piled Of the models, compositions and
other tangible results Of the course. there
is perhaps no more interesting specimen
than a model of District bakery made
Of pasteboard. This Is the work Of the
children OF the fourth grade of the Polk

The model Bakery is complete in every
detail. On the top Is q large water tank.
Then going down through the several
floors one sees the -four bags, sleeves.
dough mixers and ovens. A few small
loaves of bread and other pastry, also
the results of juvenile skill. are on view
on a small table on the gnound floor OF
the cardboard ediflce.
Close at hand are paper and cardboard
wagons and motor trucks, by which the
bread is to be distributed. while at no
great distance are trains which haul the
-four to the city and carry loaves of
bread away to the nearby country towns.
Many other interesting objects are in
the exhibit which has not yet been per-
manently placed. It is now at the Thorn

NEW GEOGRAPHY COURSE
BRINGS GOOD RESULTS
Lessons Embrace Study of
Home InduStrieS-Exhibit
of Work Planned.

The first results Of the new course In
geography in the graded public schools
Of the District Of Columbia, az recently
outlined in The Star. are now in the pos
session Of Miss e. ". Brown. director OF
primary instruction. Miss Brown has
expressed herself as being pleased with
the results obtained under the new
course of instruction.
The new geography lessons embrace
home industries. which the children car
see and understand for themselves In
stead of having to limit themselves to
mere reading. For instance. instead of
limiting the child's knowledge to the
fact that Massachusetts ID one of the
greatest manufacturing states the child
learns that his own city IL not wholly
devoid Of factories and constitutes nc
mean industrial center. He is taken by
the teacher to bakeries, dairies and other
industrial places, where he is able ia
learn first hand q great deal that geog-
raphies purpose to teach.
Following their visits to these places o.
interest the pupils have their lessons re.
garding what they have seen. This In
cludes the writing Of compositions about
them. making maps Of the interiors OF
the buildings as well as maps showing
what part of the city the buildings are
located in, and finally they make small
models OF the places visited

q committee Of seven, one appointed by
each Of tho six principal banking houses
interested. and the other by the govern
ment Of Brazil. The coffee is to be sold
at the discretion Of this committee. It
Is somewhat curious coincidence that
according to the best available reports
the committee has sold three million bags
OF this valorized coffee and that the
shortage Of the present years crop-that
Is. the excess OF the current years con-
sumption over production-is three million
bags In other words. this valorized cof-
Zee is being put out SO as to maintain as
nearly as possible the normal average
supply OF coffee in the world market.
AS a guarantee for the payment of the
bonds, the government of Brazil agreed
to levy an export tax on coffee and to
remit weekly the collections of this tax
go toward paying the interest and the
principal of the bonds. 1t was further
agreed by the Brazilian government that
the future supply Of coffee should be

and all new trees planted since the con-
summation of the valorization scheme
have been destroyed. It ought to be said
In this connection that the short crop OF
the current year Is due to FROST but as a
frost crop is nearly always fol-
lowed by a huge crop-such as that of
19O6-and as trees planted before valoriza-
ton are just beginning to come into bear
ing. the shortage cannot be expected to
continue. The valorization scheme Will
continue in force until 1918.
It was seriously proposed in Brazil to
levy an export tax of 10 per cent on all
coffee shipped out Of the country. the tax
to be payable in kind. that is, that one
tenth Of the coffee by weight be taken.
and this tenth be destroyed by sinking
1t in the sea or by burning 1t. This part
Of the scheme did not 60 into effect.

day, week by week and month by month,
until the net increase on the principal
grades is now considerably more than
100 per cent.
The burden of this increase falls more
heavily on the American people than on
any other because of the fact that the
Americans consume more conee, both

American consumes from eleven to twelve
