COUNT!' SCHOOL NOTKS ,
W. E. VOSS, Superintendent
Some cases of school district treas
urers paying current expenses out of
funds on hand when they have war
rants outstanding and registered
against the funds come to my atten
tion from time to time. The inter
pretation of the law is thfs: "Mon
eys in the treasury must be used for
the purpose of paying outstanding
warrants, and' the treasurer lis JiaJije,
under his bond if he uses money for
any other purpose as long as there
are warrants outstanding against the
fund." It should be clear from
this that it is a serious matter to
not follow the law. Besides, it is
likely to bring a district into a sit
uation financially that will be sur
rounded by unpleasantness among the
patrons and that will finally put un
due burdens on the taxpayers. Just
how and why it works out this way
is a long story which is better taken
for granted than worked out through
experience.
The school treasurers who do not
follow the law in the disposition of
the funds that come into their hands
when their districts are not on a
cash basis seem to do so for personal
convenience or because they find it
easier to meet the wishes of some
individuals to pay out the available
cash. Thoy have no business to let
such things induce them to set the
law aside or to circumvent it.
Again they will let pressuro from
their patrons bring them to juggling
funds about that have been voted at
an annual meeting in order to fur
nish a school that will satisfy some
interested patrons. This, too, is a vU
olation of law. In oither case, those
who receive such benefits are not en
titled to them. It pays any public
officer to stay by the law, and to let
those who seek to work him be son
tent with what tho law allows. It
is only a "grafter" who asks more.

Rg'COnDS GROWTH OF TREE
Apparatus Known as the "Dendo
grpph" Does Useful Work In Gar
den of New York Park.
A ntnpV lice In the ISotnnU'l gar-
Jens of itronx park In New York Is
he suliei't of n very Interesting ex
,ijjliuciit. It Is being lived In a test of
Mu- driiilruguipli, hh nppanitiis for
recording the growth of u tiee.
To a enMiul observer the tiee ap
'car to be merely the vent nil siip
finit of u wire cage, such as might be
ti.sed fur housing miiu small tuilnml,
mil iimny vlbltois possibly approach
it Avlth that Hi inlntl. There are four
npinre walls of wire and 11 ioof which
meet the tree trunk above.
A eliwer look reveals that there are
no animals or .birds, nlthtttigl) some
thing that looks somewhat like a bird
lioiiM.' Is nttnehed to a-bracket at one
side. This In reality Is the little tin
house or cover of the iCcordlug drum
of'the dendmgrnph. Other parts of
the apparatus are the collar ami belt
if blocks which encircle the tree and
ihe lucordlng rod which marks the
tree's growth on the eyllmler. The
DcndoQraph In Pojltion.
collar arrangement Is In contact with
the trunk of the tree at only two
points.
The Instrument wns In.stnlled before
growth started. It gives a continu
ous record of all changes In volume
In the trunk of the tree. It records
these changes with extreme accur
acy. llalng been Mitlsfnctorlly Installed,
the tlcndogrnph needs no further ad
justment, or, In fact, attention of any
sor, eceptlng that once a week the
clockwork must he wound and a new
iecord sheet placed on the recording
cylinder.
The tree whose dally nnd hourly
growth Is thus being noted nnd record
ed Is n young Miga,r maple nbout a
foot In diameter, a natle tree, not
planted, but having sprung from a
chance seed.
The olllclal memoranda accompany
ing, the, dendogrnph stated that "the
Inurnment consists essentially of n
UvlC of blocks to he clamped around
t,ho trunk or a tree In such manner
that It Is believed -that no modifica
tion of the growth action of the tree
Is' caused except at the actual tangents
whore the blocks touch the tree. This
belt of blocks serves as n stable sup
port for the recorder and other parts,
of the apparatus."
The essential feature of the apparat
us Is the yoke, made up of slotted bars
of barle, an nlloy with n very low tem
perature coelllclent, which Is held In
position by the upright "fingers" of
spring brass wire which hold the
yoke In plnce without exerting any
notable pressure on the tree.
The War Is Over.
The Woman was passing n church
on n west-side corner. It was n crisp
evening and the electric light near by
circled full upon a crippled colored
man sitting on rhc top step of- the
church entrance. His dolnpldated nnpy
hat spelled ex-service man. As the
Woman slowed a Jaunty doughboy, cap
set nt perilous nngle, stopped at the
foot of tho stairs nnti breezed:
"Hello, old fellow, whnt's the mat
ter?" "All In, dead broke and hungry,"
was the reply.
The dotighboy turned his pockets
out ruefully, and as 11 bit of small
change clinked to the sidewalk he
stooped, picked It up and handed It to
the other, with:
"I'll get some more soon. Hope It
brings yer luck."
"Thanks, bo!" answered the other.
Tears iiuulu the Woman hurry on.
