Great Britain. the object being to
urge the signing of the arbitration
treaty between this country. Great
Britain and France. On the day

preached. The matter was brought
up at a meeting of the Ministerial

THE HEALTH OF THE CHILD

Superintendent George w. Twit- .
mver. of the Wilmington schools,
has arranged for professional study
by the city teachers, of 1.-The
Health Indexes Of the Child" "
The journal of Education gives
the following interesting facts con
cerning this work:
There are eleven cities in the
United States that have the floors
Of the school rooms washed daily,
and eighty per cent. have them
swept daily. This is wholly the
result of modern health campaigns.
It is not a great while ago that IN
many cities floors were only washed
i'm vacation and swept but once a
week. There are six cities that have
the floors washed every other day.
Altogether there are eighteen cit
les that wash the floors Oftener
than once a week or less than two
per cent. Seven per cent. OF the
cities wash the floors as often as
once a week. More than cighty-five
pcr cent. Of the cities do not wash
the floors as often as once month.
Nearly fifty per cent. do not wash
the floors Oftener than twice year.
4 third of the cities dO not wash
the floors oftener than once year.
Five per cent. never wash the floors.
There are thirty-one cities that
have the school house windows
washed weekly. One-tifth OF the
cities wash the windows monthly
or oftener. Half Of the cities wash
the windows as often as three times
A wear. In seven cities the windows
are never washed, and in one
fourth of the cities not oftener than
once a year.
1t would be extremely interest
ing to know the number Of women
n the various boards Of education,
and whether or not the presence OF
women on the boards has anything
to do with the variations IN the
standards OF cleanliness. The
teacher has great deal to do IN
caring for the health of the chill
dren under her control. but she
must take school room conditions
as she finds them and a statistics
show. these are not always hygiem-
cally the best. The cleanliness OF
the school room and its proper
heating and ventilation furnish the
physical conditions that are funda-
mental to the mental progress OF
the child. The efficient janitor is
one of the most important en-
ployees Of the board Of education,
for upon his work the health OF
the children largely depends.

GOSPEL OF GOOD FARMING

The State Colleges Of Agricul-
ture Of Maryland and Delaware,
and the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company started on Monday to
carry the ideas of up-to-date farm
ing to the people Of the Delaware
peninsula.

which has been provided by the
railroad company. State college
agriculturists are touring the en-
tire peninsula, stopping at forty.
two stations for the purpose OF
giving practical talks on farming
subjects of vital interest to every
section. Six days will be required
to make the tour, but provision
has been made to have talks given
at such points that no farmer on
the peninsula will have to 90 very
far from home to attend.
This educational work which is
being done among the farmers of
the Delaware Maryland Virginia
peninsula is in pursuance of the
policy Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road to upbuild the rural districts
of the territory traversed by it's
lines. During each winter since
1908 the company has been oper-
ating these trains with a view to
covering every division Of the sys-
TEN.
During the week. the lecturers
on the Delaware-M -Maryland-Vir-
ginia Peninsula Farmers train
will pay particular attention to
soil fertility, good seeds, apples
berries, cantaloupes, white and
sweet potatoes, poultry, tomatoes
lime and alfalfa. These subjects
have been selected by the State
College authorities as they all
blend together in the one principal
thing for which the peninsula is
nOted-truck farming.
DR.. r. S. Hill, director of Farm
ers' Institutes of Maryland, anG
Wesley Webb, secretary Of the
State Board Of Agriculture OF
Delaware. are in charge of the
train. The speakers are practi
cal farmers who have made a sue

