grammar school by the same col
lege. "And just here, should like
to ask" Mr.. Koehler said, "Why do
we teach reading in eight grades? :?
The mechanics of reading is US
ually mastered in three or four
years. Is it not to develop love
for reading and an appreciation of
good literature? And the method
we have pursued for many years
has meant certain defeat of our
announced purpose. We give our
children readers, which they read
not once, but again and again, un-
til they grow to hate the sight of
the book. Why not have several
sets of readers in the school, and
let them read the stories once and
look forward to each days read
ing with interest and delight? The
books would last many times as
long. There would be no financial
waste in the proposition, and we
would accomplish the thing we set
out to do. The school should have
in its budget some stated amount
for the purchase reference
books. Let the sum be small if
need be, but let it be a fixed sum.
We cannot expect to get the things
desirable, however, but the things
we must have at once.

New Equipment

The necessity of supplying new
seats is another problem. Through
out the school this year, there are
many broken seats. Counting only
those that must be replaced and
the equipment necessary for the
three new rooms, we shall need ap-
propriately 125 new seats. Forty
eight chairs, loaned by Delaware
College, have been in use this year.
These must be replaced Stools for
the purpose will cost $4,000.
Newark post., 1918-03-13

According to an Act of the
Legislature the amount which
can be raised by the Newark dis
trict by taxation in any one year
is limited to $4,000.

The Book Item

About books. Mr.. Koehler ac-
cepted five books as the average
number per pupil, and eighty cents
as a fair estimate of the cost per
book. The average life Of a text
book, Il has been shown Ev statis-
tics, is three yearS. This means
that there are in use in the Newark
school, about 270O books. One
third of these or 900 should be pur-
chased, in order to keep the supply
up to normal, every year, meaning
an estimated expenditure for books
of S720 per year. AS matter of
fact the records show this item has
been running at from 1925 to S190
per year. Such a method of re-
trenchment, however, has been
merely putting off the evil day
Trouble, piled up, comes out soon
error later. The present school
year about $500 has been expended
for books, and this item will be
larger next year.
Then the school should have
some reference books. This year q
number have been put at the dis.
posal of the school by the Women's
College, and a new Internationa'
encyclopedia will be placed in the

lege, in return for practice teach
ing privileges, has provided the
$500 worth for the first year. 1t is
for Newark to decide. Shall this
work be continued?
Facts Brought Out in Discussion
At the close Of Mr.. Koehler's
talk, a general discussion followed
in the course of which were
brought out these facts:
The budget for next years
totals approximately $4,000. In
addition to teachers salaries, the
larger items are: Rent for two
rooms. approximately S250.00;
Maintenance. S1,000.00; Opera
ton of School Plant, S2,500.00;
Text and Reference Books, ST.
10000 to S1,500.0O; Supplies of
all sorts, SS50.00: Physics or
Chemistry, Home Economics and
Biology Laboratories, S1,000.00.
Running expenses this year
will amount to $4,000, or an ex-
penditure of S25.00 per child.
Three years ago our average eX-
penditure was $50 per child. The
State estimates $40 per child.
Of the three new rooms need
ed, one is available in the Gram
mar School. Two must be sup
piled.

Newark post., 1918-03-13
Teachers Salaries

Relative to teachers salaries
Mr.. Koehler referred to the fact
that changed economic conditions
have made it imperative that
salaries be substantially increased
next year, if the present standard
in the teaching force is to be main
tanned. "Teachers are leaving the
profession daily for far more re-
numerative positions in the COM
mercial world" Mr.. Koehler said.
THE mails are shot full of litera-
ture pulling the teacher away from
her profession. Business is going
to claim our teachers unless their
salaries are increased. One hun
dred sixty Iowa schools are with
out teachers; there were fifteen in
Delaware a few weeks ago; three
training schools of which | know
report an enrolment of so percent
less than last year. Question
naries. circulated among seniors
in leading womens colleges, show
an anything but teaching senti-
ment on the part of the young wo-
men. In the course Of a brief visit
to a Philadelphia business college
recently, l witnessed more than
six. probably eight, teachers en-
roll for night work. with the as
surance that at the end of three
months they would be supplied
with positions paying from $1,000
to $1,000 per year. Certainly we can
not blame the teachers. | have
been searching the town this week
to find board for new teacher. To

anything better than a room at one
place, and board at another, at ar
expenditure of $1,000 per week

present prices, what is left out o

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
REOPEN

The Bismarck public
schools will reopen Monday,
heXt, after an enforced vaca-
ton of four weeks and two
days.
In order to make up this
lost time it viii be necessary
to, dispense with the usual
vacations for the rest of the
school year with the excep-
4 ton of Christmas Day, New
). Years Day, Thanksgiving
Day; and the two National
holidays in February. The
usual mid-year will be set
ahead sufficiently to enable
the first half years work to
be completed in a satisfac-
tory. manner. The second
\ half year will be completed
easily by the elimination Of
the spring vacation and some
intensive work when the
days are longer in the spring.
We hope for and feel assured
of the fullest cooperation and
help from all patrons in our
effort to round out the school
year practically as satisfac- S.
torily as in other years when
conditions were normal.

WIN WAR IN KITCHEN
New Slogan of the People of
Great Britain.
Bones Saved by the Housewives Are
Turned Into Munitions Of
War.

London-Save that old bone it may
kill German.
This is the thought that flashes
through the mind of the English house
wife these days following an appeal
made to her to conserve all the old
bones from the kitchen, that they may
be used in the manufacture of glycer-
in and then incorporated into bombs
and shells for the army in France.
The movement has the approval of the
minister of munitions.
The appeal to the housewife says
that bones will produce grease, which
yields glycerin for explosives; glue
for the making of airplanes and bone
meal, fertilizer which increases food
crops and thus aids in the battle
against the German submarines.
For the bones which were formerly
thrown away or burned the housewife
will receive one cent a pound from
her butcher or margarine dealer, who
in turn will receive a profit of one cent
a pound in turning them over 10 the
general collector, to whom u fair prof
it also is allowed.
From the enthusiastic response from
the women of England 1t begins TO
look as if the plan to 'Win the war in
the kitchen" will prove popular with
those unable to 90 to the front or
otherwise offer their services to the
government.

he had found was just the reverse.
The British army made him blink; it

'swank.' He expected TO find low
morale, instead of which he finds It
high. Personally think these officers

to admire in amaze.

GIVES EIGHT SONS TO WAR
Five of British Mothers Boys Are
Killed in Action and Another is
Paralyzed.

London.-The countless numbers or
heroic sacrifices made by British moth
ers have been far eclipsed by Mrs.
Beechey. widow of Rev. Z. w. L.
Beechey. late vicar of Friesthorpe,
Lincolnshire, who has given eight sons
to serve their country. five of whom
have lost their lives.
Three have been killed on the west
ern front, another died at Rouen, while
the fifth, Charles Reeves Reechey or
the Royal Fusiliers, who was mas
ter at Stamford Grammar school, has
expired from wounds received in East
Africa. One, Bernard Beechey. was
sehoolmaster at Lincoln, and another
Frank, was master of the Lincoln Ca
thedral Choir school.
Three other sons survive. or these
one has been paralyzed and the other
two are still serving. All the broth
ers joined the army as volunteers, two
of them enlisting in Australia, where
they were farming.
