The Surface Creek apple crop,
now almost gathered, is by all
odds the largest and best ever
produced in this valley. With
scarcely an exception the diff
ferent orchards are free from
worms and as a result the pick
runs very strong to frsts. The
demand too has been excellent
and prices have richly remuner-
ated the growers. A couple of
heavy trosts gave them a scare,
but no damage was done and it
is now certain that the entire
crop will be marketed without
loss. This will give US prosper
Gus fall and winter and another
year will see hundreds of acres
of new orchard planted.

HISTORY WAS NOT TAUGHT.
Recognition by Colleges Of Importance
of American Story.

A little more than thirty years ago
boy could enter Harvard college and
after four years graduate with the
highest honors without knowing of
the existence Of the declaration Of in
dependence or when the constitution
Of the United States was framed, says
Henry Cabot Lodge in the Reader
! Magazine. What was true of Har-
ward was true of other universities
| and colleges. American history was
not included in the scheme of the
higher education. Boys entering col
lege were required to know something
of the history Of Greece and Rome,
but not of their own country. During
the four years Of the college course
they had opportunity to study the his
tory Of England and Europe, but never
to learn aught of the United States
This condition of education was mere
ly an indication Of an attitude of mine
then passing away, but which had one
been predominant The usual opinion
/. seems to have been during the frs
D half of the nineteenth century tina
there was no American history wort
telling, apart from the adventures {
the revolution, which were both col
9 nected so closely with the history
/ Europe that they might be deemed
II importance.
