SUCCESSFUL SCHOOL LIFE
AND THE HOME

Education is a cooperative enter
prise. When the home turned over to
the trained school teacher the major
tasks of education it did not assume
the right to relinquish all of it's own
responsibilities.
Children live "a hours a day. Of
those hours not more than six or
seven are spent in the school. The
childhood or youthful mistakes that
result in tragedies seldom take place
in the classroom.
1t is true that school conditions do
sometimes wreck the life of boy or
girl but the real danger hours are
those over which the school has no
legal control.
The American home makes four
definite contributions to education.
First, upon the home rests the re-
sponsibility for assuring the mental
and physical health of every child be-
fore he enters the school. In many
cities physical examinations are
given to all primary children in the
summer months. "The pre-school ex-
animation soon will extend to mental
health because emotional maladjust-
ments which occur in later life have

VACATION TIME

While it is an undisputed fact that
a vacation is real need in the life OF
most persons in order to do better
work, yet it is also true that many
of us so abuse this annual period
that any benefit derived from a
change of scenery is overbalanced
through a misuse of time and
strength.
A vacation is, strictly speaking,
period of rest and leisure, not of do
ing a mad marathon from place to
place, losing sleep and rest and con-
sequently returning to work in a
worse state than before leaving.
1t depends chiefly upon what ones
daily task is as to what would be
real recreation period, restful and
benefcial; one accustomed to heavy
physical work naturally will want to
lie quietly in a hammock, or in some
other secluded nook seek rest and
strength. Persons of sedentary
habits and indoor life seek change
in outdoor sports, golf, tennis, swim
ming and other exercises, and herein
lies the danger of overriding over
taxing the body unaccustomed to the
change which, while undoubtedly of
benefit if persisted in, yet the period
of change is too short to be a genu-
inc benefit.
And so moderation would be the
wise course to follow in seeking the
rest; a change of scene, of environ
ment and occupation, will work
wonders if over-indulgence is not
part of the program. Eyes worn
with looking through rows of figures
will be more rested by viewing sun
set or sunrise than in reading; while
good book will be the ideal COM
panion for one whose mental fatigue
is less and who seeks forgetfulness
from endless planning of meals or
trying to make one dollar do the duty
of three.
Let us make every hour of vacation
time count by doing the things we
ourselves want to do, not doing some
thing because somebody else sug-
gested it, or finds pleasure in what
would be boredom to ourselves.
Let's make it a period of real rest.

CHINESE-RUSSIAN ROW.

The world will anxiously watch the
progress of the dispute between the
Chinese Nationalist government and
Soviet Russia.
Both governments are reported to
be massing troops in preparation for
possible hostilities, following seizure
of the Chinese Eastern Railway by
the Nationalists and expulsion of the
Russians who were participating in
the management of the road. Both
the Japanese Cabinet and general staff
have met to consider the incident, and
the Japanese government is said to
be prepared to send troops to Harbin
If war develops. The situation is such
that clash might easily be precipi-
tated.
The Chinese Railway has long been
an important factor affecting the
peace of the Far East. Built origin
ally by Russians, it has been operated
since 1924 jointly by Russians and
Chinese. The treaty providing for this
stipulated that the Russians were 10

ROADSIDE BEAUTY

There are nine out of 4S states
which have programs or roadside
Identification, and are trying by
planting trees, shrubs, flowers, and
grasses along the roadsides, to make
their tourist routes attractive to visl-
tors, and make their states beautiful
places to live in.
California, for instance, has 600
miles of roads that have been beauti-
fled in this way, and in addition many
of it's countries have forestry depart
ments that are working for roadside
improvement.
1t has commonly been customary, in
cutting forests that run along the
public roads, to strip down every tree
along these roads, and probably in
many cases the landowners would
take down trees along their land that
were inside the public highways. In
some localities now, the effort is made
to induce landowners to save few
trees along the roadways, so as to
preserve shade and beauty, and not
reduce these roadways to a track
through barren area.
In former years many people who
wanted to get rid of rubbish would
haul their junk out along some pretty
country road, and then dump it down
along the side thereof, where the pub
lie would see these accumulations of
old iron, broken down furniture, waste
paper and ashes and every sort of
litter. These people have done their
home localities a lot of injury.
Roadside Identification plans must
be practiced, and it is not desirable
to plant masses of shrubbery along
the roads which obscure the view of
motorists, or which in wet seasons
will interfere with the drying up of
roads. Many localities feel that mas
ses of bushes along the rbads are un-
desirable, and they send men out to
cut them down regularly, which may
be useful in many instances. But
handsome trees along a road never
do any harm, and the road that is well
lined with them is one which tourists
and residents like to visit.

