ton That He Is "UnfriendIy
to Education"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press

Pollard yesterday called attention to
the fact that the appropriation for
education was the only item substan-
TALLY increased in the budget bill, car
rying appropriations amounting to $685.
100000 for the next biennium.
Lamenting that the teachers call me
unfriendly to education" the Governor
pointed to the $500,000 additional ap-
preparation for education which he
recommended for equalization and the
100000 to be divided among all the
public schools during the coming two
years, and asserted: Since 1 have
been Governor appropriations for edu
cation have been increased by an ac-
crued total of S2,700,O00."
State budgets for the biennium now
closing and the recent budget bill, to
which he has just affixed his signature,
substantiate this assertion.
The bill just signed carries general
fund appropriations for the first year
of approximately Sl7,700,000 and ST.
100000 for the second year. Special
revenue appropriations total approx
mately S48,000,000, and funds received
by institutions which do not pass
through the State treasury, amount to

TINE most popular pear for canning
is the Bartlett pear. 1t has
delicate flavor, smooth texture

portion of sugar is one-fourth
pound to one pound Of fruit. Both

halves. They can be in quarters, when
portions of pears have to be cut away.
All such pears should be kept separate,
and the smaller portions be put in one
jar or more as required, but not pe
mixed with the larger portions.
A good syrup in which to cook the
pears is made of one pound of sugar
and one quart of cold water. Bring
to boiling point and put the pieces
of pears into the syrup. Simmer gentiy
until they can be pierced with FORK.

Everyday Psychology

Mind and Matter.

There are all sorts of descriptions OF
personality. That's because there are all
sorts of personalities. The best de-
scription of personality is that which
employs the word force" So per-
sonalities are forceful or weak in thou
sands of ways and many more thou
sands Of situations.
The average man, who knows moth
ing about personality from an academic
point of view, knows very well what
personality is from another point OF
view If this were not so, how does it
come that SO many people believe that
mind can work on matter?" They
know very well that they have met per-
sonalities that quickly caused them to
do things they had never thought they
would. Still unaware of Just how it
all happened, they go away saying that
mind rules the world of matter. and

be any matter in the world if you

1T is not for nothing that Reddy
Fox is regarded as one of the
II smartest of all the people who

Reddy is smart. Yes sir, Reddy is
smart. He has need to be. A Fox who
is not smart never lives to old age.
Indeed, he seldom lives to grow up.
Taking note of little things and not
forgetting them is important for every
body, but especially so for one of
Reddy's family. Reddy is wonderfully
expert in this. Eyes, ears and nose are
constantly working, and nothing is of
such seemingly little importance as to
be overlooked. 1t is in this way that
he learns much about his neighbors
and their affairs. 1t would surprise
some of them to learn how much Reddy
does know about them.
1t was early in June that late one
afternoon Reddy left the Old Pasture
and entered the Green Forest. He had
nothing special on his mind. He was
not headed for any place in particular
He was simply out for what he might
find where he might happen to roam.

others astir. He met Unc' Billy Pos
sum, who grinned at him from the
top of a stump. Over on the bank of
the Laughing Brook he came face to
face with Bobby Coon. They were most
polite to each other Each inquired
after the health of the other and then
went on about his own business.
Presently Reddy came to a quiet lit

usual, he stopped and stood perfectly
