rial courtesy" as to write letters of rec
ommendation for Quay to the Demo-
cratic members of the Pennsylvania
Legislature, who are cooperating with
n number of antI-Quay Republican
Legislators in n holy war to purge Con-
gress OF this vilest OF trading politi-
clans, were too too supcr-serviceable
and too too super oHicious, entirely, in
interfering where they certainly had
no business. and in n business which
their intrusion proves they do not I'M

If Quay by any possibility. can be
kept out of the Senate. it will be n
blessing and an honor to the State OF
Pennsylvania. the United States and
the Senate that his chair is vacant, I'M
til some man more fit can be chosen to
occupy it. When party breeds such
bosses, national chairmen and u. s.
Senators as Hanna and Quay, they are
probably quite worthy of 1t; but that
fact does not make them worthy legis-

RCHMOND'S QUARANTINE
AGAINST NORFOLK

The announcement in the Geographic
columns of Sundays Virginian- Pilot TO
the effect that the Board of Health of
Richmond had ordered IL conditional
quarantine against Norfolk, was TO be
expected. 1t is the legitimate outcome
of the ill-advised and hasty action of
our Board of Health in notifying all
railroad and steamboat lines plying be-
tween this city and Hampton, Newport
News or Suffolk that no persons shall
be allowed to pass to or from Norfolk
to these towns unless such person fur
nish satisfactory evidence of success
full vaccination. or be vaccinated.
1t was plainly seen by the conserva-
tive, sagacious business men that the
order Of the Board of Health would
react against our city. and the prompt
ness with which the health authorities
of Richmond took up the gaunt-
let thrown down to them Is
no surprise. The action of our
board was equivalent to saying, in so
many words. that persons who had not
been vaccinated could go to Richmond,
Petersburg. Baltimore. Washington. or
anywhere on earth except Newport
News, Hampton or Suffolk. regardless
of whether they had exposed
themselves to the danger OF contract
ing smallpox. These latter communities
were to be protected 10 the full extent
of the ability of our board. and Rich
mond and Baltimore and other towns,
must take care of themselves notwith-
standing their Health Boards, at our
earnest solicitation. refraned from
1eopardizing our business interests by
quarantining against our city.
We trust that our Board of Health
will see the mistake made and quickly
rescind the order, which is injuring
every business interest of the city.

In these ten years her average i'm
portation of flour from the United
States was the equivalent of 1882, 100
bushels OF wheat annually. That is to
say. seven-cighths of Great Brtains
total importation of -four is obtained
from the United States.
Great Britain's importation of wheat
is also more largely obtained from the
United States than from all other coun-
tries in the world. In the ten years
ended 1897 her average total importa-
ton of wheat was 12275S.797 bushels.
In these same ten years her average
importatio of wheat from the United
States was 47.S31 ,21S bushels That is
to say. 80 per cent, or almost two
fifths of Great Britain's total importa
ton of wheat is obtained from the
United States. In 1883 the percentage
was 25.57. In 1897 the percentage was
55.16. But it cannot be said that the
percentage is increasing. The average
percentage for the ten years ended 1887
was 53.6S.
The explanation of this last state
ment lies in the fact that while our
country is constantly growing in popu
lation and therefore constantly needing
an increased supply of wheat for its
own consumption our average produce
ton of wheat is increasing only suti
ciently fast to accommodate this In
crease of consumption. For the ten
years ended 1887 our total production of
wheat was 1850. 600, 900 bushels. or an
average OF 44G, 600. 600 bushels annually.
For the ten years ended 1897 our total
production OF wheat was 4.7l5,000 900
bushels, or an average of Al 800, goo
bushels annually. The increase in the
ten years. therefore. was only 90,
Geo bushels, or scarcely more than half
n years crop. The increase in our own
consumption of wheat for the same ten
years. rs compared with the preceding
ten years. was 225 ,3G1 .754 bushels. The
increase in consumption, therefore, al

AN ECLECTIC CURRICULUM.

We concur fully and heartily with the
Norfolk Landmark, the Hampton Mon
itor and other Virginia contemporaries
in protesting against the multiplication
of studies in the course prescribed for
all the students OF our public free
schools. The course has grown too great
and heavy already, and still the effort
Is to extend 1T. The small boy stands
It manfully. though under such n pres
sure 1t is not surprising that he resorts
to the cigarette habit. His erudition
prodigous in quantity and variety,
nmazes us, as we regard his puny pro-
portions:
"And still we gaze, and still the won
der grows,
THAT one small head can carry all he
knows"
But unQuestionably there are too
many studies. If every student is to
undertake all OF them; and we join the
demand for less accumulation upon
zone small head" Yet It is also true
that nothing worth knowing should be
EXCLUDED from our schools, particularly
II 1t pertain to any calling which MANY
OF the scholars will probably pursue in
inter life; and If Mr.. Soiner. the State
Commissioner OF Agriculture, urges
that agricultural chemistry should be
taught, especially to boys in the coun-
try. he has good reason for so doing. II
would be, and is, wofully lacking sys-
tenn Of education which teaches moth
ang Of the principal science which has
to do with agriculture to boys who are
to be farmers. AS in the German Uni
versailles and the University of Viz
ginia, everything should be taught but
every student. or his parents, or guar
nians, ehouid select or elect his course.

