Washington, ID. C.-Expansion in
coal production during the past week,
the geological survey reported,
brought the rate of output to a point
approaching adequacy" but still

total output of 12.500.000 tons, of
which 10000 tons was anthracite
and the balance bitaminous coal. This
total is greater than production in
Ally week since the settlement OF the
national strike last summer.

Three firemen were injured when

Habit Of Smoking.

one Of the best boys camps In Maine,
has studied human nature In both
boys and men. and knows just what
10 expect Of people. The mother OF
a boy at his camp noticed that sew
eral OF the instructors smoked and
she wondered IL this wasn't setting a
bad example to growing boys. Mr.
Morgan replied. remarks Golfers:
''Regardless Of what we may think
about the proprlety of smoking, we
are obliged to recognize the fact that
the majority Of active men do smoke.
II you select instructors who do not
smoke you limit your field and may
have 10 do without other desirable
qualities. Or IL you ask men accus-
toned to smoking suddenly TO change
their habits and do without tobacco
for two months, the chances are that
they will slip away and smoke when
nobody is looking. The boys are
bound TO learn of this and then they
have the example OF men doing things
on the sly, which Is infinitely more
harmful than the example OF smoking
would be. don't care anything about
smoking myself, but do light olga.

The Teaehlno Spirit.

One of the most important things a
training school can do Is to get teach
ers into the spirit Of their jobs. Train.
ing schools cannot send out teachers
imbued with the spirit of their jobs,
having pride in their profession, and
a belief in teaching as life career
unless they develop Low and con.
secration to their work. II Is the
lack of this spirit which is responsible
for the unwillngness OF young teach,
ers to do the work OF the rank and
file, and diplomas should be refused
those who lack it.--Principal Olive
Jones, New York city.
