Savinu Mineral Waste.

Up till quite recent times the loss
of tin at the Welsh mines has been
nearly ten per cont OF the total amount
of the metal mined. Now. by the use
of electrical apparatus, the loss has
been lowered to one per cent. This is
a fair sample of the reform DOW GO

alizes the weight of this problem
In addition to these problems, with
which every other teacher must deal
to greater or less extent, the coun-
;ry school teacher in this day of pro-
sress is expected to be community
worker. The teacher must be a close
student OF school work and the needs
of the school, and in addition to that
the country teacher must study how
enable the school to contribute to
he social needs Of the community.
rhis requires tact and resourceful-
hess as much so as do the ordinary
school activities. 1t is manifest
therefore. that whatever the nature
of the problems with which the
acher In an organized school sys-
'em must deal, they are small as
compared with those con fronting the

TRAINED TEACHERS
IN RURAL SCHOOLS
Prof. Gunter Writes First of Sc.
ries of Articles on Country
School Problems.
NEED OF CONSOLIDATION
One-Teacher School Suffers Most
In Lack of Well Prepared
Teachers.

Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Sept. 19.-prof
Leuco Gunter, state supervisor of
rural schools, has prepared the fol-
lowing article on "The Need of
Teachers" as the first of a series of
articles on Country School Prob
lems." From his grasp of the situa-
tion Mr.. Gunter can speak with
knowledge and what he has to saw
should prove of great value. In his
article Mr.. Gunter says:
One Of the greatest needs of coun-
try schools today is teachers of schol-
arship and training that will enable
them to meet the problems of the
rural school. For many years our
school officers have been concerned
largely with securing satisfactory
equipment and a school term of suf-
ficient length to do successful work.
The providing Of these is yet prob.
lem In great many places, but we
have reached the time when in a few
counties Of the state the chief con-
Germ Of the county superintendent of
education is the securing of efficient
class roof instruction. One county
superintendent was heard to remark
the past session that the problem in
mis- county was to secure teachers
who knew the work and were able
to do the work, that where schools
were efficient he experienced no diff
Guilty in influencing the people either
to vote taxes to increase the school
term or the teachers salaries, or to
vote bonds for providing the right
Kind of physical accommodations
RURAL GRADED SCHOOLS.
The rapid growth of the rural
Graded school in the past few years
has made the securing OF capable
teachers for country schools more
necessary. Under the influence of the
rural graded school law 400 rural
graded schools were in operation the
past year. For the most part these
are consolidated schools in new and
commodious buildings. The school
officers In the communities where
such schools are organized usually
have vision of the school as the So
cial center. Where these houses have
been erected and the schools have
been started, If the right kind of prin-
cipal for the school is not secured
the people have sense Of failure In
their effort to provide for the educa-
t!onal needs Of the community. Not
only are pricinpals needed for these
schools, but assistants with a vision
of rural school work are in great de-
mand.
In addition to these 400 rural
graded schools there were last year
over 1900 one-teacher schools.
These, OF course, are distinctly rural
schools and present the most difficult
problems Of school administration.
Many OF these one-teacher schools
ought to be consolidated into the
rural graded school. Many others
of these are necessary in their com
munities and need to be properly
housed and equipped. These schools
more than any other suffer for lack
or teachers who are prepared in
scholarship and in spirit to do rural
school work.

SPEED OF BULLETS.
ingenious Method For Measuring lt
 Used by the Experts.

