AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK


approximately 1000 communities
took an active part in the observation
Of American Education Week for
1894. The 1885 goal of participa-
ion in this national unity of school
md public is ten million, which is a
figure conservative enough when one
considers the great economic and So
,ial values of our public schools.
The number OF participants-par
md other public-spirited citizens
will undoubtedly continue to increase
zach year, as the importance of pub
ic education to democratic institu-
ions impresses itself upon the minds
IF the people.
Last year, forty governors issued
American Education Week procla-
nations, calling upon citizens to visit
he schools and identify themselves
With the exercises taking place in the
schools during that week.
Each year, the social advancement
BEARS more and more heavily upon
he shoulders of the classroom teach
rs and upon the public school ad-
illustrators.

)erience, the cause and effect of

Striking back for the first time at

Administration has launched a sweep

The hope in Democratic political
quarters is that the study will show
present high and rising food prices
due not to the administrat ton efforts
to increase farm prices, but rather tc
an excessive spread between what the
consumer pays and what the farmer
receives. Congress authorized the

Y CLUBS INSPECT
DIAMOND COMPAN
Mysteries of Bottling Bev-
erages Explained By
Mulligan, DOherty

At $3.50 this morning group
of over forty excited, enthusiastic
boys left the boys department of
the Central Y. M. C. A. for a visit
to the Diamond Bottling Works on
South Main street. The boys were
greeted by Joseph Doherty and
John Mulligan, of the Diamond
Ginger Ale company, and taken
through the plant. The mysteries
of bottling beverages were unfold
ed as the boys gazed in wonder at
the processes from cleaning bottles
to refilling, Gaping and labelling.
They. were particularly fascinated
by the long lengths of carrier
belts and rollers which convey the
various articles to and from the
machines.
The boys were delighted with
the reception given to them, and
particularly with the treat at the
end of the visit, which consisted of
all the ginger ale they could drink,
with the compliments of the Dia-
mond Bottling company. James
Dempsey, and Paul Gangloff were
the adult leaders of the group.
Henry Ellis, Y secretary, an
nounced that there will be a trip
of this nature to other factories
and places of interest each week
throughout the summer. The trips
are followed by a cooling dip in

Government Outlay
To Be Increased

What will make a difference
will be government spending.
! Spending in the first half of 1885
was much less than in the first
half of 1894. This situation will
probably change in the coming six
months and, doubtless, throughout
next year.
This important fact must be
kept in mind. The President re-
Gently obtained by congressional
appropriation $4,400.000,000 for
a great relief and public works
campaign. Up to now practically
none of this money has been
spent. In fact the President has
left from last years appropriations
and still unspent at least billion
dollars-perhaps more. He has,
therefore, very nearly six billion
dollars which he can spend before
the end of June, 1885, If he sees
fit. AS this is twice as much al
most as he has spent on emergen-
cy purposes in either of his two
years thus far it will be seen that
he is powerfully armed to give to
business via the government
spending route whatever shot is
necessary to keep it moving.
The government has been max
ing some effort to change over
from a relief program to a works
program. This has delayed an
extensive outlay under the new
plan. But we may assume that it
will bein full working order by
next fall. If it is, it will be sure to
fatten business somewhat.

Bankers Expect
Borrowing to Gain

A great deal of reliance is
placed by many business men on
the mounting reserves in the
banks. Bankers have now vast
funds to lend. They are certainly
eager to lend them. Some bank
ers think the jam cannot go on
forever and that presently borrow
ers will begin to turn up. If this
happens 1t must come from one
or all of three sources:
l, Replacement in industry.
Factories have been wearing out
their machines. Even machines
standing still grow old and worth
lesN. There must be many fac
tories in need of new machinery.
The moment must come when OBJ
solescence must be repaired. Has
that time come yet?
2. Under the MIRA many in
dustries made it difficult for
manufacturers to buy new machin-
airy. This was part of the plan
TO restrict production. That is
past. Perhaps it will release some
machinery-buying energy.
3. The other source of borrow
ing may be on real estate. The
new banking bill, so bitterly
fought by Senator Glass, has a
provision permitting national
banks to lend up to rs per cent
of the value of property on 90
year terms amortized. This has
been included at the request of
the smaller banks. 1t may make
money easier for house and store

NEW YORK, July 3 -
II Standing at this halfway
house of the year-what can
we see ahead for business?
In appraising the past we find
business trends strongly influenced
by the performances of the capital
goods Industries, foreign trade and
government spending.
Foreign trade we may eliminate
as a factor in shaping our own
economic life IN the immediate flu
ture. This leaves public spending
and private heavy goods industries
to be included.
There is no force apparent now
which would justify us in suppos-
ing that business would be more
brisk for the balance of the sum-
mer than it has been. There is
just one possibility. That is that
many building plans projected last
winter and little slow in getting
under way may now be pushed
with energy. But there are not
enough such plans to give US much
hope in that direction. However,
summer recession would he a
more or less natural thing. There
is. however, every reason to be-
lieve that business will resume it's
activity with the coming of fall.
The chief reason for this is to be
found in the governments plans.
