progress in any body of teachers which
does not meet frequently for the dis
cussion OF school questions. Cities and
thickly settled communities could de-
wise a satisfactory substitute, but !
see no other alternative for the great
majority Of the country teachers Of this
State. The institute is in a large meas

well managed and are a decided ad-
vantage to our schools. They elevate
and inspire the teacher; they bring es-
sentials to the front; they demolish
fads and keep the teacher out of edu-
cational ruts. If attended, summer
schools would accomplish the same re-
suits, but few would attend them with
out pay. Again, after months of weari-
some labor the teacher is entitled to a
real vacation and recuperative rest.

c. L. McLane, Superintendent of
Fresno schools, believes that though
there are some advantages derived
from course of lectures which are
sometimes given, the Institutes are. as
far as the city schools are concerned,
mere waste Of time and money. This
because the city teacher is accustomed
to frequent conferences and grade

1t is the belief of j. w. McCIymonds.
the Oakland superintendent, that the
Institutes have been of the highest
value to California schools. Consider
ing the changes brought about by pro-
fessional training of teachers, Mr.. Nc
Clymonds thinks that Institutes must
also change to accord with the needs of
the teaching profession. The greatest
latitude should be permitted the County
Superintendent in determining the ma
ture Of his own institute.
Miss Kate Ames. Superintendent of
Napa County, is strongly impressed
with the power for good which can be
exercised through well-conducted insti-
tutes. In fact, she believes that their
value is limited only by the ability of
the Superintendent to adapt the exer-
cises to existing conditions For social
influences and for spiritual upliftings-
opportunity for close supervision-the
institute presents opportunities that are
unsurpassed. Miss Ames adds that "at
present the readjustment of teachers
and teaching to the new courses of
study made necessary by the adoption
of the new textbooks gives an occasion
for Institutes of great practical value.
The specific details and needs of the
county can be determined only by the

wide-awake, questioning Superintend-
ent. The educational conditions must
be thought upon, they must be lived
with day by day, they must be checked
up by reading, they must be compared
with better and worse conditions. When
the point to be improved has been de-
termined upon it should become the
pivot around which all the work Of the
institute centers."
BY the Amador County Superintend-
ent, George A. Gordon, the view is en-
tertained that the institute is an oc-
casion when discussion of methods of
teaching should have special attention.
To be most effective, illustration
should be had by a skilled teacher
with class of children. AS a draw
back to the success of institutes hAd
in mountain counties, Mr.. Gordon re-
fers to the difficulty experienced in Sc
curing the best lecturers at points
which are remote from the lines of
railway travel. He thinks that, ulti-
mately, the institute will be supplant-
ed by a summer course of training at
a normal school.
The superintendent of the Eureka
schools, A. c. Barker, holds the opin-
ion that the results of the institutes
are not justified by the expense. This

scattered through the city, where all
sorts of cereal and vegetable foods may
be found served up raw or in some ap-
petizing form.
The pastor of the church is also pres
ident of the Vegetarian Society, a vet
eran of the craft. the Rev. Henry S.
Club, who has eschewed all forms of
animal diet for nearly four score years
and believes that he is good for a full
century. Flesh eating animals are
shorter lived than those that live on
plant life" is the reverend's creed.
THE elephant is the strongest and
longest lived, the rhinoceros the heav-
lest, the deer the swiftest and the
horse the most intelligent, all non-fiesh
eating creatures. Why then may not

degree of strength. live longer. expend
greater mental and physical energy and
achieve higher degree of Intellectual
ity?" The argument certainly seems
reasonable.
Some few years ago an American
traveller in South America was amazed
to discover the wanton waste of mil
lions of tons of bananas every year
enough nourishment to feed the entire
human family if properly used. He
made scientific tests, found that ba-
mana -four was more than a hundred
times as nutritious as the same weight
Of wheat flour and sixty times as pro-
life to the acre.
He went to work to build drying kilns
of the most approved plan, with the
end in view to take up a large percent
age of the banana crop that otherwise
went to waste. He also entered into
the scientific cookery side. and not long
since gave a banana dinner in New

of California. Granting the necessity
of maintaining institutes in earlier
days, Mr.. Barker contends that with
recent developments in educational IA
cilities more practical means now exist
which enable teachers to keep abreast
with professional thought and practice
He favors the summer school as a
substitute, even though the attend
ance be voluntary.
To Duncan Stirling, superintendent
Of Monterey County, the benefits Of the
institute as a social and inspirational
force far outweigh its disadvantages.
AS a possible substitute he suggests
that teachers be employed with provi-
sion for gradual increase of salary for
five years, conditioned upon four or
six weeks attendance each year at a
summer normal school. Further pro-
vision should also be made to relieve
the County Superintendent of all cleri-
cal labor to enable him to properly SUI
perintend the schools.
From the standpoint of an expert
enced educator, Frederic Burk, pres
ident of the San Francisco Normal,
states his conclusions. He believes
that the cost of institutes is fully
justified by the enthusiasm and spirit
resulting from bringing the teachers
together for a week and inspiring
them, through common fellowship,
with the ideals of their profession"
Institutes, however, are not, in Mr..

