TO SCHOOL OFFICERS

III bChOOL OFFICElSS
AND TEACHERS
AS the spring schools are about to
commence l am sending few sug-
gestions to you.
Cleanup Day."
This has been a long cold winter,
and now as it is about time for
spring schools to commence, let's
give good cheer to our boys and girls
and their teachers by appointing a
day in each school district for q
Cleanup Day"
Let's use some paper and paint in
the school house il necessary.
Let's see that the outbuildings
are in good condition. physically and
morally. Although l believe that
most of them are in good condition,
the boys and girls of this county
would be ashamed to have me ex-
anime the outbuildings and find any
obscene pictures or writing in them.
But l also want the parents to take
an interest in this matter.
Let's also have the boys and girls
help clean up the yard. / think it
would be fine for them to help and
then vote for their teacher or some
pupil to send me report of Clean
Up Day."
Below l am giving three clippings
from different papers: Facing a
Famine" Married Women to Teach"
and Hurry Call for Teachers"
Many of these married women will
make the best of teachers, their
children are old enough to be out of
the way and they know more of
children now than when they were
young girls teaching. Many have
splendid scholarships but are not
graduates of any institution and the
state will have to recognize this as
regards certification This the state
is doing and encouraging them to
come back into the work, especially
those who have had successful
teaching experience but who have re-
tired from active service
The United States is facing fam
inc of public school teachers. The
schools in various parts of the coun-
try are already suffering from a
shortage OF teachers. Men and wo-
men in noticeable numbers, reports
from different sections say, are re-
signing their positions in the schools
to take up other kinds of work. But
the worst of the situation, as explain
ed by DR. VIM. ii. Allen, who has
been leading student of school prob
lens for many years, is the certainty
of a great increased shortage in the
future, as evidence by the falling off
in enrollments in teachers training
schools. There never was a time
when good public school teachers were
needed as they are now and as they
will be in the immediate future" said
DR.. Allen. The whole problem of
AmericaniZation and training for cit
izenship, as il must be met in the ell
ementary public schools, is funda-
mental, yet from all over the country
we hear of the failure of young men
and women to register in the training
schools. We are approaching a
crisis"
Suspension of laws or ordinances
prohibiting married women from
teaching school. is advocated by the
federal commissioner Of education.

placing the large number Of teachers
who have quit to enter war work. In
a letter to city, county and state
school authorities DR.. Claxton states
that many sections are facing a
shortage of teachers because of high
er wages paid in commercial and in
dustrial occupations are attracting
young women from the schools.
There are in the country thous-
ands of persons. mostly women, OF
good scholarship and professional
training, who have had successful
experience as teachers but who have
retired from active SERVICE" says DR.
Claxton. II recommend that they
be called again into active service. u
National Education Association
has sent out hurry call for 100,-
600 teachers, which it says will be

in other pursuits. In some places

OF the absolute inability to procure
teachers at the salary provided. The
Association urges that the only way
to induce people to stick to teaching
is to increase the pay and a SO per
cent increase is recommended. OF
course the only way to retain work
ers in any line is to pay them enough
to make it interesting for them.
Short cuts will have to be adopted;
methods will have to be simplified ;
useless frills will have to be trimm-
ed off the courses of study and
things will have to be brought down
to a basis of essentials. That will
be a good thing for the school sys-
tenn in the end-in fact, exactly
what was needed. In other words.
the schools will have to be adjusted
to meet the needs of the times
made more practical and efficient so
that they can still produce better
results than ever at less effort.

Up from the meddOps rich Utth corn,
Clear in the cool September morn,
The clustered spires of Tulsa stand
Green-walled BY the hills of Usage Land.
Up rose old Barbara Frietchte then,
Boped With her fOurscore years and ten.
BraUest of all in Tulsa tOWn,
She took up the flag the men hauled dopN
She leaned far out on the lDindou sill
And shook it forth Uith royal piH.
"Shoot, If you must, this old gray head,
But spare your country's flag" she said.

"Who touches hair of yon gray head
Dies like dog! March on!" he said.

Glucose in fruit preserves may be
discovered as follows: In the case of

of jam or marmalade the same process
is carried out, but it is necessary To.
filter off the solid matter by running
the mixture through a piece of muslin.
Allow the solution to become perfectly
cool, and then add an equal volume. or
little more, of strong alcohol. If
glucose is present a dense white pre-
cipitate slowly settles down. Where
no glucose has been employed there
is no precipitate. save in some cases,

Farming on Paper Is Not

them, harvested them, marketed them
always at a surprising profit, and
without a moments worry about
weather, caterpillars, birds or beetles.
My hens have all laid two hundred
eggs a year; my berries have all sold
for % cents a box. Not COW ever
had hoof-and-mouth disease; not a pig
had cholera. My farm was always
situated on a New Hampshire noun
tain-side, overlooking lakes and rivers
and sunsets. A soil which in reality
produces blueberries and sweet fern,
where it does not extrude rocks, on

Shooting Stars Date Back
Into the Prehistoric Times

Our knowledge of shooting stars eX-
tends into the oldest history of human
ity, back into prehistoric times. Yet to-
day no one knows exactly what a
shooting star is, or from where it
comes, says the Popular Science
Monthly. A hypothesis proposed in
1875 and generally accepted today is
that meteorites are fragments broken
from small planetary masses by vol
canic explosions, brought about by a
sudden expansion Of gases, steam and
probably hydrogen. The broken bits,
after their separation, are believed to
arrange themselves in swarms which
cross the orbit Of the earth in accord
ance with a definite law. Shooting
stars, then, undoubtedly come from
within our solar system and are brok-
en- bits of a world body destroyed by
volcanic events. Many meteorites have
been found in Arizona.

