A NEW SYSTEM
FOR TEACHERS
A new wrinkle in pedagogy is reported
from MiJnlgomejy county, in Virginia—a
scheme that looks like an t •xcellent thing tor
district school su perintendenlx to make a note
of.
Dr. Minor W. Thomas ■ ■ f the Virginia
State Teachers College has devised a method
whereby school teachers xro paid for what
their pupils learn, The pupils are given men
tal tests at the beginning and end’ of each
year, and those who have learned the most
earn their instructors a $200 bonus.
Each teacher is paid ID cents a day
yach child present, A basic salary of $ ID a
month for each year of CO liege
possessed by the teachers is also in effect.
The result, according to Dr. 1 homas, is that
2b per cent fewer teachers, receiving
I j per cent nbift r the old average, are a
to give one and one half trmes as
knowledge t o I I per cent more pupils
under the o Id system.

NOT MARTYRS,
JUST SILLY
Three Communists, arrested at Martin
f erry. O.. last summer were field up to
red contemporaries all over the nation
"martyrs" after a judge sentenced them
five years in prison anr! lined them
apiece.
Their sentences helped other Communist
egitators very materially I hey gave sonie

that , the . ( .... this , being
orrurmnists in counry are ‘
, persecued. . ,,.
Now. however, these Communistic I'lrops
have been knocked out. I he Ohio cojbrt ' of
appeals has reversed the conviction o f the
Martin’s Kerry trio. I’he judge who wrote
the opinion did not pass on the constitution
ality of the law under which the Communists
were sentenced; hr simply remarked that
the inflammatory handbills they distributed
were just plain silly and inconsequential.
This action will do more lo slow up the
Communists' work than the stiffest prison
sentences that could have been pronounced.

THE TRAGEDY
The tragedy of the mother who loses her
son in war almost goes beyond the power of
words to express.
An Ohio war mother, visiting France with
others who are going overseas to see
son's graves, nrouaed the pity of crowds at
Paris railroad terminal. She was in a men
tal daze. Her mind was blank. She could
not tell where she was. Her memory bad
been lost, and doctors are hoping thrft the
sight of her son s grave will restore it to her.
Her condition speaks volumes about the
tragedy of war. But there is a footnote to
the story that tells even more, A French
*•
war mother, seeing her. came forward fc
greet her. noticed her condition and turned
away, murmuring, "Why can't I be like
that?
WKat could express more terribly the suf
fering that war brings to mothara?

Yesterday we told #> f old man "Shaver"

on a rocky half-acre where they worked
mighty hard trying to make enough to put

man was a sort of fortune teller, and one day.
while the old man was in town, peddling
shallots, a Gypsy cairle along and persuaded
woman to accompany his party to the

man, but they had no room for him. Th«
thought tnat she c( uld make enough, in twr
for three nyonths. to keep Shaver from hov

the wagon and drive away—mopping the hit

tears from her sunken eyes.
Ori!y one neighbor, plowing m a nearby
hrla, . saw her leave; and he was .ri'ich si.ir
prist ■d at what he considered faithlessness ,r ‘
the old woman. He went to his house im
mediately, reported the matter to his wife,
1 and su iiggested following the old woman and
i j bringing her back; but the wife said, "No,

him and they ca lied and hunted through the

neighbors joined in the search, which was
continued into the night. Once the nearest
neighbor thought he would tell what he

not stand it. He hmted at such a thing, hut

confided his secret to some of his friends.

waft found in the creek, a week after he miss- ]
ed her. and that they had given her decent

burial. His only reply was. I tol ye sue wuz t

The old man hobbled out into the words
and dug up two small cedars, one of which’ !

Police for departmental use are shown above talcing part in a pa
rade through the city.
The Ford Motor Company
pounced a price reduction of $5
to $25 per car. effective June 2
This announcement came as a sur
prise--to the automobile industry as
few manufacturers could make such
a reduction following the general
j reductions announcement last Nov
ember.
The above picture illustrated
I cf the reasons why this reduction
[ was possible according to Charlie

l sales throughout the country have

year 1930 over 1929 despite a de
j clinp tn m0iSt olher industries. Dur

for Model "A”

exceeded one time before, in
wl)en 9 2 oo Model T Fords were
manufactured. This public
tanre of the i mpr oved Model

impulse, which he did not .try to
define, had prompted him to put
in the cal) to his home and inquire
about the mail. He was conscious
of feeling grbatlv disappointed now
that he knew there was no letter,
from Natalie.
The feeling grew on him as the
day's work was disposed of, and he
had less to think about. In the
eariv afternoon, he decided sudden
ly to write to her. Perhaps he would
not nave been inclined to do if