York TO members of the Vegetarian So
ciety where more than twenty varieties
of dishes, including soup, bread. pastry,
fruit, jellies, coffee and candies, were
served, all made from bananas. The in
ventor claimed that armies and navies,
as well as explorers, could carry food
in banana form twelve times longer
than any other kind of food of the
same bulk, and that bananas if rightly
awaited Of would avert famine and star
walton from the face of the broad earth.
Numerous articles have been written
on the open secret of living on 5 to so
cents a day, and many of these EXPOSE
tons have strong foundation in fact.
Indeed there are thousands of persons
who have reduced their diet to the min
imum, not on account Of deficient
strength or a condition of i'll health,
nor yet poverty. who are nevertheless
convinced that wheat, oats, beans, len
tils and all kinds Of fruit and nuts are
far more nutritious than a meat diet
The peasantry of Europe are ~particu-
larly strong for the reason that they
not only never overeat, but the greater
share of their diet consists of fruits and
vegetables-the Irish, for instance. sur
viving largely on oatmeal and potatoes,
the Chinese on rice and the creatures
of the tropics on fruits and nuts. Con-
trast this with the ordinary table d'hote
diner, who not only mixes twelve TO
fifteen different kinds of food at a meal,
but washes it down" with cheap wine
and ice water.
The following will serve to contrast a
meat diet with one of cereals, fruit and
vegetables. 1t is taken from the Gov

wiser use of this money would be
to invest it in six weeks attendance at
summer school, even once in two
years.
The convictions of o. w Erlewine.
superintendent of the Sacramento
schools, are after twenty-five years of
observation that the Institutes are
very valuable to those engaged in
school work. They afford that sort of
necessary instruction and inspiration
to large majority of the teachers of
this State that would be difficult to OBJ
tain in any other way" Mr.. Erlewine
believes that summer schools are doing
noble work, but that their SCOPE is too
limited to take the place of institutes.
In the view Of D. II. White. Superin-
tendent of Solano County, 1.-THE value of
the institute depends entirely upon the
individual teacher. If she regards the
institute as q means of helpfulness in
her every day problems and is deter

The superintendent OF Public IN
struction, Thomas ]. Kirk, has a wide

tendance at all institutes which he can
reach. superintendent Kirk responds
to the questions presented by The
Call by saying that until a better pro-
vision can be made, the teachers in
stitute is an indispensable educational
factor. He states that Just criticisms
are offered of those institutes which
ere given over to excessive entertain

stimulus and upIift in the teachers

Gently that "vegetarianism is the next
food fad of the century," The professor
continued: Man is an OmniVorous ami
NAL, but meat is by no means essential
to health and strength. Twenty-Five
per cent of the meat sold in the open
market possesses little or no nutritive
elements" The leading argument in
favor of meat eating is based upon the
taste. which is largely extracted in the
oils. so that if we spread shavings with
sufficient gravy a dog will eat the dish.
while if we spread the same upon meat
from which all nutriment has been ex-
tracted leaving only the fibre, no more
health giving than sawdust, it will still
have a certain palatable taste to hu-
man beings. The cheapest cereals
corn, wheat, oats, rye, rice etc.-pos-
sess the highest degree of nutrition, to-

sary for hard labor" says Professor
Wiley, land it is remarked that in

meat eaters work furiously only dur
ing the period of the quick digestion
of the meat diet, whereas the cereal
dietarians possess far greater powers
of endurance"
1t is probably in the Quaker town of
Philadelphia that vegetarianism finds
its largest number of votaries, who are
not only votaries at the shrine Of
Ceres, but also proselytizers of the
most earnest order. Indeed, there are
established there Libraries on vegeta-
rian lore, periodicals on the cult,

However, such is the history of every
crusade, and 1 have lived to see this
phase of the anti-meat movement sue
coed beyond my sanguIne hopes, and
the enterprises are multiplying in every
large city of the Union.
While economy recommends itself
to the hard working, cheapness is by
no means the main issue. Aplhonaires
are frequenters of these vegetarian res
taurants as well as their under clerks.
In a cereal and fruit meal costing a
few cents it is possible to receive as
much nutriment and sustaining energy
as from a meal of meat costing ten
times as much, with the added ad-
vantage that the man does not ex-
pend so much energy in his digestive
process and is consequently able to
perform better work with a clearer
head than he otherwise could do.
I have made a careful study of the
best diet for athletes in training as
well as for men in the intellectual
walks of lifey and I believe firmly that

this be all that Christianity is and if

that 1t has any valid claim upon the
attention of either capital or labor.
Conduct is three-fourths of life"
said the late Matthew Arnold, and
three-fourths of conduct has to do with
the industrial relations of life. If con-
duct in the industrial realm is not un-

He who cannot speak the word of
