The editorial on our public schools in

The editorial on our public schools in
recent issue, has received many COM
mendations from our most intelligent cit
liens. The evils complained of are not
peculiar to our city, however, judging
from the criticisms we see in other news
papers. A parent writes to the PhitG-
delphiG Times a letter, in which he
makes some criticism on the public
schools as they are conducted in Il a city.
Among other things he says the follow
ing:
s'Having three children at school, it has
become the work of an entire evening to
hear the lessons they are given 10 study
at home. hysiology-sometimes three
pages or more 10 length-a study they all
dislike, and constantly complain that it is
useless to them. My daughter parlicu-
larly objects to ii, as she says that she
does not propose TO be a physician, and
thinks some of the more necessary studies
wonld be better. In fact, the children
have actually 10 be forced TO study their
physiology lesson, which is done with
very bad grace-and they simply learn
IL TO say it off the next day, and then for
get ii. :" The parent concludes his letter
by saying, "readiue, writing and arith-
metic are all lamentably bad"
Commenting on this letter, the editor
of the Doylestoecp Democrat, a graduate
of the U. S. Military Academy at West
Point, remarks
SIT is questionable whether what the
Philadelphia parent says about the public
schools OF that city will not apply, to
some extent, at least, 10 the common
schools OF the State. Tie time was
when the 'three RS, - as they were call
ed, reading, writing and arithmetic, were
considered the ground work OF good ed
ucation. but they are hardly thought SO
now. Most lads, except the children Of
the well-to-do parents, begin TO make
their way in life from twelve 10 fifteen,
but II they are not good spoilers, good
penmen and good at figures they make
sorry fist in the attempt at anything
above the lowest calling. A knowledge
of all the "ologiesn in the world will not
compensate boy, or girl, either, for de-
ficiency in these three fundamental
branches. II a boy have an aptitude fer
physiology, or any her of that family
of studies, and bis mind runs that way he
will be sure 10 take ii up after he leaves
school. Some Ct the profoundest schol
airs the world ever saw, in every depart
ment OF learning, were men not trained in
their specially at school. II our pgblic
schools were kept arer 10 whit their
founders Intended they should be-, and
some Of the dress parade Of learning omit
led, we believe they would better equip
twe-thirds of their pupils to begin life
than they are now equipped. There is
more examining now ndays, bnt we do
net believe the average boy can spell MS
well, write as well, or is as good AT fig
ures as the average boy was fifty years
ago.

SWEET CORN AS A FARM CROP.
Some OF the Advantages Derived Froi
Growing tho Sweet Varieties.


Some OF the Advantages Derived From
Growing tho Sweet Varieties.
II is q matter Of surprise to American
Cultivator that the sweet varieties OF
corn are not moro generally cultivated.
Following is what this authority says
ON the subject:
Tho grain yield of sweet corn is as
large as that Of other corn, fer though
the ears are generally small, most kinds
OF sweet corn will bear two, three and
occasionally more ears on stalk. For
those who merely grow corn to feed, the
sweet variety has great advantages Its
stalks are richer and sweeter than ordi-
nary field corn, if they are cut, as all
corn should be, when the grain has just
begun to harden. Besides this, sweet
corn generally brings considerably
higher price in the market than other
corn.
There are some difficulties in proper
ly drying sweet corn, because of the ex-
cessive amount of moisture it contains,
which, with its sweetness, makes its
especial value. But when sweet corn
begins to dry it dries out more quickly
than amy other. If always cut and
huslSed early, the ears can be placed for
day or two in an evaporator, which
every farmer should have. In this time
they will dry so much that the corn can
then be put in large cribs without dan
ger of becoming moldy. But large
portion of the sweet corn crop is sold in
its green state and for much higher
prices than ordinary corn brings by the
bushel. Twelve to / 5 cents is the price
which green corn usually brings early
in the season. This soon runs down, but
even at the lowest rates corn sold by the
dozen ears brings more than ordinary
corn will after being husked, cared for
until dry and shelled. The price paid
by canning factories is still lower than
that sold to grocers and private houses
But the farmers near q canning factory
have always found sweet corn one of
their best paying crops, and they have
learned to grow it to the exclusion of
ordinary corn, feeding the surplus ON
their farm.
Sweet corn when thoroughly dried can
be ground and makes light, palatable
and easily digcsted meal. Ground with
the cob, mixing a little common corn
and oats with it, so as to make the cob
griHd nicre finely, gives a feed that will
be eaten by all stock and that will be less
likely to cloy them than ordinary grain
meal. But there is still more profta-
BILE use for sweet corn if cut while very
green and its grain sliced from the
green cob and spread thinly in an evap-
orator. This, if put when fully dry in
bags i'll cool place, will keep in good
condition for using after being soaked
in water few hours to regain its orig
inal freshness. Corn so prepared is quito
as good as canned corn and is less trou-
BILE to prepare. 1t is easy in almost any
locality to create demand for this
dried sweet corn by leaving some at
stores to be sold or giving a little on
trial to those who will be likely to be-
come customers. Wherever this evapo-
rated corn is once tried it will soon
create steady and paying demand for it.
