How to Dispose of Rags
Waste paper and rags may be
disposed of by requesting some
charitable society to call and re-
ceive them or by writing a waste
paper and junk dealer to call and
receive them weekly or monthly,
or by collecting large amounts
and then securing prices from the
cooperation of one or more large
collectors and buyers Of this
material.
Of this large amount of rags
and old papers used in the manu-
facture of papers in this coun-
try so per cent of the amount
used yearly is imports, according
to the department of commerce.
Imports have decreased so large
ly in the last few months, owing
to conditions in Europe, that for
some time there has been almost
famine in paper-making raw
materials.
"The effect of this increase in
cost of all paper-making mate
rails has been to make CORES
ponding increases in the cost of
all kinds and grades of paper"
says the department of commerce.
1T is wise to save waste paper,
rags, etc, for they are valuable.
There is at present an increase
demand for paper, cardboard, etc.
in the United States. The pres
ent daily production of paper of
all kinds is fore than $4,000 tons.
The present daily consumption of
old papers of all kinds for manu-
facture is estimated at about s.
600 tons. Competent authority
states that rags form 7.S per
cent of the fibres we use in paper
making, waste papers, books
magazines, etc, ola per cent.
About $4,000 tons of rags and
100000 tons of waste papers, ETC.,
were imported in 1913"

the saving of waste paper and old
rags ultimately means a conser.

Jobs Closed to Drinkers

In the July American Magazine
! DR.. Edwin F. Bowers says:
There are more than a million
jobs in America closed to the man
who drinks alcoholic liquors. This
means that not only the employee
shall not drink while on duty, but
that he shall keep clear of all
public drinking places while off
duty.
Leaders in this excommunica-
ton of John Barleycorn are the
American railroads, which gen.
orally have adopted Rule G. the
mightiest blow yet delivered at
alcohol in industry. But the
railroads are not standing alone
Other great industries have come
to see that alcohol makes only
for accidents, inefficiency and
waste. Workmen's Compensa
ton Laws in many states have
helped to open mems eyes, and
business common sense is keep
ing them open.

THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION TO THE PUBLIC


Before assigning these several
additional duties to the office of
the Commissioner, permanent
office and office rooms should be
provided. Moving about from one
set of rooms to another, some
times twice in year, is not con-
ducive to the development of sys-
tematic keeping of records and
documents. To an office such as
the Commissioner of Education
such frequent migrations are es-
pecially Instantaneous. If the
office cannot find and produce
documents and information when
they are wanted, there is small
value in the records or the docu-
ments.
To take care of this mass of
detailed record keeping and of
c O p u t i ng, the Commissioner
should have an assistant who can
handle all the Office work and all
statistical, t a b III a t ons and
studies under the direction of the
Commissioner, and who can also
be State High School Inspector.
The Commissioner WOULD still
have enough to do in being the
Held agent Of the State Board of
Education and Secretary to the
Board. The office of Commission
er of Education is important if
there is to be general and con-
slant growth and development in
the system, but to make the off,
cial of most value he must be
given a place to work, and the
necessary equipment, just as the
school must have books and fur
niture. The assignments of duty
as proposed could not have been
made before the office had been
created, but they can and should
be made now, regardless of who
is Commissioner; there are duties
proper to the office. Who may be
the official to discharge them is
n involved at all.
Charles A. Wagner
Secretary of the State Board of
Education.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1916-07-19

Since the state has created
such an office, it should now after
trial treat the Office as perma
nent, and assign to the official al
the duties and responsibilities
that properly belong to it. Al
present a number of duties that
should be performed by the Com.
missioner of Education when the
respective duties had to be as
signed to some official.
Thus, the computations and al
lotments of School Dividends is
now made by the State Treasurer
Very little thinking is needed to
see that the Commissioner of
Education should be charged
with this duty; he keeps the re-
cord of teachers qualified and ap-
pointed, and it is on the basis of
number of teachers employed that
the School Dividend is paid.
Therefore, the Commissioner Of
flee should make the computations
and allotments and instruct the
State Treasurer as to the amount
of Dividends to be paid to each
district. The State Treasurer
would still handle all the money.
Similarly with the accounts with
the school districts for book pur-
chases. Now the State Treasur-
err has to keep all the accounts
and handle all the routine of
book orders and book payments
charging the payments to the dis
tricts and deducting the book
payments from the annual school
dividend. For obvious reasons
the book orders should be handl-
ed by the office Of the Commits
sioner of Education. The pay
ments should continue to be made
by the State Treasurer, upon the
order of the Commissioner of
Education.
The payments to school dis
trlcts for nonresident pupils too
are computed by the State Treas
urer. These computations and
accounts too should be the re-
sponsibility of the Commissioner
to compute and keep.

Bees Proved They Had somethlne TO
Say About the Disposition of
Their Product.

A farmer possessed few swarms
Of bees which he kept IN what are
called box hives. Inside there we're
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds or honey each, an
exchange says About eight OF these
were placed on the top OF the hive, and
as at least one side OF each box was Of
glass. the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filled with honey
The farmer usually chose to do this
early in the mQDipg, before the bees
came but to begin the 1abors. OF the
day, or at night when they had fin
ished them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the Intruder
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take 1t out In the after
noon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood a few
rods from the house, and on that side
Of the house were large doors lead
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
we're partly Of glass. the bottom of
each was made OF little stats, so that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and hur-
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly outeand
return to the hive. But, in his haste
to avoid being stung. the farmer left
the doors open too much, so that the
cellar was quite light whereas it
should have been dark.
The bees we're so excited, and en-
ragged that they flew in all directions,
attacking everyone who came in their
way. When suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to go
near them Early the next morning
the farmer looked out of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
At about ten o'clock he looked again
and not bee could be seen. He went
down and brought up the boxes. But,
instead of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as.
light as air, being filed only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with a will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.
