Compulsory Education

When the Maryland legislature
next meets it will have the oppor-
tunity for doing what it failed to
do at the last session-enact a state
wide compulsory education law,
says the Baltimore American, in
commenting of this subject. The
curious lack of conformity of the
law upon school attendance con-
stitutes condition that is re-
proach to the state. The law of
1912 made school attendance COM
pulsory in Baltimore city, optional
in seventeen counties and speci-
fically exempted from its operations
in six counties. There is no indus
trial pretext that can be advanced
that should stand in the way of a
state wide school attendance law.
The chief asset of state for the
intelligence, the prosperity and the
peace of its people is education.
Grounding in this can be assured
only by law that makes compulsory
the utilization of the school advan-
tages by those-for whom they are
maintained at so great cost.
The facts as presented by the
Maryland Federation of Women's
Clubs in circular issued by them
should be conned by all citizens OF
the counties and the movement to
efface the disgrace of a large per.
centage of illiteracy should find
fullest support. In six counties
the average attendance was 1S, 706,
while the number of children out
of the school was 1896. Many
other facts are given in this in
teresting circular that should a.
rouse general demand for state
wide law for attendance upon the
public schools of Maryland.

Raising Fenceposts.

The increased densand for fencepostS
has induced some fei, seeing farmers to
raise them for sale as we'll as for their
own use. 1t takes time, of course, to
do this, yet a shorter period than most
persons suppose. A plantation of To-
Gusts can be brought to fence post size
In five years from seed. The seed are
first scalded with boiling water and
then after soaking overnight are SOW
ed an inch apart in rows two feet
apart. They are subsequently thinned
to stand four inches apart and are
mulched with straw during the first
year. As they increase in size they are
again thinned until they stand finally
eight feet apart. From time to time as
growth develops they are trimmed to
prevent their becoming top heavy, and
at the end of the fifth year they are
ready for the market. Each tree will
cut an average of three posts, and $50
trees are grown to the acre. In most
localities these will sell for from 20 to
35 cents each, netting the farmer no
less than $500, or $65 per acre per year.

Let Them Hunt For II.

A minister in local church known
for his absent mindedness by the mem
bers of his own family, but not to his
congregation, saved himself from COM
plete exposure at recent service by
his quick wit.
He had studied his sermon carefully,
but had neglected to make any nota-
tions Of the number Of the chapter and
verse from which the text was taken.
In the pulpit he announced the text
and then stopped short while the con-
gregation waited to hear from what
place in the Bible 1t was taken.
AS he noticed absence of notes to this
fact he quickly announced, "I'm going
to give you week to find from what
chapter and verse this phrase was
taken" So was exposure averted.-

They Are, Asserts a Critic, Both Ugly
and UnmusicaI.
''On the whole, owing partly to the
enormous proportion Of monosyllables,
partly to the prevalence Of sibilant and
dental sounds, the words of the Eng
lish language are Overwhelmingly ugly
and unmusical." AS proof of this as
sertion, Charles Leonard Moore ad-
duces in Incense and Iconoclasm" a
long list of commonly used names of
things that in our language are rather
bad than good.

pictorial, but 'tsea" is ignoble, "air" at
least questionable, sky weak and
thin. The clipped dissyllable "heaven"
is decidedly poor "Firmament," how
ever, is magnificent and paradise" fine.
Earth, 'sun," stars are three low,
plebeian symbols for the total splen-
dors Of the visible world.
Turn to the words describing mans
own person. Face" "eyes," "nose,"
mouth ''legs,' Mr.. Moore thinks
simple commodity of vile names. AS

his cave a, house" "Mansion" or

fine and gave Keats an excellent line
Upon the gold clouds metropolitan
but "city'' is affected and 'town" In
tolerable.
For the sound of most of our verbs
Mr.. Moore has a criticism as harsh,
and it is only our .adjectives that he
praises, and then cautiously. "Au-
gust" splendid, noble, gorgeous"
magnificent graceful "indomita-
ble'-these he thinks really patrician
among the vulgar rabble of our other
words.

Delaware Corn Crop.

Delaware is widely known for
her fruits and vegetables, yet these
are not the most important crops
of the State. Corn leads in value
all crops, with wheat second. The
annual corn crop is valued at 4,
500, 900 dollars; that of wheat at
1000, 900 dollars. The average
yield of corn per acre in Delaware
is only a little less than that of the
leading corn belt States in the Mid.
die West. The average yield per
acre of wheat is equal to that of
Illinois and Iowa. The average
price of grain on the farm in Della
ware is, for an average of ten years,
ten cents per bushel more than in
the Mississippi Valley. The posi-
'bilities for profitable grain produc
tion in Delaware are as good as in
the corn belt States. Last year
the largest yield per acre for ten
acre field in Indiana was ITO bush
els. One Delaware grower harvest
ed 1926 bushels from a ten acre
tract. One acre of this yielded 12S
bushels of corn. A yield of 100
bushels per acre has been made by
Delaware farmers more than a
dozen times during the past five
years.

A RabeIais Hoax.

Rabelais, being out of money, once
tricked the police into taking him from
Marseilles to Paris on charge of
treason. He made up some packages
Of brick dust and labeled them poison
for the royal family" The officers took
Rabelais 700 miles, only to be told at
the end of their journey that it was
April / and the affair was hoax. Of
course, as Rabelais was the privileged
wit of the royal family, he was for
given.
