"New Englandism Dead"


THE last decade" says Prof. Muen-
sterberg of Harvard. in his latest
book, has swept away the New Eng
land temper which was so averse to
the sonsuous enjoyment of life, and
which long kept invisible control over
the spirit of the whole nation"
Just think of that moment: The
Puritan spirit of New England, which
we have always been taught to re-
gard as the immortal Inheritance of
a great people, which is supposed
TO have animated our public and pri-
waite life more than any factor for
nearly 800 years--it is utterly gone.

Economy.

Some OF the great American rail
roads issue bulletins to their en-
pioyes with such items as these:
zone lead pencil equals the hauling
of one ton of freight two miles.
Zone track bolt equals the hauling
of ton of freight three and one-half
miles.
"One red lantern globe equals the
hauling of ton OF freight rs miles.
"One gallon of signal oil equals the
hauling of ton of freight 30 miles.
zone station water paid equals the
hauling of ton of freight 60 miles"
There could hardly be a more eff
fective way of showing the economic
Importance of little things. And If
a billion-dollar railroad takes the
trouble to look after its track spikes
and bits of waste, and turns them in
to their equivalent of accomplished
work, surely an individual citizen
might practice the same economy and
efficiency with advantage.
Suppose we replace the railroad
bulletin with some such list as this:
Zone lost lead pencil equals car fare
home.
'0ne newspaper, bought and not
read, equals a package of matches.
"One novel, purchased and dis
carded, instead of drawn from the IL
brary, equals a bushel of potatoes.
One necktie, never worn, equals a
Sunday roast.
"0ne meal at fashionable restau-
rant instead of better meal you
might have had at home, equals suit
of underwear.
zone lawn mower allowed to fall
to pieces equals a pair of cshmoes

"One plot of garden ground unused
equals a months grocery bill.
"one box OF expensive cigars equals

A Call to the Women.

In a recent issue Of the Woman's
Home Companion it calls on American
women to hedp in this war crisis. II
calls on them to arise and support
American industries as never before.
The call is written by Ida NJ. Tarbell,
the famous journalist and historian.
whose knowledge. of American bust
ness is wide and renders her an au-
thority.
After showing how American women
have in the past prided themselves
on imported goods, Miss Tarbell goes
ON to show how American manufac-
turers and designers are capable Of
superior workmanship and art which
American women ought to support
And yet she says that in the past
American woren with the opportuni-
ty to choose between two equally
good pieces of work, domestic and
foreign, have decided in favor of the
foreign. In the past she says that
American women have had little
sense of responsibility. little loyalty
or pride in their chance to do a great
service. The Woman's Home Com
panion, says in part:
"rhe day has come for the Ameri-
can woman to wake up to her duty
TO the industries of this country. Our
common people have paid terrible
price to establish them. but they
never can be developed to their place

HE HAS NOT DIED IN VAIN.

Some day the history Of Fairfield

is written the story Of Adam Hood,
sheriff, who defended his prisoner
with his life, who, wounded to death,
carried in his arms the mortally
stricken negro charged with a helm.
GUS crime and laid him before the
bar of justice, will be told in it and
the school children Of Fairfield will
be taught to honor the name of
this officer as symbolizing the un-
flinching courage Of the Anglo-Saxon
race and the unfaltering loyalty to
laws that the people make that has
made it a free race among tie peo-
pie of the earth. That the prisoner
was a vile and miserable wretch &C
cused Of the most hated crimes will
the more be pointed to as illustrat-
ing the heroism of the sheriff who
died in defense of the trust placed
in him by his people and the duty to
them which he had undertaken to do.

glad to get home as the home people
are to have them. They are shak-

says that he is so glad to get horne
that he is willing to make speeches
before the different women's clubs
on "Abbeville as a pleasant place to
live" In fact he is willing to 60

moustache acquired in the last six
months.

So PER CENT SCHOOL
CHILDREN SUFFER
FROM DEFECTIVE TEETH

Out of 330,179 school children
examined in the city Of New York in
1914, 194,207 or 58 per cent suffer-
ed from defective teeth. This ex-
ceeded the sum total of all the other
defects noted by nearly $4,000. De-
fective teeth impair general health
and impede school progress. Dis
orders Of the digestive tract, tuber-
culosis and various other diseases fire
quently are preceded by diseased
conditions in the mouth. There is q
direct relationship between dental
DEVELOPMENT and mental develop
ment, and it is absolutely essential
to good work in schools that child
ren's teeth be maintained in a heal
thy condition. The Public Health
Service recommends that a good
tooth brush be included in the list
of Christmas presents for every
American child and that it's use be
made a part Of the daily training.
If this recommendation is carried
out the United States will have more
healthy children this year than last
and their chances of growing up in
to useful, healthy men and women
will be increased.

SPECIAL TYPEWRITER FOR
WRITING WAY BILLS

Washington, D. c., December r.,
Errors in reading way bills which
have been a prolific cause OF tho
miscarriage Of freight with conse-
auent inconvenience to shippers and
loss to the railroads, practically have
been eliminated by the Southern
Railway through the installation OF
specially built way bill typewriters
at twenty-eight principal stations
at which the great volume Of pack
age freight handled by the Southern
Way bill typewriters having large
and easily read letters and capacity
for making as many as sixteen CO.
pies at one operation have been in
stalled at Atlanta, Primers Point.

Chattanooga, Birmingham, Selma,

mac Yards, and East st. Louis. The
larger stations also have been equip
bed with machines for freight bills
and reports and with adding and cal
culating machines.
While the Southern Railway is
adopting improved methods in hand
ling freight and in the station ser
vice in order to insure shipments be-
ing delivered promptly to the right
consignee without loss or damage,
the Company is asking the coopera-
ton of shippers in making out legi-
bic bills of lading and shipping or
,ders, preferably on the Typewriter, so
as to further minimize the possibil-
ity of errors in handling. :. :

Specialists in Public Work

As a general proposition, ! believe
that the administration Of county af-
fairs should be departmentized and
q superintendent trained by educa-
ton and experience and possessing a
capacity for executive work, placed
in charge of each department with
full authority to employ his own help
without interference on the part of
any of the commissioners. He should
then be held strictly to account to
the board of county commissioners
for the successful conduct of his de-
partment. I believe that inasmuch
as boards of county commissioners
are not in themselves experts in en-
gineering, sanitation, architecture,
agriculture, philanthropy, accounting
or any of the other lines of work
which they are called upon. to ad-
minister, it is incumbent upon them
to employ in each case some one who
is, and to demand from such a one

line, an economical and efficient So

his successor should be appointed
without any unnecessary delay. How
ever, should he demonstrate his
worth by successful achievements I
believe he should be retained in the
