The Modern School
THE MODERN SCHOOL AND ITS
PUBLIC
By Emery Asbury
President, Washington Educational
Association

Nowhere else in the world is the
school so close to it's public as in Amer
lea. It really is part of the commun-
ity life, or rather, one of the ways in
which the community functions. Let
us think of the community as great
factory. The product is human happi-
ness and every worker desires to in
crease and make better that product.
They take time, therefore, to set aside
a portion of the shop for the train
ing and guidance of the young They
are not content, however, that the
youth only copy the methods of their
elders. Theirsschool must be sort Of
laboratory where new thoughts may
generate new ways of doing things,
in order that human happiness may
be increased at greater economy.
In such a factory, no one would
dream of having the improvements
kept secret from the adult workers. AS
the laboratory finds new or improved
way to produce happiness, every worker
should be instructed in it so that ben
eflts can be immediate and universal.
The modern school is close to it's
community. 1t depends on taxation of
course for it's very existence. 1t Graves
it's gifts, however, as the beggar in
the Vision of Sir Launfal; it wants the
giver with his gift. Too often the world
within the light brick walls is strange
to the taxpayer on the street. He has
general feeling that schooling is
something sacred, yet apart from the
bustling life of the world, like some
cathedral altar. This is far, far from
the truth. If the public puts dam of
difference in front of it's school door,
the water Of the spring will stagnate.
Teachers and parents alike want youth
to walk naturally into school and out
again into the world with no sense of
change of atmosphere. This can
only come to pass if there is the closest
bond of sympathy and understanding
between the school and it's public
There lies on the shoulders of every
man and woman, therefore, profound
duty. This business called school Il
not apart but a part of their lives
Largely as the school is progressive
will their community be able to raise
it's level. Forward-looking men and
women will march shoulder to Shout
der with the teachers in the crusade
for more human happiness-the goal
of all social effort.

Spray Demonstration
To Be Given Soon

Because of the fact that growers at
meetings last winter requested that
spray demonstration meetings be held
later in the season, second series Of
spray demonstration meetings will be
held probably the third week of this
month. At this time apples should be
large enough to check the degree of
coverage, and information on moth
traps will be available so that these
may be used as basis of determin-
ing the spray problem. More time will
be given to each community than was
given at the last series of meetings.
Definite dates for these meetings
and places at which they will be held
will probably be given in next weeks
paper Notices will be sent to orchard
lists by letter.

LABOR AND ROAD BUILDING

recently completed study of the New Jersey
Contractors Association shows that 76 cents out
of every dollar spent for road work goes to labor.
Thirty-four cents is paid to labor directly the
pro- ect and AZ cents indirectly through the trans
portation and manufacture Of supplies and equip
ment.
The experience of other states has been similar
which explains the efforts being made to expedite
road building during the time of unem-
ployment 1t is interesting to note, in this con-
nection that more Of the road dollar goes to labor
when comparatively inexpensive highways-of the
"road-mx' type-are constructed than in the
case of main highways. Furthermore, the road dol
lar goes much further from the standpoint of the
community, inasmuch as the cost of the former
type is but 10 20 per cent of that of the latter
The most fertile field for the road builder lies
in rural localities. For very small cost per mile,
frst-class allweather roads can be built connect
ing farms and towns with existing main highways
and those secondary roads carry fguratively
speaking, constant stream of dollars to the towns
and farms reached. They bring tourists off the
beaten path, stimulate small town BUSINESS make
it possible for the farmer to take his goods to
market or shipping points at the most advanta-
geOus time. The nation secondary roads are the
nations ''food' roads-and that word is good
measure Of their Importance.

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Just few lines, as we want to re-

The weather is fine and dandy now
and all are we'll but me. am just
getting over an attack of lumbago, but
am lots better now.
The children all go to school every
day. School won't be out until the
middle part of June. Am sending q
clipping out of the Evelth paper about
my surprise birthday party We have
lovely neighbors.
On April II I was baptized and joined
the Methodist church. Groceries are
sure cheap. Eggs are IL cents, creamery
butter 20 cents, other things accord
ingly, lard cents.
Each Thursday night they give away
five lamps at the theatre. $11OO table
electric lamps I have won two. One
is yellow with yellow shade, the
other is brown with a blue shade.
They are extra large, we'll worth $ll.00.
We have just got us new velvet
rug for the living room and weSSQso
have a piano now. I started me ar
afghan about the middle of Febru-
airy and have it almost done. The wool
alone in it will cost 5000 or probably
more.

Dairy Situation Can Be
Improved By Farmers

A review of the general dairy STU
alton and the market outlook for last
fall seems to indicate that many are
not at all sure as to what the situ-
alton is going to be. While there has
been a shortage in national butter
holdings, yet to many the situation
does not look overly bright for big
improvement next fall.
If the above picture is the true
situation it would seem that the only
way out for many of our dairymen is
to cut the cost of production of dairy
products if this can be DONE We know
there are many dairymen of the county
who depend upon purchased feeds for
everything except the hay. In some
cases no additional feeds are given
other than hay Under either of these
conditions it will be more costly to
produce butter fat than where large
part of the complete dairy ration can
be produced on the farm and unques-
tioningly SO where a good dairy ration
is fed.
Tt is not too late yet to make ar
rangements for that winter succulent
crop. Probably the farmer who needs
this the most is the man who does
not have a silo and hence silage is
quite largely out of the question.
Squash or fall feeding and roots, par
ticularly in the form of carrots for
winter and early spring feeding can
still be produced. Tonnage of both OF
these crops runs high, if the crops
are given even reasonable fertiliza-

Whale With Teeth

Some species of whale, including the
sperm whale and members Of the dol

The sperm whale has 20 to 26 teeth on
each side of the lower jaw, up to four
pounds in weight; the upper jaw has
eight pairs Of smaller teeth.

ton.
Why not give some land to the pro-
duction Of one or both of these crops
this year? They can be taken care of
on most farms by farm labor. If there
is no appreciable rise in price next
fall then the dairyman will be in bet
ter shape to meet competition. If a
very appreciable rise should come he
should be in just that much better
position to recuperate losses which
have been made in the past.

and proven false.
1t was shown that rs cents of
every school dollar spent in Key
West for current exepnses, goes
directly for the instruction of
children.
Last year the average school in
the United States spent $71.79 on
each child, while the Key West
school spent $23 on each child. In
other words, for each dollar spent
on a Key West child, the average
school spent 1912.
During the business session, a
discussion on the needs of the
school library was entered into. 1t
was recommended that the associa-
ton direct some effort toward in
creasing the number of books. A
Christmas message from the ma

Gives Status OF Fees
Among County Officers

County officers who have COM
pletely earned fees, even though
they are not paid when they leave
their offices at the expiration of
their terms, shall be paid when
possible.
This is the gist of an opinion
given by Cary D. Lands to Comp
troller Ernest Amos in reply to a
question asked by Mr.. Amos.
A completely earned fee, writes
the attorney general, is a fixed
obligation against the county and
is payable when the county gets
the funds.
However, it must be understood
that completely earned" means
! just what it implies. Where an
officer has done something, but
there must be something else done
in the future, such fees will
go to the party in office at
the time the act rs completed,
which natures the fee, the letter
