The Women to be Active in Country
Club.

The Women to be Active in Country
Club.
1t was stated in the last weeks issue
of The Reporter that the romantic old
stone house on the Shannon property
would be owned by the Country club.
The enthusiasm of the writer for the
new organization and the inviting quaint
ness of the old stone house appealed too
strongly to him. The fact is that the
stone home is not included in the bar
gain. This matter corrected, it is a
pleasure to go on and tell more about
the plans of the club. A club of Ed
gerton women who enjoy the open air
and the open country is being formed.
With their husbands, sons or chosen
companions they can follow the games
of golf, tennis or archery, strenuously
or leisurely, as they may choose, filling
an afternoon with the most exhilirating
exercise and the most wholesome pleas
ure imaginable. the day winding up
with a Iamlly or group picnic on the
course or in the club house.
A Junior club of boys and girls is also
part of the plan. Not less than 200
members are predicted for this organ
ization. The young folks take to golf
and tennis. These games develop re-
sourcefulness, good temper, self-control
and the spirit of good natured rivalry.
They promote physical development,
skill and endurance to a degree that in
door physical exercise can not reach;
the open air, the sun and the room for
free movement are unexcelled factors
in building physically fit young men and
young women.
Next week we shall discuss how to
learn the game of golf, and the condi-
tons of membership.

CT rom single plant, then the rol- ley it will be; but if it costs less to travel on rubber tires over the pave ment surface, propelled by individ- ual engines, then the trolley lines must go.
 A bus company with s2,oeo, 900 capital has been incorporated to
 operate throughout New Jersey, promising to charge five-cent fares in competition with the seven-cent troI- ley fares. We cannot but wonder will it pay? The owners of these busses will be subject to great ex- penses for repairs and depreciatton
 They will not be without labor troubles. They must provide for supervision of their men, for bus licenses, chauffeur licenses, and the inevitable damage suits for accidents The city of Buenos Ayres has just granted a fifty-year charter to a bus line to operate four lines from the center of the city to certain suburbs. At the expiration of the charter the lines are to revert to the city. The fares will be the same as charged by trolley and subway lines.
 If the jitney can be made to pay better than the trolley. we would think that fact would have been dis covered earlier, but perhaps now is the due time. There are advantages in the trolley; there are places where the trolley cars are sometimes heated in the winter. There are sL-vanrages in the jitney; it can run anywhere track or no track, and on any sched- ule; but is the latter an advantage or a disadvantage?
 First the omnibus, then the horse car, then the cable car, then the trolley car, and then back to the on- n1bus. Is this to be the cycle? Some time we shall arrive at the true solu-

 These new busses are designed to hold ~ seated and 15 standing, with no seats on top. The buses them selves would cost s550,O0O and the garage equipment and spare parts Szo'Ooo more. The proposition of | the Commissioner of Plant and Struc- lures is to operate 92 of these busses on nine routes totalling 25 miles of streets, buses being held in reserve
 Despite the predictions of the trol- ley companies, the Commissioner estimates that with a total annual ex- pense of $65O,000 a year, including the employment of 1SO chauffeurs at Si'ooo per year, the city's profit on the venture would be $376.8O per uay, all fares being on the fve-cent basis.

RANGERS NEEDED BY
InE FOREST SERVlt I

The United States Civil Servic" CommiSs,on will hold an open com petitiva examination for forest ranger on October p. 1920, at the various Ma tional Forest headquarters of the Nor tin Pacific District, located at Cordova and Ketchikan, Alaska; Albany, Baker Bend, Eugene, Grants Pass, John Day, Lakeview, Medford, Pendleton, Port iand, Prineville, Roseburg, and Wal Iowa, Oregon; Bellingham, Okanogan, Olympia, Republic, Seattle, Tacoma, Waila Walla, and Wenatchee, Wash ington.
 Persons desiring to enter this ex- animation should selure application form 1912, from the Civil Service Commission or from the Forest Sup ervisor at any of the places where the examination is to be held.
 Candidates must be between the ages of twenty-one and forty years. They must be able e-bodied and are re- guired to pass a medical examination. Persons whose military service en- titles them to preference are released from age requirements. Other require merts are at least common-school education and knowledge of the rudi- r,ents of compass surveying, timber timating and scaling, land laws, and and the livestock business.
 Forest ranging offers men who like the forests and mountains an oppor- tunity for a vigorous outdoor life where they may fight forest fires, build trails, telephone lines, and cab ins. To a person fond of an outdoor life the work is varied, interesting and healthful. However, the forest ranger must be willing to endure hardship if necessary. His work often takes the ranger into. remote regions where he must know how to take care of him. self and his saddle horses.
 Applicants who reside in the state where they take the examination are given preference in appointment over non-residents. Preference is also giv- en by act of Congress to honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, and ma rines, who should attach to their appli- cations their original discharge or a photostat copy or a certified copy thereof, or their official record of ser vice, which will be returned after in- spection by the Commission.
 The work of a forest ranger gives the necessary training to make an ex- pert woodsman. Many rangers devel- CD special skill along some pnase oz their work, = as timber cruising, sur veying, logging, engineering, or tele- RaoD' construction

