When the question of the elec tion of teachers and other Bchool employes for the next term is under consideration, it is impor tant that there be no misunder standing in relerence to the pro vision of the State School Em ploye's Retirement Act. The employment of ( teachers who are nearing the retirement ' age does not in any way affect the amount of the contribution which a local school district will later make to the retire ment fund. . The contribution which the local school district will make to the retirement fund is based upon the amount contributed ,by the teachers employed in that dis trict, and is not affected by the number of employes retired while in the service of the dis trict The amount contributed to the retirement fund by the local district is approximately one-half of the amount contribut ed by the teachers of that dis trict It is a mistake to avoid the em ployment of teachers who are near the retirement age if they are qualified te teach. Such teachers will be retired when el igible for retirement and no school district in the State will contribute more or less to the re tirement fund because of their retirement. All contributions to the retire ment fund are based upon the salaries of teachers who are in active service, and not upon the number who are retired. Respectfully yours, Q. H. Baku, Sec'y. HIPAM.

Last year the circulation of em bossed books was 29,576 in all types of embossed print, 21,215 of these were in the "Moon" type which is peculiarly adopted to the needs of the adult blind to whom the services of the teachers are given. Miss Mary D. Dungan one of the teachers is now in Fulton County, she will travel through the county to locate and teach all who wish to learn. Not long ago Miss Dun gan taught a pupil eighty-six years old in three lessons. About two thirds of those visit ed are over fifty years of age. As twenty-one years is usually the age limit for admission into schools for the blind it is only through Home Teaching that the adult blind can be reached and taught. Many learn the "Moon" type in one or two lessons. Miss Dungan has already thoroughly visited through the following counties Chester, Montgomery, Backs, Berks, Delaware, Carbon, Lancaster, York, Cumberland, Franklin, Adams and Hunting don. By sending the mmos of any blind persons in Fulton County to Miss Mary D.

Mr. Hoover has, of necoHHity,biGn again compelled to appoal to the country for the adoption of mont drantio mcaninc looking to the con Hnrvation of sugar to the utmost pos sible extent. The extensive withdrawal of our coast-wise shipping: for trans Atlan tic war trade and the reonnt subma rine activities on this ido of the ocean, from whiob our suuar carry ing: ships have been the chief suffer m, have greatly reduoed our sup ply, and even threatens to cut it off entirely. You will, accordingly, put into rffoot immediately a reputation re- strinlinir tho trade to salt's, for or dinary use, of a maximum of two pounds to town and city consumers, and five pounds ti consumers re siding in rural distiicts. The sa'e of a maximum of twen ty five pounds, on signed certificates, for home preserving, will be contin ued as a moans of saving the fruit crop from loss and providing winter stores; .but this provision should he carefully supervised and regulated to insure against abuses and. tho public should be urged to employ drying and cold pack processes re quiring a minimum of sugar, as far as practicable. Hotels, restaurants, clubs and pub lio eating places ol all kinds, are re quired henceforth to remove all sugar bowls or other common re oeptabcles for sugar from tables and to serve sugar in individual portions exclusively. Individual service is limited to one half ounce or two lumps per person with tea and coffee, and one ounce maximum, per person, with cereals and fresh fruits. Also to use no sugar for other decorative purposes, or for making sherberts and water ices. It is presumably understood that you will issue no more sugar distri bution certificate to manufacturers until furth'-r advised on this subject and, in the meantime, you should in form the public, in making your ap peal for voluntary family ennsorva tion, that the "Iohs essential" Bngar using industries, like confectioners and soft-drink makers, have already been cut down to about half their normal supply with prospects of still further reduction after July first. The Rules and Regulations here set forth should be given the widest publicity at once, and you are charged with their strict enforcment iu all cases. Prompt and .vigorous action will bo taken against all vio lators. In appealing for voluntary con servation in the home, our people should constantly bear in mind the thought that it is better to savo now at some slight inconyenienoe than go entirely without sugar later on. This is a subject in which the in terest of of the Woman's Division of your organization should be especially enlisted with a view to carrying on through its members an extensive propaganda among the women of the community, for it is through woman's influence that the best results are always secured in home conservation movements. I am confident that, with a full realization of tho situatiou, the people of Pennsylvania will patri otically rise to the occasion and do their full part as they have so loyal ly done in support of all our war measures. Yours very truly, HOWARD HEINZ, Federal Food Administrator for Pennsylvania., John R. Jackson, Federal Food Administrator for Fulton County. Will You Work to Help Win lite War?
