gathered there. He looked like dea-

puted to be immensely wealthy. In
speaking of the visit. the senator said
"One of the objects which attracted

State Leads in Mineral Water.

Wisconsin led the states in value
of mineral water sold in 1918, and was
second only to New York in quantity
of output. This is shown in a report
of the department of the interior re-
ceived at Madison. The total sales
were 6,326,533 gallons, valued at $S72,-
Sis, and nine-tenths of the output
was sold for table use. The 1913 out
put represented an increase of per
cent in quantity and of less than per
cent in value. The average price de-
creased about one-half cent a gal
Ion.
Resorts accommodating 1000 guests
were operated at two springs, but none
of the waters was used for bathing.
In addition to the quantity reported
as sold, 10000 gallons were used in
the manufacture of soft drinks. Thir-
ty-four active springs were being op-
Grated in the state during the year re-
ported on. They were located in the
following counties: Brown, Wau-
kesha. Oconto Ashland, Polk, Milwau-
kee, Chippewa. Sheboygan. Waupaca,
Lafayette, jefferson, Crawford, Wal
worth Rock, Winnebago. Manitowoc,
Dane, Douglas and Racine.
The average price per gallon of Wis
consin spring water was IA cents. The
total value of medicinal waters was
$S3 1882, and of table waters s7SS.536.
making a total value of sS72,51S. The
state of New York leads in the num-
Der of commercial springs, quantity Of
water sold and value of table water
and nearly ties Wisconsin for first
place in total value, though the value
of medicinal water marketed from
New York is relatively low.
The sales of table water in New
York and Wisconsin are more than
twice as great as those in any other
state. These were the only states re-
porting sales of more than 100000
gallons of water. In three states.
Wisconsin. New York and California.
the total value of the mineral water
output exceeded 100000.

In Wisconsin" he said. there are
$685. teachers in one-room rural
schools OF this number 1866 have
never taught before and so per cent
OF them do not remain in teaching
work for more than two years.
THE result of this has been that
we have been putting new teachers in
every year. and the children have been
getting the benefit of hardly any
teaching experience. Under the new
law creating supervising teachers this
condition is remedied. While we still
have the same percentage of new
teachers. these supervising teachers
are required to supervise their work"
