AM EtPOITAVT POST OFFICE rranro expected i After years of labor to prevent the •welling of the receipts of poet offlcea | where the salary of the postmaster depends upon the sale of stamps, the post office department Is to get a decision from the Supreme Court of the United States as to whether It Is a criminal offense' to exploit the stamp business. The government has docketed in court an appeal from the action of the i federal district court In Massachusetts, i quashing an Indictment against Harold A. Potter. Frank E. WInchell. William i E. Edwards "and Henry H. Piatt, for I conspiracy to swell the stamp sales at < Brookfleld, Mass., where Foster was postmaster.

Edwards and Piatt were merchants In New York. Winchell was charged with purchasing large amounts of •tamps for them from Foster, and Foster was charged with falling to "report' the sale of these particular stamps to the post office department as unusual •ales,- w-hich are taken out of the amount upon which salaries are computed.' The district court hejd that it was not a criminal offense not to report the sales as unusual. Post office Inspectors have spent much time watching the sale of stamps. A case involving the question lias never reached the supreme court before, however, partly because It was not until recent years that the government had the right to appeal when Indictments were quashed. Tile final determination of this mooted question will .be of especial interest lu more than one post office in Burlington oounty, where the postmaster's salary ls dependent upon the amount received by his office through the sale of stamps. A few years ago some of the postmasters of the county were not over-partlc-alar as to where they sold stamps, not a few business firms whose business headquarters were outside of the county but some of whose members or responsible employees resided in this county, buying large quantities of stamps for such firms' use. The idea was to favor

— p the local postmasters and secure higher | I compensation for them, if possible. , Then the department's representatives n commenced to get busy and before long j, 1 the practice of peddling stamps was ,, generally discontinued. VP to that time t it had been regarded as a perfectly le- ^ gltlmate method of swelling the post v office receipts and some doubt was ex- r, pressed as to whether it was any of c the post office department's business _ where the stamps went after the cub- k turners handed their money through the e post office window in payment for the stamps purchased. The department „ took a different view of the matter, i, however, and gradually the practice has -

Flret^o see to It that the school i la constructed In such a manner I that the Uvea, the lungs and the eyes ' of the pupils are not endangered every hour In the day and every day In the < week. Little will It profit a boy or a ' girl to get an education. If he or she I with U a mq lined body, almost 1 sightless eyes or that terrible scourge of I the human race, tuberculosis. Elbert < Hubbard's words upon the subject of < school house evils are so much to the < point that X mak%" no apology for quothim at length. He says: "The Tl- ' ianle disaster touched the heart of hu- ' inanity In a way that only a. dire ca- 1 can. But every week In the city of New York there occur more deaths c than those caused by the sinking or the l Then there was the Collin- « wood disaster, when 234 children, rep- ' resenting two hundred families, were I clutched and seized by relentless death 1 — asphyxiated by smoke or burned by s greedy flames. within sight of their par- a It was Just the beginning of the glad e school day. a day of sunshine, when the r of Nature was manifest on every « side. The trees were bursting into v bloom, th flowers were budding, the birds were mating, great white fleecy a clouds floated across the bine ether- t floated

At nine-twenty o'clock In the' mornheard. Then tljere came a stampede, pupils as they rushed madly down the stairways for the doors. These doors !- turm-d inward. The children massed themselves against the doors and locked { them with piles of little struggling human bodies. There they were massed — five, ten. fifteen feet deep — and still ! the came running down the stairways. "Arms were pulled from the sockets '• In frantic efforts to free children from " the mass. The firemen came and extinguished the names, but Death In the maniime had reaped his harvest. The trustees who built that school house were unfit for an office which involved not only the care of the minds but for tile bodies of the children sent to school. - There is hut one object "In a school house at Hie last — and that is to supply ■ a condition where growth. efficiency. - health, power, .will evolve by natural process. The school house that does not hgie^tke Intent of producing better men and women would be a vain, absurd i. nd silly thing." Tbe second function of the efficient ■ school trustee Is to secure a good janitor for his school house — not merely a • man or woman who will shovel In a I bucket of coal and shovel out a bucket of ashes, but- a -jjtnltor who knows dlrl when lie sees ll, who hates dirt when he meets It. and. who will fight dirt six days a week. Of course, such a Fj janitor costs more than the mere asli heaven but' is he not wortli It? Would you send your child ry.q, to a school house where disease, diasolutyup, disaster, and death await tiliti-iii -tbti fdrnf-/Of 'jlust particles too small to be seen by the hunian eye? Doctor Gordon Ogden, In his little book. "The Kingdom of Dust" says: "Dust is>he right hand of Death. More than half of the deaths In the world, from the Equator to the Poles, are due to the breathing of Dust — pneumonia. consumption, diphtheria, scare let fevbr. measles and other bacterial' diseases are all spread by dust. Having bullded Ills school house and secured the janitor to care for It. the third function of the alert school man Is to pick out his teachers, and when one finds upon his desk applications from twenty candidates for the three or four places he has to fill, the task looks j easy: but is it? That depends upon whether you are looking for someone to help your district distribute Its surplus, or are looking for a real sclfool teach- ! er. To find the former. Is easy, but to Ond the latter Is almost as difficult as do find a good janitor, although not quite. If it were possible to find two Ity was exactly equal in all respects, one with a normal school diploma, the • other with no normal training, the former would- be worth to any school' board i well nigh double the salary of the other;" i hut unfortunately the natural difference In the mentality, the tact and the dls- I position of two persons is so wide that < simply because he or she has a normal ' .diploma, throwing aside all other considerations, Is sure sootier or later to ) meet with disappointment.'