 Many Newfoundland officials hold to the view that the correct delimita- tion was made in a sessional paper is- sued in this colony in 1864. Under the phraseology of this document New foundland would be entitled to thous- ands of square miles of the interior of the Labrador peninsula in addition to the coast.
 In view of these facts it is some what surprising that the value of the primary aluminium produced in the United States in 1919, $35,55S,000, was about percent less than that in 1918, according to the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior. This decrease, however, was due chiefly to the accumulation of large stocks in 1918. With a favorable market the output in 1920 may be greater than ever.

HIGH SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, Oct, 2S- New high schools have been added to the American educational system at the rate of at least one a day during the last '2S years. Statistics compiled by the Federal Bureau of Education show that there are now more than 17,000 such schools an increase of 452 percent over the number in 1890. Attendance figures from l4,O00 of the schools give to- tai of 1,735,619 scholars, indicating in effect that one-tenth of the popula- tion is getting high school educations, the bureau states.
 Only 632 of the school reporting to the bureau enroll 500 students each and PTS enroll over 1000, while one half of the 13,951 schools tabulated have an enrolment of between 27 and 100 students. City high schools con- stitute less than 10 percent of the to- tai. They enroll 52 percent of all stu dents. Almost S5 percent of the high schools are rural with 40 percent of the students.
 As 65 percent of the schools offer ing q four-year course have terms of only !SO days during the year, a longer school course have terms of on- ly lS0 days during the year, longer school term is "unmistakably foresha- dowed," according to bureau officials. The schools cost thousands of dollars to crract and to utilize the property for only loo days year is "bad judge ment,' the statement said.
 The number of high school gradu- ates has increased from Fl ,SS2 in 1900 10 PA ,367 in 1918. Considering the in- crvase in population during this period it is found that American youths are becoming over six times as well edu- cated as they were.
 The state of Texas leads in percent age of high school graduates who con tinue their studies in preparatory school or college. North Carolina and Ken lucky are second and third respective ly.
 The average high school principal, the statistics show, receives $1,272 a year. or about $100 a month for the [ entire year. Principals of the District of Columbia, California, Arizona, and New York receive ! the highest salaries in the order nam- ! ed, while Nebraska pays the lowest | average salary.
 In 1918 there were S1,034 high i school teachers, as compared with g. i 120 in 1890. Since 1902 there has been a steady increase of women entering 1 the profession ana today only 34 per cent of all high-school teachers are men.

ST Johns N. F. Oct, % Recent surveys of Labrador which have dis closed immense resources of timber suitable for pulp and paper manufact- are have led to revival of efforts to bring about determination of the boundary line between Newfoundland and the Canadian province of Quebec. This line has never been laid down by actual survey and it's various definit- ioas as given in documents issued at intervals in the last century and q half a,c so vauge that government of ficials do not know just how much of Labrador belongs to Newfoundland and how much to Canada.
 That Labrador is rich in many na- tur.l resources, including enormous ,;ateryower, has long been known, but the rrltticability of utilizing it's for nsts for iaper making was not demon strated until the worldwide paper shortage led to exhaustive investiga- ulors of the territory. This resulted in applications by promoters to the New fcundland government for timber linn, its in Labrador. As these could not be acted upon until it was determined whether Newfoundland owned the land n question, representatives of this col ony were scnt to London late in the summer to discuss with eminent Eng nsh counsel the preparation of for nal draft of Newfoundland's Labra- nor claims as opposed to those of Can ada.
 ihe coast of Labrador was annexed to Newfoundland in 1763. Ten years later, owing to difficulties arising out of grants made to number of per sons under the French rule, it was :hanged to Canadian jurisdiction. In 1909 it was again transferred to New foundland and has since been attached 5o this colony.
 The difficulty arises over differ ent interpretations of the words "coast of Labrador. One view is that New foundland can claim only the coast be- tween Blanc Sablon and Cape Chidley, with perhaps half a mile inland, and that the rest of Labrador belongs to Canada. As defined in the letters pat ent constituting the office of Cover nor of Newfoundland, the boundary was described as line drawn between Blanc. Sablon and Cape Chidley, which would pass through the ocean in cer- tain sections and leave large areas of the coast to the westward of the line and therefore not under Newfoundland jurisdiction.
