He Never Was a Boy

One day this summer as a group Of us were paddling up the river near our summer home, we came upon a crowd of boys swimming.
 At the sight of the canoe they cried out in delight and made for us, their white backs gleaming in the sun shine.
 As they flopped about us, racing with the canoe. awkwardly attempting difficult speed strokes, and in general showing off, one came too close and sent a shower of water into the boat. It drenched one of our number. who was beautifully clad in white trousers.
 He Couldn't Get Over It.
 The other boys laughed and the Toy who had done the mischief dove under water in mock terror. The man with the white trousers looked first taken aback. then angry. One could understand that. It Is not par ticularly pleasant to be drenched. Rut the third change, which should have been to amusement (rueful per haps). did not come. Instead he re- mained disgruntled throughout the trip and kept emitting grunts of dis gust and comments such as: That boy ought to be tanned!" They ought rot to let him bathe in the river; they're a public nuisance" etc, etc.
 Finally he evoked protest from the other masculine members of the party. "Oh, come on, Jeff. forget about it. Your trousers are all dry"
 "It isn't that" said he with dig nifty; tits because I hate to see boys always up to mischief"
 '.In other words you hate to sec

 Instead of having sympathy for a stage of development through which they once passed, they are irritated and antagonized by all its manifesto = tions.
 To me it is a particularly incom- prehensible frame of mind. becauses it is one of the griefs of my life that I never have been and never shall be a small boy. It seems to me that there is no other age or condition that gets so much solid satisfaction out of life. If there is such a thing es reincarnation. l hope next time I shall have a chance to be a small boy. I don't care so much to be a man. r wouldn't mind being a woman after I grew up, but oh, to be a small boy from the age of seven to fourteen or fifteen, with his freedom, his energy, his mischievousness, his freckles, his selfish-consciouness and his un- equalled capacity for having a stirring. good time all the time!
 Of course I am not defending every thing the small boy does. realize that the average small boy has an tbysmal lack Of respect for other peoples property and rights and a fearful tendency to turn his energies into dangerous channels.

The number reported in November

MICHIGAN TEACHERS

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Dec. s.
The annual report Of the state SUI
perintendent of public instruction for
the pest year shows that Michigan
now has better schools and better
teachers than ever before. More
than 500 rural and village schools
were inspected during the year and
166 rural schools were awarded
standard school plates There were
4 Z county nOrmals in operation, and
from these were graduated co.
teachers 10 teach in the rural
schools. Nearly 5000 professionally
trained teachers were added 10 the
teaching force OF the state.
Less than one per cent OF the dis
tricts last year forfeited their pri-
mary money. Districts which for
merly stored up their primary money
are now using il for tuition and bet
ter salaries. or are converting one
room schools into two rooms. provid-
ing fewer pupils per teacher and
better school conditions.
One-fourth OF the cities and towns
in the state have special classes for
delinquent. backward. deficient and
late-entering vpils. but only three
per cent report special classes for
the exceptionally bright pupils.
Open-air schools and rooms for the
tubercular and anaemic children are
in operation. and two-thirds OF the
schools report manual training and
domestic science as included in their
courses OF study.

WAR IS THE CAUSE
NOT THE CONSUMERS
So Says Peter J. Kruger, Rev.
enue Collector in Discuss
ing Increase.

= INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 3.-Peter
]. kruger. collector of internal rev.
enue, sixth district, is dissatisfied
with the statistics recently issued by
the government regarding the in
creased tax payments of distilleries
in Indiana. Mr.. Kruger does not
dispute the authenticity of the re-
port but suggests that it would be
easily misconstrued unless the public
was informed of actual conditions.
The report shows that a surpris-
ing increase in the collections Of tax
or spirits manufactured in Indiana
is noted and it is Mr.. Kruyer's con-
tentiOn that people may believe the
increase is due to increased con-
sumpti n on the part of Indiana
dealers or private concerns. His ex-
planauon is, that the increase is due
directly TO the enormous use of
spirits in the manufacture of powder
and other explosives, the increase
being caused by the European war.
Demand Enormous.
Mr.. Kruger explains that high
proof or alcoholic spirits. Of 100
proctor less. are taxed at S11O a
gallon by the government, but when
high proof spirits run 19O, the gov
eminent realizes a tax of approx
Elately 50. Inasmuch as ii requires
Sc gallons of high proof spirits TO
manufacture the explosive for one
of the big shells now being used by
the European warning factions, the
demand for the raw spirits is enor-
nous.
Spirits are now being shipped out
Of Indiana to eastern powder fac
tories in whole trainloads of tanks
such as are used in the transporta-
ton Of OIL These tanks have an av-
erage capacity of 1900 gallons, and
the trains average 20 cars each.
Hence il will be seen that in a single
shipment the government will real
lie $4,000
Reports from DistiIIeries.
In monthly reports received by
Mr.. Kruger today from the distil-
leries in his territory, the increased
output Of high-proof spirits is no.
ticeable. In one instance the daily
mash of rye and corn formerly aver
aged 5000 bushels of grain, but at
present the same distillery is using
more than 1000 bushels daily.
In a report submitted by one dis
tillery for the month of Novemb Der it
is seen that one man employed as a
gauger gagged more than 100000
gallons of spirits in that month, and
when it is known that the same dis
tillery employs seven gaugers, some
idea of the enormous capacity Of the
/ plant may be gained.
In Mr.. Kruyer's district are the
! distilleries at Luxembourg and
| Hammond. while in the seventh dis
I trict which comprises the southern
/ part of the state. the distilleries are
I at Nincennes, Evansville and Terre
/ Haute.

ALL, TIME" HEALTH
OFFICERS ARE WANTED
DR.. Hurry FavOrS System Now
in Use in Some East
'ern States.

INDIANAPOLIS. Dec 3. - The
cath annual report of the Indiana
state board of health was given to
Gov. Ralston today by DR.. John y.
Hurry. state health commissioner. In
il the recommendation that the leg
islature pass an "all-time" health
officer law. is paramount
1--WE should have fewer health Of
hcers and better pay" the report
said. The state board Of health
believes the all-time health officer
should be adopted. This system al
ready is i'm force in New York, Mas
sachusetts. Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey. North Carolina, Maryland and
Wisconsin"
The board then sets out that the
bill introduced in the last general
assembly, which produced such a
right from health officers and their
friends in the larger towns of the
state. was aimed to correct the pres
ent evils of the health police system
in Indiana In relation TO this fight,
the report said:
"One county health commission
CT. whose fee for services amounted
10 over $1,000 and who gave only
27 days service. according to his
own books. for the amount received,
was strong in opposition to the bill.
The bill shall be presented to the
next legislature and those who be-
l:eve il true economy and efficiency
of service TO the state should give
i. their hearty support"
Referring TO better health condi-
tons in Indiana, the report said:
I'VE can say for the year ending
Sept. so. we have had a few cpl
denies and outbreaks of the social
ed epidemic diseases, but really
nothing serious. Smallpox is still re-
ported from n number of counties
each month but it's mortality is so
low as TO make this One-time feared
disease negligible when compared to
other diseases. Whoopi1g cough
is far more destructive in these days
than smallpox. yet it is TO be feared
more on account of its manning eff
fects than because of the mortality
that attends il.
Public health day. held oct, 1, in
accordance with law and the proc
lamation of the chief executive, was
great success. The reports show
that fully GO per cent of the cities
and towns and schools observed the
day In indianapolis the day was a
very great success. The board
continues to receive numerous let
I tiers relating to personal. dOniciliary
and public hygiene. and the conclu-
/ sion is that the people are becoming
more and more interested in the i'm
I pOrtant matter of health preserva-
/ ton. our vital statistics show, as in
the previous 10 years. a slight de-
crease in the death rates from con-
I sumption, pneumonia, typhoid fever,
and diphtheria, but at the same
( time show a slight increase in de-
cenerative diseases"
