 BRITISH TEACHERS
Lord Haldane Wants Them to Be Ready for Prob

London. August 2o.-(Correspondence of the Associated s)-Already it is time for the schools of Great Britain to be- gin the work of reconstruction which must necessarily occupy the whole at- tention of the European world Tor gen eration after the close of the war. writes Lord Haldane in an appeal to the school teachers of the country. published in the current issue of the Teachers World. He writes:
 q appeal to teachers to consider deep ly the problems of the present and the future, seeking to know how best they may help their country in the period or stress which will follow the declaration of peace.
 'The proper training of the body Is no less important than the equipment of mental power.

Teachers can prepare the way by train ing their pupils in a right regard for knowledge and by helping to set be- fore the public well ordered and sound lv based plan of education, simple in its outlines and arresting In its appeal.

 To "One of the Long Island Roose-
 velts" who asks for a brief sketch of
 the family to which Colonel Roosevelt belongs"
 Roosevelt is a name derived from
 Hoseveldt--a Dutch word meaning the
 field, or veldt of roses
 Another form of the name was Ros-
 endahl, valley of roses.
 As a family name, 1t is traced to Po-
 land, where in the twelfth century 1t
 was assumed by family who had
 rose for armorial bearing, perhaps be-
 cause they lived in valley or field of roses They were called Rosenveldt, or Van RoseveIdt Other variations are Rosawelt, Rosenvelt, Roswell, Rose- welt, Roosenvelt, Roosevelt. The prefix Van, so common in early records, was dropped by the beginning of the eight eenth century.
 The common ancestor was klaas, or Ciaess Martenzen. Van Rosenvelt of Holland, who arrived in New Nether- lands, or New York in 1649. with his wife, Janettie Samuels Thomas. The coat of arms of President Roose welt is argent on a mount vert. rose bush with three roses in full bloom proper.

To. T. J. M who asks whether the Osborn family has a coat of arms and, If so. how it is blazoned
 The arms of the Osborns are blaz- oned: Argent a bend between two lions rampant sable. The crest is a lions head proper, ducally crowned or. The motto is: "Quantum in rebus inane."
 This is the armorial bearing of the Osborns of the Chicksand Priory, Shef- field, England and, of course, unless 1t can be proved by the American branch of Connecticut Osborns that the Rich- ard who came to this country In 1634 in the ship Hopewell was the Richard, son of Thomas. son of Sir John Os- born. knight, there Is no very good reason why the Connecticut Osborns should bear these arms.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS
By FRANCES CowLEs. THE MORTON FAMILY

Copyright, 1915, by the Mcclure News
 paper Syndicate)
 The English Mortons were very strong and influential Roman Catholics. In fact the Cardinal John Morton, who was chan cellor of King Henry VIII, and in whose house Sir Thomas More began his career as a page, was a scion of this family Tor some reason unknown to us. George, who founded the family in America, was Puritan of the stanchest sort.
 George Morton lived in Austerfeld Yorkshire the home of Governor Brad ford, and in 1902 he was member of the party of Pilgrim Fathers who found shell ter in Leyden, Holland. The first docu- mentary record of this George is the rec ord of his marriage, which took place in Holland in the summer of 1912. It runs thus: George Morton, merchant, from York, in England, accompanied by Thom- as Morton, his brother, and Roger Will son, his acquaintance, with Juliana Car penter maid from Bath, in England, &C., companied by Alexander Carpenter, her father, and Alice Carpenter, her sister and Anne Robinson, her acquaintance.
 In the latter part of July, 1923, Morton came to this country on board the snip Anne, William Pierce master. He was one of the founders of the colony Of Ply mouth. His wife survived him and mai- ried Ma anasseh Kempton.
 George Morton's children, all Of whom save the last were born in Leyden, were as follows: Nathaniel, Patience, John Faunce, John, Sarah and Ephriam, who was born in 1923, on the passage from I.eyden, Holland, to America.
 The descent of Levi P. Morton Is traced through the second son, the Hon. John Morton, and his second wife, Mary Ring. His son, Capt Ebe- 1ezer, born at Plymouth in 1896, mar ried Mercy Foster and they had Ebe- nezer, who married Mrs Sarah Cobbs. whose son Levy-Livy. as 1t was spelled in the old documents-married Hannah Daily, and became the father of the Rev. Daniel Olim Morton. He was Levi Parsons Morton, vice presi- dent in McKinley's first administra- ton.
 The name Morton is derived in all cases, as in the case of the Yorkshire Mortons, from the locality of the same name. As there are places called Mor- ton in Derby, Lincoln, York, Warwick, Durham, Norfolk, Hereford and North | ampton, there may be many different families who bear the name.
 The arms of the Mortons are blaz- oned: Quarterly gules and ermine In | the dexter chief and sinister base each | a goats head erased argent attired or | The crest Is a goats head argent at- | tired or.

(From a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, May 15-(Special)--A COM

the Northwestern railroad was referred
this morning to Labor Commissioner "a
NJ. Coffey. The letter is from a man in

received damages of 81 for being bitten
by bug. Another received 1913 for be-
ing hurt while lifting a box OF caggabes.
Another got a small amount for having

Work Ali Time in Wood River.
A complaint came in this morning from

merchants Of that town had given notice
that from now on they would keep their
stores open every evening until o'clock
and ON Wednesday and Saturday nights
would run to the limit, which usually Is
II to u O'Clock. The complainant de-
sired to kno wifi there was any state law
which governed the working hours of
clerks in a store. Mr.. Coffey will look
the matter up and let the applicant for
information know. The late Legislature
lifted the law regarding the hours of fe-
male labor in towns OF less than 5000
inhabitants, so that women in town the
