SNOW WAS WET.
It Was Equivalent to 65-1OO
of an Inch of Water.

Observer t. B. Jennings says that the
snow which fell Monday contained an
unusually large amount of moisture.
THE snowfall in Topeka measured
4 inches and 3-tenths,'' said Mr.. Jen-
nings this morning. 1.-The melted snow
measured 60 hundredths of an inch of
water. The usual amount of water to
be contained in that amount of snow
would be 43 hundredths of an inch. The
excess amount of water in this snow
was % hundredths of an inch. AS this
snow will help the winter wheat by
melting and affording moisture the
large percentage of water is especially
timely. Snow on the ground only ben
efits wheat during cold weather. 1t is
not necessary with the present mild
weather for the snow to remain on the
ground to benefit the CROP
The snow storm seems to be over, for
today's forecast sent out by the gov
eminent is Fair tonight and Wednes-
day. Moderate temperature" The wind
this morning was from the northwest,
blowing 20 miles an hour Up to noon
the ten perature had fallen four de-
grees. The hourly temperatures, re-

There is nothing more nutritfous than

Declaration of I'rin ciples.

y
4. 1902, by the teachers of the
Summer School of the South,
now in Session at Knoxville,
Tennessee:
We, the l, ZOO teachers attend
ing the Summer School of the
South, representing every south
crn State, do on this the day of
our national independence, unani-
mOusly adopt the following de-
claratiOn of educational policy:
We bear grcatful Testimony to
the great sacrifices made in be-
half of education by the people
of the South, who in their desc
latiOn and poverty have taxed
thems selves hundreds of millions
of dollars to educate two races.
Notwithstanding these efforts,
we are confronted with the APP
pallinG fact that the large major
| ity Of the 200, 900 white children
and $500, 900 black children of
the South are not provided with
good schools. In 1900 ten south
ern States having % per cent of
the school population of this
country, owned only 4 per cent
of the public school property
and expended only 8 ID per cent
of the public school moneys. We
and frankly face them. We
| therefore declare ourselves in
favor of Il public school system,
State supported and State di-
rected, in which every child NAV
have the open door of oppOrtu-
nifty.
Conscious of our dependence
upon the God of our fathers, and
believing that the highest and
trueSt civilization can be attained
only by following the preceptS
of the great teacher, Jesus
| Christ. we favor the recognition
of the Bible in our ublic schools.
We regard local taxation as
| the foundation upon which d
| public school system should be
| built, and therefore favor an
agitation in behalf of such taxa
| ton in every community.
If an Increased expenditure
of D,onev is to be of lasting value,
a more Intelligent interest must
be brought to bear open our
schools. But even greater than
the need of money and interest
is the need of intelligent direc-
ton
A mere extension of the pres
ent school term with the present
course of study will not meet
the needs of the children. The
lines of development in the
South must be both agricul-
tural and mechanical. Our peO-
pie must bring Il trained brain
and a trained hand to the daily
labor. Education should not be
a means of escaping labor, but
of making it more effective.
The school should be the
social center of the community.
and should actively and ~ympa-
thetically touch all the social and
economic interests Of the people,
In addition to the usual academic
studies, therefore, our courses
, should include manual training,
nature study and agriculture.
To secure more efficient super
vision, to encourage grading and
to broaden the social life of the
} children, we favor the cOnSOl.
idatiOn of weak schools into
strong central schools. 1t il
better in every way to carry the
child to the school than to carry
the school to the child. We
indOrSe the movements recently
made by the women Of the
South for model schools, built
with due regard to sanitation
ventilation and beauty.
Teaching should bea profession
and not Il stepping stone to some
thing else. We therefore Stant
for the highest training O

TRADE REPORT.

New York.-Bradstreet's report on
trade last week says:
Trade was quiet, while attention
was concentrated in crop and indus
trial developments. Generally low
prices for farm products point to the
former being largely favorable, though
market conditions of late have been
more active and favorable accounts Of
backward weather have not been eff
faced or repaired. AS for the fall and
winter outlook, however the best is
predicted. In industrial affairs the out
look is certainly satisfactory. The iron
and steel situation is still largely a
strong one, but isolated samples of
weakness are in sight
The railway situation is one OF the
best in years and the outlook as to ton
mage is a fattering one, marred only
by the prospect of car shortages later
on reducing or curtailing the indus
trial operations. Fiscal year earnings
returns are exceptionally good and it
is probable that taken as a whole the
railroad earnings for the half year will
exceed those of the same period OF
1901, despite reduced anthracite coal
car earnings. Cotton has weakened
cutie steadily on good growing croT
conditions, though rain and flood dam
age reports from Texas helped tc
steady prices on some days. Dry goods
trade reports are quiet. Spring styles
in woolens opened this week are
shown with advances on last season
Wool, though quiet, is steady and high
