Better Make Children go to School
(Wilkesboro Chronicle.)

In our zeal in the educational move
ment we are liable to go to hurtful
extreme. The papers and officials are al
ready talking of compulsory education
That's dangerous ground. A mule can't
be made to drink water even though you
stuff education into an unwilling mind.
The only true bases for education is the
desire and incentive for it. Make in
ducemcnts and incentives and create de-
sires and our people surely educate
themselves. OF course there ought some.
thing to be done with parents who wont
let their children go to school

GROWTH OF CITIES.
influence of Electric Roads on Urban
Population.

In looking for an explanation of the
astonishing growth of urban popula-
tCnS it Is not necessary to 20 beyond
the Improvement In facilities for com
munication between centcrS Of popula-
ton and their suburbs. says the New
York Times. About 1880 the horse
car became in Il small way Il factor in
determining the diffusion of popula-
tion. gradually building up suburbs to
which the leisure classes withdrew
when seeking rural surroundings with
out entire separation from the advan-
tagCS of ncarncSS to a city.
ANYTHING within an hour of the bust
ness center of n town or city was con
sidrrcd us admitting of suburban de
velopmcnt. and an hour by the horse
car did not take the passenger very
far aiicld.
With the passing of the horse car
and the advent Of the trolley car, the
area of accessible suburbs expanded
very rapidly. In an hour n passenger
is whirled past the utmost limit Of
horse car service and into what five or
ten years ago were farm lands, worth
no more by the acre than they are now
valued at per villa site, or under ex
Crpti0nally favorable conditions per
front foot The suburbs were removed
five six. eight, and even ten miles from
the former city limits, and the nearby
'i':hborhoodS were left no recourse
.r"pt to annex themselves to and be-
&, me wards of the cities they had for
Ih,rly surrounded.
This tendency Is noticeable in nearly
every large city, and 1t Is encouraged
and facilitated by the electric railroad.
which is bringing everything within n
radius of five to ten miles as near for
all practical purposes as ncighhorhoods

This means that what under the con

tric railroads would have been a rcla-
lively small city surrounded by a fringe
Of villages and having within n given

DELIVERY OF MILK.


Discussing the danger that mcnaCcS
ncr in which milk Is often delivered,
the New York Evening Post takes the
board of health of Utica to task for its
attitude in this matter. The Post says:
"'Thr board of health in Utica has de-
cidcd to recommend that the use of
bottles for milk has no advantage 50
far as the public health is concerned;
that 1t Is more of Il fad than ncCCSSi-
ty; that milk served from thoroughly
cleaned cans into the vessels furnished
by the people themselves would avoid
the danger arising from the use of bot
ties gathered from places where infcc-
tiouS diseases have been prevalent and,
unknown to the milk dealer, used by
him the next day.
"rhiS is Voicing the argument OF the
Indifferent milkman, who knows little
of sanitary laws and cares less. 1t has
been repeated so often that members
of the Utica board of health must have
heard 1t that the conveyance of milk
in cans, which must be opened oCCa-
sionally, and in open pals from the de
livery wagon to the consumers can or
pitcher on the kitchen steps is Il dan
gcrOuS practice, submitting the milk
to infection from the microbr laden
dust of the city streets. As To the dan
gers from the use of unclcan bottles,
that may be avoided by requiring the
dairyman to StcriliZc his bottles. 1t is
his business and not that of his patrons
to wash those rcCCptaClCS.'
This is a question that boards of
health generally should interest them
selves in and see to ii that the laws of
sanitation are strictly observed.
