DORMITORY FOR
NORMAL SCHOOL
BOARD OF REGENTS ASKS FOR AP.
PREPARATION FOR SUPERIOR
INSTITUTION.
MAY EXTEND THE SYSTEM.
Governing Board May Also Establish a
Training Course for Rural
Teachers.
ASK INCREASED APPROPRIATION.

MADISON, Wis, Dec. 1.-[Special.l-
For the first time in the history of Wis
consin, the state Legislature will be
asked to inaugurate a system of dormi-
tories at one of the normal schools of
the state. If the plan is favorably con-
sidered by the Legislature the system
later may be extended to one or two
others of the seven institutions in the
state
Superior Needs Dormitories.
At it's meeting last night the state
board of normal regents voted to ask
the Legislature for $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of a dormitory in connection
with the normal school at Superior. This
action was taken as a result OF an IN
vestigation carried on by the board OF
the systems i'll other states. 1t was
found that in Pennsylvania dormltorles
are conducted in connection with twelve
normal schools, each institution caring
for 300 to 500 students, and the plan has
been successful. The action of the board
does not commit the regents to extend
the system to all the normal schools OF
the state, but probably it will ultimately
be used in the larger cities, where the
students have difficulty in finding room
ing and boarding places. The reason of
the immediate establishment at Superior
is because the buildings are so far out
side the limits of the city.
Course for Rural Teachers.
The board also considered the neces-
sity of establishing a course for the
training of rural school teachers in con-
nectien with the normal schools OF the
state. There are $500 rural schools in
Wisconsin, and investigation by the
board shows that but few of these are
presided over by trained teachers. Most
of the normal school teachers are en-
ployed in the graded and high schools.
In Michigan the rural school course has
been adopted in connection with the nor
NAL course and operated with such sue
cess that the Wisconsin board not only
took cognizance Of it yesterday, but
probably will order it installed in the
seven schools at the February meeting.
Increased Appropriation.
The Legislature viii be asked to make
an increased appropriation for current
expenses Of 100000, which will in
crease the present amount appropriated
from S230,C00 to $35O,O00 The need
Of the. increase is caused by repairs
necessary at the various schools and in
creases in salaries for instructors. The
Legislature also will be asked to make
appropriations to the various schools as

fruit is q pre-digested food of the fines
sort. We do not obtain really we'll rip
ened fruit here, and even as it is tho
majority of Americans have not yer
learned that the banana skin should be
nearly black before the fruit is fit for
eating.
The Lnripe banana, hurriedly eaten,
is fruitful source of indigestion. In
broken masses it is very slow CT diges-
ton. Those who complain of indiges-
two points-ripeness and mastication. In
conclusion, Dr. Kellogg says that per-
fectly smooth banana pulp combined
with sterilized cream is an admirable
food for a child.

OLD COINS AND MEDALS.
Two Remarkable Works on the Subject
Just Issued in Italy-Compiled
by King of Italy.

ROME, Dec. 1.-The volume dealing
with Italian coins, in the compilation of
which the King of Italy has been occu-
pied for ten years, has just been pub
lished. The book contains prototypes of
1900 coins.
The King has sent copies of his work
to the King of England, the German
Emperor, the King of Sweden, Mr..
Roosevelt, NJ. Fallieres, M. Loubet and
to the Car and other sovereigns.
A remarkable coincidence is noted that
the Pope has contemporaneously pub
ished an analogous work, dealing with
medals and coins to be found in the Vati-
can.

we're not strung. but carefully matched
in size. The object Of the importers was
quite plain. There is a duty of 60 per p,
cent. ad valora:r on necklaces, while the
duty on unstrung pearls is merely 10 per
cent The government had evidence thn'
the pearls were originally assembled ~
the form of a necklace, but that Tor the
purpose of evading the higher duty the
nearls were unstrung and sent III bose
form. Theoretically the Guggenhelml
necklace was not necklace. but for az
practical purposes it was. The question
is whether it should be considered
necklace under the law OF not.

