THE TRUE TEAChER MI 81 be;
A LEADER,

The true teacher has the gift
gift of leadership-of general
ship. He has a personality which
| demands and commands the rt-
spect of all He is the comman-
der-in-chief Of the educational
forces-the forces Of progress in
his community, but withal in a
tactful, discerning manner.
He fully understands that, in
rural communities, the school
building is, and Of right ought to
be, the centre of social and lite
rary life and he makes it such by
organizing his people into civic
and school betterment clubs,
mothers clubs, agricultural So
cieties, etc, and he is prepared to
take a leading part in it all. He
manipulate and controls the en-
tire social life of the young peo-
pie, without seeming to do so, and
sees to it that all social intercourse
is Of high order. He is deeply
interested and a leader in all
movements which tend to better
the conditions Of living among
his people. Highways and neigh
borhood roads, running water in
the homes, screens against flies,
grassy lawns, flowers and shrub
berry in the yards, find in him an
earnest advocate in season and
out of season. He encourages his
boys and girls to join the corn
clubs and canning clubs. He
takes a great interest in agricul-
ture, stock raising gardening and
fruit growing and everything that
concerns his people. 1t goes
without saying that he is church !
and Sunday school man and teach
es religion and morality by pre-
cept and example.
The true teacher always pur-
Sues a constructive policy-he is a
master builder, and leaves be-
hind him a chain Of new build
ings, new furnishings laboratory
equipment and libraries.-Prof.

DEMAND FOR HOMES
IN BRONX BOROUGH
Many New Houses in Sec
tions To Be in Dual
Subway System.
BRISK DAYS AT
FORDHAM HEIGHTS
Davies Says Present Situation
Indicates Busy Fall
Season.

Large numbers Of property owners
in The Bronx, especially landlords Of
flats and apartment houses, are trying
to determine how large will be the de-
mand for Bronx fats and apartments
The coming fall. There are many sec
tions Of The Bronx which will be much
benefited by the building OF the dual
subway system, and in the promising
zones large speculative builders have
been very busy since the new year.
Taken the extent of the new flats
and apartments ia those centres as a
criterion Of the drift Of population,
these sections are bound, it is thought,
to report an usual demand for apart
ment suites The Fordham Heights re-
zion is one Of these centres, and a
more desirable place for an apartment
home in the northerly borough would
be hard to find.
It was announced early this year
that there was waiting list for rooms
in many Of the new houses erected IN
the westerly division of The Bronx,
] az ~ WI 1 10 NANf III HilN' -

ported that he had rented from the

Of new apartment houses on the Grand
Boulevard and Concourse under his
agency. Most satisfactory reports
early in the year as 10 prospective
rental conditions were also received
from some Of the easterly districts ~
the borough, namely. from the South

TO BUILD PROPOSED
line TO DANBURY
White Plains SOutherly
Terminus Of Westminster
& Northern Project.
ROUTE A SPUR TO
N. Y, W. & B. SYSTEM
Will Carry Coal Cars Directly
to Tidewater at Har-
lem River.

II has been learned from a reliable
source that during the coming fall
work will be started in connection with
the construction Of the Westchester a.
Northern Railroad Company's electric
system from White Plains 10 Danbury,
Conn, and which road will be a con-
tinuation Of the New York. Westches-
ter & Boston Railroad Company's line.
The map of the route has been ap-
proved and the supreme Court has
granted an order allowing the company
to build overhead crossings over the
different highways in the Westchester
towns through which the road will be
built
In the last several months, IL IS said,
real estate appraisers have been going
over land which the company intend 5
10 either buy or condemn and that
more than half the right Of way has
been secured or options obtained for
the same.
The new road will connect with the
Central New England az Danbury, so
that coal cars can pass over the new
road and the Westchester & Boston di-
rectly TO tidewater az the Harlem River.
II is reported that the new line will
pass close 20 the Danbury FATE
Grounds, which is visited by many
thousands in the fall, and it is expected
that road will get a big business from
this source.
According 10 the rumors, IL will be
necessary to build a part Of the road
this year or certain rights under the
franchise will be forfeited.

ton of a duct line in 44th st. in connec-
ton with the greensboro subway and
the other was for the supply of ballast
for use in the construction of various
lines Of the dual system.
The stations on the Astoria line are
located az Beebe ay., Washington av,
Broadway, Grand ay., Hoyt ay. .eX-
press and Ditmars ay. This line is

1914, Declared UnCOn-
stitutional by Court.
NASSAU OWNERS IN
SIMILAR PREDICAMENT
Illegal for Town Collectors to
Receive Moneys of the
Village.

The decision of the Court of Appeals
that the Westchester County tax act is
invalid is causing considerable con-
fusion throughout the different West
chester towns. as the different villages
have no tax collectors and IL IS claimed
that IL is illegal for the town collectors
10 make collections IN the villages. Il
is believed that as a result of the tax
tangle titles may be held up and long
legal battles may result should the
town collectors decide 70 invade the
villages.
The Westchester and Bronx Title
Company. of White Plains. has lust
issued the following announcement;
Under date of July ;. 1918, the
County Attorney Of Westminster
County advised the Supervisors Of the
various towns m written opinion
that the new Westchester County tax
act was valid and advised the collec-
ton Of school district taxes by the
town receivers. This company IS IN
formed that the various school DIS
tricts are preparing TO act accordingly
and will have the taxes collected By
these receivers.
However. the Court of Appeals has
decided IN the case OF tAe eup4e Vs.
the Village of Pelham. 2l5 y. Y. 374.
that the Westchester County tax act.
Chapter 80. Laws OF 1914. was uncon-
stitutiona in so far as it attempted 20
take away from the villages OF the
county their constitutional right TO
levy and collect their own taxes.
Furthermore. Justice Keogh sitting
AZ Special Term in this county, de-
clded during the latter part Of July.
1918. in the case Of Barnes against
Sattler. that the above decision OF the
Court Of Appeals defeated the whole
purpose of the Westchester County tax
act. and he decided squarely IN the
same case that there Is no such once
as receiver Of taxes under the West
chester County tax act above referred
20. because there is no such act IN
legal existence. This company is re-
Uably informed that Justice JaycoX.

In this connection il is interesting to

extensive at this time. Real estate
brokers and lumber dealers assert that
there is an unusual amount Of house
construction there. Titles TO Baldwin
Harbor real estate are passing almost
daily and several houses recently were
sold on the plans.
"The principal cause of this real es-
tate and building movement is the fact
that Baldwin Harbor has the first deep
water going east on the south shore
of Nassau County" says well known
real estate man. "Only shallow creeks
serve East Rockaway and Oceanslde,
