BAKED Apple Sauce.

Baked apple sauce is a very differ
ent dish from the ordinary stewed
fruit. The Boston Cooking School
Magazine gives n good recipe for the
formec. Pare and core the apples, cut
in quarters, and put them in a deep
crock with a cupful of sugar and half
a cupful of water to two quarts Of
fruit. This Is less sugar than stewed
apple sauce requires, but the long cook
ing develops the natural sweetness Of
the fruit. Cover tho crock closely and
cook for an hour and a half, or until
the apples are a deep red color. If
they cook too fast, they will be mushy,
but cooked slowly each piece will be
left while in a delicious cidery syrup.
Let the apples cool in the crock. Serve
them with cream and hot biscuit or
cake for desert. For the filling of pies
this sauce Is considered very fine,

as told in the News yesterday, was taken
to st. Michael's hospital, was suffering

INTERVIEWED
FAvORS BETTER SCHOOLS
REGARDING SCHOOL APPRoPRI-
ALTON BILL.
To Be Especially Emphasized and Ag-
itation Along This Line Continued
Important Resolutions BY Board of
Health.

State Superintedent of Education
Whitfield when asked for an express
sion in regard to the large appropri-
alton for public schools made by the
legislature, and also for an estimate
of the total school funds that would
be available for the biennial period,
said: "The house bill passed by the
Senate appropriating 81, ,250,0O0 from
the state treasury for the public
schools, is an increase over the appro-
priation of two years ago of the poll
tax of the state. This latter sum last
year was 100000, but because of the
paying of the poll tax for the next
two years will not affect the right
of suffrage in this state, the conse-
quence will be that the poll tax for the
period in question will show a falling
off. A conservative estimate of what
will be received from this source an
nually for the next two years is $780,
900, or $550,000 for the entire period.
The superintendent IS report, just is
sued, shows that the sum of 81 $4,000
was expended on the common schools
last year. The boards of supervisors
in twelve counties have for the
first time voted for the ex-
tension of the school term. About
twenty counties that have heretofore
been levying taxes for this purpose
have increased their levy, and a num-
ber of towns have established sepa-
rate school districts, which will in
crease the amounts previously collect
ed from such local sources for the
schools during the present year will ap-
proximate $2,25O,OOO. This will in
sure an average school term for the
state of about six months. The agi-
itation for better schools will be con-
tinued. The necessity for better school
houses will be especially emphasized,
and better trained teachers. The
teachers of the state will be organized
into professional reading circles,
courses of study will be outlined by
the Department of Education of the
University.