nually. Our exports of all sorts during
me ten years ended 1897, including

forest products, fishery products and
manufactures. We're an average of $S53.-
62'i24 annually. 1t Will thus be seen
That cur export of wheat and wheat
Hour Is over one-seventh of our total
exports of all sorts With the excep-
ton of cotton, wheat and wheat -four
constitute the largest OF all our ex-
ports.
Every citizen should know where
this trade goes to. 1t is unsafe to take
the trade of any single year for our
guide. for almost any year, taken by
itself, would be misleading as to the
whole. For example. In 1892 we sent
France over $1,000. 600 bushels CT wheat
and in 1896 and 1897 together not even
n. half million bushels. In 1892 we sent
Belgium nearly 20.0O0,00o bushels Of
wheat and in other years not more than
100000 bushels. But taking the ten
years ended 1897 as the basis of our
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-03-07

people of the British islands number
40,000,000 and they require an average
Of six bushels Of wheat annually per
inhabitant. or 10000, 900 bushels in all.
or this amount they themselves pro-
duce about onefourth, or G0o00, 900
bushels. which leaves three-fourths, or
lS0,OOO,O00 bushels, or nine months
supply, to be procured from abroad.
In the ten years ended 1897 their an
nual importation of wheat Uncludng
wheat flour. which was about one
fourth OF the whole) averaged 165. 709-
Ii5 bushels. Their annual increase Of
demand is now about 1000. 900 bushels.
Great Britain's importation of flour
is obtained principally from the United
States. In 1897 her total importation of
flour was the equivalent OF $3.50. 5S2
bushels of wheat. OF this amount the
United States supplied the equivalent
Of 26.2o0.S77 bushels of wheat In the
ten years ended 1897 her total average
importation of -four was the equivalent
of 42,955,949 bushels of wheat annually

most exactly exhausted the increase In
production. For the ten years ended
1887 our expectation of wheat was an
average of 3l.23 per cent of our total
production For the ten years ended
1897 the average was only 30.45 per
cent.
Still. our expectation OF wheat,
though it represents less than third
OF our total production. is In the ag-
gregate enormous. In the ten years

SO that no one undertake too much by
essaying all.


This may require more teachers. or
Impose heavier tasks on the present
force of teachers, by reason of the in
creased number of classes required by
the eclectic or elective system. For all
that. it must be established; for, what
has proved so successful in UNIVERSE
ties should be adapted in. our public
schools. except the primary ones, where
the course is limited to reading, writ
Ing and arithmetic. AS to agricultural
chemistry, we fully agree with Com
missioner Koiner that 1t should be
made n leading study in country
schools. for boys. If not for girls also.
Agriculture needs all the learning that
can aid it in production. as it also
needs all the dignity and attractiveness
1t can derive from science.
Chemistry is q very interesting study.
and 1t becomes doubly interesting to
the country-boy as soon as he perceives
how 1t can be applied with effect and
profit, in so many ways, to all sorts OF
vegetable production. 1t is curious that
our free school superintendent have
not more fully understood its import
ance, and given It n proper place in our
schools. Better sacrifice all mere orna-
mental studies than permit this to be
neglected.
But for heavens sake, do not on any
account, over-burden the pupils. A few
studies, brief lessons, and n thorough
understanding of them is what is re-
quired. If n special study be necessary
to properly fit anyone for the vocation
he is to follow, let him take 1t, yet
without permitting him to assume too
much The eclectic or elective plan
solves all difficulties; as it embraces all
subjects, yet allows every one to take
what Is chiefly needed by him, and to
drop others not SO necessary.

such--that they can never be adjusted
TO Il right conclusion for IL their judg-

should see the right thing and the way
to do it. Hanna and Alger would in
fallibly over-rule him.
Thus. Mckinley was at first content
with Manila, as naval station but
Alger did not see where he could play
n part in holding a mere naval station;
and so he egged on Mckinley to de-
mand the entire Island of Luzon,
though we had no more use for all OF
it than we have for one of the moons

Kinley. perhaps, had some vague no.

Alger all such things are as pearls to