Use of more than an average CROP"
This Is even more definite than an as

Journal of the Statistical Society,

marks. a normal crop under this def
milton has no definite statistical basis,
but must vary in the judgment of in
dividual correspondents" This makes
the basis of comparison from year to
year variable and Is one reason why
the census bureau after the harvest
is so apt to belle the predictions Of
the bureau of statistics.
The English publication referred to
above declares that to give these con-
dition figures any value whatever it
is necessary to have as a basis of
comparison the corresponding returns
in the same month of previous years
for a decade or So This would at
least give some definiteness to it and
one would know with what the COM
parison was made. The average for
ten consecutive years may fairly be
regarded as the normal crop of par
ticular product from the same area,
unless there has been in the period
decidedly exceptional season. The
condition figures are mainly significant
of the prospective quantity of the
yield and should have reference to
quantity per acre or for a uniform
area. The acreage differs from year
to year, but that is a factor to be
treated apart from crop condition in
calculating the prospective yield. The
actual average crop for a period of
ten years, with the variation from diff
ference of area eliminated, is mani
testify the proper normal for COM
parison, rather than something to be
assumed each year from the imagin-
ings Of a corps of correspondents.

MEAT PRICES.

Reports from New York and Chicago
the controlling markets in the price
Of meats-indicate that a plan has
been formed to collect in cold storage
the meat output to degree that prices
will advance to a phenomenally high
point.
While quietly putting vast quanti-
ties of meat in cold storage the beef
trust is crying "a dry summer" as
reason for the anticipated advance.
The food spectators have extended
their operations to the point where
scarcely any crop is out of their
clutches. 1t was shown recently be-
fore senate committee in Washing
ton that more than $4,000. 00O, 900 in
meats, game, dairy products, fruits and
vegetables was locked up annually in
cold storage in this country.
The cold storage business has made
such phenomenal growth that it now
represents the enormous and almost
fabulous capitalization Of 81, 500, 600, 600.
This gigantic combination-which is
becoming enormously rich off of the
very life of the nation-is violating
the law every day and every hour. 1t
is doing this right in the face of the
fact that trusts are being prosecuted
for violation of the trust law. 1t
Is doing 1t in defiance of the law and
without the fear of being punished by
the courts.
On Aug. /. 4s.5s2.OOO pounds Of but
ter was in storage in thirty-five
houses. If held for winter consumption
the consumer will pay well for it.
AT the beginning of the month there
were in cold storage In thirty five
houses 2,s7I. 900 cases of eggs, thirty
dozen in case-an excess of 4S7, 900
cases over last year.
1t liz estimated. taking the receipts,
shipments and siaughtering as basis,
that the packers have now on ice-in
Chicago. Omaha, Sioux city, Kansas
City. st. Louis and st. Joseph-2. $780,
900 hogs. fresh and in process of cur
ing-sOo.OOO beeves and 1900, 900 sheep.
What food viii cost us during the
Forthcoming winter nobody but the
packers can tell.
When the prices Of meats are gradu-
ally advancing millions of dol
lars worth in the cold storage-it is
obvious that the assertion OF the pack
ers that they put in storage only the
surplus Is a plain. unmitigated lie
told to shield themselves and to cheat
the public.

TUESDAY, AUG. 90, 1911.
MUST STOP LYNcHINes.

There Is something abhorrent to the
average mind about lynchings. 1t Is
q thousand times worse when the vic
tim is burned at the stake. There are
times when lynching may be less afro
cious-when one particular crime has
been committed against woman or
young girl. But even If mob sentiment
holds sway sufficiently to cause the
taking Of the life of the guilty wretch
there should be some limit--and hui
man bonfires should be abolished.
In Pennsylvania recently a negro
who had murdered a white man was
burned. There was absolutely no ex-
cuse for such an atrocity. The crime
committed by the negro was not of
nature that in the slightest degree
called for death at the stake.
A few days later Oklahoma respond
ed the parparous example Of Pennsyl-
vania. Few states in which negroes
live can claim immunity.
Lynchings are contrary to the teach
lngs of religion. They are contrary to
the laws Of the land. No community
that tolerates mob rule in this respect
can claim advancement--or point to
any benefits from education.
1t would seem that the time has
arrived when the spirit of the Ameri.
can nation should denounce the spirit
Of the beast of mob rule--which has
no comprehension of the law-no re-
gard for decency of the most elemental
kind.
