On1 The Teachers' Association met In the
ol- court house Saturday. There were few
present, yet we had a very interesting
meeting. The topies disoussed and the
discussions were such that will surely

a Devotional exercises were conducted

is After which Mr. Bomar, of Bloomville,
at and Miss Murchison of Oakdale school.
read splendid papers on "Relative Co

One of the teachers to whom this sub
y ject had been assigned being absent,
at after brief discussion the next papers
were presented. "School Credits for
i Home Industrial Work," was present
s' ed by Miss Edge. After some discussion
of this subject, the question box wasi
id opened and the round table discussions
on. "How best Improve a Child Moral

ie quest of 'please allow my boy or girl to
e stop History or Latin or Algebra."
"The economy of time in the ungraded
country school." "What should be the
special attitude of the teacher toward
pupils who attend irregularly?"
Field Day plans were then discussed.

THE PENNSYLVANIA-THE WORLD'S
GREATEST BATLESHIP
LAUNCHED YESTERDAY.
Newport News, Va., March 15.
Picked workmen were busy tonig
completing preparations for the laun(
ing tomorrow of the battleship Pen
sylvania, which will be the large
fiaghting ship afloat. Little now r
mains to be done before the trigger
palled to slide ihe giant craft into ti
water. Elaborate arrangements ha'
been made by the Newport Nei
Shipbuilding Company for entertaini
the parties of Secretary Daniels ai
Governor Brumbau, h, of Pennsylvan
due here early tomorrow for tt
launching.
In size and gun power the Penns3
vania is greater even than the Que(
Elizabeth, of the British navy, whic
led the recent terrific assault of tt
allies on the forts of the Dardanelle
While the British monster carrii
larger guns, her main battery is on:
two-thirds the size of that of the Pen:
sylvania in number and the America
battleship is 3,000 tons greater in siz
The main battery of the Penns
vania will consist of twelve 14-inel
45-calibre rifles, set in four turret
three gun to a turret; the plan of bi
gun arrangement adopted in the sisi
ships, which preceded her, the Nevai
and Otdahoma. Her tonage moasur
ment is 21. 400 against 27,500 for tt
Nevada and Oklahoma and the Quec
Elizabeth. Tbe latter, however, ca
ries eight 15-inch rifles, 45-calibre, sq
two to a turret-, while the Nevada am
Oklahoma bave ten 14-inch rifnles eac
in two three-gun and two two-gun tui
rets. In all these ships, including tb
Pennsvlvania, the turrets are all a
the centre line to concentrate the
ire on either broadsine.
BIG BRITISH SNIPS.
Five battleships of the British nav
yet to be launched will have less toi
nage tan the Pennsylvania, the shii
Df the Royal Sovereign class being 4
?4500 tons displacement, and none wi
equal the Pennsylvania in armamen
Each is designed to carry eight 15-!nc
guns.
Details of four other British battli
ihips, already authorized, are ni
kuown here officially.
Five ships of the Japanese nav:
estimated for in 1914 add known as th
Fuso class, will not equal the Penj
ylvania in tonnage with their di
)lacement of 30,000 tons, but will car
,he same main battery of twulve 1
nch riffles. They will exceed th
?ennsy!vania in speed, estimates cal
lg for 22 knots against 21 knots fi
he Pennsyivania.
The 1914 estimates for the Germa
iavy call for three ships of the Kaise
Predrich III clais, with a displacemet
)f 59,000 tons and carrying eight 11
nch rifies.
The British ships of the Queen Eli:
ibeth class greatly exceed those <
my other navy in speed, requiremeni
:alling for 25 knots an bour, while th
Eoyal Sovereign class will make i
east 22.5 knots.
JEALOUSLY GUARDED.
Since the outbreak of the war detail
is to foreign naval programs have bee
jealously guarded and it is probab!
that Great Britain, Germany an
France have laid down many vesse
>f which no report has been made. E
ir as is known, however, no vesse:
zave been planned which will excee
in size the three American ships of th
Daliforcia class, work on which hi
barely sta-Led. These will have a die
placement of 32,000 tons each and arma
nent Equal to tnat of the Pensylvanii
The cruisiag radius of the Pcnnsy
rania wi.l b? considerably increase
by the icet th~ ahe w il[ be eqiippe
ror oil ?uei .xiausively 4ad will hav
a capa-ity at 2.322 tos of fuel oil. Tb
Queet El z.or h ha-; a ea pacity of 4,90(
~ons os qvii beca'ase of her high spee
requiremeuits.
From her enormousi main batter
~he Pennsylvania will be able to hui
with the pres.sure of a single firin
ever, 1 1-2 tons of steel on eitbe
aroadside. In addition she will carr
a secondary battery of twenty-two
nch rifles for defence against torped
beats. She will be fitted also wit
;ubmerged 21-inch torpedo tubes an
ten ship's company will be compose
>f 85 officers, 863 bluejac~kets and 1
narines The ship measures .608 fe4
>ver all and 97 feet beam and he
mean draft is 28 feet, 10 inches, almue
~he limit in size for the Panama Cani
and present navy dry docks. Ther
ire only few docks in the world- whic
san receive her and she could n<
enter many busy harbors, except unde
most favorable conditions of tide an
wind.
MORE THAN $13,000,000.
When completed the Pennsylvani
will have cost the Government mor
hani $13,000,000. She will be ready ft
sommission, under contract, by Febri
try 28. 1916. Her keel was laid Oct<
ber 27, 1913.
The enormous size of the new shi
and the startling rapidity with whic
battleship construction had develope<
even before the great war, is indicate
by comparison of the Pennsylvani
with the British battleship dread
naught, first of all the big-gun-ships
any navy. The dreadlnaught was est
mated for 1907. She was designedt
displace -17,900 tons, but actuallyi
considerably larger. In the main ba
tery are ten 14-inch guns with a broa<
side fire of six guns and her trial spee
was 21.2 knots.
The Pennsylvania will be equipp-e
with turbine engines, as is the Oklah<
ma, the Queen Elizabeth and all of tt
newest, English, German and Japanes
battle craft. The Nevada will be ope
ated by reciprocating engines, whi:
the California, of the 32,000 class, wi
be driven by electricity.One of the otl
er two American battleships of ti
Califonia class will have turbine er
gines and the other reciprocatingi
line with the navy department's polic
of not entirely abandoning the recipr
cating type until a thoroughly satisfa
tory marine turbine is found. If ti
experiment on the Califonia with eles
drive, current to be generated by steal
turbines running at high speed, is si
cesssful, the engine problem may t
solved, It already has proved satisfai
tory in a navy collier and the exper
ment with the Califonia only needs1
determine whether it is equally eff
cient in high power plants.

There are four kinds of barriers or
divisions set up by nature upon the
face. of the earth-mountains, forests,
deserts, rivers. The first, the moun
tains, man cannot remove, but he can
and does go through them to save the
trouble and difficulty of going over
them. The second, the forests, he has
largely cleared away altogether. The
third, the deserts, he Is beginning to
treat like the forests. The fourth, the
rivers, he Is beginning to shift when It
suits his purpose and to regulate their

to make potash.. Last year the .sun
