SCHOOLS DAILY PROGRAMME.
Reading the Most Important Subject in School Work, Says Secretary Hine.

In the course in school management conducted by Secretary C. D. Hine at the DanbuTy summer school the sub ieCt for Wednesday morning was the daily programme as used in the school MT. Hine said that the pro gramme should reflect the combined Judgment of the teacher and super visor. In planning a programme one must keep the object and value of each subject in mind. Reading" said Mir Hine, lis the most important of school work. Reading opens up the whole world to the child Children should read international stories and should cultivate taste for seod liter ature," Other subjects mentioned by Mir. Hine are spelling and penman- ship.
 Miss Katherine T. Harty of Danbury talked to the teachers on the subject of methods She had time only to mention briefly the main consideration in each subject. Geography, reading, language and spelling are the branch es considered,
 During this period some of the pu- pils from the New street school pre- sented three interesting dramas-the first entitled Christopher Columbus at the Court of Spain, the second Paul Revere and the Battle of Lexington, and the third was called Patrick Henry, These dramas as presented by the pupils proved very interesting and the teachers who enjoyed them were impressed with their value as school exercises. The children appar- ently enjoyed acting their parts, and 1 it was also evident that they were i'm 1 pressed with the historical facts pre- 1 sented. As language and historical
 exercises these dramas furnish valua-
 ble adjuncts to the equipment of the 1 school The dramas have been care 1 fully prepared by Miss Gertrude Hand 1 of Danbury, one of the teachers in the model school.
 The course in penmanship which ts 1 in charge of Harry Houston of New Haven, has proved so popular that il
 is impossible for all wishing to take 1 the work to get into one room. Fol
 this reason Mir. Houston has decided 1 to give two lectures daily and to con. duet the class exercises as usual

MILK PRODUCERS
 ARE TROUBLED.
16,o0o Less Cows in Connecticut Than Ten Years Aeo-No Solution but Raise in Price.

The milk producers of the state, at least in the western part, and there IS no reason why the same conditions do not obtain in eastern Conneeticut, all though here they have bedW engaged recently with another aspect of the milk question, are hard up against the problem of making a profit from the dairy business, as matters stand to- day.
 The Waterbury Milk Producers as sociation, for inst-nce, has just voted to raise the price of milk to retailers from 3-4 centssa quart to S-4 cents. The reason for the raise in price, they stated, was the increased cost of grain and labor The increase will become effective Aug. l.
 This had been expected for some time and consequently the retail deal CTS of Waterbury will jump their prices from ! cents a quart to 8 cents a quart, while bottle milk will cost | g cents a quart after the first of Au- gust instead of cents. Three month contracts had been made by the re- | tailers this year instead of the six month contracts and the farmers said | they lost money last year by supplying milk on contract from May until Octo- l ber because of the dry spell. The short contracts will end July S1, so | the raise in price can be made. A | feature of the vote is that these prices are not temporary, but will be in force 1 throughout the year, which may keep | the price of milk and g cents from August on. The retailers have nc choice but to put the price that high as they cannot do business at cheaper rates, they say.
 When one of the largest retailers in | the city was asked his opinion of the
 situation, he had the following to say:
 The farmers have the situation 1T their own hands and we can do noth- | ing but comply with their rulings 1 There was a time when we used to gC up in the country and tell them how much we would pay for milk; now w go up to find out how much we can ge 1t for. We either have to raise thu price following their action or else gC out of business. I don't expect tha
 any retailers will be able to sell mill
 at less than 8 cents a quart regular O g cents for bottled milk"
 I Mir. Bassett told of the rather gloom! prospects for the farmers unless the.
 did something to increase the price O
 milk so that they could make a living
 Another prominent dealer stated tha
 there were 5000 less cows in Connec
 ticut at the present time than theT
 was ten years ago. and that more O
 the farmers would be forced out of tn
 dairy business unless they could get living price for their milk
