The life itoiy of William Freder- «Iclu, who settled in Sea onff wtaen < tbat community was a hamlet with on- « ly ten^ twfldentB, ia one of strange ro- ** mance.
Mr. Frederick was bom In the wlldB ^^iWIWMo, the cou of a Gennau ^ teXhet aad a CUi^pewa Indian mother. When bis mother died and his father *^^ef WUed by the Indians, young *»f«SerJekB was adopted by the tribe and btodgtat ti;> as one of them, ^t the. age of ten he rau away froEn the encampment and traveled over thir¬ teen states before be finally reached Patterson, N. J. After several yeard Mr. iTrederleku went to Baltimore, where he helped .string tho Urst telo- ' graph wire frem that city to Weshing- '¦; ton. He •¦saw the first railroad train (uU out of Baltimore.
Coming to Long Island he li^ed to Bee the north shore grow from a '-spareely settled section to a one of modern life aud activity. Uo eaid villages grew where once there were farms and forests. He died at tbe ag- of ninety-three.
"Those who come after me," he
' OBCe prophecled, "will be a part of a
'lA>tig Island development which will
make hundreda of men rich. Long
•Island Is a land of opportunity."
No one will doubt that this vener able observer knew what he was talk ing about
The InstructionB from Freeport'e Board of Health to the owners of property bordering village creeks thai the banks must bo cleaned should be carried out In no half hearted way. The winter's accumulation of refuse
^OMAyi Madlly ufider the rays of thc summer sun and naturally becomes a breeding place for disease. The com-
"•ftfon'welfare d<miands that our water¬ ways be kept wholesome.
THE aiV£A OF DOUBT
'^Colonel Roobevelt says he will not be a candidate tor Governor.
A number euthuaiastic and Inac- cur«tfl Profresslves said he would be a cBidldate. "TW» settled-one rtver of doubt.
Col. Rosevelt saya he hns not made a statement coneernlug the political situation in 1916 to any human being '• A'AiaaAbee of e&rnest but 111 Inforiu- «d^'P»*tf«*rtte3 have sought to create the Impresnlon that the whole businosr; of 1916 is as good as setlted.
This takes us to the source of an¬ otlier river of donibt
fb^WliSkau Post sometime ago said that when Col. R»oBe\'elt got ready lo D like a move h0 trotild do so ii a ti-DDk and businelsHkA way. Theio Ir dbly one «uthorlSv«rD«adqunrtera Ior KabiSMfa^wB and tbat Is T. R. him¬ self.
»HE PUPILS' OABD
Tbe Becessity of knowing the ptaysi- cal condition and the intellectual limi¬ tations of each pupil in a school Is now generally accepted as an ewen. tlal prcre<]iils!te of modem teacl^ing^ All children In a given grade may bot be measured with a comnron yard «tlck. All little babies and all little brains are not alike, as grade teachera know {rom experience.
The graded system in our publl schools offers no practical opportunity for individual teaching. Clasaea must progress en marae, usually at the pace of the least efflcient.
District Superintendent Mephaui of Merrick in the absence of a better method plans tbe keeping of a mental and phy.slcal biography of each pupil in the Nsmsau schools. This record is to be set forth on a card which will move with the pupil as he passes from one grade to another.
A careful examination of such a card, assuming that It is intelligently k.ept, will do uiuch to explain the in¬ dividual charatteristica of a pupil and simplify teaching. It cannot fall to bo of Infinite benefit to the sbu-normal pupil, who, under present condltlor.c, as likely as not is mlBunderstood and jflven a claBslflciftlon not warranted by conditions.
The card biography will be an in¬ telligent worker for sanity in our .schools. The announcement of its adoption more than anything else made the recent teacln;rb' institute worth while.
Our salutation lo Wellington C. Mep¬ ham for another evidence of his men¬ tal progression.
If an automobile or other vehicle Hhould become damaged in the cross¬ ing planking tbat stretches frora the Freeport Ciub along the curb line to tlie railroad tracks, or if a pedestrian .'Should be maimed by failing through the loose board.s, the authorities will not'be able to plead that they were ignorant of the danger. If a stitch In timo saves uine, a plank in time may be the means of saving ninety-nine.
