Woodmansee. rly Schoolman At Providence endent W. H. Holmes Gives Interesting Address on Educational Topics—Troop of Boy Scouts Organized ~—Norwich-Westerly Traction Company Measure Pass- ed by the House—Historical Paper by Mrs. LaClede ©One of the most interesting and in- structive lectures of the serles held un- der the direction of the department of education of Brown university at Prov- 1dence was delivered by Superintendent ‘Willlam H. Holmes of the Westerly schools, whose subject was the Teach- ing Force, Training, Appointment, Promotion and Compensation. Thé speaker emphasized the great Import- ance of better preparation for those who engage in educational work stat- fng that a more thorough training would result in ellminating nearly all the existing evils of school adminis- tration. Superintendent Holmes suggested a eourse of at least two and_one-half rears at a normal school for those who Anticipate teaching in the lower grades the public schools and for those | 0 would prefer to teach in the gram- ur echools he suggested that in ad- fon to a high school course that at least four years might be profitably pent in fitting one for teaching before B attempted to secure o position. To | thosé who aspired to become high schdol instructors a liberal coliege ed- ucation was not only necessary but that two years of professional train- tng should be included, preferadly in | sTaduate work rather than during the academic_course of four years. Low salaries have always been cause of much dissatisfaction ~among the teachers themse and have caused any others to wonder that those who | ve apparently given 5o much time in | preperation for their life work ssem receive so little for their services and too that there seems to be little prospect of their materially increasing eir pay. Superintendent Holmes told his audience that an effort should be made to try to bring the training | &nd preparation up to e higher. plane | #s 18 the case of other professions Where several years are spent in fit- ting oneself for a successful carcer. When those who desire to teach realize the importance of better then there will be higher salaties, be ter schools and better work acco: plished by the scholars themselves, The _establishment of a municipal market, as a solution of food distrib tlon in_the city of Providence, w: jrged by Dr. Howard C. E rds, president of the state college at King- ston, at a meeting held at the Elysium at Providence before the Farmers' in- stitute. The speaker declared that §f the city owned the markets then an adequate supply of food would be mssured and that there would be an gmprovement in the quality of food, &nd would give the city a much need- @d4_control of prices. Dr. Edwards further stated that the machinery of distribution must be made more effictent. He spoke of the | middleman as not intelligently and | sdequately performing his function | that he is costly because he is efficient through a lack of organi- pation. The future of farming les with the city rather than with the rural districts and the business of provision- ing the city is the business of the city itself. No organization of pro- ducers can alone ever satisfactorily satisty it During the afternoon session the gtate college president gave a very interesting and Instructive lecture on the timely subject, Future Outlook for Agriculture in Rhode Island. He spoke of the physical characteristics as being well adapted for farming on a suc- cesstul scala Thers was a large attendance of boys and parents at the meeting hely at the Mgh school hall Thursday evening for the purpose of establishing a_Boy Beout troop tn Westerly. Over a hun- dred boys had signed applications to become members before the meet- ing Thursday evening and there were = number of others who availed them- selves of the opportunity at that time. Senstor Louls W. Armold of this town was present and introduced eakers, who told of the interest by oys who have become members of the different troops throughout the state and the great good that is to be derived from an organization of this Xind. The speakers said that regular meetings are to be held and that a ®ood part of the time is spent out of doors. The cooperation of the par- ents was asked that the troop might be a success, as it has been in nearly | every case where the movement has had the backing of many of the in- fluential eitizens of the town amnd others who have an interest in youns men.

The reason for this is that Cotfolene heats to about 100 degrees higher than either butter or lard, without burning, quickly forming a crisp coating which excludes the fat. Your Chips, therefore, are crisp, dry and appetizing. Cottolene costs about the price of lard, farther than either butter or lard. THE N. E.