INSPECTION OF POTATO
FIELDS FINDS 2l 0. K.
Nine Farms Fail to Pass Stan
dard of Inspection for Seed
CertificatiOn of Potatoes

Twenty-one farms out of 80 visit
ed in Garrett county last week by Dr.
R. A. Jehle, plant pathologist of the
University of Maryland, passed the
standard of inspection for seed certi-
fication of potatoes, according to j.
H. Carter, county agent, who accom-
panied Mr.. Jehle on the inspection
tour.
Out of the 21 continuing certifica-
ton work, 20 of them are All club
boys, it was stated. The total num-
ber of club boys making application
for certifcation was %, but two of
these were disqualified because their
seed plot was adjacent to diseased
field and one disqualified, leaving 20
members still in the contest.
The seed used by club members was
furnished free by the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad and has the reputation
of being the best seed that can be OBJ
tanned. This reputation was main
tanned by the results of the inspec-
ton, Mr.. Carter said, as not a single
plant was found to be affected with
virus diseases. Even the two plots
which were disqualified, he stated,
were free from disease.
DR.. Jehle has been inspecting pota-
toes in the county since 1927 and he
says that this is the first time he has
found any field in Garrett county free
from virus diseases, adding that the
boys have an excellent opportunity to
produce seed potatoes of high quality.
These potatoes, with record of
production, will be exhibited this fall
either at the Garrett county agricul-
tural fair, or at a special potato show,
at which prizes will be given. This
work is designed to teach the boys
how to produce quality and quantity
as well as grading and selecting ex-
hibits.
Garrett county can produce seed
potatoes equally as good in quality
as New York, Pennsylvania and
Maine," Mr.. Carter concluded, "and
this project deserves the support of
everyone interested in the welfare of
the county"

THE TREASURY SURPLUS

The 192S-'29 surplus OF Sl35,O00,-
900 was a grateful surprise to the
Federal Treasury, since at one time
earlier in the year a deficit of $780,
100000 had been feared. 1t is elo-
quent testimony to the abundance OF
national prosperity and to the con-
sequent ability of the revenues to re-
sist the effects of repeated tax reduc-
tions. In spite of the heavy cuts in
the tax revision of 1928 receipts prac-
tically equaled those of the preced-
ing year, while expenditures in
creased $2O4,OOO,OOO, largely because
of postal deficits and refunds, tax re-
funds, an initial government con-
tribution to the civil service retire
ment fund and similar veritable or
non-recurrent demands. Fifty-two
millions were required to meet Su-
preme Court award to the railroads
for underpayments of mail transpor-
tation. Except for this the surplus
would have been $237,000,000.
Income tax receipts as a whole in
creased $156,000,000 and individual in
come tax receipts increased $780,
100000, the 1928 reduction having
been confined mainly to corporation
income taxes and miscellaneous
nuisance" taxes. The public debt
was cut $673 100000 and is now be-
low 7,000,000,000 $54,000,000 was
saved in interest on the debt. This
years showing is the more notable
because of the fact that Treasury re-
ceipts from the sale of government
owned assets holding over from the
war, including money advanced to the
railroads, have dwindled to almost
nothing. Taking this shrinkage into
account and also the fortuitous char
acter of some of this years additional
expenditure, the 1928-'29 surplus COM
pares very favorably with the sur
pluses of recent years. Economy of
administration and drastic debt amor
tization have made many sweeping
tax rate reductions possible. The fl
nancial policy of the government for
the last eight years has been as ex-
traordinarily successful in results as
it was courageous and far sighted in
conception.
The size of the surplus and the as
surance of high income tax payments
in September and December have
started talk of further tax reductions,
says the New York Herald Tribune.
1t is too early, however, to take re-
duction in 1880 for granted. The test
will come when the first of the new
income tax payments are made in
March, 1880. If they show no diminu-
tion it will be feasible to consider
further curtailment of the tax on
earned income. From an economic
point of view such relief is desirable
and highly equitable, and it can easily
be given on scale to fit the appar-
ent excess of revenues. But this
problem will not become urgent before
next spring, and Congress will have
plenty of time to deal with it at the
long session.

their beginning in childhood" wrote
Selden Carlyle Adams, assistant di-
rector, National Education Associa-
ton, who further says:
"The family's second educational
duty is that of giving to the child
those basic life truths which need to
be learned before he starts to school
and which can be made much more
effective in the familiar shelter and
quiet of his own home than in the
more public atmosphere of the class
room.
"The family may we'll expect the
school to give the child the sense of
self discovery and of community free
dom, and to find, in the light of the
child's comparison with others, those
points in which he is different from
the average or. normal child. But
the school, in return, has a right to
expect the child to come to it with a
foundation of truth and information
on which to build.
"The third contribution of the home
consists in creating proper attitude
toward the school in the mind of the
child who is just entering the kinder
garten or primary grade. The time
worn belief that children dislike
school is rapidly passing away.
FINALLY, the parent whose child
has a fair chance in school is a par
ent who keeps himself informed of
the best things which the school has
to offer and who demonstrates to the
teacher and school administrator his
interest in all that is done for the
child. Parents ought to visit the
childs teacher just as regularly as
they go to physician and dentist.

