THE FOREIGN COMMERCE OF
THE UNITED STATES FOR 1871

A picture of the foreign commerce of
the United States during the year just
closing is presented by the Bureau of
Statistics, Department of Commerce
and Labor, in the figures for the month
of November and the eleven months
ending with November They show
the imports and exports by great
groups, made up by combining into
separate classes the various articles OF
a similar character, such as foodsthffs,
manufactures, materials for use in
manufacturing, etc, etc. These eleven
months figures, accompanied as they
are by the figures for the single month
of November, enable a close estimate
of the business for the full year, since
it may be assumed that the December
figures will in most cases approximate
those for November and that by the
addition of the November figures to
those for the eleven months reason
ably accurate estimate of the business
for the full year which ends with the
current week may be obtained,
Imports for the eleven months end
ing with November. 1911, were valued
at 1924 million dollars, against 1426
million in the corresponding months
of 1910 OF this total of 1922 mil
lion dollars worth of imports, 3241s
We're manufactures ready for use,
against S44k million in the same
months of last year, a fall of 20 mil
lion dollars. This decrease occurred
chiefly in manufactures of iron and
steel, manufactures of wood, and man
utactures of silk Manufactures for
further use in manufacturing import
ed show practically no change when
compared with the corresponding
months of last year. Crude materials
for use in manufacturing show de
cided falling off, being for the eleven
months of 1911 459 million dollars
against 493 million in the same months
of 1910, the decrease of 81 million oc
curing chiefly in india rubber, hides
and skins, and wool. Foodstuffs part
ly or wholly manufactured show a de
cline of IS million dollars, the clever
months figures being 166 million
against 1S1milli on last year. The de
cline occurred chiefly in sugar, o
which the quantity imported is mater
tally less than last year. Crude food
stuffs imported show "a marked in
crease, the eleven months figures o
1911 being 1851 million dollars
against 1874 million in the same month.
of last year This is largely due to az
advance in the price of coffee, o
which the stated value OF the clever
months imports was SO 20 million dol

lars in 1911, against 60 million in
1910, though the increase in quantity
was very slight, from 677 million
pounds in eleven months of 1910 to
697 million in a like period of 1911,
the advance in value being due, there
fore, chiefly to higher prices.
On the export side manufactures
ready for consumption show for eleven
months a total of 5S4 million dollars,
against a like period OF last year, an
increase of 80 million dollars, while
for November the figures are 81 2-3
million, \against 46 l-3 million dollars
in November of last year. Manufact-
ures for further use in manufacturing
exportei increased from 259 million
dollars in eleven months of 1910 to
293 million in the same months of the
current year, a growth of "a million
dollars, while for the single month of
November they increased from 24A
to a little over 26 million dollars.
This indicates that the total value of
manufactures SEM to foreign countries
during the full year will be about 900
million dollars, and if to this is added
the value 'of those sent to Porto Rico
and Hawaii, the total value of manu-
features sent out of continental United
States will for the first time approx
mate and probably pass the billion dol
lar line. Exports of crude materials
for use in manufacturing in the eleven
months were valued at 571h million
dollars, against 534 million last year
though for November the figures are
below those of the same month OF
1910, the total for last month being 81
million dollars, against 81 l-3 millior
in November, 1910. Foodstuffs crude
and those partly or wholly manufact
ured show in each case a marked IN
crease in exports when compared witt
last year. Crude foodstuffs exported
in the eleven months advanced from
70 2-3 million dollars in 1910 to 1902 q
million, and those partly or wholly
manufactured, from 22S to 277 million
The crude foodstuffs exported are
chiefly wheat, corn, oats, and food ami
mails; those partly or wholly manufact
ured include -four, meats, dairy prod
ucts, cottonseed- oil. lard, and othe
articles of this character

INSPECTOR GIBSONS COURSE OF
STUDY FOR COUNTRY SCHOOLS

T. II. Gibson, inspector of schools
has made a report on the course OF
study in the public schools, which is
published in the Hawaiian Forester
and Agriculturist for December. Mr.
Gibson shows that he has not missed
his calling, but that the work in which
he is engaged commands his best
thought and energy. He has not
spared himself any pains in getting W
this report and in procuring sugges
lions from some of the leading educa
tionists of the mainland upon the
scheme of studies prepared by him
This difficult task brings to the sur
face the cream of twenty years OF
active experience on the part of the
author, as well as the matured ideas
of recognized educational authorities
of the United States.
The greatness of conception is
shown in the fact that the man has
run neither to one extreme nor to the
other He does not wish to torture
the child with mass of unnecessary
culture that will be of no practical
benefit, but he does wish them to
come into a perfect understanding OF
all that may be helpful and that may
acquaint them with the many beauties
of life, so that they will be able to
appreciate all that is supplied. Be.
sides this he goes into the many tech
nicalities of teaching of getting the
most out of the pupil with the least
effort of judging character so as to
understand each individual pupil, and
thus gaining the maximum result.
Altogether, it is an able and com
prehensive work. Prefaced by the
views of educationists and his replies
thereto and comments thereon, the
following is given as the guide and
standard which all country schools
may strive to reach
First year-Reading, spelling Ian
guage, number work, writing, music,
nature study, general exercises.

REPUBLICAN LEADER
 ON POSTMASTERSHIP
Says Dr. Thompson Will Not Get the
 Pine BiuM Plum.

In discussing the question of a postmaster for Pine Bluff with the editor of the Graphic at Little Rock yesterday, prominent Republican, an acknowledged leader of the Taft fonoes, admtt tied that the appdint- ment of pr. R. C. Thompson had ac- tually been made, but stated emphat- icaily that the commission would never be issued and that the ap- pointment would be withdrawn
 As the party leaders in every state in the Union practically name the postmasters in their respective states. this statement is considered final blow to the hopes of pr. Thompson. When questioned as to probable appointees the politician refused stn make any statement.