No Hope in Fried Whale
With High Cost of Food

We are not greatly elated over the
prospect of eating fried whale, al
though the dish has been pronounced
excellent by Boston connoisseurs.
When corn and oats were suggested
as a substitute for wheat all patriotic
ally fell in line, for it was thought that
horse feed would be cheaper than man
food, which would mean a financial
saving as we'll as conservation for the
good of the country. But we reckOned
without our restaurateur. Immediate
~ substitute sandwiches began to per-
form the feat of diminishing in size
and increasing in price at the same
time. The great abundance of the
whale would seem to justify the hope
for a large meal at a nominal cost,
but there is fear that the restaura-
teur will soon learn to slice him up
with safety razor with the same dex-
terity that he can now make raisin
pie with one raisin.-Philadelp

Moons Influence on Plant
Growth Wholly Negligible,
Is Belief of Scientists

The old belief that the moon las
some sort of influence on plant growth,
still persists in some farming Sec
lions. Some farmers, it is said, re-
fuse to plant crops or to kill hogs
unless the moon is in some particular
position.
The influence of the moon on the
growth of crops, or on other agricul-
tural operations, has always been de-
MED by scientific men. The following
brief statement by G. f. Marvin, CHER
of the United States weather bureau,
printed in the Rural New Yorker,
shows what they think of the matter:
''It is the general belief of Scien-
lists that the moon has no appreciable
influence on temperature, rainfall, or
any other weather element, or ora
plant growth.
"Plant growth depends upon tenn
perature, light, humidity and planS
food Cloth in the soil and in the air),
and its availability. Obviously the
moon neither mellows the ground nor
fertilizes it, neither does it alter the
composition of the atmosphere; hence
it affects neither the mechanical con-
dition of the soil nor the kind or
quantity of available plant food.
eff the moon has any influence on
plant growth, it would seem that iS
must exert this influence through it's
light. Experiment, however, shows
that when a plant is so Swallowed that
it gets only one one-hundredth of nor
NAL daylight, it grows but little bet
ter than it does in absolute darkness.
Full daylight is about 100000 times
brighter than full moonlight; hence
one one-hundredth of daylight, already
too feeble to stimulate appreciablY
plant activity, is still 5000 times
brighter than full moonlight. The con-
clusion is that, even in respect to
light stimulus, the moons influence
on plant growth is wholly negligible"

His Resianation Emphatic.

Another yarn from the mercury
lighted editorial rooms of Park Row.
1t was six in the morning. The city
editor was there. A reporter came in.
He took off his coat walked over and
picked up a chair and beat it to frag-
ments against post. This chair
finished, he picked up another and
went through the same process.
Finally the gasping editor called
out: "Here, what are you doing?"
"Tm resigning, you gray-haired
idiot" was the reply, "and l am re-
signing in a way that will make you
remember me until your dying day.
And after you are dead want piece
of the rope"
Then he marched out and the city
editor got him later in the day by
telephone and offered to double his
salary, but he wouldn't come back.
He has joined his colors. He will
make a fighter, no doubt.-New York
Sun.

Fuel Value of Potatoes
Higher Than of Any Other
of Fresh Vegetables Used

Potatoes contain all the different
substances needed for the body. Pro
TEN and minerals for growth and re-
pair; starch and fat for energy: and
minerals and rOughage for body regu-
latiOn. A. diet of whole milk and DO
tatoes is perfect; the fat and protein
of the milk supplement the small
quantity of these in the vegetable.
The fuel value of potatoes is higher
than that of any other fresh vegetable
used, according to Lucy Cordiner of
the University of Minnesota.
Common methods used in the prep
aration and cooking of potatoes are
Wasteful. When potatoes are peeled
and allowed to stand for an hour or
two in cold water they lose over half
the protein and one-third their min
erals. The peeling also takes food
with it. When cooking is begun in
cold water the loss is nearly as great.
Potatoes can be prepared with no loss
of food value if they be first blanched
by cooking in boiling water for ten
minutes, then plunged into cold wa
ter, and the skin rubbed or peeled off.
Cooking can be completed in any way
desired, baking, steaming or boiling.
A quick oven is essential for baking
and produces potatoes that are dry,
mealy and easily digested.
If the skin is pricked with a fork
toward the end Of baking they are
further improved by escape of steam.
Soggy, watery potatoes do not digest
easily and may cause gas.

We must mention also Rocky Noun

occurred during the spring months in
Montana and the neighboring states.
The germ of this disease is transmitted
from cattle to man by the tick, which
insect is the responsible agent also for
Texas or cattle fever.
