PUT END TO
SHORT ICE
WEIGHT

Oklahoma City. June 23-To put on
end to short weights on ice, and in
c.dentally on food products generally
is the purpose OF a new ruling just
promulgated by the state pure food
commission, regulating the sale OF
bulk foods sold BY weight or measure
which requires the delivery of the
agreed amount or weight Of the pro
duct for which payment is made. Ice
is especially included in the new or
der, which tie commission announces
will be enforced to the letter
1t is specifically stated that the or
der effective July applies to ice. The
order provides general regulations for
the sale of all bulk foods sold by
weight or measure and requires the
delivery of the agreed amount or
weight of the product for which pay
ment is made. 1t is announced that
the commission will enforce this rule
to the letter.
The rules recognizes ice as a food
product and the commission will con
strue 1t in connection with that pro
duct as meaning that if a certain
amount of ice is ordered and payment
made for the full amount ordered, the
ice manufacturer must positively de-
liver the amount of ice ordered and
paid for. Variations of weight will be
recognized by the department, provid-
ed that the variation is as often above
the amount contracted for as 1t is be-
low that amount.
The position taken by the commits
sion is that IN the summer months ice
is necessity and not luxury, and
that the regulation Of its sale comes
properly within the Jurisdiction Of
that department. The usual practice
of the ice men, it is claimed, has been
to weigh the ice when they started on
their rounds, if at all, and require the
customer to stand all of the shrink
age which occurs during drive OF
several miles in the hot sun. This
will not be allowable however, under
the new ruling, which requires that If
a customer pays for twenty-five
pounds Of ice he shall have twenty
five pounds Of ice delivered to him,
and not the remains Of what may have
been twenty-five pounds some two or
three hours before.

Wants $4,000 for
Being Locked in
an Ice House

Washington, June 23. How much
would you give-during this hundred
in-the-shade weather-to be incarcer-
ated in cold storage room for lit
tie while? Doesn't it strike you that
It would make life more worth the liv-
ing and add spice to the enjoyment of
things in general?
Nevertheless, a Washingtonian by
the name of Samuel L. Boxwell--a
very appropriate cognomen, by the
way-has entered suit against a lo-
cal market company for injuries"
which he alleges he received while
locked in the cold storage plant of the
company on June /.

the result. He claims that his health'

MODERN EDUCATION IN CHINA.
Intellectual Progress Noted by m
American Consul.

InteIIectuaI Progress Noted by an
American Consul.
China is successfully working out of its
great problem OF modern education, says
Consul General George e. Anderson of
Hongkong. Six years ago In schools IN
the metropolitan province OF Chill there
were only about 5000 students, while now
there are nearly 10000 in modern schools.
The schools conducted under the super
vision Of the Chihli provincial Board of
Education now include university at
Tientsin. a provincial college at Paotingfu,
seventeen industrial schools, three high
normal schools, forty-nine elementary
schools, five agricultural schools, thirty
middle schools. ia upper primary schools,
l0l mixed grade primary schools, S,5S4 lower
primary schools. 131 girls schools, TIA half
day and night schools, three foreign Ian
guage schools two medical schools and
eight commercial schools.
IN the other large centers good, steady
work Is being done in the government col
leges and schools and in the country, in
towns and villages the number OF schools
is gradually increasing as an already well
organized part OF the machinery Of public
affairs In the more remote provinces the
situation is not so promising. The commits
report gives an outline OF the school situa-
ton in Szechuan province. He reports
that primary schools. teaching Chinese and
a little arithmetic and geography. exist IN
considerable numbers scattered throughout
the province. In Chengtu and the more ad-
vaneed prefectural cities English, ele-
mentary mathematics and drill are gener-
ally added to the curriculum, but these
schools lack good teachers and equipment.
land in all. the smaller cities and market
towns are little in advance Of the old type
OF Chinese schools" In the larger pre-
fectural cities the middle schools are well
organized. The subjects taught are Chi
nese, English. elementary mathematics and
science. history, geography. ethics and
physical exercises.
Chungking the Szechuan capital has a
railway school OF political economy, school

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.
Proposed Establishment of a Model
High school.

Proposed EHta bitshment OF a Mooei
High school.
The establishment of practice and
demonstration high school in connection
with the course for the training of teach
ers at the University of Wisconsin in be-
ing urged by the regents, who are asking
the legislature for an appropriation of
$4,000 for building for this purpose.
over one-half of the graduates of the
college Of letters and science at the uni
versity take up teaching as a profession,
most of them taking up high school teach
ing. In a hearing before the Legislature
this week, Prof E. C. Elliott, director Of
the course for the training of teachers
showed that approximately 800 new high
school teachers are required in the Wis
consin high school each year. The chief
weakness of the present course for the
training of teachers, he pointed out was
the absence OF opportunity for students
to observe teaching under favorable con-
dtions and to be given actual practice
teaching.
That the cost to the state Of Wisconsin
for the instruction OF each student at the
university is approximately 500 year was
demonstrated by President Charles r. Van
Hise, before the finance committee of the
Legislature He showed that from one
third to one-fourth OF the running ex-
penses OF the institution provided by state
appropriation are devoted to investiL alton
and research in agriculture, engineering,
public health and scientific work generally,
which cannot be fairly charged up to in
struction Of students. Deducting one-thlrd of
the total income from the state as the ex-
pense OF this research. he estimated the
cost per student at 1910. Allowing one
fourth for investigation. the total cost is
sl02.6o.
