Credited With the Word Bohemia.

The novelist TO whom nature owes
the word bohemia-not in the geo.
graphical sense, but moral condition
was perhaps Henri Murger, if the
wcrd can be ascrited to any one
writer.
Henri Murger novelist and poet.
was born March 81, 1922, in Paris.
He made attractive to his readers the
irresponsible life of artists and stu
dents in Paris, and left some classic
tales and songs of dissolute thriftless-
ness and literary impecuniosity Murg-
or was trained for the profession of
law, became for time secretary of
Count, Leo Tolstoy, but, like that earli-
er bohemian, Villen. he chose dissi
patton rather than decency. He died
In a charity hospital in Paris in 1861.
A monument has been erected to his
memory. but not without protest. Sew
eral OF Murger's songs have been trans
lated by Andrew Lang in Ballads and
Lyrics of Old France" published In
1872.

Printing Stamps BY Millions.

Few labor-saving machines are more
ingenious in combining a number OF
operations. or more impressive in the
amount of work they 90, than the new
stamp printing presses of the United
States bureau of printing and engrav-
Ing. Each press. with two operators,
moistens, prints, gums and rolls total
of 100000 postage stamps in an
eight-hour day, states an. article in
Popular Mechanics. The perforations
are made both lengthwise and across,
both the roll and the punches being
adjustable for position. One operator,
in front, takes care of the unwinding
roll and adjusts its path to the per-
forators by means of a screw. The
other operator. at the rear. regulates
the speed OF the machine and inspects
the finished work. Finally, the roll is
cut into sheets of 400 stamps each.

SHOWED SKILL AS ENGINEERS
Ancients Did Remarkable Work Con.
sidering the Limited Mechanical
Means at Hand.

That ancient Greek and Roman en-.
gineers were Ingenious as we'll as
skiIlful is proved by. the works that
ere still extant. for instance when the
Eupalinos, Island of Samos, water
works mentioned by Herodotus were
constructed In the middle of the Sixth
century b. c., tunnel about one mile
long was driven through the Kastro
mountain, certainly respectable
achievement when one considers the
limited mechanical means at the dis
posal of the builders. From the books
of the Alexandrian mathematician
Heron, one sees that ancient engineers
knew how to figure beforehand the
direction of tunnel. The fine medical
instruments, of which many have been
excavated, give evidence of high me-
chanical skill. Ancient instrument
makers manufactured clepsydras IVA
ter clocks) that could be carried in
pockets and devices used by Hero
philos to measure the temperature of
patients. The sent-day slot machine
and taximeter are limitations of sim
listic war machines ancient people ap-
piled ideas which play an important
part in modern warfare-the poly
bon being in certain meaning, the
predecessor of our repeating arms and
the "nlohankon,p of the mine thrower.

BURRoWED BY PRAIRIE DOG
sDeviPs corkscrews" Found in West
ern Mountains and Plains Are no
LoHoer Mystery.

OF the many fossils which have
come out of the mountains and plains
OF the West. few have excited wider
interest than the devils corkscreAvs."
found. in rocks of the Miocene period.
in northwestern Nebraska. They are
usually white. and stand out clearly
against the bun background ct the
rock which incloses them, often attain
ing a length of 10 feet, with many
twists and turns. ending at times In
large bulb. with occasional side pas
sages. tssafl
When first discovered il was Thought
that these gigantic "eorkscrews"l were
huge petrified vines of roots of SOME
strange plant. Study of the cork
screws" however, failed to reveal any
traces of plant structure. Later the
skeleton of an animal like the badger
was found In a large bulb near the
end of the "corkscrew." and bones Of
a small camel and small deer were
found in others. After that it was
discovered that many OF them con-
tanned bones of small burrowing
animal about the size of the western
prairie dog. Excavation of actual re-
cent prairie-dog burrows, after filling
them with thin plaster of paris,
showed an interesting fact: the bur-
rows of the, prairie dog and the pre-
historic "corkscfews" were closely SIM
liar. The mystery is considered
solved.