The line sf separation between 1 good teachers and poor teachers is most t graphically described In the following quotation from the annual report of a I school superintendent in a neighboring f city. He says: "Some people are ac- » lively engaged In teaching; some passThe former are teaching pupils, a the latter are hearing them recite.

promotes her pupils by teaching them tn rough the year; the latter promotes by oilier means when tbe final test comes." Another function of the alert trustee, •nd one which seems too often to be neglected, la the keeping of the school property In repair, and those who think this is a "boy's Job" should try It for a year' or two. 1 hestitate to touch upon the duty of School Board to keep their teachers well supplied with books, tablets, and other necessary appliances, because It is beyond comprehension how any trustee can be ao unreasonable as to expect his '.eachers to do good work without proper supplies; we speak of "hatchet and carpenters" with derision, recognizing the fact that no carpenter can do good work without' a chest full oi the best tools obtainable, and yet we ask school teachers to "bring results" with torn books, and not enough even of them, and without globes, maps, charts, etc. If asked what Is the most unpleasant function of a school trustee, my answer would be, "The enforcement of the laws" 'TIs pity, 'tis true, and 'tis true. Its a pity! But In the effort to compell attendance, we run counter to the parsimonious greed of parents whose only value on children seems to be "How milch they can earn." And strange Is that well-meaning citizens will degive employment during school hours to boys who ought to be at their books Instead of running errands. tending stores, driving teams, etc. Unfortunately the law does not reach this class of citizens, but a wholesome -public opinion would go far toward remedying the evil. No matter how efficient the schools made, no matter how economically they may be manured ." crlllcs u-ili »1be managed." critics will

Of those who criticise ix- | IS penses some do It to divert attention! e from the fact that they draw salaries! „! from the public and In comparison with |e teachers give very little in return; oth- | ,5 ere, end there are many of them because . they lire like the farmer In a story which | d though trite will bear repltltlon. | K ■ ears ago It was the custom of cound try folk to work out their taxes by ,1 hoarding the teacher, which meant that K from time to time he was supplied from B \arlous quarters with food. One day a „ Boy said to his teacher: "Say. teacher, my pa wants to know if e you like pork?" e "Indeed, I do. Tell your father that • here Is nothing that I like better than J d pork." » r Some time elapsed and there was no ] I pork from the boy's father, a fact that . ,j In no way surprised the teacher, for the , y old. man was known throughout the ( : country as a tight proposition. Neverj tin-less, one afternoon the teacher asked s the boy: "How about that pork that I r your father promised me?" l( "Oh." answered the boy. "the pig got j

;l b j DEATH OF MBS. OAXFOBS M. COBB I January 12, 1914. . i .When Holly Beach was young, when e the beautiful and now famous Wildwood. , . was In Its infancy, a bright treasure | entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Som- - ers Barneti there. Edna, who afterr ivards became so popular and well bet loved, was the second chljd born wlthi in Its precincts. t A happy life was hers, and as she grew to-, womanhood, as the tender bud f unfolded Into the perfect flower, her fields of usefulness became many and t , varld. Her warm and generous heart i ever responded to the call of the unfortunate and the needy while In the > [ home, in the church. In the orders to I which she belonged, she was a wource • of strength and helpfulness which can • only be measured by the loss of her ■ , activities and her bright and cheering ! personality. After having passed through the seats of learning provided by this county, she . graduated at South Jersey Institute. Bridgeton, N. J., having specialized in • J music. In which she became ably proficient. The sweet chords of harmony, [ the strains of sweetest melody brought j forth from the Instrument by her skilled . fingers will be remembered as rare . j treats and will be sadly missed at fuj ture functions. j She was Fast Councillor of 'Holly !

She was also a member of Cold Spring Grange No. 132 and oT Cape May County Pomona Grange. 1 But, better than all. she was a mem- , ber of God's earthly army, one of His j helpers and co-workers, holding inerai bership in the Holly Beach Methodist | Episcopal Church, of which Rev.
