state Louisiana instantly adopted them and secured copies for each parish superintendent Missis- sippi is using them, Virginia has reuuest- ed copies, and the chairman of the Gen. eral Federation of Women's Clubs com mends them.y
 Next the improvement association is interested in the enriching of rural life through the country school. It should give adequate preparation for spending leisure both indoors and out It should give interest in civic problems It should prepare for neighborhood industry. It

the Alabama Congress of Mothers have much in common and these should be the closet connection between them. In some states these two become one. the organization being called the Parent and Teachers league. This is true in the north and west, while the south prefers the separate School Improvement asso- citation.
 Quite recently six state organizations have formed a union committed cpncen- trating their combined influence on few | needed educational reforms. This is in eeed an important move toward better things educationally, for the entire state" Mrs. Thames has been president of the state association since 1908. Under her administration it has been established on firm basis. She has been at it's head during crucial period and she is due the appreciation Of every person who is work ing for better schools
 In 1909 only 20 counties in Alabama had active county organizations, while now there are 61 that are at work. In 1909 the expenditure in School Improvement asso- citations throughout the state was be- tween $12,000 and $15.0O0 For the part year, reported in the meeting held on Friday, the amount was s169 42s.90 Nor gan county lead with an expenditure of $17, 720, Hale came next with $17221 and Jefferson next with $i3,5O0. Through the
 
 and the same number of Corn and Toma- to clubs have been organized. Twelve school gardens, 13 cooking classes and 13 manual training clubs. and 27 reading circles have been established during the past year.
 The figures show in a tangible way what the Improvement associations have done but the good they have done, the sense of responsibility and the community pride they have awakened cannot be es- timated.
 Mrs. Thames this year resigns the pres idency of the state organization and will devote her time to legislative work In doing this she says that it Is but just that the county presidents who give eff cient service in their counties should have this highest honor, that no woman should continue to occupy the executive chair while other workers have not this recognition of the service they render She leaves the presidency, after having given the states educational interest an invaluable uplift.

Constant or intermittent irritation producing itching and red. angry ec- zema patches on the skin Is readily re- lieved with bold-sulphur cream The moment it is applied the itching stops and the healing begins. says a noted dermatologist.
 It effects such prompt relief, even in aggravated eczema that it is a never ending source of amazement to physi- clans. tTl
 For many years bold sulphur cream has occupied secure position in the treatment of cutaneous eruptions by reason of its cooling. parasite destroy Ing properties It Is not only. parasit- cidal but also antipruritic and antiseptic and nothing has ever been found to take It's place in overcoming irritable and in- ilammatory affections of the sktn. While not always establishing . per- manent cure, yet in every instance 1t lnetantly stops the agonizing itching; subdues the irritation and heals the iii- Ilamed raw skin right up and 1t 10 often years later before any eczema eruption again appears.
 Those troubled should get from any pharn1acist an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply 1t directly upon the affected skin like you would any ordi- nary cold cream. It isn't unpleasant and the prompt relief afforded is very welcome. particularly when the eczema b accompanied with itching.

Amusement for Night Workers

From the Rochester Democrat and
 Chronicle
 New and grave problems arise with the progress of civilization, and cause us to question, sometimes with serious intent sometimes merely for speculative enter tainment whether our so-called advances are such indeed. For instance, we pre- sume that our feet were made for walk ing on the ground, and that when we chance to walk barefoot, perhaps on A. bathing beach, there is that perfect ad- justment that was in th mind of the Maker. Yet today, in the city, all wear shoes and, for the most part, walk on cement or stone or wood. Further some of us raise our heels from 2 to inches above normal, and we do other things with our feet that are against the high Stoic doctrine of living according to nature."
 A more serious matter Is that of night labor and night life in general We wond- Ter if in primitive days people went to bed with the chickens and arose at cockcrow. It seems reasonable assumption, for it ia in accord with the natural order of things Today there is u strong tendency to turn night into day. With the aid of our tremendously improved methods of lighting, and the number of persons in the cities for whom night is becoming the time of labor has greatly increased
  ! It is still true. and probably always be. that the night worker is out Of adjust ment with this kind in many ways. In the great cities the problem Is one of large concern. and Mayor Mitchell of New York has appointed committee to in- qrire Into the needs of tue night workers. Among them even the feasibility of pro- viding amusement for them in the early morning, after their work is done.
 This is a somewhat startling proposal. even for those who work at night, for many of them are quite content to seek their beds with the dawn and trust to Providence to provide them with enter- tajnment at more reasonable hours. But 1t fs an illuminating commentary on tho compiexity of modern life, and especially on tenency in a city life that demands attention. It is interesting to conjure what our great-grandfathers would have said if 1t had been proposed in their day to open the theaters at { to s6 o'clock in the morning for the amusement of con- giderable clement Of the population.

 should pay dues to the county treasury so that the work may be extended in tneir county without requiring the coun- " president to pay her expenses in or- eanizlng new associations. Each local or sahlzation should come to feel the obliga- ton of paying it's own way and the duty or cooperation with others in rendering us county organization self-supporting. Arousing this sense of responsibility is Just as much part of school improve house.
 Three qualities are necessary in a county president, patience, perseverance ana raith-faith in the ultimate victory or the movement because 1t is good and because it is needed, perseverance that VIII enable one to go over the same field again and again, and patience that one may await the gradual process of nor nal and healthy growth.

