There have been a thousand defni-

Development Only Begun.

Now az to the present condition OF
this new work: All public schools,
whether in cities, villages or rural dis
tricts. teach drawing. Three-fourths u
the city schools offer courses In manual
training, cooking and sewing. One-half
the village schools give courses In sew
ing one-third In manual training and
cooking. There are forty public Indus
trial and trade schools. with day en-
rolment OF four thousand and an
evening enrolment OF three thousand
nupiIs. Twenty-clght village high
schools have vocational courses in agrl-
culture. and twenty others give agri-
cultural teaching Of n less definite
character. There are ten thousand
pupils in evening departments OF exist
ing dey schools, learning the trade APP
nIications OF drawing, science and
mathematics. These industrial, trade
and agricultural schools have been de-
yaloned i'm New York. under the de-
nartment, within the last four years.
Meanwhile the number OF pupils receiv-
ing such training has quadrupled. You
will agree with me. 1 hope, in thinking
th,s a great and quick development In
a new field; but 1t is only begun. The
next four years will tell a larger story.

misfortune. But It was not wholly ir-
reparable. The library was uncom-
monty rich in manuscripts. the old
records Of the Dutch government from
Peter Stuyvesant down, the papers Of
sir William Johnson and much else re-
lating TO the early history Of New
York. Thanks to the skill and activity
OF the stan, a part OF these at first
thought destroyed were saved In
more or less damaged condition.
Where actually burnt, manuscripts
cannot, OF course, be replaced But
most burnt books can be. And here
again the state has made generous pro-
visions for our doing what is possible.

New York in the Front Rank.
Il have already acknowledged the
,munificent support we have lately re-
celved from the state In our special
emergency. But / wonder how gen
orally II Is realized by our citizens or
even by this audience that the people
Of this state regularly spend more, and
more freely, for their schools than for
any other object; three times as much,
in fact. as for all other public objects

reformatory. charitable, curative, agrl-
cultural, defensive, and all the rest
In round numbers the state appropri-
ates $8,5OO.O00 for It's schools-$1. OOO,-
600 more than for any other object.

ject coming under It's care, 1t certainly
should be with the training Of the ris-
ing generation. l hope you all, and
that particularly our foreign guests and
critics may see reason to think that
in the discharge Of this duty New York
has not fallen below that high vocation.
We hope, too, you may be convinced
that 1t stands In the front rank not
merely In these colossal expenditures,
but in their results. II anywhere We
are found behind, II will be a favor to
this board and to the Commissioner
OF Education II you will point 1t out.
We promise you our speediest and best
efforts to catch up, and we thank you
in advance for any helpful hints in that
direction.
I'VE know perfectly that the great
community we servo still suffers from
many ills. For ell Of them our ono
remedy is light, and again light, and
to the end more and more light. And
we seek to spread this light in the
spirit OF John Ruskin, to make our
young people not only do the right
things, but enjOU the right things-not
merely industrious, but to love indus
try-not merely learned, but to love
Acknowledgement merely pure, but to

Tho Mission Of Books.

Tho Mission Of Books.
I'VE prize our books beyond every
thing. But our conception OF their
uses Is not quite that OF the dilettante
booklover who clothes them In price
less bindings, guards them jealousy on
secluded shelves and prides himself
on their constant good condition. II Is
rather that Of the practical person. who
believes that book-like an educa-
tional official, for that matter-is made
to be worn out in the public service.
We strive TO bring our books and our
accumulated methods OF diffusing the
information that is in them directly 10
all who can use them throughout the
homes Of the state. Our travelling IL
braries traverse the state, almost on
call. like our pictures and maps for
the schools. There are about fifty
thousand volumes devoted TO this pur-
pose, and In assorted lots, for general
reading or for special studies, they are
going, in twenty-five or fifty volume
libraries, every few weeks to some new
community, anywhere in the state, from
Montauk Point 10 Lake Erie. Our in
dexes ard guides to recent legislation
on any subject and in any state are al
ways ready for consultation by our
legislators and all others interested.
Some years ago a brilliant New York
lawyer, in discussing the historic losses
fore one OF our universities, said:
Rome fell, not for lack OF skilful archi-
tects or learned lawyers or trained
generals, but because there were no
more Romans. The state had lost the
art of teaching virtue There are
still Americans, thank God! though the
Jealous observer sometimes fears that
the type is changing. Certainly with
the influx Of over a million aliens a
year It is vital that this state shall not
lose the art Of teaching virtue

pressed in another form by Lord Rose

former years.

A discussion regarding how much
cold eggs intended for incubation can
withstand and still hatch into normal
chickens has been going on lately in
some of the agricultural papers. The
statement has been made that no ex-
act scientific studies have ever been
carried out to determine this point
DR.. Raymond Pearl, biologist of the
Maine agricultural experiment station,
in discussing this matter points out
that careful Investigations regarding
this point were made by European
workers many years ago. An investi-
gator found that about 80 degrees
Fair, was the lowest temperature at
which the egg would survive an ex-
posture of any more than one Of two
hours duration. 1t has been shown
by another that the germ of hens
egg can Withstand very extreme de-
gree of cold for a short time. He
kept eggs at temperature of about
one-half a degree below zero for half
an hour without killing the germ. 1t
is thus plain that this interesting mat
ter has been studied scientifically.
For the practical poultryman keeping
eggs for incubation, however, the i'm
portant thing is not to know the low
est temperature which an egg can
possibly endure for brief period and
still hatch but rather to know what
holding temperature for eggs will give
the best results in the subsequent
hatch in respect to both number and
quality of chicks. Careful expert
ments on this point have shown that
one gets the best results by holding
eggs pending incubation at a tenn
perature somewhat between so and 55
degrees Fair. Eggs held in this way
turn out more and better chickens
than those held for incubation at
either higher of lower temperature.

FARMERS ARE BUSY

Charles Kangas, the we'll known
Pike farmer, school teacher and gen.
enal +all around promoter of the
farming section in these parts, was
a business visitor in the city the
first of the week. Mr.. Kangas says
that the farmers in the Pike district
are busy putting in their crops and
making other preparations for a busy
season.. Mr.. Kangas stated that the
farmers were anxious that the propos-
ed market place for Virginia would
materialize and that the place be
ready for the fall harvest so that
they would be able to have some
place to exhibit and market their
products. The farmers are also look
ing forward to the time when the
Commercial club of Virginia will
hold another farmers day. and
promise that the exhibits at that
time will be better and greater than
at the produce show held here last
September.
