JOBLESS TEACHERS
GET POSITIONS WHEN
NEW SCHOOLS START
Child Labor Law Is Boon to
Normal School Graduates
Who Have Waited
Long
SALARIES $1,000 A YEAR

Positions for 140 teachers at average
salaries of $1,000 year will be provided
through the establishment of continue
tion classes on January 1. The enforce
ment of the new child labor law will
come as a boon to graduates of the Phil
adelphia Normal School, who for many
months have been unable to obtain per-
manent employment with the schools.
Although 1t is probable that the new In
structorships will be given to experienced
teachers only, the appointment of the
latter to these positions Will leave va
cancies in the elementary grades to be
filled by younger women The organiza-
ton of the schools for child laborers will
also create nine new Jobs in the Bureau
of Compulsory Education. They will be
for attendance officers and attendance
supervisors at $500 and Sl2O0.
Two physicians will be appointed as
additional medical inspectors at $1,000
u year, because of the increase in the
number Of children who will be cared for
by the Board of Education under the new
law. They will he doctors who have pri-
vatc practices, but who can devote n part
of their time to the public schools. An
extra force of clerks will also be ap
pointed when the law becomes effective.
The organization OF the new classes will
cost the Board of Education S270,5l0 for
the year 1916, according to report pre-
pared by Louis Nusbaum, associate super
intcndent of schools, who will supervise
this branch of the educational system.
This estimate does not include the neCes-
sary expenditure for the erection of build
ings to accommodate the children who wiH
be Obliged to enrol i'm the schools. The
exact number of minors to be instructed
in the continuation schools will not be
known until the registration has been
completed, but the minimum estimate has
been placed at $4,000.
Equipment necessary to the technical
phases of the instruction will cost ap-
proXimately $500 Textbooks and other
articles needed in the academic courses
will be purchased for half that sum. A
considerable expense will be saved for the
taxpayers by the voluntary offer made
by large industrial and mercantile es-
tahishments to house the classes in their
buildings.
Women teachers of scholastic subjects
will be appointed from a large eligible
list now available to the school board
An examination for male instructors In
scholastic branches will be held on jan
uary 6 and Z, at 1922 Cherry street No
application will be received from any
man more than 40 years old. Informa-
ton regarding these positions may be
obtained from DR. George w. Founders,
chief eXRmiaer for the Board Of EduCa-
tlon, at his office in the Stock Exchange
Building. Competitive tests for male and
female instructors in technical subjects
will be held later
Men who have had practical experience
in industrial institutions will receive
preference when these vacancies are
hlled Women who have been trained in
housekeeping will likewise be preferred.
Music will be n part of the curriculum
of the continuation schools.

FOREIGN BODIES IN THE EYE;
AVOID FIRST AID SURGERY"
By WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

Tn FACTORIES where worlmen fire.
L qucntly get cindera, emery or other for
clyn bodies in the eye, there is generally
a self-made expert who may even have
some "antseptic" knowledge. and who
generally does a lot Of harm In his en-
deavors 20 dig out forcign bodies. Work
men thus injured should hold the employer
fully responsible and submit to no anna
teur Interference
Foreign bodies under the lids may be
removed by picking them off with a
little clean cotton wound upon n tooth
pick but never should an effort be made
to dig out foreign body which seems to
be embedded on the COrnea-over the col
Ored part of the eyeball.
If the eye becomes irritated from
foreign body it may be freely bathed by
allowing warm normal salt solution
Tablespoonful to the pint of boiled wateD
to run over the eyeball. pouring II on
gently with a spoon or clean medicine
dropper. This will wash out loose specks.
Do not rub the eye, and do not touch
1t with unwashed fingers. Keep every
thing that is not perfectly clean away
from the eye. Above all, do not allow
any one to moisten a cloth with saliva
for removing a foreign body, or, worse
vet, to use the tongue for that purpose,
as immigrants are frequently seen TO do.
The chief danger from a foreign body
in the eye is injury and liberation of the
cornea. This may be produced by Gin
ders, particles of steel or emery or stone,
but should not happen if the eye Is prop
erly treated from the beginning. A cor
neal ulcer may be no larger than the
head of a pin. minute denuded or raw
spot scarcely visible except by direct il
Elimination of the eyeball. Yet even this
minute ulcer will be long in healing, ow-
ing to the absence of circulation in the
corneal coat of the eye, and 1t may per-
NIT infection to enter and cause very
serious damage.
After a foreign body is removed there
is usually a feeling that 1t is still there.
As n rule, II is better TO apply a warm,
moist. normal salt solution compress over
the eye and bandage it in place This will
soon give relief from the pain.

IF HE DIGS
By LEWIS e. THAYER

He wanted a job and like everyone else,
He wanted At good one, you know;
Where his clothes would not soil and his
hands would keep clean,
And the salary mustn't be low.
He asked for Il pen, but they gave him a
spade,
And he half turned away with u shrug,
But he altered his mind, and seizing the
spade-he dug.
He worked with a will that is bound to
succeed,
And the months and the years went
along,
The way, Il was rough, and the labor
was hard,
But his heart he kept filled with a
song,
Some jeered him and sneered at the task,
but he plugged
Just as hard as he ever could plug;
Their words never seemed to disturb him
bit-as he dug.
The day came at last when they called
for the spade,
And gave him a pen in its place,
The joy of achievement was sweet to his
taste,
And victory shown on his face.
We can't always get what we hope for
at first,
Success cuts many queer jigs;
But one thing is sure-a man will sue
ceed-if he digs!
