Promoting Domestic Science.

The Chicago Tribune is of the opinion
that of all the great gifts to educational
institutions none of them has been more
wisely considered from the practical
point of view than the anonymous one
OF 100000 for the equipment and en-
dowment of domestic economy build
ing to the Teachers college, the profess
sional school of Columbia university for
the advanced training of teachers. This
been contributed for purposes allied to
this department, puts Columbia uniyer
.slty in advance of other educational int
stitutions, 50 far as the new study of
domestic science is concerned.
Not many years ago, i'll the days
when literature, the classics, and the
science were considered the only proper
studies, housekeeping as study i'll the
university curriculum would have been
laughed out of court, but there can
be no question now that it has come
to stay, and will gain i'll Importance and
dignity. The new idea of domestic
economy is not merely the selection and
cooking of food. Science has invaded
the kitchen and the whole house, indeed
and even Psychology is making tenta-
tive visits to see what it can do in the
new field. The scheme of the new
domestic science school will cover not
alone cooking but household chemistry in
vestigation of dietaries, sanitary science
physiology and bachteriology, domestic
administration, hospital and institu
tlonal supervision, laundering, sewing
drcssmaking, millinery, household arr
and design, heating plants-in brief
the scientific organization of the home
and its adaptation to modern condi
tions.
All of this is of the first Importance
because the domestic trend is now to
wards housekeeping scientifically con
Quoted, and home scientifically organ
lied and managed largely under the aus
pieces of janitors or professional house
Keepers. 1t may even happen that il
the not distant future the house or tn,
apartment mary be cared for by com
pany which will give bonds to keep it il
perfect running order, with a minimum
of effort OH the part of its inmates, ant
supply trained employees who shall b'
responsible to it, thus incidentally dis
posing of the present servant girl prob
lem. But whether the home reaches
this evolutionary stage or not, there cal
be no question that the keeping of TIN
house grows more and more scientific
all the time and that the old fashioned
mistress of the house is fast disappear

From Tuesdays Daily.
Probably the largest single transfer
of city property consummated i'll Man
kato took place today when the Ma
tionaI Citizens bank took over the ID.
S. Stern block at the corner of Front
and Hickory streets. This property has
a frontage of sixty six feet OH Front
street and runs back 1917. feet on
Hickory. 1t is without question one of
the best business locations in the city
and the stockholders of the National
Citizens bank are to be congratulated
upon acquiring such Il desirable property
at the figure, paid which is understood
to be little less than $4,000.
The entire first floor now occupied by
Nixon & Sickle will be converted into
one of the finest banking rooms west
of Chicago. This improvement will be
made and the room occupied by the new
owners Just as soon as the lease of the
present occupants is terminated.
The directors of the National Citizens
bank have long felt the need of more
commodious quarters, and the rapidly
increasing business certainly warrants
the change which is to be made. There is
not "a stronger financial institution in
the northwest than the National Citi-
zens' bank and it is recognized as such
not only by local people but by all the
surrounding country as well. Its dlrec-
torate is composed of some of the very
best. conservative, most successful bust
ness men. There is probably not another
hank in the state with board that
takes the interest in and devOtes the
time to the management of its affairs
that is given by the directors OF this i'll
stitutiOn.
With the new location, with larger
and more modern facilities and with the
splendid men at the head of this bank,
The Free Press looks to see its splendid
past success only surpassed by its fu-
ture prosperity.
The bank has been in its present To-
cation nearly forty years. 1t has offers
to lease the building as soon as it va
Gates it.

Labor Conditions in Europe

The statistics for European labor
movements show that during the month
of December, 1906, in the three CHIEF
manufacturing countries of Europe
France, Germany and the United King
dom-cighty strikes began. This con-
dition of affairs shows, Il distinct I'M
provement on the number on strikes
begun in the preceding month of Norcm
Der, viz, lO4, and those of December
1905, viz, eighty-seven.
The number of participants in strikes
amounted in December, 1906, i'll France
and the United Kingdom to S,olG, com
pared with 24,57S in November, 1906
and with 1902 in December, 1905. In
France the diminution of strikes was
more marked than elsewhere.
In December, 1905. the number oil
strikes was 1871; in December, 1906
almost exactly third of that figure
Most of these were in textile branches
British miners and textile operatives
formed the bulk of the strikers.
Not single strike was organized il
protest against a reduction in wages
while twenty five strikes were based
on demand for increased pay. The
outcome of the strikes was less salts
factory than usual to the workers. In
nine cases they were fully successful;
in twelve cases work was resumed with
out alteration in existing conditions

Delay in City Business.

Rochester milkmcn and the city
health officer are working hand in hand
with a view to the adoption of an ordi-
nance which will cause the inspection OF
dairy cattle and the conditions sur
rounding the milk supply. 1t is pro-
posed to adopt the ordinance at once.
In Mankato the city council hesitates
to act and is putting off the adoption of
the milk and cattle inspection ordinance
under the protest that it is awaiting
the passage of a bill now before the
legislature, which is supposed to provide
for inspection, but which in reality is Il
missioner.
The bill in question was read at the
council meeting Oh Friday evening. The
defects i'll the measure and they ripped
it up the back" as the saying is. But Il
democratic administration has decreed
that the ordinance must not be acted
on until after election, and there you
are.
There is no good reason for this de-
ray. Sfnat city measure can be adopted
now and put in operation without fear
of running counter of the proposed law
on the subject, The Rochester officials
do not hesitate to act, and there is no
obstacle in the way of acting on the
ordinance drafted by the Mankato city
attorney, unless it be that the election
stands in the way.
