In many public schools children are

has been felt that infectious diseases
might easily he communicated from
one child to another by the pencils.
For boys and girls have a habit Of
chewing or sucking the ends of their
pencils, and the germs Of the many
diseases that lurk In the mouth are
thus transferred to the soft wood.

HOW EDITOR COINED WORD
The "Gerrymander" Was Born in
Massachusetts and Is Credited to
Nal. Benjamin Russell.

1t was an early American newspa-
per editor who made the word gerry
mander." He was Maj. Benjamin Rus
sell Of the Massachusetts Centinel,
which he and his partner, Warden,
founded in 1884. He was a fighting
man, and the Centinel was no tame
journal, but whacked bllthely and cared
not where the chips fell, says the Mer-
genthaler Lines O'Type News.
In 1911 the Massachusetts leglsla-
ture under Governor Gerry made a
neat new division Of districts for con-
gress elections. The most insldl-
Gus and ingenious arrangement Of
districts was the one for the
county of Essex. with great glee
Russell took a map Of the county and
colored the districts to show the
Nervousness Of the device.
Gilbert Stuart, the famous painter,
saw the map, and suggested that the
apportionment looked like n reptile.
He made u few marks on II with his
pencil and said: "Therei it's sala-
mander! !"
Russell jumped up, laughing "Sala-
manderI" he shouted, looking at the
hideous figure: "Gerrymander
An engraving OF the "gerrymander"
was made and hnwked through the
state. Thus was born what probably
IS one of the most constantly used Of
all manufactured words,

Not from perversity do we praise the
past, but because We love It. II has a
life as venerable as that OF the wild
things Of nature, and affects us in the
same way.
New things as compared with It are
as the tree In the suburban garden is
to the primeval forest.
The forest shade and the species that
lnhRbit IT, and the sound Of rivers in
the spring freshet. and the pushing up
of fungus, and the ripenlng Of acorns,
though renewed each year, are yet
among the oldest things and have IN
them the most persistent life.
