EDUCATIONAL
SHUTDOWN IN NEW-
HAMPSHIRE FEARED
If the Legislature Fails to Supply
Needed Financial Assistance
at Once.

Concord, n. H., Feb. l2.-An educa
tional shut down is threat ned in this
state if the legislature fails to supply
financial aid at once, was the warn
ing given by Albertus T. Dudley of
Exeter, chairman of the House commit
tee on education. His official state
ment showed that the state education
al department will face a deficit OF
S246,O0O by the end of the fiscal year
Aug 81.
unless relief is granted, said Mr..
Dudley, "every one of the 1874 state
aided districts will be in dire straits
and at least one third will be obliged
to close their schools. The deficiency
report is in no sense due to extrava-
gance but to the unexpected increase
in the market cost of every school item
of expenditure"
The largest addition to expenses was
the pay increases for teachers. This
was needed to, obtain the instructors
who would maintain the high stand
ard set for the schools in New Hamp-
shire.
To impress upon the public the crisis
that is impending in the up-bringing of
children 1000 extra copies of the re-
port, with figures on distribution, will
be printed and given out.

Marion Edwards Park The ways in
which they go about II are as various
as the courses of study.
Thirteen act as student helpers in
the dormitories in change for room and
board. Fifteen more are working in
private families with whom they live.
Their duties consist for the most part
of waiting on table, washing dishes and
answering door bells and the tele-
phone.
One of these, freshman whose tut
ton is paid for by scholarship, rises
every morning in time to have dressed

Delicious Dishes from Can of Beans.

DELICIOUS DlSheS from Gan OF Beans
The inexpensive can of baked beans
put up. by any Of the reliable firms
has much to recommend il. 1t is true
that generally the tiny piece of pork
that accompanies the beans is so di
minutve that it takes considerable
searching to find it; still the favor
and consistency of the beans are very
good, says the Springfield Republican,
and they require so little time to re-
heat, that they are boon to the busy
housekeeper who wants substantial
meal at short notice.
As "a rule, the ones put up in to-
mato sauce are to be preferred. and
if the housewife win spend few mo-
ments in their preparation after they
are taken from the can, very good
substitute for the real home baked
beans can be obtained.
Take the beans carefully from the
can, turn into brown glazed baking
dish and lay over the top rashers OF
thinly sliced bacon Set the dish in a
hot oven and cook until the bacon is
crisp. Serve with hot Boston Brown
bread. If any of the beans are left
over, they will make either delicious
soup or salad; while baked bean
sandwiches are just the thing to add
to the funchbox when hearty noon
day meal is desired.
Baked bean salad-Mix together one
cupful Of baked beans, one cupful Of
chopped celery, three tablespoonful of
chopped green tomato pickle and hall
cupful Of shredded lettuce. Moisten
with a French dressing, to which a
pinch of curry powder has been added,
and serve in lettuce cups.
