snake.charmers seeret

How does the snake-charmer charm
asks writer In the Popular Science
Monthly. That's one of the questions
we've always asked ourselves. AnG
now an English doctor tells us one
of the secrets.
Take the case OF the cobra. for
instance. 1t is a very venomous snake
yet the snake-charmer Is not harmed
when bitten by one
3 The secret lies in the fact that the
charmer "milks" the cobra before he
allows himself to be bitten. He makes
the cobra bite into a piece Of meat
thereby expelling two thirds of the
poison In its poison gland. When the
charmer allows the snake to bite him
Immediately thereafter. there Is moi
enough poison left In the gland to dc
any harm.
What Is the next step? The charmeI
makes the snake bite a fowl while he
squeezes the remaining drops OF
poison out Of the snakes gland; the
fowl dies. and the 4charmer wins the
confidence Of his audience.

SCHOOL REPORT
At So. AMbOY
Work of School Nurses Are
Praised Report on En-
roIIment is Given

SOUTH AMBOY, July 29.-An in
teresting fact is pointed out in the
annual report Of o. O. Barr, super
~intendent of this city's schools. The
total enrolment for the year was
S25. OF this number Ala were boys
and All girls, almost an even divis-
ion, although in the Junior and
senior high school the number of
girls exceeded the number of boys
by thirty-fve. This is the condition
not only in our school but in all
public high schools.
A total of $4S,525 for thirty-one
teachers and the superintendent rep
resents the salary budget for the
ear The average salary paid to
teachers was $1,439.51. This aver
age compares f~avorably with other
communities outside Of the larger
cities OF the state. The slight diff
ference existing in the salaries of
teachers who have given service for
ten years Or more as compared with
the salaries of those teachers who
have recently been engaged has
created dissatisfaction among the
of schools urged that as soon as
financial conditions are remedied the
revision of salaries take place.
The only innovation during the
year was the work. of the school
nurses. This was made possible by
the cooperation of the Board of
Education and the child hygiene de-
partment of the state. The nurses
carefully looked over the general
health of the children, their cleanli-
ness, and followed up the work Of
the medical inspector.
The work in all the special de-
partments, physical training, domes-
tic science. music and drawing, has
been Of high order, but the work of
the manual training has not been
up to the standard. The following
needs are outlined: Ample play
ground facilities, two kindergarten
classes, more laboratory equipment,
program clock for school Nc. 3,
equipment and tables for mechani-
cal drawing classes. equipment for
gymnasium and physical training,
and hot water for showers.
