Teachers Need Basic Principles

Teacher training institutions spend
too much time telling teachers what
to do and too little time instilling
the fundamental principles of educa-
ton, according to DR.. Frank A. But
Ter, associate professor of education,
at the Pennsylvania State college.
INSTEAD of telling future teachers
how to make assignments, how to
ask questions, how to gain attention,
how to take attendance, and how to
seat pupils, we should give them
such basic principles as the need for
a goal, emphasis on individual diff
ferences, indignation of subjects, and
the importance of education as
growth" DR.. Butler said today.
Given native intelligence and a
pleasing personality, teachers can
be taught the science of education
as they can be taught to drive car,
he said. Criticism of our teacher
training centers and evidences of
poor teaching in the public schools
show the need for a change in en-
phasis in educational courses, he be-
lieves.

AN OPEN LETTER
FOR STATE SENATOR

Der Of the House of Delegates few
years ago. The bill, while intro
duced In the State Senate as local
measure, In reality was sponsored by
a large Sand and Stone Company,
which contemplated getting large
part Of the money through the sale
OF Gravel, Sand and Cement. The
part ! played In favor of the school
teachers OF Cecil county, as well as
In favor of the fishermen, Is also
well-known to hundreds OF our
citizens.
l am still unafraid to fight for the
taxpayers, and will do SO.
My motto Is, keep down nom
essential spending and save tax
payers money" which should result
In lower State and County taxes.

Louis Binger

One of the founders of the French
Sudanese empire was Louis Gus
tave Binger (1856-1936), an Afri-
can explorer born in Strassburg,
France. He was the first European
to explore Kong and disproved the
accepted theory that there were
mountains in that region. In 1887
he started from Bamaku, explored
Sikaso, visited Baromo and Waga-
dugu in 1889 and reached Grand
Bassam in 1889. Binger was respon-
sible for placing Tieba, Kong, and
Boutuku under French protection.
In recognition of his work as pio-
neer in those lands, the French gov
eminent made him commissioner
for the settlement of Ashanti bound
aries with England in 1892. He was
named governor of the French terri
tory on the Ivory Coast from 1893 to
1896 and was director of the French
colonial department from 1896 to
1908.

INDIAN SUMMER

Each year in the Autumn, usually
after that period of frost and slight
cold which is called ''sQuaw winter
by some folks, the sun comes back
with renewed vigor to shine bright
ly and warmly more than usual at
this time of year. There is nothing
quite as soothing and lovely as the
touch of this brief season. AS we
search back for the origin OF Indian
summer we see where Indians OF
years ago were not famous as farm
ers. They were apt to put on the
chores of harvesting and cultivating
until the last possible minute and
sometimes they were so late they
lost their crops. But often they
waited until that period OF Indian
summer and during these mild days
gathered grains and fruits and per-
formed the tasks they had post
poned until almost too late. Thus,
by having a time when nature seem
ed to give them another chance,
this holding-off time became known
as Indian summer. Today we re-
ceive the same blessing of sunshine
and warm haze that encourages
us to seek outside recreation, roam
the country side and enjoy the feet-
ing hours before winters blast and
blare makes us seek the stove. A
charming season it is, respite from
work when we relax and contem-
piate the beauty offered in nature.

