Agriculture in Schools
Dr. Schaffer recommends the study
of Agriculture in publio schools. The
course is to be optional but he says is
highly desirable and gives the fol
lowing among other reasons :
"The importance of this new sub'
jeot is no longer disputed. It is
needed in tbe rnral school to arouse
and retain an interest in the borne
environment, aud to render a service
in perfecting and mating more com
moo the methods now known and
nsed by the few, and it is necessary
to enlist an army of recruits in the
most fundamental industry in Amer
ioa. High cost of living can be re
duced by a mora icteuaive nroduo
tion aud by the removal from the
dependent town and city life to the
more independent and sell' supporting
oountry life of many who are oofam
iliar with its opportunities.

MOONLIGHT REVERIE
Twas' another September night long
ago.
The moon as tonight was br timing ;
On this very spot Mary and I
Sat watching tbe heavens and dream
lug
Of time that Is now ; 'twas fntnre
time then.
Oh what bappy days were to oosae
To ns, not a cloud would e'er darken
our star
All would be sunshine, no gloom.
Wo built and unbuilt and rebuilt
again
Pretty oottagea all in (he air,
Then left them unfinished and other
things
Would then lead our thoughts elsewhere.
We talked of our travels on ocean
anil land
And ol riches that we would attain.
On ! the folly of youth though folly
it be
Would tbat it might ever remain.
There's a green little mound in the
cemetery
Right under tbe tall cypress tree.
The moonbeams are shining as
i brightly there
AS they are here sinning on me.
Youth's dreams are over; I'm aged
and grey
But tonight I forgot it awhile
And I lived for an hour or two in
the past
By moonlight, sitting on the old
stile.

The Disagreeable Task.
So often has (t been charged tbat
tba pnblie schools foros too many
and too diftionlt tasks upon the pa
piis that any contrary statement Is
read with surprise. . Tbe retiring
president oi the National Education
Association recently expressed bis
disagreement with the prevailing
view when he said that the fsult too
eoiu toon in many of the beet schools
is that of making the way too easy
for the child. He feared that "such
made easy and rapid transit math,
ods" wonld produce "a crop of Intel
lectnally spoiled children, flabby of
mind, weak of will, superficial in
oharaoter. Inaccurate in scholarship,
doing nothing well except what they
like to do." He urged that they
should be trained to do whatever it
ia their duty to do, wbetber it is
pleasant or not, and that the accom
plishment of the needed work should
provide snrflclent Joy.
This is wholesome doctrine to
preach to young persons, and to
those who are engaged in training
the young. It applies to parents, as
well as tu mare formal teachers.
Many a parent who has struggled
to overcome early obstacles resolves
to save his children the hardships
of bis own youth. The children thus
trained bring forth other children
who usually go to the dogs.
The rule to find out what a boy
likes to do and let him do that Is
good, provided, In adlilion, you Qud
nut what ha doos not like to do aud
make him do that also. Tbe moral
and the will need diciplii.e as well
of men who!8,DU bod. A boy gels strong u-
ing his muscies until 'hey ache, and
then through keeping on using Iheio
uutil the ache utar t.tf and fiibbi