CONTROL OF TREE PESTS
EXPLAINED IN ARTICLE
Insects Said to be Most Active
on Trees at This Time of Year

The Control of tree pests" is ex-
planned in an article appearing in
this months issue of the "News
Letter." a publication issued by the
Maryland State department of for
estry. The article follows:
"At this season of the year there is
always considerable interest shown
in the control of tree pests for it is
at this time that the activities of the
insects are most evident. Bagworms,
caterpillars, and aphids are quite
prevalent during these months and
their raids on shade trees and orna-
mentals are often viewed with great
alarm.
"While the number of insects is
legion and none but a specialist can
accurately describe the hundreds of
pests which are found, rough control
measures are rather simple to apply.
In recommending sprays for the con-
troll of various types of pests it is
necessary to determine first, the feed
ing habits of the insects. In general
it is possible to classify all insects
injurious to shade trees and orna-
mentals into four groups;-biting or
chewing insects such as the cater
pillars; sucking insects such as the
scale insects; and aphids, and the
wood borers.
"The chewing insects can usually
be controlled by spraying with some
variety of poison, usually arsenate of
lead. A safe solution of arsenate of
lead for shade trees consists of 3 lbs.
of powder to 100 gallons of water.
"For sucking insects it is necessary
to apply some form of contact spray
or in the case of scale insects an oil
solution. The favorite contact spray
is nicotine sulphate or Black Leaf 40.
This spray is commonly applied at
the rate of q pint to 100 gallons of
water with 6-8 lbs. of cheap soap add
ed as a spreader.
"Miscible oils may be purchased
under various trade names and ap-
piled under directions for the control
of scale and aphids. These forms of
sprays are often injurious to the
trees and should be applied only with
great care.
'Tree borers are very difficult to
control because of their habits of
feeding on the wood of the tree. A
deterrent, which has been recommend
ed for this type of insect, is pre-
pared as follows: Dissolve one gal
Ion of soft soap in six gallons of
saturated solution of washing soda.
add one pint of carbolic acid, and
slack lime in four gallons of water
to make thick white wash, add one
half lb. of Paris green, mix thorough
ly and apply.
"To be effective, sprays should be
applied early in the season. While
there are many types of insects not
easily controlled by the above sprays.
the greater variety of injurious pests
will be destroyed if the application is
timely and thorough"

was added to the systems of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
companies in the District of Column
bia, Maryland, Virginia, and West
Virginia. This is an increase of SO
percent over a similar period last
year and is the greatest increase in

telephones, an increase of lat percent.
Nearly sixty-five percent of the tele-
phones gained were in homes.

Raising Ones Child

Modern parents need have no concern about
rearing offspring in this enlightened day.
Once they safely have brought the youngster into
the world the parents obtain all the advice they
need about its upbringng.
For its babyhood days there are booklets galore
telling about what it should be fed and when, how it
should be allowed to sleep and what to give it when
it walls in the night.
The only practical difficulty facing the parent Is
to crowd into baby's brief years the many helpful
hints that have been prepared for its welfare.
AS the years roll along and the youngster treads
the path toward manhood, the number OF helpful
hints for the parents Parent magazines re
published to impart information on how the myS-
teres of life are to be explained to the budding flower
of the human race
Questions which in the good old days were banned
as subjects which parents should avoid, now are
answered in the booklets-so that any parent how
ever modest can enlighen the child and oftentimes
himself.
We find no fault. Let the child be informed But
we warn the parents to educate themselves as WELL
:. they will he old-4ashioned before they are 35.

Citizens Without Rights

There are many commendable things which con-
gress might do before it adjourns March d. but none
of them more commendable, we believe, than to pass
the resolution authorizing the President to grant
general amnesty and restoration Of civil rights to
1900 citizens convicted during the World War of
alleged ant-governmental activities not involving
violence.
Every war brings action against those non-con-
formists who oppose the governments course. But
as war hysteria recedes it is the custom of civilized
nations to grant amnesty The United States is one
of the last in the world to take this STEP following
the World war;
Little opposition has greeted the resolution. Even
the professional patriots have not fit to oppose
it, Committees of the house and senate should speed
this generous and just act.

TRACY
SAYS:
"A Foreign Policy Is
Like O LaaU-No Good
Unless Enforced"

HOUSTON, Tex, March 1S.-The
l. Il plot thickens as Gales pushes
on. A Yaqui general deserts the
rebel cause, taking 1900 men with
him. Mountaineers rush forward to
fill their places. The mountaineers
are more than welcome, no matter
what they seek. Whether for loot,
or patriotism, Torreon must be de-
Tended, since it contains the only
munitions plant in Mexico.
What began as a well-ordered de-
lection from the Mexican army is
degenerating into rabble. Gales
will have to move fast not only to
crush this rebellion before it gets
web under way, but to prevent a
recurrence of banditry.
General Manzo, western leader of
the revolution, says it is not a mill
tary uprising in the accepted sense.
Admitting that, what is it but a
military uprising?
Let us not be too particular about
words, the point being that this
mess was Matched in the Mexican
army. The excuse that it was juSti-
fled by the unconstitutional" con-
duct of former President Gales Is
quite too thin for comment. Moth
ing can be more unconstitutional
than the mutinuy of regularly en-
listed officers and men.
