CONDITION IN THE JAIL BETTER ™ IN SCHOOL With Country Schools Usually Being In a Rundown Condition, They Make Little Appeal to Either Pupil or Teacher Washington, Nov. 13.—One farmer with a cheap automobile has more in vested in that one piece of mechanism tllan the average rural community as a whole has in its school plant; and the owner of the auto frequently spends as much on the upkeep of hiij one car as the community spends for tlie totil maintenance of the school, including the teachoi s salary. This is one of a ntimber of significant compari cins brought out by .W. F. Feagin. state Superintendent of Education for \labauia, in a survey reported to the I'nired State- Bureau of Education. To illustrate farther the plight of i ■ s. liuols. Superintendent Feagin -itou- a dilapidated rural school in • ontrast with the handsomely con .•traded jail in the same county, cost ing several thousand dollars. "This jail.'' he says, "has sanitary drinking fountains, shower baths, clean floors. Bentv of light, good ventilation and is otherwise attractive. Could a person from this district in which this school is located be 'blamed for preferring the' in i I" Naturally country schools make lit tle appeal either to pupils or teachers, under existing conditions. Pupils drop out and teachers move. Out of 5,423 pupils entering the first grade in the schools inspected in the Alabama sur vey only 60 completed the work of the fourth year of the high school. Of the teachers, 76 per cent, are holding their present positions for the first time. Of the remainder. 18 per cent, are teaching their second session in their first school, and only 19 per cent, have stayed more than two years in the same place. The Alabama survey was an attempt to provide a definite background on facts on which to base a campaign for improvement. The controlling purpose of the investigation was not to estab lish an opinion or theory, but to find out the truth. The survey was not made by outside specialists imported for the occasion, but by regular of ficials of the State education depart ment, who selected three typi&al coun ties and personally visited the schools. The results will be used for definite improvement in the schools of the State. "The conditions found are by no means peculiar to Alabama," declares T)r. Glaxton, United States Commis sioner of Education. "They can be duplicated anywhere. In Tennessee a few years ago, for instance, inquiry revealed that in several counties the cost of the county jail was greater than the total cost of all the school houses in the county, and in more than half the counties of the State the cost of court house and jail together was greater than that of all the school houses, while in a majority of the counties the average annual salary of the teacher was less than the cost of feeding a prisoner in jail. "This Alabama survey is conspicu ous 'because it is a carefully drawn picture of the traditional public indif ference to the problem of adequate support for schools in rural communi ties. We still spend much more for luxuries —even harmful luxuries—than we do for education. Until a communi ty spends at least as much for educa tion as it does for anv on eof the ma terial necessities of fife— food, cloth ing and shelter—it is not doing its full duty," Kst .Jh H*j[; Jur Trade-Mark No. ti Protected by L'.

HUMAN HEALIH AND THE , FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE The Danger of Contaminated Milk ' Spreading the Disease Overcome by r Quarantine and Pasteurization— ' Reports Reearded as Exaggerated r Washington, D. C„ Nov. 13.—The | anxiety that has been expressed in sev i , eral quarters in regard to the effeci !' U P°" human health of the present out . break of the foot aud mouth disease is gj regarded bv government authorities as r! somewhat exaggerated. The most com , mon tear is rha' the milk supply might s become contaminated, but in view of - the precautions that the local authori . ties in the infected areas are very r generally taking there is comparatively 8 f„ l e A f S " °- f this ' Milk ,n;m in I rected farms is not permitted to be t shipped at all. The onlv danger is. i jtherefore, tha before the disease has i manifested itself some infected milk j might reacih the market. For this rea son experts in the United States De s partment of Agriculture recommend ; pasteurization. As a matter of fact however, pasteurization is recommended' I by the department, anyway for all milk 'j that is not very high grkde and from lj tuberculin tested cows. It has been demonstrated by experi ments which have been made in Den mark and Germany that pasteurization , j will serve a- a safeguard against eon > tagion trom the loot and mouth disease > I just as readily as it does against tv s i phoid fever, but in any event