MOOSE.

On Sunday afternoon New London
lodge will initiate large class, and
Norwich lodge has been invited A
large delegation is expected to attend
and the Moose will leave on the 12.4S
car.
On September LIST the special dis
pensation to initiate for SIS went into
effect. 1t is very essential that the
membership be increased in order to
successfully run the financial end of

Secretary F. B. Hazard has received
a copy of the second annual report of
the governors of Mooseheart, in which
the governors state that they feel well
satisfied with the results attained in
the past year. The generous support
Of the order in the year 1914-15 yielded
about $50. 900 more than in 1913-14.
The large investment in Mooseheart
is now worth considerably more than
the original cost of land, buildings and
improvements.
In their report the Mooseheart gov

reason for our inability to care for all

the fact that the income of the gov
ernors has not been sufficient to build
enough dormitories to care for these
cases. The governors at their regular
monthly meetings have noted with
both pride and pleasure the continual
development and Improvement of
Mooseheart ideals. We. are giving the
boys and girls the opportunity to be-
come useful men and women and help
full citizens in all the communities to
which they will return. We shall to

DON'T BLAME THE BAKERS!

Some of the bakers of Harrisburg have advanced
the price of bread,-ether by making the loaf
smaller or by adding cent to the cost of loaf
Others have made change either in the cost or
the size of the loaf
The first class, it is assumed, includes only those
bakers whose supplies of flour-bought before the
recent abnormal advance in the price of wheat
began-haye become exhausted and who are now
compelledlto pay, roughly, 30 per cent. more for
their flour than before The second class are those
bakers who still have flour bought at the old price
and who therefore have not yet had to advance
the cost of their bread in order to escape financial
loss in producing it for the public.
There may be few bakers in this city who are
taking advantage of the public by putting up the
price of their bread when they still have supplies
of flour bought at the old price but we doubt if
there are any SUCH We believe the bakers of Har-
rsburg and vicinity playing fair with their
customers.
Bakers whose floup, has become exhausted and
who have to pay half again as much for it as
they used to pay, not gouging their customers
when they reduce the weight of their loaves or in
the, cost of them. Bakers who still have
flour bought at price which permits them to make
fair profit without making any kind of an advance
III tHe cOSI OF Cnelf l0aVeS also are dealing fairly
with their customers Moreover the latter will be
justified in advancing the price when their present
stocks of flour out if by that time the price of
flour is as high it is to-day.
If there any local bakers who still have flour
bought at the low rate and who are putting up the
price of their loaves notwithstanding that fact.
they. and they only the ones who are deserving
of public censure.
The fact is that such increases in the price of
bread as have taken place in this community can
not be blamed on the bakers taking them as class.
The blame, if it be placed at ALL must be- put
on the shoulders of spectators in wheat who there
is reason to believe, have taken advantage of the
increased demand for the grain, growing out of
the European war, to manipulate the price and
raise it beyond the figure that it might reasonably
be expected to reach under the economic law of
supply and demand.
The federal government is engaged in max
ing vigorous investigation to learn if spectators
are actually boosting the wheat price to a point
beyond that justified by the demand from abroad.
which admittedly is abnormal, and the government
may reasonably be expected to place the blame
where it belongs.
The star-independent. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1904-1917, 1915-02-10

of the students have been causing the faculty an
noyance, and the decision has been. reached that
there is something wrsng with the training of the
men in simple branches that needs to be remeded.
Colleges and universities, of course, blame, the
high schools and academies for deficiencies in the
preparation of students the high schools pass the
responsibility ON to the grammar schools and the
shifting thus continues until it go farther.
There are, doubt, faults all along the line that
ought to be corrected, and the start that has been
made to better conditions offers some hope.
One educator has pointed out that although for
ordinary purposes school children, while they are
school children, more than 2,100 words, the
spelling books seek to convey instruction in about
$4,000. 1t is evident that time spent in the learn
ing of the useless words could be much better en-
ployed in the mastering of the really essential
ones
Words in common have been found to be the
words wrongly spelled in the eases of many stu
dents. Business men have complained, too, that
their stenographers and clerks have been unable
to spell properly the terms most frequently used in
business transactions.
That many college students who know how I'd
spell words do not know how to use them is con-
clusively demonstrated by specimens of themes
which are published from time to time, just as
they were submitted by the boys to the professors
in English The plan has been suggested to abolish
separate courses in English composition in colleges
and to pay more attention to the written work of
students in the other departments.
If the causes of students deficiencies in spelling
and composition are more carefully investigated,
remedies may soon be suggested and tried. 1t is
well that Harvard has directed attention to such
little details as imperfections in the writing of its
Students and favorable results are awaited