Used py the Experts
 The method used by experts to as certain the velocity of a pr"jcctiIe or bullet at the moment it leaves the mug Ele of the weapon is as follows;
 There Is a drumlike cylinder of fixed diameter and of sufficiently stiff pa- per to stand being rapidly revoyed on a spindle. As the cylinder is of small circumference 1t Is necessary that the speed approach 2,OO0 revolutions a minute. These revolutions are pro duced by electric power, and the count is made by an exact mechanical regis ter.
 The gun Is placed securely Nt the re- quired distance from the drum and is sighted directly at the center of the cyl finder, which Is spinning at so many rods-even miles-a minute, as lis cir conference determines. With the drums speed adjusted, an electric cur rent discharges the weapon, the bullet striking the center of the drum ns measured from top to bottom.
 It must be borne in mind that with the drum stationary tue bullet would pass directly through 1t Ou line of its diameter, coming out on thc other side, with scarcely q shade of impeachment" With the drums periphery whtrliug at the rate of 2,OOO revolutions q minute and It's diameter only a fraction more than a foot, this would mean a rate of 2,0OO yards in sixty seconds. Thus in the fraction of a second necessary for the bullet to enter one side Of the paper drum, cross 1t and pass out ut the other side the opposite side of the drum would show a considerable deviation from an exact diameter of line of pas sage.
 It is thIs space of dehectiou, shown inside the farther rim of the drum that Is used for computing the velocity of the missile. The speed of the cylinder may be computed to tue ten-thousaudth part of a second If necessary, and the llneal distance run in that time may be charted in perpendicular lines on the inner side of the paper. At whatever line the bullet penetrateS outward 1t registers Its time in crossing tue diam- eter of the cylinder. If 1t has required the ten-thOuSandth rart of d second for the bullet to proceed one foot from it's muzzle, velocity in yards or miles may be computed by anybody.-pcarson's Weekly.

Diet and Literary Labor.

The relation between feeding ana literary labor was carefully invesdgat ed some years ago by an eminent French publicist, NJ. Claude Berton. Taking Zola as a typical case, M. Der ton found that his literary method va- ried in the ratio of his appetite. In his heavy eating period he produced some of his grossest novels. On the advice of doctor he cut down hls provendcr, and the result was "I.ourdcs." NJ. Berton's final deduc- ton was that light diet is best for the writer of light literature. but that the philosopher or historian needs heavy food and plenty of 1t to counteract the strain upon his brain.-London Stand ard.

NITROGEN FROM LEGUME

Soy beans and COW peas should not
the northern states, and the growth
of the plants is not rapid during that
month. No one can say accurately
how much nitrogen would be stored
in the small and immature plants
when plOwed down in July-probably
from 80 to so pounds. These two
plants are quite similar in their pow
er To provide nitrogen in a climate
equally adapted TO both, but in Penn
SylVania the SOY bean is superior. The
size of the nOdules on the roots of the
soy bean would indicate that it has
greater power than the COW pea in re-
moving nitrogen from the air.
A good crop of soy beans in the
north may contain 125 pounds of nj
trogen, and larger amounts have been
obtained in some cases. The COW pea
in a warmer latitude does equally well.
1t should be borne in mind that con-
siderable portion of this nitrogen may
not have come from the air and. there
fore, can not be treated as an addition
to the soils supply
Sweet clover may be seeded earlier
in the spring, but / have no data re-
garding the nitrogen content in the
middle of the first summer. II is a
safe assumption that this content
would be considerably greater than in
the case of the first two legumes men
toned, which should not be seeded I'M
til the first of June. When sweet
clover is permitted TO mature its value
in nitrogen approxim ltes that of al
falfa that has stood the same length
of time.
The second crop of alfalfa is usually
lighter than the first, and may con-
tain so pounds of nitrogen. Forty
per cent of the nitrogen in an alfalfa
plant is in the roots when the plant
comes to its first period of blossom
ing. When a sod has stood three
years there is a greater percentage in
the roots and a large accumulation in
the form of dead organic matter in
the soil. Three hundred pounds is a
conservative estimate of the amount
of nitrogen in live and dead material
produced by the alfalfa.
The length of time that the alfalfa
will be available depends upon the
maturity of the organic matter. The
immature beans and sweet clover will
| yield up practically all Of their nitro
gen within the year In the case Of
matured legumes. and especially old
alfalfa plants, complete decay Will re-
quire several years. much depending
upon soil conditOns.-F'rom Country

Cooperation Great Aid.
Cooperation on the part of rural
communities can do as much TO alter
these conditions as it can TO increase
the average cash income. The com

charge should. therefore, be regarded
as quite as important as those which
deal with business questions. and they
should receive the same support from
the entire community which they are
endeavorine To benefit. The result Will
be a community spirit which, in its
way. is capable OF producing as val