PETTIT'l^ FEVER
If a competent diagnostician has es¬ tablished that Sheriff Pettit is really sick with and of scarlet fever, there need be no alarm or feeling of con cern. He will pull through, for he U a man of strong constitution, to say nothing ot his sturdy bylaws.
II is always good form to have your scarlet feer early in life. The same may be said of mumps, measles and chicken pox, but in' cases where a boy escapes attacks in his school daya he may not consider himself Immune in Jianhood.
It sounds odd now to say that "Steve Pettit's got th''scarlet feer." Thirty yeara huo it would have been perfectly natural.
People of Rooseyelt should not call for light In vain. Proper lighting is essential to comtnanlty comfort. Civ¬ ilization foltowB thd lamppoBt although It It^thhet utMsaons the gas bills.

TO ALL OANlJiDATBS]
William Church Osborn, chairman of the .reformed and purified Demo¬ cratic State Committee was tho host at a luncheon in Washington recently at which tbe Democratic Congressmen from New York State wero thc guests. Wheu the hee-In-the-bonnet course was reached Mr. Osborn took oocaslon to warn his guests, all of -whom are anxious to be their own able success- ors, that nominating petitions must be filed the flrst week in September. The man who wants to run for office on the Democratic ticketmust get the signatures of .3 per cent, of the en¬ rolled Democrats to a petition desig¬ nating ihm as a candidate in the pri¬ maries. If aspiring to the House of Representatives, the candidate must get 3 per cent, of the signatures in the Congressional district. If to tue Unit> ed States Senate, three thousand sworn signatures from any part of thft State will do. The winner In the pri¬ maries will be the nominee of his par¬ ly for tl?e November election.
Chairman Osborn pointed out that, before the primaries, voters ought to be made acquainted with --e candi¬ dates, their personalities and records. He asked the Congressmen to "help the '^tate organization to persuade everybody who thinks of running for Olfflce to get out into the open early, ao that tbe voters may taiow him and Jodss him."
Americans Can^t Catch Pish; SoLivingfCost Remains High
Government's Woman Chemist Tells Oyster Growers' and Deal¬ ers' Convention of Good Things That Conae From Sea
Special to The Na«sau Pott
'We Americans do not know how to cook fish. And this is th^ principal reason why the public does not real¬ ize lhat in marine food lies the solu¬ tion of the high co«t of living."
Before a gathering of over 200 dele. gates to the Oyster Growers' and Deal¬ ers' Association of North America al the Hotel Rudolf, Atlantic City, on Wednesday afternoon, this blunt truth, emphasized and supplemented by a hundred other obtervations was e.\- ploded by a small, trimly gowned wiv man. Dr. Mary E. Pennington, chief of the Research Laboratory of the Untted Stales Department of Agricul¬ ture, who knew whereof she spoke. Coming from a woman, the declara¬ tions, boldly lettered, were received with unusual Interest and enthUsiaum —and some surprise.
"It may be of interest to dealeri* and consumers throughout the land, especially near the Kcaboards, to know that the ray or 'skate' is really one of the most delU;lous foods when it is fried In butter," she continued, pun(- tuating her last remark with the stamii of a very small foot.
Although the audience that heard Dr. Pennington wa.-i entirely represen¬ tative of the asaociation, it i.s doubtful if a single Long Islander hard her, al though her lalk dealt with reference.- 10 the fishing grounds of New York and ils vicinities. Shy waa apparent¬ ly familiar with every Inch of tlie Great South Day and the ocean beyond Long Beach and Fiie Island. At vari¬ ous times during her talk she nien- Lioned Long Islaud Sound and ils won¬ derful marine resources.
Dr. Pennington wns easily the stell¬ ar attraction of the last day ot the big convention. When she was intro¬ duced it was amid hearty applause and cheers. She held her in hand a fat book which she immediately laid upon the speakers' table. Then she turned to the assemblage.
"This tells all I know, have read or even heard aboul shell flsh or anv olher kind of flsh. It contains every thing about the fishing industry where ever there la a auch a thing. But have no fear I'm not going to read it all or even a part. I'm going to try and be original.