AVERAGE DAILY WAGES.

From this latter table, the increase IN
1907 as compared with 1904 is 81 per
cent for both sexes together.
"A general increase in wages is appar;
ent," says the report. ''Thus, in 1904,
so per cent. of the wage earners re-
ceived from $3.50 to $1.66 per day or
more; in 1905, 50 per cent. received that
much or more per day; in 1906, 50 per
cent. received that much or more per
day; and in 1907, 20 per cent. were paid
that much or more per day.
Gives Further Statistics.
'In three of the four years under con-
sideration, the maximum number of per-
sons were employed in August, but in
1905 the maximum appeared in Novem-
Der. In all of the years the number en-
ployed falls off from to 10 per cent. in
January. The greatest amount Of unem-
ployed is thus shown for 1907, especially
i'll the months of November and Deem
Der; but noticeable also as compared
with 1906, for every month except jan
uary."
The department has also issued for
general distribution a pamphlet on In
dustrial Hygiene and Police Power" the
first being a discussion by Henry Baird
Favill and the latter the opinion of
Justice r. D. Marshall of the state SUI
preme court in declaring the tenement
house law unconstitutional.

BANANA VALUABLE FOOD.
Few Americans Know How to Eat It,
Though, Doctor Says.

The banana is an exceedingly valuable
and useful food. according to DR.. 7. Fl.
kellogg, who adds that it is only neces-
sary that it should DE thoroughly masti-
Gated before being swallowed. Many
people complain that this fruit is indi
gestible. but this. the doctor says, is the
result of insufficient mastication.
In countries where the banana grows
no one thinks of eating a banana until
it is as mellow as a peach Then the
work of ripening is complete and the

Whereas. it has been determined by
the United States department of agri-
culture that a contagious communicable
disease known as foot and mouth dis
ease exists among the livestock in the

prevailing in such states, and,
Whereas, the veterinarian has inves-
tgated the conditions existing in such
states with reference to said disease and
recommended that the importation into

nor of the state of Wisconsin, under the
provisions of Section 1920. Wisconsin

In witness thereof. I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of

School Officers Convention,

A school of6ceIs' convention,
including all of BENTON county,
is scheduled to occu. in Corvallis
the first Saturday in February.
This is the first convention to be
held under the new law, and the
second to be held in the county,
the first having occurred about
three years ago.
The new law provides for the
payment of 81 per day for the
attendance of chairmen of boards
of directors, or the chairman's
proxy or substitute. Among
those on the program for the
February meeting are Supt. Ack-
e1mau, DR.. w. J.Kerr, and di-
rectors from all parts of the
county.
This is a new educational
movement in Oregon, the object
OF the convention being to create
greater interest and greater
harmony in business methods,
a more intimate knowledge and
greater familiarity with the laws
and to stimulate an interest
among school officers in school
WORK. While the provision is
made for the chairmen to re-
ceive compensation for attend
ance, all directors and school
officers should esteem it a duty
and privilege to attend this
meeting and by their interest
and activity aid in the move
ment for greater and better
things. Programs will be dis
tributed later, giving more conn
plete information.

gon was the state receiving such
an enormous amount OF advertis.
ing as at the present time. The
writers who are contesting for the
30 prizes ($5ooo) offered by the
Portland Commercial Club, have
seemingly been busy in every
state in the Union. Some of the
contestants have written a series
of articles covering several edi-
tions of the same newspaper,
thoroughly discussing the at
fractions and resources of the
state. Governor Chamberlain
will be requested to name his
three judges and they will begin
their work February I.
Op the last day of the old year
the Portland Commercial Club
wired its greetings, on behalf OF
the city and state, to President
Roosevelt, and within a few
hours received a most cordial re-
ply in which the Chief Execu-
tive wished the people of Oregon
a happy and prosperous New
Year. ~ *
