CONDITION Of
SOME DISTRICT

MADISON, Jan. 6.-''Two schools
in one township were held in pri-
vate homes. In both cases the
schools were attended by one family

paid to the owner of the house:
$l2 a month for room TO school his
own children.
So month for fuel for heating this
room in his 1own house.
S. a month janitor fee for cleaning
this same room.
In addition the family received
SIG month for boarding the teacher.
In one case the school room was in
an attic but clean and tidy The
teacher used it as a sleeping ROOM
But one pupil was enrolled In the
other case two pupils wree enrolled
The school room was a log house
which was absolutely filthy. dark,
dingy, unkept and hardly fit for
stable purposes. The room white as
ed for school purposes was used by
the family as If no school was there
The school officers desired to trans
pert these children nine miles to the

When the secretary was asked
to explain the reason for these pur
chases he said they were for the

has brought out the fact that dur
ing January, 1912. a professional
wrestler had come to town and had
given several exhibitions in school
gymnasium. The secretary OF the
school board, the principal of the
school and the druggist who sod
these supplies to the school were
pupils of this wrestler and frequent

owned were small The $40 wrestl-

men were having their bouts, and
while it cannot be proven, it does
seem evident that it was bought too

from not having a large mat upon

ed of money justly due them. Venti-
Iation of school rooms is poor and
School buildings and grounds are not
properly cared for. Teachers are ap-
pointed because of their political con
nection. State supervision CT rural
schools is very defective. County
supervision, except in a few cases,
is woefully deficient
A good part Of the report is deyot-
ed 10 pointing out specially good
points in the mural schools of the
state It shows that in spite of de
fects in organization, lack Of authoTi-
ty and inadequacy Of clerical help
on the part of County Superintend

found where a strong personality
has found ways of effectively direct
ing school boards, supervising teach
ers, starting instruction in useful
arts and helping teachers to be lead
ers in community life. Zone striking
illustration of such leadership" the
report continues, is furnished by
Oconto County, which differs not so
much in the Kind as in the number
of forward steps taken"
At the end of the report are a
series of legislative and administra-

are county boards of education to
be elected at the general school e

Prosecution Of Milk Dealers
In Progress al Portland.
Official Returns Of The Primary
Announced by Council Com.
Commissioner Of Agriculture 10 An.
swsr Apple Packing Questions.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting Of Governor and
Council, Friday, Aug. %, 1918, 10 A. M.

Portland dealers, whose names are
not mentioned, have been reminded OF
the time-worn maxim that Honesty
is the best Policy for they have. or
will have on their hands the defense
of complaints brought against them
for selling adulterated milk and milk
below standard. The State milk in
spector, Russell S. Smith, has been in
that city, which evidently imagined
itself secure from investigation. and
has found that several of the dealers
have mixed up with their milk. lib
eral supply of water, while others have
been selling milk that is way below
standard.
Section 8 of Chapter 1923 of the Re-
vised Statutes provides that whoever.
himself oil his agent, sells, exchanges
or delivers, or has in his custody or
possession with intent to sell. exchange
or deliver, or expose or offers for sale
or exchange, milk which is not of good
STANDARD quality, adulterated milk or
milk to which water or any foreign
substance has been added. or milk
produced from sick or diseased cows.
or milk in or from cans or other uten-
sis that are not clean or sanitary.
cream or a part thereof has been re-
moved. shall for the first offense be
punished by fine not exceeding $50.
for second offense by a fine not less
than $50 nor more than 500, and by
imprisonment for not less than thirty
nor more than sixty days.
And" states the section, I'm prose-
cutions hereunder milk, which upon
tot,
Ills per cent. of milk solids or less
than 3.25 per cent. of fat shall not be
considered milk of good standard quail
ity."
While the number of prosecutions are
not as large as could be gathered with
larger force covering the State. it is
the intention of the milk inspector to
| do away with all such selling as he
| has found in Portland, and in many
| other places.
| 1t is the intention of the State De-
| rartment of Agriculture to carry out
the law to the letter, to obliterate the
| dealer whose personal greed leads him
| to adulterate the milk. and sell milk
| below standard. in perhaps the cheap
est sort of cans and under unsanitary
| conditions, in order that penny saw
ed is dollar earned for him. while
| the consumer pays the difference.
Portland Is not the only town where
| the milk inspector has found milk be-
| low the standard and Brunswick and
| Biddeford dealers have also had their
troubles. 1t is the contention of the
department that the dealer who sells
| standard, unadulterated milk, under
| sanitary conditions, is the man who
makes the money out of the dairy
| FARM and who holds the respect and
, trust of his customers, an asset which
is by far more valuable than the money
he would receive by unlawful meth
