Annual Report of Board of

F; Took Tests Last Year.

One out of every two persons TAX
ing prescribed examination for teach
erships in the public school system
makes satisfactory grade, sit is re-
vealed in the annual report of the
board of examiners, made public to-
day as the sixth section of the an
nual report of DIR. Frank w. Bal
lou. superintendent of schools.
The statistics. as compiled by the
board of examiners for the first nine
divisions and the board for the tenth
thirteenth divisions covering the fis-
cal year ended June 80 last, shows
that out of S76 men and women who
took either regular or special eXami-
nations. exactly 425 of them passed.
II is shown that the average is
less than $3.50 in the white schools
where 275 passed out of 628, but
greater in the colored schools, where
$50 passed out of 24S. making a gen
eral average Of approximately one out
Of two.
Number Falls Off
Observation is made by Harry Eng
lish, chief examiner. that there was
a decided falling off in the number
of those taking examinations during
the past fiscal year because of the
small number of appointments dur
ing the year.
A detailed perusal of the report
shows that applicants for positions
as teachers in special subjects have
an exceptionally high qualifying aver
age. Out Of II who took the art
examination last December, it is
shown, all received a passing mark.

Cooking by Exhaust

A mechanic Of Columbus, Ohio, has
invented a device by which motorists
may now utilize the exhaust from
their motors to cook their camp
suppers. says the Scientific Amer
lean. The contrivance uses small
petcock to close the exhaust pipe. A
pipe connection is fitted to the ex-
haust manifold and joins with round
circular burner. This burner Is pro-
vided with circular ribs, to prevent
exhaust flames from jumping. SINH
lar ribs are built to the bottom Of pots
and frying pans to obtain a maximum
Of heat. When the motor is idle the
exhaust heat is forced through the
burner. Sufficient heat Is generated
for any outdoor cooking.

Should Spread Lesson
Learned in Sanctuary

When the poet wrote the often
quoted line which tells US that the
groves were Gods first temples, he
did not intend to provide an athlete
with an apt quotation to serve as an
excuse for not attending church. The
offices and ceremonies Of formal re.
ligion are compatible, and not in con.
flict, with an intense delight In open
spaces and e healthy appetite for the
wilderness country.
Any man who has combining EN-.
ployment knows moments when his
mind plays truant to his task, when
instead Of the decimal places, the ac-
count books, the dictated letters, the
conferences and board meetings, his
fancy takes a long flight to the
marshes where ducks are to be hunt
ed, the streams where fish await the
angler, the bride path for a swift can
ter, the mountain whose ascent is in
MIGRATING exercise crowned with far
vista, the sea where voyage spells
relaxation and day-dreaming in q
steamer chair.
Each man has In mind a favOrite
sanctuary whittier he flies, a camp of
refuge where he can retire, beyond all
foes or wounds or mishaps. They
cannot hurt me where live" said the
captain Of industry in Kipling's story,
when his business rivals and their i'm
portunities crowded in upon him. The
real self of any human being at a
given moment may be far from the
self that the world sees. We may be
poor in the houses and the lands that
can be parceled and marketed as real
estate, yet rich to the point of lOrdli-
ness In those interior demesnes whose
map is invisible to- all eyes but our
own.
Yet after any retirement to these
Businesses where We may rest and re-
fresh ourselves and be secure, we are
bound to come forth to the world
again with something for those who
are less fortunate. 1t means little in
accomplishment for ourselves, in last
ing benefit for others, if we merely
dream and ruminate. The thinking
we have done ought to issue in a deed a;
the rest should be the renewal Of our
energy to go forth to active life and
fruitful effort again--Philadelphia

The success and rapid expansion of
the Naylor Printing Company, 210
East Pecan street. is due TO satisfac-
tory service rendered its customers
and a strict adherance to a policy of
depeldability. The firm made it a
practice from the start TO assist Gus
toners in the preparation Of copy for
printing forms and the policy Of help
ing the client accomplishes the pur-
pose for which each piece Of printing
is intended. 4 steady increasing clieu-
tele is evidence of good treatment.
The Naylor Printing Company is
well and favorably known for its de-
pendable service on all classes of
printing used in modern business.
This consists of miscellaneous office
and factory forms. special ruled blank
books. loose leafs. ledger sheets, spe-
cisl binding. booklets, catalogs, pub
LEGATIONS and direct-by-mail advertis-
ing. Engraving and enclosing is a
large part Of their business.
PULLING POWER.
Naylor believes that while deliver
ing the job on time is the popular
conception of service-that this is not
