Though the dairymen of Baltimore city have
taken no combined action, it is said that the
price of milk will be raised on October LIST
cent quart. While some of the dairymen
have denied any knowledge of the plice being
advanced, they declare it is imperative. owing
to the small profits being made by the farmer
and the dealer.
Mr.. Charles K Harrison, president of the
Pikesville Dairy Company, says that it will be
impossible for the purveyors Of high-grade
milk to hold out much longer at the present
low rate. There is very little profit, he de-
clares, and in order to keep the supply OF first
class milk on the market he predicts rise in
the price. Mr. Harrison denied that there Is
any concerted action on the part of the milk
men, and said that any action would be by the
dairvmen individually.

Do Away With the Foolish Thing Pa
rent" writes as follows to the Baltimore Amer
icdn "The proposition advanced by men,
Der of the School Board of this city, that the
present method-the so-called vertical system
of handwriting be done away with, is a sensi-
BILE and practical suggestion-and should not
be permitted to drop. The present system of
vertical penmanship is fad and has never
been anything but fad. There is not point
which can be advanced in favor Of the system,
except that it is legible. 1t is not rapid sys-
tenn and destroys all individuality of the
writer. The system has been abolished in the
schools of New York as fad which has worn
itself out. Business men, as arule, are against
the vertical system. The suggestion is made
that the freearm style replace the present sys-
tenn. This is good suggestion. In the free
arm method the writer writes from the elbow
and not just from the fingers as in the vertical
system. With the latter method the fingers
soon become cramped, while in the free-arm
style, the writer can write for great length
of time and not tire. Let us have the sensible
system, the free arm method, taught in the
public schools is the wish of parent who is
one of many with the same thought"
