would the enclosed be of any
interest to your page?" writes Mrs.
P. l.. Snyder. We found the arti-
Gle so interesting we are yielding
it our space this week.
School Teaching 1890 Type.
Revealed By Two Old Ledgers.
In the 1S40's when economists
turned their attention to budget
balancing, the school teachers had
no occasion to worry; they were
not on the county payroll.
At least that is the impression
we gather from two general ac-
count books of the late Caleb Dur
dette, now in the possession of his
son, Robert Burdette of Mt. Airy.
Started in 1912 and 1847, the two
ledgers throw some light on the
prices and values of time and ma
terials fiearlyi one hundred years
ago.
Although originally intended as
record eof his scholars, the two
ledgers contain complete account
of the business transactions Of Mr..
Burdette over a period Of some
years. Everything is found therein,
from problems of the most difficult
type to the daily enrolment at
Browningsville School.
Leafing through the pascs, of
the ancient ledger, the legibIe
clearcut penmanship of Mr.. Bur-
dette, then in his early twenties,
stands out in bold relief. For his
services as an instructor the schol-
ars, averaging about thirty, paid A
cents per day. The schoolmaster
commanded a salary Of approx
mately $1.00 per day, the account
books show.
Among Mr.. Burdette's scholars,
names now familiar in the upper
Montgomery section stand out
prominently. Daily the following
responded to the roll call: La
fayette Day, Harriette Browning,
Nathan J. Burdette, Luther f. H.
Browning, Margaret A. Afurdum,
James E. Day, Rachel B. Purdum,
George w. Walker, Hamilton j.
Day, Jackson Day, Wellington Day,
John d. Purdum, Garrison Bran
denburg, Thomas NJ. Baker, Mary
M. Brandenburg, Luther Day,
Josiah Watkins.
His father was no mean shot
according to Robert f. Burdette,
who said that his fathers unerring
aim accounted for wild pigeons by
the sack-full. Retiring from teach
I ing in the late 1850's, Mr.. Burdette
turned to farming and from then
on his account books contained
memoranda Of his business Zeal
ings.

Outlook Gloomy For

3D." &C" Holders, How
ever, Get Quarter Mil
lion Increase

The tire situation for "B" and
&c" ration book holders was brigh-
ter this week but the outlook for
"A" motorists was still gloomy.
The OPA announced that 1885,
900 new auto tires will be available
for "B" and &C" motorists in No
vember, am increase of 100000 over
the October quota. The November
allotment, OPA said, is expected to
satisfy normal monthly replace
ments, but will be insufficient to
permit broadening of eligibility re-
quirements for "A" card holders.
In addition, OPA said, the quota
will enable local ration boards to
work off "a few" of an estimated
backlog of $4,000 approved, but
untitled, applications from "B" and
&C" holders for new tires. A
monthly quota of 100000 tires
will be required to fill these re-
quests.
Deputy OPA Administrator Max
warned that the tire
situation still remains critical and
most motorists must resort to re-
Gaping to keep their cars in opera
