an absoluto gift, regardless of her
possible remarriage, forget that she
is generally believed to have obtain
ed an ample ante-nuptial settlement
in lien of her dower rights, a policy
customary in tho case of every Astor
marriage. That there was a moral,
if not a legal, obligation resting up
on her husband to be generous with
out qualification in the provisions of
his will relating to her is altogether
a .matter of opinion. The subject
is one upon which people will never
agree, and discussion of It must run
a natural course until a more au
sorbing topic consigns it to oblivion.
Pennsylvanlans who have investi
gated the apple growing industry in
Oregon are not very optimistic as to
its future. One man recently said:
" There are only one or two ore-hards
in the vicinity of Grants
Pass, for instance, that are paying
their owners. Eastern grown fruit
is far superior in flavor, and as soon
as the Pennsylvania growers increase
their output and adopt the business
methods of the Westerners they Mill
be able to monopolize the -market.
Apple lands in the 'West are selling
at such high proces that een
though the yield be large tho return
on the investment is not 'great.
nthnr fitsniH-antaces are high rail
road rates, the cost of caring for the
orchards and safeguards against
frost." Another Pennsylvanian who
has been In 'Wyoming will return to
Pennsylvania as soon as he has dis
posed of real estate interests there
and will grow Pennsylvania apples
for a living.

The 'house-fly stands convictod .as.a
disseminator of disease and a carrier
of contagion. Ever sinco tho inves
tigation of the spread of typhoid
fever in the United States military
camps during the Spanish war of
1898, the evidence has (been accumu
lating, until to-day there Is no es
cape from the charges against this
tantilizing Insect. Every far-reaching
probe into sanitary problems is
liable to disclose conditions hitherto
quite unsuspected; and the Indict
ments already brought against tnc
house-lly during tho past few years
charge responsibility for a long cate
gory of infections, including cholera
and various forms of dysentery, diph
theria, erysipelas, contagious oph
thalmia, cerebrospinal meningitis,
anthrax and possibly smallpox, in ad
dition to typhoid fever. Whether all
of these charges will stand in the
light of scientific investigation re
mains to be seen. It is important,
not so much in Justice to tho accused
insect as because of tho hygienic
and preventive measures which are
dependent thereon, that the ques
tions hero raised be authoritative
ly settled. In the case of typhoid,
tho evidence appears to be complete.
THE ASTOR WILL DISCUSSION.
Much discussion 'has been aroused
by tho terms of John Jacob Astor'a
will. Whethor the restriction im
posed upon his widow's remarriage is
right or wrong, whethor tho provis
ion for a posthumous child Is ade
quate, or whether Surrogate Fowler
will undertaUo to set tho will aside
are questions upon which a great
deal of acumen, legal and otherwise,
is now being expended. Tho people
who aro the least concerned In tho
discussion aro tho peoplo who are
most concerned in tho disposition
of tho estate. They aro all content,
or say they are, to let tho adjust
ment of tho estate proceed accord
ing to tho terms of tho will, un
hampered by any contest whatso
ever. In the face of this decision dis
cussion becomes academic, merely.
It Is to bo presumed that Colonel
Astor took his wlfo into his confi
dence when ho raado his will, and
that sbo lodgod no protest against
tho entirely legal provision that her
Interest In tho estato should revert
to Colonel Astor'a Bon In tho event
of her Teraarrlage, or upon her
death. Thoso who Imputo selfish

AX UNWISE PROPOSITION.
A resolution adopted by the re
cent Republican state convention at
Harrlsburg provides that a list of
questions shall be sent out to each
candidate for the legislature in the
state. These questions ask for his
approval or disapproval in writing of
the several planks in the platform
adontod by the convention; 'his an
swers to be published In the local
newspapers of his county or district.
If this resolution is carried into effect-
as adopted it will provide the
most effective scheme that could bo
devised for the defeat of Republican
candidates.
Thero are certain planks in the
platform on which all Republicans
can stand. But thero are certain
other planks concerning which there
Is a wide and irreconcilable uiner-
ence of opinion. Such, for instance,
is Lhe plank providing for the recall
of judicial decisions. If a candidate
for the legislature were to ipubllcly
express his approval of that plank
ho would alienate -from himself the
support of a great number off sincere
Republicans who cannot believe that
.grave questions of constitutional
law should be decided by popular
voto as opposed to tho decisions of
the courts. If, on the other hand,
he should record his disapproval of
the plank, he would expect to be
opposed by that element in the par
ty under whose auspices the plat
form was framed and adopted, and
from whose organization the ques
tions were sent. Indeed, It Is the
obvious purpose of that organization
in propounding the questions and
demanding the answers for publica
tion, to procure the defeat, If possi
ble, of all Republican candidates for
the legislature who do not make
answers indicating their approval
of the platform. If this is not the
purpose of tho resolution, then it
has no purpose. But if It Is carried
into effect then whether it has a
purpose or not, tho operation will
bo equally mischievous.
For a party to demand from a
candidate for a nomination his pub
lic expression of opinion on certain
public questions concerning which ho
may be called upon to act Is entire
ly justifiable. But when tho nomi
nation has been given to him, and
he has become a candtdato for elec
tion as against tho candidate of the
opposing party, then for his own
party organization to demand that
he shall .publicly declare his atti
tude on questions that aro disputed,
not botween the two opposing par
ties, but between the two wings of
his own party, is not only unneces
sary and unfair but is little short of
treason. Wihen a candidate has re
ceived a party nomination he Ib en
titled to tho actlvo and aggressive
support of tho party organization.
Hut hero is a party organization that
proposes to compass tho dofeat of
Its own candldato if ho does not
subscribe to every plank In a plat
form adopted after his nomination,
and objectionable to a great body of
Republican voters, and to lay him
open to defeat If ho does so sub
scribe. It was a most ill-conslderod, Ill
timed and unwlso action on tho part
or tho convention. It can only bo
explained by that lack of political
skill and that oxuberanco of feel
ing which Is likely to characterize
tho novlco In politics, flushed with
recent victory,
Tho Citizen calls attention to It
at tlils time, not for tho purposo of

