MILK CHEAP FOOD;
SURPLUS IN STATE
No Need for Conserving This Product,
M. A. c. Expert Says Costs Less
Than Meat and Eggs

Than Meat and Eggs
East Lansing, May 8-Reports COM
Ing daily to the Michigan Agricultur-
al college tell of surplus of milk in
many parts of the state, while at the
same time housewives, uniformed of
this situation, are continuing to de-
crease their milk purchases as part
Of their food-saving program. The
truth of the matter is, according to
DR.. Mary Anderson of the extension
department of M. A. c., that milk is
food which can be used without
stint, and is cheaper as prevailing city
prices than either meat or eggs.
every growing child" she declares
"should have at least one quart of
fresh milk daily, for it is especially
essential, because of its high food
value and mineral salt content, in
tuilding up the frame work of grow
ing children.
milk is our cheapest source of pro-
tein and even at present city prices
costs less than meat or eggs. Skim
milk is even cheaper, costing, from
the standpoint of food value, less than
one-half as much as meat.
"A quart of milk contains enough
protein for one-fourth the daily ration
Of an average man or woman not en-
gagged in heavy physical labor.
Liberal use of milk at this time, in
addition to being economy in the home
will help lessen our milk surplus and
decrease the need for wheat and 9TH
or foods which we must share with
our allies"

MEANING OF EDUCATION

So many are writing, praising the
advantages of an education, that
desire to give some of my views on
the subject. | fear that most of us
! fail to grasp the meaning of the word
education. In its broadcast sense il
means the art of cultivating and de-
veloping all the powers of man. But
i'm the way the word is used ordin-
arily, it means the development and
cultivation of the intellectual powers.
Speaking in simple terms, we will say
that education is acquired knowledge.
1t matters not where this knowledge
is gained, whether while cultivating
corn in the field. watching the fitting
birds in the forest, or riding on rail-
road train. 1t will always be Of ad-
vantage to US if acquired in the right
way.
Some men who can scarcely read or
write have secured better general
education than many others who have
been surrounded the greater part of
their lives by four gloomy school
house walls. The principles OF free
government are founded on the idea
that its citizens are educated;. but
suppose the people in childhood have
failed to receive the right kind of
tTdlnlnHs lnt kOstA iittitntt inv 'tt~A y
of Mexico, will be unable to hold its
subjects in obedience to its commands.
1t is Mt so much the knowledge ac-
CURED at school that benefits thepupll,
but the discipline and orderly methods
by which he is controlled and guild
ed. that assist him most.
CAS- is the teacher, so is the school, :
is an old and true saying. And what
ever good is obtained bv attending
school depends much on the teacher
who is directing the efforts of the
scholars. That their education may
be so twisted b ythe instructors can
not be better illustrated than to refer
you to the teachings that have been
given the common people Of Germany
for the last forty years. We all know
that training has been militarism
from the cradle to manhood. And
you remember that Germany was
considered one of the most highly edu-
Gated and civilized nations in the
world before the war.
