PURCHASING OF FOOD
TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
New York Adopts New Course
Originated by George W. Per-
kins, the Financier.
BY CARLTON TEN EYCK.

NEW YORK. Sept. ga new course
in the New York public schools is
planned-in fact already has been
adopted and is now in course of prepa-
Iration-that should win the support of
every parent on Manhattan Island This
course will be the teaching of buying
groceries and meat.
Books will not he relied upon. This
course will be "A practical One-as prac-
tical as the teaching of carpenter work
in manual training school or the art
of cookery in the domestic science in
stitutions. Every day, after the regu-
lar school hours, the children will be
sent to stores" to purchase groceries
and meats oStensibly for their homes.
The stores will be real ones supplied
by the board of education. The teach
Srs will be retired grocers and butchers
who are heartily in accord with the
plan.
The children will be taught how to
select the best cuts of meats at the
best prices. how to buy groceries eco
nomically and in fact the course in
general will be another wallop at the
housekeeper's ancient enemy-the High
Cost of Living.
George W. Perkins. chairman of the
mayors special committee on food
prices. Is the originator of the scheme.
When his committee was appointed
soon after the outbreak of the Euro
pean war to investigate conditions in
order to prevent a sudden rise in the
price of foodstuffs. he began to
study the question from all angles. He
decided that inasmuch as the children
do most of the buying for the homes,
being sent to the stores by their
mothers after school, they should be
taught how to buy properly and eco
nomically. The board of education lent
a willing ear to his plan. Perkins told
of his idea of having retired butchers
and grocers-oersons who understand
the misunderstanding as teachers At
once several such persons came for
ward and volunteered their services.
At first il is planned, to have only
one or two stores" where the lessons
may be given until the scheme is given
a thorough tryout. Then If it proves
practicable. a store will be main

CHILDREN TOLL BY
JUMPING IN FACTORY
Curious Form of Labor Still Per-
Sists in Staffordshire Pot

LONDON. Sept S-From the Mid
lands comes the report of still exist
ing and remarkable form of child labor.
1t is mentioned by DR.. a. A Till. of
Tunstall. Stafordshre. in the report OF
the chief inspector of factories and
workshops for 1913 Describing the
work of children who. working as han
die makers. earn a living in the pot
teries by jumping. he says:
small and undersiZed boys and girls
are usually engaged as handle makers
in fact. many have to reach the work
bench by standing on boxes or stools
The strip of clay for the handle Is
placed in the hollow space between the
halves of the mold. which is then just
on the edge of the bench, and the
young worker. making a short spring or
jump. presses with the full weight of
his body upon the top of the mold, re-
peating this process $50 to 200 times an
hour.
Great pain and tenderness DR.. Hill
adds. are thus induced. and many
young workers have to give up the o.
cupation on account of their suffering.

BRYAN ASKS SALE Of
MONTICELLO TO j. S.
Urges Congressman Levy to
Reconsider Refusal to Part
With Historic Place..

The purchase of Monticello by the
National Government at this time
would commemorate the great Demo
cratic Administration of President Will
son. which is being conducted on JEFF
fersonian principles. and the fact that
the President is by birth n Virginian,
makes the present moment still more
opportune," says Secretary Of State
Bryan in a letter addressed to Congress
man Jefferson NJ. Levy of New York,
the present owner of the historic estate,
urging that he sell the property to the
Government.
The letter is as follows:
My Dear Mr.. Levy: You will re-
member that several years ago / sug-
gested to You the propriety of selling
Monticello to the National Government.
You then declined. on the ground that
you did not like to have it go out of
the possession OF your family. | have
never relinquished :he hope that you
would some day yield to the popular
desire that the Government should own
Monticello and keep it in memory of the
author of the Declaration of lndepend-
ence whose residence and tomb there
make the spot sacred. | have recently
noticed that a bill has been introduced
in Congress authorizing the purchase OF
this historic place. and l write to urge
you anew to consider the advisability or
selling the property to the Government.
Il appreciate your very natural desire
to occupy it during your life. but this
might be accomplished by a clause in
the deed reserving for yourself a life
interest in the place, the possession to
pass 20 the Government upon your
death. What do you think of the
proposition?
1T seems to me that this would be
fitting time to make the deed-it would
commemorate the great Democratic Ad-
ministration of President Wilson, which
is being conducted on Jeffersonian prin-
ciples, and the fact the President is by
birth a Virginian makes the present mo-
meut still more opportune.
With assurances of regard, | am,