it must -| be thoroughly done—the milk must be t; | heated to 145 degrees Fahrenheit and held at this temperature for 30 min J I utes; tj In this country the foot and mouth • | disease has been so rare that there 1 , are few recorded cases of its traits • I mission to human beings. I u 1902 a ' | few cases were reported iu New En | and, and in 1908 in a few instances I e ™£ tlons were found in the mouths of 1 j children which were believed to have r | been caused bv contaminated milk. I In both of these outbreaks the sale of - milk was stopped as soon as tilie disease I was found among the cattle. As long i therefore, as the disease can be cou i fined by rigid quarantine to certain • | specified areas the danger from this -1 source is very small. Should the pest- J ilcnce spread all over this countrv and ■ become as general as it has been at , I v 'arious times in large areas in Europe, | the porbleni would become more serious. | I nder any circumstances, however 1 pasteurization would be an efficient j remedy. Where pasteurization is not , j Possible, and where there is any reason to suspect that the disease mav exist, , t'he precaution of boiling milk might ' he advisable. Simple directions for pasteurizing milk at home, however, [ are contained in Circular 127, which ) will be sent free on application to the Unuted States Department of Agricul ture. 1 » Hopeful views are mainly based on easier money, the increasing foreign | trade balance, and the belief that rail j toad buying will soon expand with ail j increase in freight rates. The announcement that Great. Britain I had forbidden ferroinangaivese exports to this country comes this week with apparent authority. Last week such action was both aftirmeij and denied. Our London cable says that concessions may be made if proper guarantees are given against re-exports from the Unit ed States. The small re-sales reporte I here, though to neutral countries, have i been made much of in Great Britain, as ! it was charged some of thp metal wasj going into Germany. It is one sign of the present low rate of steel production that this action of the British Government lias caused | no flurry in this market, it is to be I considered also that as British makers of ferronianganese work off their low priced American contracts they will not readily give up the profits to be had under prevailing war prices. Prices of finished steel products have naturally settled, but until larger busi t ness appears the low levels of late 1911 I are not to be expected. Piates have j sold as low' as 1.U5c., Pittsburgh, and a delivered price of 1.25 c. on plates J and shapes at Milwaukee and Chicago i has been common. Bars have shown less j weakness, but 1.10 c.. Pittsburgh, has | been done on a particularly good or der. A round lot of reinforcing bars in ! Eastern territory started some cutting. The Boston store addition at Chiea | yo, 4,000 tons, is the largest structural ' order. At Cleveland bids were taken on : 1,000 tons for new coke and ore bins, ■ and various railroad lettings in the | East and Central West amouut to 2,000 tons. A larger ear movement in the West, j due to increased graiu exports, has re | vived expectations of car orders, and i the necessities of the Harriman and the ; Bock Island lines are put at a total of 40,000. Chicago reports a 15,000-ton ' inquiry for tie plates and in spikes and bolts several large lots are to be 1 bought. Kail output is just now at the I lowest rate in years* j Foreign orders for various products ! lor war purposes are smaller, though a ! good part of France's inquiry for 27,- : 000 tons of steel, much of it bars for | shrapnel, is yet to be placed. The tin plate basis for next year's | contracts may soon be fixed by actual I transactions. Consumers have talked $3.25, Pittsburgh. The largest con | tracts have generally gone at a sc. to ; 10c. concession from the usual market I price. Domestic mills have taken an or der for 35,000 boxes for .lapan in com j petition with Wales. I Tile recent contract placed by gas | interests with the leading producer for 1 j (> in. to 12-in. pipe was for 85 miles, ! instead of tiO miles, as first announced. | For Waco, Texas, an order has been . | given for 30 miles of 10-in. pipe and " ; a Hamilton, Ontario, inquiry is for 25 miles of 6 to 12-in. pipe, j Pig iron buying for the first quarter I and first half of 1915 has brought out I further concessions in some districts, , j notably Chicago, where $12.50 at fur , nace for No. 2 is now reported. South ern iron has sold at $lO far the entire | first half. A British user of hematite : I iron has offered the equivalent of $14.60 at seaboard, this side, for 3,000 jto 4,000 tous a month. With a phos ! phorus limit of 0.05 per cent, tbe busi j ness is far from being attractive.
