to make possible the development OF
the scholar, to furnish the thinkers
and to- fill the learned professions.
But the schools have too long been
shaped singly to this aim, and the
time has arrived when brains which
are to direst the doing of things, the
everyday work of the world, should
be trained, and be furnished with the
knowledge which makes the work
more fruitful. In this way, may the
schools meet the needs of the great
majority instead of the few. And IL
is in this way that education can be
made more practical, for in greater
standing and appreciation of the high
est culture, and in the highest thought
worked out into actual achiev, ment,
lies the hope of permanent prosperity
and the realization of our ultimate
destiny.
All this means better school build
ings and more extensive equipment;
il means a thorough reorganization
of our schools, and more expert teach
ers, with consequent better salaries;
it mea the spending, seemingly, of
very much larger sums of money for
the work OF education.
And how is this money to be pro-
vided? 1t is possible that an enlight-
ened public will consent to spend
more money for education than it does
for the national defense or for re-
formatories, penal institutions, and
the judicial system. 1t is possible
that they may be led to freely vote
a larger tax as a matter of business
investment, counting upon increased
returns. But this method has an ele-
ment of doubt, would probably re-
quire much time, and is not at all
certain of results.
Larger expenditures would better
conditions, but would not permanently
lHIplONe lHell, loI Juele are weak
nesses in our school system itself,
which must be removed before the
desired results can be obtained. The
weaknesses lie in its organization, and
involve such a large element Of waste
that it would be foolish to spend larg
er sums of money, without first re
moving the opportunity for waste.
1t is this waste, now going on in
our public school system, which should
demand NJ first attention. If the
vast amount needlessly squandered, by
an absurd Organization, oeuld BIZ
saved, 1t would go far toward supply
ing the money necessary to offer tC
our children a really practical educa
ton, and if of waste other
than financial, could be eliminated
what education we are now giving
would have more to the point and would
would have far more point and would
form a better and broader foundation
for the more practical education the
vast majority Of our children need.

ported tests of milk, cream and ice
cream that he had taken during the
month. The reports follow:
Charles Nowack's wagon No. had
formaldehyde in milk. Cream also had
formaldehyde (marked reaction of the
test). The United States government
and the state food commission are on
record as to the injurious qualities of
formaldehyde in dairy products. While
its effect on adults may not be SO dan
gerous, it certainly is very bad for In
fants and the young. 1t not only pre-
serves the milk, allowing it to remain
sweet longer than naturally, but II
binders digestion and sometimes
makes gastric digestion impossible or
causes poisoning symptoms and bowel
trouble, if in large quantities.
