THE PASSING OF THE HICKORY STICK.

The ultimate aim of supervision is the progress of the
child All school machinery exists that his growth may be
guided in the right direction That teacher greatest who
within the school the atmosphere Of freedom and
responsibility. That principal greatest who gives teachers
the freedom and who the largest growth
and sefmposed responsibility. That superintendent is
greatest who is most able to develop principals and
teachers and keep them free in their work with the
children That system Of city state supervision best
which fosters the finest adoption Of the schools in each local
community the highest needs and ideals of that COM
munity
Steady and substantial progress is being made in the
direction of wiser and wholesome methods OF hand
ling people, This is nowhere better illustrated than IN the
attitude toward the punishment of children The old
supervision through its system of punishmen sought to
enave he spirits of children The supervision seeks
to free them spiritually and Intellectually.
Modern supervision recognizes the simple principle
that children grow through their activity. 1t seeks
therefore to guide and direct their activity and not to re-
press it unnecessarily. Each school should be little
society in which the embryo citizen under simple and
guided conditions enabled make his mistakes and learn
his lessons from the exploitation and the penal
lies of selfish and competitive civilization Ii child is

mere verbal situations Progress made by don is and
stops Necessary these be at times they are not the
normal approach to growth, and JOY, and power.

Last OF Oyster
Pirates Gone
Buccaneers of Bivalve End
War Dating Back TO 1719
Down in Bay
STATE NOW CONTROLS
THE OYSTER BEDS

For the first time since the en-
aetment of laws more than two
centuries old for the preservation
of the oyster industry, pirate dredg-
ing crafts have been completely
driven from the planted beds Of
bivalves.
This finale to the buccaneers of
the oyster beds is written in the
report of the fleet of patrol boats
which now guard the forest of
stakes driven over the sea floor
of Delaware Bay from which New
Jersey receives an annual rental
of 25 cents an acre. 1t marks the
apparent ending of war which
existed since March 27, 1719, dur
ing which hundreds of lives were
taken while oysters were dredged
by right of cutlass and pistol and
later by high-powered rifles and
even small cannon mounted upon
the bows of fleet pirate sloops and
power boats.
According to the daily reports of
the patrol boat captains. the system
of guarding the beds of bay and
coves has been SO perfected by the
use of watch towers, searchlights
and penalties providing long peni-
tentiary terms, have driven the
pirates to other forms of theft or
leasing of beds from the state.
1t was early in the development
of Cape May that the attention of
the settlers was turned to the
cultivation of the oyster. The first
protective measure still on record,
is that of 1919. which sets out in
its preamble that oyster beds are
wasted and destroyed by strangers
and others at unreasonable times
of the year, the preservation of
which will tend to great benefit of
the poor people and others in
habiting this province"
1t was enacted, therefore, that
no person should rake or gather up
the oysters or shells from May 10
to September /, that non-residents
could not gather them up at any
time under forfeiting their vessels
as penalty. Appointments were
made to execute the provisions,
inspect oyster boats and seize any
man under suspicion" Jacob
Spicer and Aaron Leaning were ap-
pointed commissioners for Cape
May, while for Gloucester (now
Atlantic) county Richard Summers
and James Steelman were named.

A pineapple has been successfully
raised in South Jersey.
The Hawaiian staple has made
its debut in South Jersey sand in
the back yard of a Cedarbrook
home. 1t may become a regular
yearly visitor in the same back
yard.
Mrs. William c. Beebe, of Cedar
brook, shocked several agricultur-
lists of the section when she de-
eided last year to try and raise a
pineapple plant. Mrs. Beebe is
librarian by profession and not
farmerette-therefo her attempts
were looked upon as direct affront
to the soil-tilling sages of the sec
tion
But affront or no affront, the
pineapple experiment was under
taken. Mrs. Beebe placed the core

October bulletin, commenting upon

which, although slight, is signifi-
cant Various inducements and con-
cessions are still being offered to
prospective stenants, but this is
true mainly of old houses and
those without modern conveniences.
Clothing and fuel prices also
increased said the bulletin. "The
rise of 0.6 percent in clothing
prices was due to seasonal in
creases in the price of mems and
women's gloves, mems felt hats
and suits and coats. Small increases
occurred in the price ofcotton yard
goods. particularly bingham and
langcloth A seasonal increase of
06 percent in the price of coal
raised the fuel and light index
from 100 to 161. The increase in
the price of bituminous coal was
greater than that in the price of
anthracite. Gas rates declined to
the same extent. so that the index
number for light remained the
same as for July.

were for food and sundries. The
decline of or percent in the price
of food overbalanced the increase

Do not be afraid of laughing. No
woman ever looks old whose wrin-
kles are those little funny ones that
come and go about the eyes and the
long one that means an elongated
dimple.
Walk down the street these sum-
mer days, when the sun is stream,
down the hot pavement, and you
see tired faces, despairing faces,
suspicious faces, sullen faces, but
you rarely see a smiling face.
No one smiles when he is in any
way uncomfortable; it takes more
than negative pleasure to make
human beings smile.
The power to laugh is purely hui
man. No animal in all the world
can show the slightest smile. A dog
will whimper when he is hurt or
lonely, but he can not laugh when
he is amused.
Someone was speaking a while
ago to Charlie Chaplin, and he said
81 hope some day you will play
tragic role, because underneath
your greatest clowning there is al
ways a pathetic note. Somewhere
in your pictures l always get
lump in my throat"
Mr.. Chaplin smiled as he an
swered:
81 wonder why we decry the
comedian, and yet to make humans
chuckle and laugh is the hardest
thing in the world to do and to
make one weep is comparatively
easy.
"Our tear ducts seem to be al
ways on tap, but our risibles are
controlled by the least tractable of
all muscles.
''You know that someone has said
that an onion can make strong
man cry, but l have yet to find a
vegetable that will make him laugh
have you? 1t takes a human being
to do that"
The true lover of man will try to
plant smiles on the faces of every
one with whom he comes in contact

CHICAGO March 1.-Automobile
bus lines in the United States, operat-

total mileage of $1,000, or 46,76S
miles more than the combined total
Of all steam and electric railroads
Of the country. This was revealed
in a survey announced here by the
American Research Foundation.
Mileage of railroad lines in 1926
totaled 259.227 and the miles of elec-
trio lines was 46,S37," says the sur
vey. despite this difference. the
electric roads used many more buses
than did the railroads, although
both increased their bus operation,
and this was one Of the chief rea-
sons the great oil companies such as
Sinclair, Standard, and Texas have
decided to continue their program
for increased resources and pro-
duction of gasoline In 1927.
There were 21.S6s buses operated
by motor transport companies and
individuals in line service, and Of
these 500 busses we're being operated
by railroads and 1854 by the elec-
trio lines.
/ Motor trucks to the number of
45,417 were being operated In line
and terminal service for the ex-
their mileage being 611,921. OF these
only 81 trucks were being operated
