Pineapple and Chocolate Custard

Pare a ripe pineapple and cut
into small pieces. Sprinkle it
thickly with sugar, put it in a
glass dish, and set in a cold place
for several hours. Put a pint of
milk in a double boiler, and when
it is scalding hot stir in two tab
lespoonfuls of grated chocolate
which has been mixed to- a smooth
paste with a little cold milk. Stir
and cook until it begins to thick
en-, then add the yolks of two eggs
beaten with four tablespoonfuls
of sugar. Cook a few minutes
longer, then remove from the fire,
and stir in one teaspoonful of va
nilla extract. Set the custard a
side to cool, then pour it over the
prepared pineapple, and set all on
the ice until very cold. Beat the
whites of the eggs to stiff froth
with two tablespoonfuls of pow
dered sugar, and heap over the
top. A novel and delicious desert
and worth trouble.

Florida s Schools

What's the matter with Flori-
da s schools?
Probably the same things that
take from the fullest efficiency of
schools in other southern states,
if not in every state in the Union.
In the main, it is lack of adapt
ability to the physical and mental
capacities of the pupils, which de-
tracts from their highest useful
ness.
1t must be evident to students
of psychology that'the same meth
DDS of training do not fit all chill
dren equally well, and the inelas-
ITCHY of the common school sys-
TEN requires that the child be ac-
commodated to the system rather
than the system to the child.
Much responsibility remains I'M
der this system with the teacher,
especially the teacher of the
younger pupils, that the individ-
Iual necessities be studied out and
met.
In the first place, the child of
average mental capacity and ply
steal activity should not be sent to
school before it is seven years old.
To this time of its life, knowledge
is acquired by observation and not
by any processes of reasoning. Up
to this period the child is an imi-
tative little animal, whose chief
occupation is growing, eating,
sleeping, growing and playing,
and undoubtedly this is of ma
ture's planning.
When it has completed its first
septennium and fromthen to the
tenth year, it begins to differen-

Whereas, there have been pre-

Bitter Orange Jelly

Specialists of the department in
the course of experiments have OBJ
served that the hitherto useless
fruit of the sour or bitter orange
can be made to yield a highly pal
atable jelly which promises to al
ford use for a large amount of
this wasted fruit. This fruit is
too bitter to be eaten raw, The
chemists, however, found that the
pulp or interior of this orange,
with the unusually bitter skin re-
moved and with the addition of
twice as much sugar, would jell in
to an ber-colored product not
quite so bitter as bitter orange
marmalade but having some of the
Characteristic flavor of that con-
serve.-U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.

human, with it's reasoning powers
more or less in embryo, but ready
for the careful training of the
schools.
But the modern school system
ignores the physical needs as well
as the mental capabilities of the
average youngster While it fails
largely to estimate the mental Ca
pacity and to adapt the school
room work, it also guages the
powers of bodily endurance by
that OF the teacher, usually per-
son of adult years. The tendency
is to overtax the mental receptive
Ity of the child, perhaps to foster
the budding genius of the Swear
old by making it keep pace with
that of the child of a dozen years
or more. Genius of the budding
size should be repressed, not en-
couraged.
And in the earlier years of
school life the physical should be
watched more carefully than the
mental, for physical exhaustion
spoils mental work, even makes it
worse than useless.
The daily sessions of Florida
schools in the city or country, are
too long for continuous work, in
other words, recesses are too few
and in many instances, too short.
No child, boy or girl, from seven
years up to the college time should
be confined continuously in the
school room without relaxation for
more than two hours. Two shor-
ter sessions, with an hour for
lunch between, are vastly better,
more healthful, than one session a
day that stretches from 80 a. M,
to l 80 or 2, p. m, and deferS the
noon lunch an hour or more be-
yond the proper and usual time.
Grown men, especially those en-
gagged in office or mental work, Of
ten boast of going without lunch.
That s their lookout and they are
responsible for themselves, but no
child should be punished that way.
Relaxation and recreation should
never be interfered with by school
work or hours. They should be
provided before the exhaustion of
physical inaction benumbs the bo-
dy and dulls the mind. To keep
a child Sin at recess" should not
be within the authority of any
teacher, for it is an unwarranted
abuse of power.
And for the growing active
child the lunch and meal hours
should be fixed. No school work
should be allowed to displace
them. You don't expect your
horse to do his best if you don t
take care of him, and care means
proper food at the proper time and
plenty of it, and full hours of rest.
Don t ask more of your child than
of your horse.
Florida s school schedules need

MORE FUNDS ARE WANTED FUR
 NEW TRAILS

Further developments of Alaska's system of roads and trails cannot be expected unless Congress increases the allotment of funds, declares Col William P. Richardson, president of the Alaska Board of Road Commis- sioners. in his annual report presented to the war department Hast week.
 The funds allotted, he says are now entirely consumed in repairing and maintaining the existing roads. This according to Colonel Richardson, will become practically a fixed condition from year to year, with the amount of mileage now required to be main tained, and although additional new projects, all more or less meritorious. are being presented to the board every year, with petitions for aid, it is i'm. possible for the board to respond, ex. cept to a very limited degree.
 Colonel Richardson has submitted a plan for the extension of the roads covering a period of three years, with and estimate of $75O,OOO for the first year and it is earnestly hoped that this plan may receive favorable action before the opening of next seasons work.
 While again disclaiming any inten- ton of antagonizing the projected rail way construction in Alaska, Colonel Richardson repeats the former state. ment of the board that no rapid or general development in Alaska will follow the construction of trunk lines of railroads to the interior unless preceded or accompanied by the con s'iuctloh ot many wagon roads and trails as feeders.
 Regarding the bill now before Con gress to create a general development board for Alaska to open its resources, Colonel Richardson declares that 'it is no egotism to say that no other agency of the government is more competent or better equipped for such tasks than the army" and he points to the exten- siye public works accomplished in Alaska in connection with the cable and telegraph systems and the roads and trails run through the wilderness to support this statement.

EUROPEAN CITIES
 WITH NINE LIVES

When the war Is over. says the Lon don Chronicle. we may be sure that most of the towns and cities de- stroyed by the Germans will, Phoe- nix like, rise from their ashes. The teachings of history is that city is hard to kill. For instance, London has been decimated five times by plaques. in addition to visitations of typhus, cholera and other epidemics. She has been burned more or less se- verely several times. Paris has gone through eight sieges, ten fam ines, two plaques and one fire which devastated it. Rome has been swept by pestilence no less than ten times. She has been twice burned and six times drived to submission by starva- tion. Constantinople has been burned out nine times. and has sui fered from four plaques and five sieges.

GLACIER THREATENS
 GOLDSTREAM TOWN

According to information received in Fairbanks from Fox, the Gold stream city is in danger of being at least partially buried by the Fox Gulch glacier in the near future, un- less the residents take radical steps toward digging the ice away or di- verting the water away from the gla- cier toward a new channel or unless the weather stays cold.
 At the present time the glacier has advanced down Fox Gulch until it is now in the back yards of some of the residences and business houses, the mild weather of the earlier months of the winter being held accountable therefor.
 However, should the weather stay cold, it is believed that the glacier will quit running. The report from Goldstream last night was to the effect that there was no immediate danger to property. as goods can be moved faster than the water can advance, and certainly no danger to life.
 The glacier is formed each winter from springs which break out of the hills on the right limit of Fox Gulch, about half a mile above the town of Fox. The weather is usually cold enough to freeze the water as fast as it comes to the surface. The only like occurrence at Fox was that of eight years ago, when the Panama val ley experienced much the same kind Of winter as that which now prevails. Fairbanks Citizen
