x Brown as one of it's vice
AD presidents, the National
Education association con-
ferred timely recognition upon one Of
the greatest factors in the educational
life Of the middle and western states
Mr.. Brown, as principal and founder
of the largest normal school in the
United states, an academic and semi
collegiate institution attended annual
ly by upward of $500 pupils, mostly
representing the spirit of self-heIp,
and gathered together from every
state and territory in the Union, has
contributeds perhaps more than any
oAer individual now living, to the ad-
Vshcement of American democracy in
.non-partisan sense and to the pro-
mption sof elementary culture and
pIlctbal' knowledge. During the
tySentY-seS years OF it's existence,
the Northern Indiana Normal school,
atsValparaiso, Ind, has ministered eff
feetively to the educational wants of
an, immense army of earnest young
men and young women coming from
the farms and humble village homes
of the middle and western states, un-
tiI,its alumni are a host in every Sec
tian and prominent throughout all vo-
cations In life. No one can measure
thH impetus which this great school
has Impaired to the intellectual life of
ous newer commonwealths, where only
in recent years there has upgrown the
facilities for university and post-grad-
uate training, What the International
Correspondence schools of this city
haYe been in ministering TO a vast
hunger for technical training on the

The decision on the part of the state
dairy commissioner to cause the arrest
of vendors who doctor their milk with
chemicals to keep ii sweet is one of the
most effective moves that has been
made I'm the interest of pure food. Il
has heretofore been intimated that
some of the Scranton dealers were
guilty of using drugs to keep their
milk from souring, though it Is not
practiced to any extent at present. The
chemical used is injurious, and in the
case Of milk fed TO children is gener-
ally fatal in results. The knowledge
that dairy officials are on the lookout
will probably cause hesitation on the
part of the INSCRIPTIONS producer or
dealer who may be tempted to save an
occasional dollar by the use Of preserv-
ing material in milk.

The attempt to Introduce politics

proper condemnation from all quar-