TOUGH ON THE TAxPAYING
MASSES
BY J. E. Jones

WdSHlHStOH, ~. W., Inc OOHSfeSS
seems to be in fog as 1t votes taxes,
and new taxes on the people--that
they never will be able to pay.
A brief item in the newspaper
report that the Senate has "tenta-
lively approved individual income
tax rates which would impose upon
individual taxpayers the highest levy
in the country's history"
These normal and surtaxes rise to
a total of about 10 per cent on the
first dollar of taxable income, with
the levy graduated up to $50 on
surtax net incomes in excess of
$4,000.
The so-called Victory tax and the
general Federal sales tax are COM
peting for favor in both Houses of
Congress and the Victory tax seems
to be few PAGES in the lead.
No one seems to know how ter
rife onslaughts on incomes and saw
ings can be met. Nevertheless, the
high Government official who spoke
out of turn received slap on the
wrist" when he opposed spending
billions of dollars for purposes and
schemes that have nothing to do
with winning the war.
But perhaps he had toured Wash
ington, ID. G. He likely saw the Pen
tagon building which is intended to
house 10000 Government officials
and clerks, and he may have looked
at new War and Navy monstrosities
that are SO big the public can't un-
derstand how they can be used.
Anyhow, the news of the moment
is that battle lines" are forming
on Capitol Hill to oppose increasing
individual income tax rates and
cuts in exemptions to reach z billion
more taxpayers.
Everybody, even the Congress
men, seem to feel sure there will be
the biggest defaults in the history of
America when 1912 taxpaying time
comes around.
The Washington Post makes a
guess that coupled with the COM
pulsory savings" the new controls
that have just been set up may
possibly be made to work, but this
outstanding newspaper says: yet
further income taxes on low as well
as high incomes seem out of place"
From that point the Post switches
to argue in favor of general sales
tax, perhaps because most of it
could be collected.
Indiana Innocent Abroad
Wendell Willkie is the most con-
spicious Yankee abroad since Mark
Twain was hero in 1.-THE Innocents
Abroad. In Russia, Mr.. Willkie
demanded second 'front.'. In
China he observed that the leading
Democrats should stand up for
the freedom of others after the
war is over, eand be counted. He
wants all people to be free to gov
ern themselves /. II think we've
got to pin this idea in our hats and
look at it often, he observed.
He told a press conference in
Chungking that he would say what
1 damn we'll please" in making public
statements.
Evidently he isn't rejecting the
views of President Roosevelt who
told his press men that Mr.. WILKES
views on a second front were not
worth reading because they were
purely speculative. That may be in
terpreted to mean that Wilkes
words "were his own and not neces-
sarily those of his sponsor"
There is a wide difference of opin-
ion in Washington over Willkie,
while he keeps the limelight.

RAT1oN1NG SPEED AND HEAT

Thirty eastern anu hoiIH eon'i"'
states, extending the length OF the
Atlantic coast and westward to In

Kansas, are praying for warm
winter. For all houses heated by

ed as to keep the thermometer uI
to only IS degrees. Those who could
have converted to coal-burners ano
didn't are threatened with mo OIL
Oil rationing took lot OF fgur'
ing by the Price Administrator
First, since Maine needs more heal
than Florida, the rationed states are
divided into four heat zones, bas'
ed on weather reports for the ias'
AZ years. Then degree days, to be
applied in rationing individual
houses, were calculated by studying
the weather charts of each commun'
ity. They are the average number
of days in the heating season multi
oiled by the number OF degrees OF
heat required to raise the temper
ature of a house from the average
outside temperature to 65 degrees
Rationing begins Oct. 10. Fue

filed on October 1, and in applying
for ration coupons-on forms sup
Piled by their dealers-they are re-
uuired to furnish an inventory OF
oil on that date; state (from deal
er's figures) the amount OF Oh
bought last year, and give the hooi
area of all the rooms in the house
to be heated. Then, says OPA, per-
centage of last years Consumption
adjusted to normal and a heat loss
formula based on the floor area will
be used to fix the ration. 1t SOUNDS
like higher mathematics, but, We
are told. it works out that those
who have raised the thermal efilclen'
CIV of their houses (by weather strip
ming, storm windows, etc. will SUI
fer a smaller cut, while neglected
drafty houses will suffer more than
a cut of one third.
But the shivering East and Mid
West are not without a hope OF i'm
proyement. Right now the East
needs, 100000 barrels of oil
week and is getting about 1,O0O,O0o
But with the pooling of all petrol
cum supplies and terminal facilities
which has been ordered, it is hgur-
ed that shipments will mount to
the needed 100000 barrels. And
with the completion of the Texas
illinois pipe line in December they
will rise more.
Rubber Director VIM. M. Jeffers
acting with Defense Transportation
and Price Administration, ordered
Nationwide rationing of gasoline tc
go into effect about November ~
and at the same time called on all
state governors to clap on a 30
mile an hour speed limit. Mr.. JEFF
fers, promising to try to provide
rubber for essential civilian driv-
ing needs, called on all drivers to
ration their own driving until the
program is got under way. Ration
ing is to be on the basis OF driving
1850 miles a year but drivers do
not have to use all their rations
Cutting speed to 35 miles an hour,
or less, said Mr.. LETTERS, kills two
birds with one stone"-it gives more
miles per gallon for your gas, and
40 per cent more miles on present
tires.
