BAROMETER HAM :. LOSES ITS POWER
Part of a Pig Solidiiying Despite
 Weather

Tolleshunt Darcy, (Essex), Eng Aug. IS. CUP).-A little pig that vent to market S5 years ago and never came back has thrown this village into turmoil.
 It all came about in this way. The pig was. given the parents of F. H. Emeny. inn keeper as a wedding present, and promptly wN butchered.
 Mrs. Emeny, staunch church. goer, suggested it should be eaten at christenngs Of their children Fmeny rebelled at first since he was only mildly religious, but in the end Mrs, Emeny won. AS each child was -chistened a ham was eaten. At the birth of the last, a son, Emeny won and it was not christened. Neither was the last ham eaten and years later it. was discovered to be an excel lent barometer.
 Villagers felt the ham before planning picnics. If it was soft, rain was in prospect; sunny weath- CT could be expected if the ham was firm.
 Of late, however, the ham has slowly been solidifying. An Ameri- can has offered to provide a new barometer but Emeny so far has declined He is guarding the ven- erable joint zealously, hoping but douhttro it's r1vefir mowers will re- turn.

 For more than an hour, the visi- tor. whose name was not learned. insisted on relating in a loud voice the situation in his household which he wanted the mayor to relieve. He has been supporting a boarder for more than a year and he felt that the city should compensate him for the expense or put the man to work.
 Wants to See The Boss" Secretary William Fay told him several times that there was nothing the mayor could do in the case and at any rate he would be obliged to wait until conferences in the private office were concluded to state his ca e This did not satisfy him, however, and he berated the secretary, telling him he was not the boss" I'm go- ing to see tha boss in there" he de- clared, indicating the private office.

 For a few minutes 1t appeared as though the man might give the sergeant some trouble, as he did not want to leave, but the sergeant ad- vised him to go outside where he would listen 10 his tale and aradu- ally he escorted him as far as the stairway. Here the man caught hold of the elevator cage and 1t was nee essary for the sergeant to break his hold and push him down the stairs.
 Reaching the street. the sergeant stayed around the entrance for a few minutes and saw to it that the unruly one made no attempt to re- turn.

New England School Superinten- dents Told That Children Waste Time on Things (Which Don't Natter

Boston, Nov. 1 4 (UP)-Too much time is spent in childhood in learn ing things which don't matter, Donald F. Rose, editorial writer of the Phila adelphia Public Ledger told meeting of the New England As sociation of School Superintendents at the state house today.
 Roses topic was How Can the Curriculum of the Elementary Schools be Improved?" He was fol- lowed by President John A. Cous- ems of Tufts college who spoke on the problems of secondary schools.
 q believe" Rose said, that an appalling amount of time is spent in childhood in learning things which will never be needed, and do- ing silly tricks which an intelligent man need never waste his time up- on. l think VIC underestimate the importance Of the short cut in elc- mcntary education'
 Rose advocated "house clean ing" of the curriculum.
 Should Train Judgment
 q think that training in judg- ment. even in the elementary school, is much more important than arith- metic and geography and science put together" the speaker asserted. Rose said if he were teaching a seventh grade geography class he would throw all the prescribed geographies out of the window and instruct his class by use of a geograp phical globe and a newspaper.
 "I should make no pretensc Of teaching systematic geography be- cause it is actually useful only 10 shipping clerks and round-the-world fliers," he declared.
 He added that he might follow much the same course if he were teaching history and start his pu- pills with present day happenings.
 President Cousens told the super intendents that students in their first college year are expected to do only what they have been doing in the secondary schools. He held that the secondary schools should furnish the students with the essential tools with which to meet the problems of every day life.
