This project IS especially timely lust
now. when there is apparently a revival
OF hostility 70 America and American in

Getting IL Fresh.

From the Western Christian Advocate
"A amusing feature about Italians Is
the way they deliver milk in the cities OF
Italy. especially in Naples and the cities
IN the south. First Of all. much OF the
milk used is goat milk. and the dairyman
has six or twelve, more or less. and these
are herded during the day. but in the
morning and at night the cowboy. OF man
as he IS in this case. drives his goats
through the streets and stops where he

INSPECTED CONTRACT.
Randolph Normal School Trustees Hint
Breach of Faith.

The executive boz I'd of the Randolph
Normal school have issued a book Civ.
ing their ideas in support Of the claim
that the normal school at that place
should not be discontinued, and com
pared its work with other institutions.
In closing the committee says:
"In 1900 the state made an implied
contract with the schools that they
SHOULD exist till 1920. Each school has
labored for eight years, paying in their
money as required and performing all
the duties required of them till now it
is announced and the state is advised
publicly to abrogate it's implied con
tract. It is the first public advice Of
the kind the state has ever had, and
we believe it was an oversight of the
commission and that they would not
so advise If they had given it due con.
sideratiOn and we believe that the leg
stature win see that no such act shall
mar the pages of our legislation. If
the schools are not what they should be
for lack of money, why not put in
more money and make them so. 1t will
require less money to accept the $50.
900 to $4,000 worth of property at
Randolph and make an ideal school
than to organize and build new build
ing in an entirely new place and then
work out the experiment"
