I, for one, do not think Mr. Baker put the question fairly to us by- pointing out to us what a luxury this extra supervisor had been, aud by assuming that an extra supervis or must continue to be a eostlv and ornamental luxury. Should he not rather have said to us, “ here is an office that has in the past been far cical and expensive in operation, hut it may be made useful giving vulue received. Do you wish a rural su pervisor or not ? If you do, 1 will endeavor to so fill it and so oversee the work as to obtain results.’ ’ If Mr. Baker thinks a rural super visor unnecessary, will he kindly toll us how he plans to do the neces sary work. Does he assume that the children in the rural schools should be couteut in the future, as in the past, with the leadership of immature girls, themselves little educated, except for an occasional perfunctory visit of the county su perintendent. Possibly Mr. Baker has some ad equate plan of supervision. If so we would all be interested to know, am sure. But, before we east aside anythiug that makes possible the improvement of rural school», let us take a careful inventory of the situation. Especially let us dis cover whether or not there is any thing else in view that may help us out of our difficulties. F rank F E dd y Bullards, Ore , January 13, 11)13. Editor of the Coquille Herald— I read with interest in a recent issue of the Herald a communica tion from our newly elected super intendent of schools, Mr. Baker. Now I am a well-wisher of Mr. Bak er and from what I have heard of his ideas, as reflected by his person al friends, I am extremely hopeful that he will inaugurate an era ol genuine school supervision, especi ally rural school supervision, which will produce some other result than drilling the pupils in just so many pages of just such text books suffi cient for them to pass examinations advancing them from grade to grade. 1 am still hopeful that Mr. Baker will put a little ginger into his job, and awaken in the inadequate and ill-equipped teaching force in the county new ideals for their own ad vancement, and fill them with new ambitions for the children who so vitally depend on them for mental stimulus. Especially I wish to see the rural school closely tied to the ruial home. I wish to see the boys aud girls ot th« county taught in such a manner as make them realize the value of books as related to the concrete and K e e p in g H e lp on th e F a rm practical problems of their farm One of the greatest problems oti homes.

A Pilot W h o K n o w H i s Business and H a d Lot s of Nerv e. In a fit of Impatience because the speed o f his yacht was slowed down ou entering a certain harbor, the German emperor on one occasion tried to assert bis authority and raug the bell for “ Full speed ahead." To his great sur prise, the pilot, an old Norwegian named Nordhuns, who knew the dan gerous character of the channel, plac ed himself iu the way aud, leaning over the wheel, called down the tube to the engine room, “ Half speed ahead —never mlud the bell!” "W hat! You dare to countermaud my orders?’’ cried the impetuous rnon arch, again ringing the bell. "Disregard the bell,” calmly repeat ed Nordhuns through the tube. For a moment the kaiser glared at the Intrepid pilot, and then, drawing himself up to his full height, said ma jestically, "Go below, sir, and report yourself under arrest” “ Leave the bridge!” thundered the Norwegian grimly, as he grasped the wheel more firmly. "This ship is in my charge, and I’ ll have no interfer ence with my orders from emperor or seaman!" The officers on deck hurried silently aft, wishing luck to the sturdy old sea dog, who, knowing that he had the law as well as common sense on his side, stood at his post unshaken by threats, unheeding commands, rind steered the Hohenzollern safely into port The next day the emperor came to his senses and decorated the pilot—the king at the wheel—with one grade of the Order of the Black Eagle and also appointed him his life pilot in Norwe gian waters.— Pearson’s Weekly.

Various sea birds, especially the pet rels, contain a large amount of oil in their tissues, and for this reason are greatly valued by the inhabitants of the Scottish coasts, who obtain from them “oil for their lamps, down for their beds, a delicacy for their table, a balm for their wounds and a medicine for their distemper.’’ On the Island of St. Kilda ns many ns 20,000 birds are killed In the one week o f the year when this killing is legal So rich In oil are some o f these birds that their bodies can be used ns lamps If wicks are passed through them.—London Live Stock Journal.
