Educational Notes

Twenty-one states in the union have
abolished the common drinking cup
in schools.
A two years course in forestry has
been instituted at the University of
Wisconsin to meet the demand for
trained forest rangers.
More than a thousand school teach
ers in the Netherlands are banded to-
gether in an association for temper
ance work among their pupils.
Two thousand, one hundred and
ninety women attended the Univer-
sity of Paris during the past year.
Ninety-nine studied law, $40 medicine,
24S science, 80 pharmacy, and the re-
mainder were in the course in letters.
The school farm movement in Wake
county, North Carolina, which has at
tracted wide attention, is described
by County Superintendent Judd in an
illustrated bulletin just issued by the
United States bureau of education.
At a conference of Swedish teachers
struction in domestic science in the
schools must deal principally with the
substantial things, instead of the
caramel and tart" kind.
The woman's law class at New York
university is probably unique in that
it Is not intended to prepare women
for the practice of law, but to give
them sufficient legal knowledge to
conduct the administration of trust
estates and other forms of business.
In urging the need of vocational
training. the Indiana commission on
| industrial and agricultural education
estimates that there are fully $4,000
boys and girls in that state between
the ages of IA and 16 who have not
secured adequate preparation for life
work in the schools and are now
working at jobs which hold no prom
Use of future competence or advance
ment.
The House of Science" just found
ed by private benefaction at Tomsk,
Siberia, aims to be a popular Siberian
university, where free instruction will
be given in elementary and advanced
subjects Special evening classes will
be held; library and a museum of
practical Information will form part
of the equipment, and instruction in
sanitation and hygiene will have a
leading place in the program.
Soldiers at Fort Mcpherson, Ga,
will have a school of practical BUSH
ness, IL the reported plans of General
Evans, in command of the department
of the gulf, are carried into effect.
Among the subjects of instruction will
be Intelligent reading, simple arith-
metic, single entry bookkeeping, legi-
BILE writing, stenography, automobile
and explosive gas engineering, and
| telegraphy. The idea is to furnish
the enlisted man with schooling that
will enable him TO earn a good living
at the expiration of his enlistment.
The school is part of a plan to make
the army more attractive to young
men.

WHATS THE NATTER:
One Of the best arguments in favor
Of the commission form Of city govern
ment is its supposed ability TO look
after Just such details as this. There
is no cumbersome machinery to be
moved in order to secure executive
action.
The question Of putting up some
sort OF safeguard along this fill has
been discussed in council, but nothing
has been done. Why not?

terial, OF in actual road work, and the
cooperation of the railroads would en-
able us to build 900 miles of concrete
or 1000 miles of macadam road, II to
16 feet wide.
Eight million dollars per year for
Is years will build $4,000 miles of con-
crete road which, with the 5000 miles
of macadam, brick and concrete roads
already built, would give US total Of
$4,000 miles, or 20 per cent of our to-
tai mileage.
IF concrete roads are built, the
maintenance will be reduced to a min
imum, and the automobile tax, with
its natural annual increase, will be
ample to meet this expense.
How much would this state appro-
priation add to our taxes?
The assessed valuation of all the
property in this state for the. year 1912
is approximately s2,4O0, 100000, and
with the usual increase for the follow
ing nine years would give about 81
9O0,000,000 by 1921, which would be
the average for the is years.
ITO raise 100000 on an assessed
valuation of $2,9O0,OOO,OO0 would re-
quire tax of IA cents per 800 of as
sessed valuation.
The cost to a man owning prop
erty worth $1,000, which would be as
! sessed at $500, would be 20 cents per
annum.
/ AVERAGE COST Low.
THE average farm in. Illinois con
tains 129 acres and the average as
sessed valuation including improve
ments, according to the 1911 report OF
/ the state board of equalization, is SIC
per acre. The average farm would
thus be assessed at $2,5s0, which, al
IA cents per $1,000, would cost 1851
4 yearly.
Every farmer often sees the time
when to be able to make one trip over
good roads is worth the amount of the
above tax.
1t is shown that by issuing bonds
and carrying an average of $4,000, 00(
annually for Is years the 10000 mile:
the assessment of the average farm
being increased about S1.30 per annun
by this method.
The recommendation is made tina
the present automobile tax fund b.
!, held to form nucleus for a road funt
of the kind proposed.
, The comprehensiveness of the plal
advocated will be better comprehendec
: when it is understood that IS per cen
of the traffic on the highways is cal
ried upon only between Is and 90 pc
cent of the roads. Nineteen THOUSAND
miles of permanent roads, built as sug
gested. would provide means of trans
! portation for nearly everybody.
