Last Thursday morning, a deputy
milk inspector visited this city and tes-
ted the milk sold by a plumber of dealers.
Some was condemned, and one lot which
ran below 20, was ordered thrown into the
gutter In one case, out of hundred
quarts, ten quarts in one can was declared
"of" and was condemned, but in a short
time afterward the same can of milk was
tested in another part of the town (the
deputy not recognizing the dealer as one
whose supply he had already examined)
and passed it as up to the mark. This is
explained by the fact that when first test
ed it was warm and the second time it
was cold, there being, it is said, differ
ence of six degrees between warm and
cold milk. We are informed that the
milk inspector stated that with one ex-
ception, the milk sold in Lambertvile
was the poorest he had tested in the
State. Such statement is obviously un-
fair. just at this time when cows are
off grass and hardly on winter feed, the
milk is naturally its poorest. Only test
with milk sold elsewhere produced at the
same time of the year would be fair. A
large majority of our dealers are honora-
BILE, trustworthy men, and are above
watering and doctoring their milk. How
ever, little stirring up will make all
hands more careful to produce the best
milk possible. This can only be done by
careful feeding of their stock, land keep
ing away from the pump handle.

Centennial Building and Loan Association.
This association held its regular month


This association held its regular month
ly meeting in its room, last Monday even
ing. The several propositions offered at
tho last meeting for change in the
Bylaws and laid over for action at this
meeting, were adopted without any OPP
position. The main object of most of
them is to facilitate the disposition of the
money and charging the powers of the
directors, in that direction.
Ten cash loans were sold at the follow
ing prices: two at So two at 1915, and
five at 81. All the funds on hand were
disposed of, but the demand was for more.
One of the indications of better times
coming, is this demand for money, to be
invested in homes or in business.
The affairs of this institution has to all
appearance been conducted with great
care and prudence. There will be, SO far
as we can judge, no material losses when
the day of settlement comes.

CoRsIoANA, Feb. o. Editor HER
ALD.l-I do hope that there win be
nothing done in school matters by the
present Legislature calculated to check
educational progress. The cause has
been looking up for year or more, to
the great admiration of the friends Of
the cause, and is in such shape as to
need little legislation, il any. What we
need most now is good school houses
and good teachers. Our books are good
enough--all books made at present are
good enough--but many OF our teachers
could be improved upon. A little "uni-
fOrmity" in that line would be well
enough, but that is q matter wo must
attend TO ourselves. II we pay enough
we can secure talent. This will bring
competition in that line from other
states, 30 that we can have such teach
ers as can be trusted with the education
and moral training of our children. This
class of teachers will be able to teach
! in any of the books used in our schools;
in fact, they can teach without books
here ii necessary. 1t is the poorly edu-
Gated teacher who wants to change
books, that he may get something no is
used to-something he has committed
to memory. II Is necessary to have
uniformity of textbooks in school, and
indeed it would be well to have IL in a
county if it could be had without max
ing it cost tho people too much. But
when there is uniformity in district,
why should tho people OF that district
be put at great expense in order that
the people of tho next district might
have the same kind of books in their
school, and why should the people OF
that other district throw away their
books, that they might have such books
as are used in the other district when
their own are satisfactory? Lot well
enough alone. A SCHOOL MAN
