Alfred Kirk, assistant superintend-
ent of schools, has proposed to the
board Of education that journalism
be taught in the public schools Of
Chicago. He believes it would be Of
more advantage for the pupils to do
general reportoriaI work instead Of
wasting their time in writing essays.
He thinks they should bs taught to
write readable accounts Of events
that come under their observation.

grinding out editors, but for the dis

Schurman, the President Of the Philip
pine Commission, in which DR.. Schur-
man states his view of the present
condition of the Philippine problem,
and gives his advice as to some i'm
portant points of the policy to be
pursued in the immsdiets future. One
Of the most notable suggestions made
BY DR.. Schurman is as follows:
I'VE should have an authoritative
declaration on the part of the United
States of the form of government and
Of the rights, privileges and immuni-
ties which the Filipinos are to receive
from u.s. l trust that the President
and Congress will soon agree upon
such a grant; and the sooner it is en-
acted the better. In my opinion,
nothing could so much contribute to
an adjustment. of our Philippine
troubles as such a piece of legislation
In . word, my advice il, increase
your military forcs to the utmost ex-
tent that may, under any circum-
etancss, b necessary, and With thsss
fgepee szmihilates or b rsady T. -
IL fse
the United States: but, at tie sams
time. tell the inhabitants of tie Philip
pine Archipelago. four-fifths Of whom
are at peace with you, what political
status and civil rights you propose to
confer upon them Such q declaration
may make the further exercise Of power
unnecessary. In any event it will tend to
satisfy all the races, except the Ts-
gslogs, who are now actually engaged
in war, and it cannot fail to have
great influence among men of INTEL
ligence and property who are now
committed to the Tagalog cause"

An investigation of the milk con-
densing industry brings out some de-
cidedly unique discoveries which are
new to the general public. The pro-
ductiveness of cows and the quality of
milk are subject to interesting varia-
tions, and there is what might be call
ed milk belt' running through the
United States The average milk of the
United States contains about ~ to ID
per cent of total solids. The principal
solids are butter fat, 375 per cent +;
casein, per cent; milk sugar, 5 per
cent. There is a trace of albumen and
so different solids which vary with To-
cality and season, but all of these com
bined would hardly make noticeable
trace. Cows south of the Ohio river
will not average above pounds and
Ia ounces Of butter to 100 pounds of
milk The cows of Texas only show II
per cent o. solids in their milk. Cows
through Indiana and the strip running
east and west will produce milk that
runs Az pounds Cows in Minnesota
and Manitoba will produce milk that
will give out five pounds and five ounces
of butter to 100 pounds.
The milk of Manitoba is probably the
richest in the world, yet all the COW
has is wild buffalo grass the year
around. The cows of Norway also pro-
duce very rich milk. Asa general prop
osition, the farther north the richer
the milk The reindeer milk has 8 per
cent of solids The general impression
prevails that the richest milk comes
from the goats of Switzerland. This is
a mistake. To begin with, there are
more goats in the Hudson river valley
than there are in all Switzerland, and
even the richest milk Of Switzerland
comes from the cows, whose milk does
not average as high as the product of
the Indiana and Illinois COW. Indian

The south is in pitiable condition
regarding the tameness with which she
submits to be the favorite dumping
ground for all kinds of adulterated food
products. Our people, individually,
complain about the frauds practiced
upon them in this matter, but there is
little organized effort made in any quar-
ter to put stop to these evils. In some
southern states the influences Of the
cottonseed oil interests have up to this
time been too strong to admit of legis-
lation against adulterated and counter
felt lard and butter, While in Mexico
recently we learned that the laws Of
that country were very strict in refer
ence to the sale of counterfeit and adul-
terated food products of all kinds and
that the laws are seemingly enforced
with more vigor than with us. There
oleomargarine and like products may
be sold under their true names, but
woe be unto the person or firm that
dares to sell counterfeit for the genu-
inc. Southern Dairyman.
