Capt Main, of the Hesperian, made
the statement today that the vessel
had been torpedoed and that no
warning was given.
Major Maitland Kersey, manager
in-chief of the ocean services of the

the list of missing has reached
twelve passengers and perhaps one

added that all would have been

hap in launching one life boat in the
darkness.
When Capt Main landed in Queens
town he proceeded to the admiralty
office to make his report. There
landed with him thirteen officers
and twenty-five men who remained
with the liner to the last.
Two mine sweepers and two admi-
ralty tugs attempted to tow the
Hesperian to port, but the ship,
partly filled with water, was so un-
manageable and the sea was so heavy
that no progress could be made.

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT.

The most powerful agency in school
management is kindness. There is no
force on earth so potent as love. When
it has possession of the human heart
it is all pervading and overpowering,
and especially if brought to bear upon
sympathetic childhood and youth. The
teacher must rule by kindness, have
uniformity of good will, earnest SYM
pathy, and hearty generosity habitual-
ly exercised toward his pupils. The
teacher alone who loves his pupils has
power to gain their love and conf
dence, which should be their chief re-
lance in school management. An
affectionate pupil will confide in a
teachers judgement, respect his
authority and fear his displeasure. If
you show him by your personal at
tention and kindness that you are his
true friend, and that all your efforts
are designed to secure his best good,
and make him believe it, you hold him
as by the power OF enchantment, hav-
ing no need of physical force to keep
him in subsection. Hetis held by an
other and higher law, which induces
him to crafty your wishes and seek
the best good of the school. But this
kindness, which is an essential ele-
ment in every true system of govern
ment, is not, and cannot be, substi
tute for authority or an obstacle to
severity, when the good of the individ
ual or school demands it. The teach
er must cherish an abiding love for
his pupils, and that love is the inf1ic
ton of necessary punishment in the
management of public affairs.

REDUCE PUBLIC EXPENSES

There are $4,000 state laws too
many, each one creating offices to be
filled and salaries for taxpayers to
pay" My friend who makes that state
ment feels so strongly about it that
he says the only law he will ever ask
any legislature to enact will be to re-
woke some other law! A good many
of US feel pretty much the same way.
Instead of multiplying offices, why
not reduce their number and make
officeholders work as hard as you and
| do? The way to insure this is to
elect fewer lawyers; put more far
mers and business men into federal

We presume that many people think
the newspaper men are persistent
duns as they keep reiterating, "look
at the label on your paper" "move up
the date" "you are back on your sub
scription," "pay what you owe," "pay
up" "pay u.s." Now let farmer or
business man place himself in SINH
lar business position and see if he
would not do the same. Suppose the
farmer raises a crop of one thousand
bushels of wheat and his neighbor
should buy bushel, and the price
was two dollars or less, and the neigh
Dor says, Il will pay you the sum in
a few days." AS the farmer doesn't
want to be small in the matter of
small things he says, "all right" An
other comes in the same way until the
whole of the one thousand bushels are
gone out of the one thousand different
persons. No one purchaser concerns
himself about it, and, of course, that
could not help him any. He does not
realize that the farmer has frittered
away his crops of wheat in little dribs
and that he is seriously embarrassed
in his business because his debtors
treat it as small matter. But if all
would pay him promptly, which they
could do as well as not, it would
enable him to carry on his business
without difficulty. The above com
parison is too true of the difficulties
that newspaper man has to contend
with.

IN A GARDEN
By Charles NJ. Bregg.


Next to golf there are few things
in this life so calculated to awaken
the sleeping winter muscles as the
possession and cultivation of a sure
enough-honestr -goodness-ga garden, ev-
en- though it be but 10x12 affair.
Sages and poets in all ages have writ
ten jubilantly about contact with the
soil as a mental and physical reju-
venator, while the "back to the farm
movement is a modern slogan dear to
the hearts Of the land agents. You
get up with the birds and pick the
bugs off the tomato vines and snip the
weeds from between the bean vines
while the sunrise is painting Corot
lsn2scspes aecoa Che eastern skies.
There is a certain exhilaration in any
sort of intimacy with Nature. The
feel Of soil brings a sense Of kmship
that is health-giving. To watch green
things poke their tiny blades above
ground gives one sort of creator
feeling, as though the great forces of
earth and air and sunlight were your
servants and were working solely at
your behest. To long time "hat"
dweller a garden patch is ga thing Of
beauty and a joy forever" If you
don't believe it try one for yourself.
