NORMAL SCHOOL WILL
 GRANT NEW DEGREE
BACHELOR OF PEDAGOGY TO BE CONFERRED UNDER GER
 TAIN CONDITIONS.

A new degree to be called bachelor of pedagogy will be awarded post graduates of the Arkansas State Normal School, according to a recent decision of the board of trustees. This degree will be conferred upon those who complete courses covering two years work in addition to the work required now for the degree of licentiate of instruction, the only de- gree heretofore granted by the insti- tuition. The diploma conferring the new degree will be equivalent to life teachers license.
 The Normal Echo of yesterday says of the new course:
 This step is going to mean much to the school. Under the present system the constantly changing personnel is disadvantage in many respects. Those coming from good high schools have completed the course in a short time and left the institution before they really became firmly attached to it. This has it's bad effects. Now with the siX-year course in operation most graduates will have spent three or four, and many the full six years in the school Alma Mater will mean more to the graduate of the fu- ture than it has meant to graduates of the past"

mately correct for the country as
whole, varies somewhat from actual
conditions in the Northwest, according
to more recent statistics prepared by
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors
the big cooperation organization Of
growers. The department of agricul-
ture estimates the 1914 apple crop
for the United States at 25S.S62,OO0
bushels, which is an increase of 49,
$4,000 bushels over 1913. 1t also
estimates the production for Washing
ton. Oregon. Idaho and Montana at
"a, 500 bushels, which is an increase of
11,900,000 bushels. The Distributors
after their last survey, including all
districts, by using the government
percentage basis in estimating, set the
total crop of both commercial and nom
commercial apples at 19,427.620 bush
els, which shows an increase of 6,S27,-
$40 bushels or only about half that
claimed by the government
The department fixes the CONNER
cial portion of the crop-that which
reaches the markets--at 40 per cent
of the total production. This would
place the commercial output of the
Northwest, according to the depart
| ments figures, at 1855 carloads;
whereas the Distributors, after a
| check of shipment to date and the
| quantity in storage now, have recently
put it at 1885 carloads.
/ In answer to the complaint of few
| Northwestern shippers that the gov
eminent statistics over-state the crop
and ON that account are liable to de-
press markets, it has been suggested
that the department probably bases
it's estimate of the total Northwestern
crop on figures for the commercial
crop, which is the only accurate data
available, and assumes that this COM
mercial portion of the crop in the
Northwest is merely 40 per cent of the
total crop, just the same as else
where. Although the commercial por-
ton in the Northwest undoubtedly
constitutes much more than 40 pei
cent of the total crop because of i'm
proved orchard methods, having beer
estimated variously from so to so pei
cent, and although if higher percen
tage were used the total crop would
appear to be much less than the gov
ernment's estimate of 24.500,0O0 bush
els, it has been suggested that the
department cannot be expected to
set up special percentage basis fol
anyone section of the country. This
would be particularly true in the case
of the Northwest, which, even accord
ing to the government generous fig
ures, produces only 9h per cent o
the apples of the United States.
