Forest Fires Harm Soil Fertility.
A definite relation between the
amount of humus, or vegetable mat
ter in the soil, and its crop-producing
power as shown by yields or corn,
is given in figures just issued by the
department of agriculture. The de
partment therefore advocates the
use of various methods to introduce
the required humus into the soil.
Experts of the forest service state
that the soils of the whole country
and particularly of the south, have
lost and are losing immense amount
of this source of soil fertility through
forest fires which apparently do little
immediate damage but rob the soil
of accumulations of humus. In
many parts of the south, land is be
ing cleared for farming, and where
such forest land has not been burned
there is a large percentage of veget
able matter, which provides consid
erable fertility, and a good texture
Moreover this soil has a greater
capacity to absorb and retain mois
ture, and thus is less likely to be
washed and gullied under heavy
rains. For these reasons, leaving out
of account the damage done to stand
ing timber, the department's author
ities are agreed that fire should be
rigidly kept out of woodlands.
First Newspaper Printed iu English
.Language.
The first newspaper printed In the
English language, with its old-Ene-
lish type and its quaint account of
events iu foreign countries, was a
pamphlet issued in 1621. Its title
'Corrant of Nevves from Italie, Ger
manie, France, and other places," is
as curious as its contents. For many
years it had been supposed that no
copy of the Corrant was in existance,
but recently a codv of this interpstine
document was discovered, and a
photograph of one page of it is repro
duced in the June Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

School Notes.
By. Supt. Notson.
The work of grading the eighth
grade examination papers and re
cording the grades lias been a very
tedious piece of work. A very much
larger number of applicants wrote
upon the examination than at any
previous examination. The exam
ination proved very difficult for a
large number. A large percentage
of the applicants failed. ' Some of
these are conditioned in only one or
two studies, but many will be re
quired to write upon all the branches
In which they do not have exemp
tions. The next examination will be
held June 4 and 5.
Ttachers who have completed the
reading circle work for the year
should send in for blanks upon which
to make report of their work. Con
tracts should not he sent in for regis
tration unless the teacher at the
same time sends in a report of the
reading circle work and also her cer
tificate for registration. Certificates
can not be registered until the read
ing circle work is completed, and
contracts are not valid until the cer
tificate is registered.
The National Educational Asso
ciation will meet at St. Paul, Minn.,
July 6-11. It is not likely that
many of our teachers can attend, but
those residing in the middle West,
who go home for vacation, may be
able to attend.