Wayne County Teachers' Association
mot In tho beautiful vlllago of Equl-
nunk, May 10th nnd 11th.
On Friday evening Miss Jano Gil
christ gave a recitation entitled
"iPatsy." This was followed by an
nddrcss given by Dr. D. W. LaRue
of East Stroudsburg normal school.
It was full of interest and Instruc
tion for all engnged In educational
work.
Saturday's session opened with
music, after which Rev. Samuel Tol
ley offered prayer. Dr. LaRue then
gave a talk on "Tho iRelntlon Be
tween Langungo and Grammar" or
"Basic Principles Underlying the
Language Course." Many valuable
points were brought out, among
them tho following: Grammar should
bo postponed until lato In the
course; Language should be taught
from the beginning in an Informal
way and the conversational method
was highly recommended. Among
the first steps In teaching language
the imitative method should bo cm
ployed, tnen tho more formal work
may bo attempted, thoroughly criti
cized by the teacher, after which the
pupil may be taught to criticize and
correct his own work. Tills talk was
followed by a short discussion.
The next period was taken by Miss
Elizabeth A. Balrd, her subject be
ing "How 1 Teach Geography." First
she would teach the world as a
whole, bringing out tho interdepend
ence of nations, tho Influence of one
nation on another, causes and effects
in the geographical world. lAsla,
tho country of contrasts, was taken
as an example. In teaching climate
take a map of the world and com
pare with the countries already stud
ied. In teaching mountains Miss
Baird would not advise learning
long lists of names, etc., but teach
mountain ranges that npve direct
Influence on the climate and life.
In teaching river systems make them
real by means of pictures and stor
ies of life along the water-ways. Let
children talk to one another about
their lessons. In tho study of for
est regions talk of tho animals.
Teach population by comparisons.
Use a geographical reader.
Miss Gilchrist then gave a recita
tion entitled "Fishing," followed by
Mrs. Alma J. G. Dix, president of
Teachers' League of Wayne county.
She spoke very eloquently in the in
terest of the league, reviewing the
work and arousing much enthusiasm.
New members aro being rapidly
added to the list already obtained.
Harry Pethlck, of Damascus High
school, read a very practical and In
structive paper on "Some Present
Country Problems," from which tho
following is quoted: "I know that
In many ways tho natural advan
tages of our country schools are far
ahead of any city schools in exist
ence 'With its excellently planned
systems and courses. There are,
however, ways In which we are be
hind In our rural communities and
it Is the grasping of some opportuni
ties that I think we aro missing that
wo can talk over here. We are none
too careful about ventilating our
buildings properly. Are there five
schools among those represented
that have a ventilating system other
than direct ventilating from the win
dows? Then again, there Is the reg
ulation of heat and humidity, tho
atmosphere being usually too dry to
be healthy. We cannot have expen
sive systems in our small township
high schools, but there are practical
methods which with study and effort
we could Install whore the problem
is seriously affecting the health of
every child under our charge. If
wo do not look after the making of
a healthful, sanitary environment, a
good clean schoolhouso and school
yard, abundant light and fresh air,
who will? The conditions are fright
ful when wo think of them. Thero
are twenty million 'boys and girls In
tho schools of our country. Five
million of them have defective vis
ion. Thero are In the country at
largo at least six million pupils with
enlarged tonsils, or adenoids; one
million have curvature of tho spine
or flat foot; five million havo tuber
cular trouble and ten million havo
defective teeth. Does this affect the
health of the child? Tho whole tone
of tlje school? A remedy. Yes,
moro effective teaching in health and
hygiene.
The following officers were then
elected for tho coming year: Prof. IR.
T. Davles, president; Miss Daniels of
Hawley, vlco-presldent; Miss Fran
ces Dillon of White Mills, secretary
and treasurer. Executive commit
tee: Arthur Hopkins, Seelyvlllo;
Miss Vera '.Murray, Honesdalo, and
Miss Ada Hopkins, Aldcnvllle.
ANNA G. SEAMAN,
Secretary.
The High school desires tho fol
lowing numbers of tho Outlook to
complcto Its files. Anyone having
theso numbers and havo no furthor
use for them aro requested to send
them to tho High school offlco,
whero they will bo thankfully re

American Scnool ii'eaco 'League,

servatlon. Dr. Schneffer claims