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON
Tuesday of this week the six
Ncbsols of this town opened for the
fall term, with the exception of two
that are without teaohsrs This is
too bad, aoxl there is no reason why
this state of affairs should exist, ex
cept neglect on the part of the B. of
E
Walpaok Is h, a
a similar fix, for of
their three sohools one only has a
teacher.
It would seem that the salaries,
paid are entirely too small.
Beth Shay on bis arrival home Sat
urday from New York olaimed he is
much better.
He placed himself under the care
of a New York Specialist for throat
trouble, and feeis that, he has Im
proved. The first specialist he vis
ited, ordered bim not to talk for one
month, and now he can hardly
speak, if he dosirea to.
Four dally N. Y. Americans takei
at the Layton P. O. for the past
month came via Dunfield aod Flat
hrookvllle, thus making them one
day late. We can not find out where
the fault lies.
The mail carrier fiora Flatbrook
vllln to Layton wished his starting
time from Flathrook villa made earli
er. ,
Application was made and I in tne
diatuly granted, and instead of 6 15
A. M. that mall from Sept 2 leavea
at 5 46 A. M. Somebody bas got to
bustle In the morning now.
A wing wall of ten feet is being
added to the abutment of the 1 -ay ton
bridge on the soutfi side.
As the stream runs Sonlb there is
no apparent reason for this addition.
Saturday Inst as Mr. Demurest thn
oontraotor was emptying a barrel of
oil into the wagon the oil took fire
and when' flaring baok burned bim
severely about the bead tind neck.
How he ss ved his eyes, and him
self from Inliulmg the tjanie is a
mystery.
The big unto with 'x oornpauis
who wished, to dilve over tbe new
road, (aud I think they were most-
Freeholders) when told tbe road
was closed to travel one remarked,
It's a damn poor set of Freeholders
oanl drive overt heir n ad."
On tbe '2nd inst tne Newark Even
ug News printed an extract rrom
from a circular issued by John J
Vanstckle when he was running for
Freeholder three years ago, and that
correspondent would have done
much better had be printed the clr
cular entire.
Where be says "Vansickle defeat
ed John W. Johnson by a large ma
jority," why not explain bow tbat
was done lor mat correspondent
knsws Mr. Vansickle is up for re
election and has for an opponeni?
Hiram C. Snook.
I am glad to note that the Con
tractor on tbe macadam r. ad is ( ush
lng the work, and now we have a
floe pince of finished road
As they are putting on oil and
screenings the road ia necessarily
closed to the traveling public. Peo
ple north of 1 .ay ton can take tl e
turnpike, and those near Layton oau
go sooth, taking tbe "Funis" road
whloh is only a ah rt distance fur
ther and a better road, end, by tak
ing this road can view the famous
bridge recently built on tbat road.
The bridge near Will Heaters
which has caused so much discussion
s about oompleted, and the fill over
the bridge is now Iwing made
The side walla are s i id to be laid ia
the bed of the etieani, and are on au
average about one foot in thickness

FOREST FIRES.
The year 1910 according to reports
of the U. S Agricultural Depart
ment will bold the record anions)
many for tbe loss and damage tf
fires lespeoially ia tbe Laks States. '
Forester B. S. Graves bas just issued,
a bulletin in which he discusses for
est fires and proper methods of pre-'
venting and fighting them. Tba
risk oan never be eliminated for. for
ests contain much inflammable ma.
Icrlal but by efficient organization
they may be largely prevented and
the damage confined. The funda
mental principal is to detect and at
tack fires in their very beginning,
and this may be done by lookouts,
telephones, signal communication
ami various methods ol patrol. He
notes as of first importance, quick ar
rival at the fire, an adequate foree,
proper equipment, organization of
the fighting crew, and skill in attaok .
ing and fighting Arcs.
He then Snows how fires may be
beaded off by drawing the front to
gether by firing in front in a wedge
shaped direction and hy back firing
vhich latter method he does not ad
vise unless it heoomes absolutely neo
ewary He suggests fire lines, mada1
by slashing and clearing out the
brush.'

Explosibility of Coal Dust
MORE DANOKROUS THAN FIR DAMP
Coal (Inst is now generally recog
nized as an explosive mors danger
ous and deadly than fire damp. Fire
drtrip gives its own warning the
-ap" in the safety lump but ooal
dust does not attract attention unless
it is present in tbe mine In large
quantities Fire damp da generally .
local in its occurence, and the effect
ot its explosion, though terrlflo, Is al
no local , but in a dry mine Coal, dost
is everywhere, and its explosion and
combustion may affect miles of rooms
and entries and may even destroy
EtruAures at the entrance to the
mine.
The fact that coal dust is a danger
ous explosive was not generally reo
ognied until very recently. Alter
the great explosion in the Pocahon