LEARNING BY EXPERIENCE

In presenting the school budget
for 192l-22 to the County Com
missioners, the Hartford County
Board OF Education makes a
lengthy statement OF the pressing
needs of the public schools in that
county. Last year the Board
suggested. after reviewing the
prospective needs OF the county
for building and equipment, for
term of years that bond issue
was the only possible solution OF
the problem. A large gathering
of taxpayers discussed the prof.
ect, and finally came TO the con-
clusion that it was inadvisable.
because OF the high cost of labor
and materials. at that time. to
spend large sums OF money for
buildings. The levy carried $23,-
600 for absolutely necessary inn
provements, and the statement
just made says to-day finds us
in a worse condition as to crowd
ed schools in some Of the larger
centers than at that time"
W. Beatty Harlan. president of
the Board OF Education. and Sec
rotary c. Milton Wright signed
the accompanying report of the
budget estimate printed last week
in the Hartford papers, The situa-
ton in Hartford is exactly that in
many other counties, where the
physical plant MUST be recon
structed, or the public schools
sadly neglected. Here are some
salient points in the Hartford
statement:
Public sentiment is demand
ing more and more each year in
public education. Never before
have we had such publicity of
the public school system and SO
much interest shown on the part
of the citizens of the State They
are not satisfied with conditions
as they were before and during
the war"
THE amount for teachers sal
aries is usually - to so per cent.
of a school budget Our
present salary schedule is
not sufficiently attractive to
secure and hold teac h er s
with adequate training. 1t is
not drawing enough trained
teachers into the service to fill va
cancies as they occur. Our policy
for the future is to fill our posi-
tions as fast as finances will per-
NIT with teachers whose profess
sional attitude and training are
of the highest possible standard.
A higher salary for the trained
teacher will be an incentive to
the mediocre teacher, holding a
lower grade of certificate, to i'm
prove herself by summer schools
and other studys and thus become
a better teacher. 1t will enable
us to fill the places of the teach
ers who will not improve them
selves with others better qualified
and with better professional at
titude."
But the teacher alone cannot
make a good school. She must
have satisfactory conditions for
work. supplies and equipment
must be provided, and the build
ings must be kept in proper CON
dition."
"First-class high schools with
special courses in manual train
ing, domestic science and agricul
ture, to accommodate the increas-
ing number of applicants for adj
mission, cannot be up to the
standard unless we are willing to
provide the necessary buildings
and pay the costs of necessary
teachers and equipment. CONSOLE
dated elementary schools. such as
are being demanded in various
sections, cannot be built without
an outlay OF considerable sums of

To part with one we loved so dear.
This life is one great sorrow
Which each one must share.

IN MEMORIAM

QUEEN-In sad but loving remembrance
Of my loving husband and grandfather,
LOUIS QUEEN. who departed this life
two years ago today. April %, 1919.
His Well remembered footsteps
We are listening for in vain,
And our eyes grow dim with watching
And our hearts are sad with pain.
Can we help but feel so lonely
When his voice we do not hear:
For no words were ever sweeter
Than the words he spoke so dear
A shadow rests upon our home.
We miss his well loved face:
Where'er we turn, where'er we look,
We see his vacant place.
Through all the pain at times he'd smile,
A smile Of heavenly birth.
And when the angels called him Home
He smiled farewell to earth.
BY his loving wife and grandchildren,
MARY. LOUIS. and
ELIZABETH QUEEN.

Our comment was that, THE
idea he advances. therefore, is not
the thought OF an enemy of the
public school system. but of one
of its strongest and most intelli-
gent supporters; nor is it from one
with any lack of knowledge of the
interests of the taxpayers or of
the children of the community
that is apt to beget wild or radi-
cal suggestion of reform AS a
general proposition. therefore, Mr..
Worthington's suggestion is en-
titled to the most thoughtful con-
sideration, and it will doubtless
come in for lively discussion in
making up the legislation in 1922.
"The objections, however, to
such plan are very apparent and
forceful. for high school education
has come to be considered as al
most as important part OF our
public school system as the pri-
mary grades. Taxpayers are no
longer satisfied with the bare
rudinents of education for their
children, but, in order to keep
pace with the times, they want
them to have the benefit of the