"My department haa nothing lo do wilh the pure fbod administration, the seizure or the Court proceedicgs for law violations. Not a thing. We are a part of the industry in which you are engatjed, earnestly seeking to help you, but depending upon your assist¬ ance in the practical side of the prob¬ lem while we delve inlo the scienti¬ fic."
There was no promise made b.v Dr. Pennington during her introductory remarks that she did not fulfil before
she had concluded with her long, in tereallng and practical talk. She teld of the government's desire to advance the fishing Industries of the country and showed by comparative statist ins that the I'nited Statea was a iiif-at eating nation.
In speaking of Dr. Allsberg. who aucceeded Dr. Wiley, as chief of thn bureau.-she declared that he was en- ihualastic in his 3Ui>port of research inlo the fish industry. "Indeed," ahe
laaid shyly, "il is really Wa first love.' Dr. Pennington announced lhat the Ilil.OOO apnroprialion for the work, now contained in a bill p«-ndmg in Congress, waa but a drop in the bucke' of the amount she soon expected to see dfvoled each year by the Federal Government to studying the dlstr^u- lion of marine foods.
"ll will only be a question of Ume when the budget contributed by Uie govcrniiienl lo our bureau for the ex¬ periments inlo the best methodi", from all Btandpoinls, Into the handling of lhe marine pioducts from the lime they are caught until they are eaten by the consumer, will be one of the heaviest on the Us'." she picdictcd.
"The United Slates now leads all nations in the consumption of meats. Per capita we consume 160 pounds annually, just I'.O pounds more than Lngland, our near"st competitlor. Th-? nations of Europ-j long ago realized that the lands devoted lo the raising of cattle would be needed for .some thing eale and recognized thai (he sea should supply the ..ubstituU-s In foods. "We growl nbout the high cost of living. Here is one of the' reasons: We fail lo realize, what Europe re- cofiuized centuries ago. that the ma¬ rine products furnished the solution of the pioblem. It is up lo you, witli out asKistance. (o drive this truth hoiic,' the Hiieal:"! informed the con¬ vention. • The State governniehls, be¬ cause of their limited jurisdiclion by reason of their boundaries, could noi li.mdle tlie problem of safeguarding Uie publh liealili through administra¬ tion of thf industry wilh Lhe thorough¬ ness of the Federal (lovernnient, she said and the latter was now working on the "constructive" idea—how to prodnce a better quality, minimum waste, solve the question of niaintain- lug the iisli, shell and otherwise in the state of freedom from baoterial growth from the time it is caught or lon^'ued until It reache."? the cxjnauiiier. Carlion Hates, also of the Federal Bu¬ reau of Chemistry, outlined the work done under his deparliiient with the small appropriation allowed them. His statements dealt largely with the investigations for pollution and cor-
, reeling this wherever found. He men-
j tioned Long Island as one of the few places where salt water producta were
1 practically free from bacterial growth
land disease.
I "The oyster industry of New Jeraey has never Jjeen given a square deal be-
I cause BO few people understand its value and scope," according lo Charles
I It. Bacon, chief of the New ,Iers(>y Pu-
Ireau of s.iiell Fisheries in his brief ad- dres sio the convention. This^ Slate,
be pointed out ranked third among the 21 alatea of tbe Union producing shellfiah, gtvlng an annual output worth more than 12,000.000 a ysar to lhe plantera and fchlppera who heve more than <1««000.000 invested in She buaineas. The oyster. Chief Baeon.as-j serted waa about the only arUcle of i food that haa not respoad<>d to tbe call of the high cost of living He aald that New Jorsey had awakaoed to the Importance of the industry and by timely regulailons had increased iia value. Had not this occurred, ho a»er- red. not a dollar's-worth of oysters would be going on the market thia year, for it stopped thoiie engafied in the industry from "iaki&s all and leav- ing nothing."
Thoae in charge of directing the In¬ dustry for the State' have a big prob¬ lem on their bands, the speaker de- ! clared, .t>ecau«e tiujy w< re not mlBis- ' lering to a aporting propoaltlon Uke | the fish and game comuikaluus, but 10 serving a great bu.siness.
