The daily morning journal and courier., 1903-08-14

Germany, while in Sweden it is forty minutes. At such intervals the school windows should be thrown open for ventilation and the children allowed to play or have drill Covered play grounds, instruction in physical exer- cises and the provision of nourishing meals for children underfed at home are other improvements to be adyocat- ed. Where mothers cook badly and are not above knowing 1t, children might even be allowed to buy food cheaply at school for the purpose of taking it home. There could be cookery classes for mothers, and in any case girls should be taught to cook well, and, as part of that, to understand the nature of foods and the general laws of hy- giene. Clubs for girls and drill halls for boys who had left school would con- tinue all this good work.
 Success to the movement for the im- provement of the English. They are fine people, and it would be discourag- ing to see them decay.

nErrKn DArs FoR INDIA.

India has been such a distressful country that it is especially cheering to hear that she is now doing well. Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State for India, in presenting the annual state ment of the Indian budget in the House of Commons, told an encouraging story of the progress and stability of India's finances. He pointed out that there had been substantial surpluses in the past three years, amounting this year to $15,- 25o, ,000. This financial situation will en- able the government to reduce the salt tax by 25 per cent and to make consid- erable remissions in the income tax. Lord Hamilton commented on the suc- cess of the currency policy introduced four years ago. The fiuctuation in the exchange value of the rupee during that period had been only one-half per cent, and the f1uctuation during the past year only one-quarter per cent. The Indian merchants had benefited enormously by the stability of the exchange.
 Good. And even better Is the statement made by Lord Hamilton that the fears regarding a scarcity of food in India this year might be dismissed. With good food and good money the Hindoos ought to improve rapidly. They have had hard time of it lately.

He is in Chicago, and he is so called by the Chicago Tribune. One of his duties is to look over the stands where fruit is sold, and if he finds fruit so immature or damaged that it is unfit to be eaten he condemns it. He has an |effectual way of condemning it. He carries with him a kerosene can. If, for example. he sees slices of water melon temptingly displayed in glass jar with pieces of ice bestowed around them, and upon inspection decides that the melon is 30 stale and decayed that it would be harmful to eat it, he lifts the lid and pours a little kerosene into the jar. Other decayed and dangerous fruits he treats in the same way. It appears that a practice obtains in Chi cago of beautifying apples with a viscous substance which yields neither to rubbing nor to washing. An apple so treated gives to the person who eats it sensation of having eaten some thing resembling the surface of fly paper"
 Chicago evidently needs such "a beautiful civic figure as is above spok- en of, and it is to be congratulated on having one.

When the girl arrived it developed that. she wasn't the young mans cousin, but the girl to whom he had been engaged in the old country, and so they were married and the five friends got left.

THE NEXT QUEsTION.

This country is not left long without a new question" A Japanese ques- ton is now in sight. The Japanese are coming to this land of promise and per fornance in large and constantly .in- creasing numbers. It is estimated that there are at least s7,OoO in California alone. In the year of 1902 there were 2,419 Japanese immigrants settled in Washington State, which is nearly halt of all the immigration that State re- ceived. California received 2,51s in the same year. a,125 went to Hawaii and in all ii, 455 came to the United States In the current year the influx of Japs has largely increased Many of the Japan csc are desirable citizens. Up to a comparatively recent date the better class of Japanese have come. Most ot them are young men and boys, and they quickly take on American ways and get into useful occupations. The ! ambition to learn the language and be- come Americanized is indicated by g casual glance at the small advertise. rnents in a Coast paper. Every paper contains scores Of them, in which Jap. anese boys are seeking to get places 1T private families to work for their board and to go to school. All stipulate fol the school privilege. Many of them be.
 come cooks and house servants, while | others get into the skilled trades ant
 some even into the professions. Int difficulty and objection comes from re,
 cent importations of a very differen type of Japanese. He is said to b,
 worse than the Chinese, He is of tht
 peasant class, and is low in intelligence and not a promising citizen. These art | brought over to work on railroad con struction and are said to be tricky, un
 reliable. lazy and quarrelsome.
 Congress will, it is said, be soon asked
 to decide whether the Japanese mus
 be excluded from the United States, a.