MRS. THOMAS n. HAM.

Charlotte A. Scudder, was born
Oct. 25, 1849, in Equinunk, Wayne
County, Penn. the daughter of Isaah
Scudder and Margaret Hadsel. The
family were of Quaker decent.
She was graduated from the
female seminary of Great Bend,
Penn, and Jan. II, 1869, was married
to Thos. F. Ham, at Bethany, Penn.
Soon after the birth of their oldest
child, in 1871, they came to Wauseon
where the remainder of her life was
spent. Her life has been practically
co-incident with the growth of Wau-
seon, from a little hamlet, to a pros
porous modern town.
Five children were born to them:
Thos. ]. of Clyde, Ohio; Frank Scud-
der Fredrick Rockwell, who died in
infancy, Harold Hadsell of Hillsbor-
ough, Wisconsin, and Mary Alice
Wilson of Toledo, Ohio. Eleven
grandchildren were born to them,
two brothers and two sisters are still
living.
Mrs. Ham was charter member
of the Ladies of the Maccabees, the
Woman's Club, and the Daughters
of the American Revolution, serving
as Regent of the latter during the
years 1910 and 1911.
In early life she joined the Congre-
gational church, with which sha has
always and faithfully affiliated.
Three years ago last May the hand
of affliction was laid upon her heavi-
ly, since which she bore with Chris.

II La
s SION SCHOOLS
Announcement has been made at
Columbus that forty-five one-week
Agricultural Extension Schools will
be held .thruout Ohio during the COM
ing winter. AS heretofore. the speak
ers in these schools will be instruc-
tors from the College of Agriculture
The location of these schools has
been approved by the Agricultural
Commission and the Trustees of the
Ohio State University. The schedul-
ing of Extension Schools for next
winter marks the complete operation
of the Cunningham Agricultural
Commission law which nominally
went into effect nearly a year ago.
The entire state will be covered
with Extension Schools and Farm
ers', Institutes but in no case will
both kinds of meetings be held in
the same town. This arrangement
is made in order to give fair distri-
button of all the help rendered by. the
state in holding agricultural meet
ings. BY this plan many counties
have five Institutes and an Extension
School which makes an agricultural
meeting at some time during the
winter in six different towns. Next
year the Extension School will be
moved to one of the towns which ask
ed for it and which this year has an
institute. The one which has the Ex-
tension school this year will then get
its Institute back. Under the new ar
rangement more one-week meetings
will be held and town can get an
Extension School every four or five
years. The local Institute organiza-
tion will manage the Extension
School when it takes the place of an
Institute.

COUNCIL MEETING

Council met in regular session last
Mondy evening with Mayor Hoy and
Councilmen Ives and Dimke absent,
President Of Council C. H. Jordan
presided, routine business transacted
and claim ordinance including a par
tial payment on the Hickory street
improvement passed. Protests
against the fast bicycle riding on OF
tokee street sidewalks have been
lodged with the council. There is an
ordinance against riding bicycles on
the sidewalks on the statute book of
the village and those who do SO are
violating that ordinance.
This has been held to apply only
on paved streets, but there is grave
danger both to the riders and to 9TH
er persons on the sidewalks from
fast riding and those who find the un-
paved streets unfit for riding should
ride carefully on the sidewalks and
avoid trouble;a least that is what
the council thinks about the matter
Traffic regulations on the business
streets were discussed and the mar
shall was authorized to have traffic
rules published and placed in the
hands of auto and motorcycle owners
and drivers.
The new walk around the City Hall
is1e-e and does credit to the village
and to the superintendent of its
building, Commissioner Cantleberry.

not harsh nor clamorous, but seem
ingly SO fttingly recompensive of the
storms of recent years, it reached her
ear, as steals the soothing zephyrs of
summer evening 'crost the valley

as one stricken, but so peacefully, so
gently, that the slumber 'twixt here

She fell asleep at nightfall, and
when the sun-god of the morning had

iridescent splendor of new days
golden glories, she too oped her eyes
upon the scenes of the more glorious
new but endless day, Eternity; and
knew, as only one so previously we'd

in silence,
Have passed beyond our sight for
ever more,
Across the voiceless sea, whose lap

No foot prints leave of those who

mooring,
And drifting with the ebbing tide

But they have only passed beyond the
shadows,
Into the sunlight of an endless day."
