The use of the seeds of various legumes
and cereals as coffee substitutes is not
new. Legumes which have been used or
exploited as coffee beans include the soy
bean, cowpea, chick pea, horse bean, and
jack bean. Other legumes used to some

are native species and commonly known
as coffee plants, are coffee berry or coffee

Behind the appeal for second century
endowment fund of s250000 which is be-
ing made this month by Wilbraham
Academy of Wilbraham, Mass, there is
a real call that can be appreciated only
by the results it has accomplished in the
100 years of its life. Born to simple and
humble circumstances, Wilbraham devel-
oped into truly great school. Its gradu-
ates have gone forth to the four corners
OF the world and much of their achieve
meat has been due to the training they
received while students in the Academy
Men in public life professors. theologists,
educators, scientists and business men
and women have Wllbraham to thank
for the inspiration that led to success.
For many years, in fact for the greater
part Of it's career, Wilbraham was a CO.
educational institution. Men and women
were numbered among the graduates of
the Academy until 1911. Then a change
was determined upon. Instead OF a
school for boys and girls. a new Wilbra-
ham was organized out of the old and
in this later phase it is distinctively a
such, it has rapidly forged to the front,
and with the endowment sought this
month an even greater future is predicted
for no one questions the Importance OF
the secondary school as represented by
the New England academies in the
American scheme of education.
No school, academy or educational in
stitut.on in America has a more inter-
esting history than Wilbraham Academy

few of these legumes especially the soy
bean, possess some merit as coffee sub
stitutes, but the desi... ..--,y of any is
a matter of individual taste. This use
has led to the extensive advertising of
such seeds at various times under mis-
leading names by enterprising individuals,
and even to their large use as adulterants
of the true coffee.
The soy bean, almost since its intro
duction into America, has been exploited
at different times as coffee berry,
coffee beam, new coffee plant" do
nestle coffee berry," and new domestic
coffee berry" For many years the soy
bean has been used to slight extent in
Europe, especially Switzerland as a sub
stitute for coffee In Japan and south
ern Russia the soy bean is prepared as a
coffee substitute and placed on the mar
ket This product is ground very fine
and has much the same appearance as
coffee
For those who desire a substitute for
coffee as a drink, the dry beans of any
/ variety of soy bean, when properly roast
ed and prepared may be used Prepared
as coffee, the soy bean gives a liquid
which in color and aroma is similar to
coffee. but has no stimulating effect.
i Many people fond of ceral drinks think
the soy bean coffee fully equal to the
cereal coffee substitutes.
The use of the jack bean for NEAR"
coffee is not a new thing, and its merit
| for this purpose is no greater than that
of many other beans For forage, the
/ jack bean is not equal to the soy bean,
velvet bean. or cowpea. and thus far it
has not shown that it is of any particular
! value in American agriculture.-Bu rling
