Bruner Seriotisnes; in the situation with regard to the schools and the effect the closing made' necessary because of the epedemic of influenza does not lie wholly in the fact that the schools are closed for two months or so. Of course that time is lost to the pupils and to the common wealth in so far as the message and training the schools could give $3 . 00 to the pupils is concerned; that los; 1.00 can nover be entirely overcome. We 1,00 must accept the fact. But at the 1.00 same time, the epedemic has cause 3 . 00 a, loss in the business world. Not 3 . 00 a busins; man but will say at once 2.00 that his business has suffered be. - 3 . 00 cause of the influenza. The entire 2 . 00 business and recreational life of the 3 . 00 country is stagnated and must right 2 . 00 itself when the scourage of the in - 1,00 fluenza is past. 2 . 00 But the really serious thing in 3 . 00 connection with the school situation 2 . 00 lies in the fact that this closing down 1 . 00 - nay be the point of departure from 2 . 00 school of many of our boys and girls 2 . 00 There are pupils in every community 1,00 who will look upon this shut -down 1 . 00 of the school as a break in their 2 . 00 school. There are puupils in every 5 . 00 community who under ordinary cin- 2 . 00 cumstances can be kept at their stud. 2.00 ies only by great effort and a consid- 1 . 00 erable sacrifice on the part of their 1.00 parents. Some of these pupils want 1 . 00 to get into business, to go to work . 50 and earn money, others think of the 1 . 00 difficulty they had in maintaining 1 . 00 their standing in school when they 1 . 00 were going every day, and wonder ii 1 . 00 they can ever get started again. TIley 1 . 00 ar likely at this time to so map - 3 . 00 nify the difficulties and yield to their 1 . 00 hscouragements caused , by the clos- 1 . 00 ;•ig of the school and. to convince 1 . 00 themselves that they cannot affmd 1 . 00 to resume their school work again. 1.00 Sonic pupils have secured work and 1 . 00 are earning money, these will bv re - 1.00 instant to quit the job and return to . 1 . 00 school, not realizing that the school cireer end, too soon, and very ab- $69 . 50 ruptly for the most of us. As loon as the situation regard- ing the influenza, will permit it, the schools will reSetnd work. They will endeavor to 40 regulate and eon - duct the courses as to reduce the loss caused by the closing to the medium. The work will be speeded up, without increasing the daily load of the pupil unduly: The holiday vacation will be dispensed with, and school may be held on Saturdays for a few weeks. This, with the systematic home study that many of the students are pursuing during the shut -down, will bring the schckils out with as little distress front the epedemic as possible. It should be the duty of all per- sons at this time to encourage the pupils, particularly those in the up- per grades and the -high schools, to keep their progres. in school tipper, most in their minds. The boys of fourteen can hardly be expected to judge values as can the adult. To him a quarter is more valuable, will certainly be. more pleasure on the market than a day in school. Ile must be encouraged to take the shut- down as a handicap that can only be relieved by more diligent work in 'school and not in any sense a reason for giving up his school career.

Discovered Method of Condensing Buttermilk and Retaining Nutritive Value. In a recent interview with Dr. Wil- liam Greick of St. Pant Minn., the fact was brought out that immense quantities of buttermilk have been wasted. Doctor Grsick is • member of the American (Menneni society and for years has devoted much study to the milk problem. As a result a his efforts n method has been discovered for condensing buttermilk into a semi- solid smooth trubstance of the consist- ency of ice comma. All the nutritive value of the but- termilk is conserved in this product, and It Is especially suitable for use in bread making. From eigt to ten pounds of this material when added to a barrel of flour produce n loaf of greater food value. The milk predein helps to make up the deficiency in our preteent-day flour substitutes. The vitamines of the butterfat help to de- fine the structure of the bread, besides producing tin agreeable milk flavor; rind the sugar of milk, PSI& from be- ing of great food teethe, when com- bined with the dextrin in flour makes mu fine bripen crust at a comparatively low baking temperature. It staves fuel and prevents unnecessary lose 0* moisture. SEE NEED OF CITY PLANNING Japanese Municipal Authorities Awake to Dangers Connected With Con- gested Centers of Population. The expansion of Jap- anese cities dt lag the last few years has accentuated the urgent necessity of city planning. With this end In view a conference of the mayors of the leading Japanese cities has oc- curred at Tokyo. Among those present were lime mayors of Osaka, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto and Kobe, while Tokyo municipality was represented by Messrs. Kabashlma and Ogino. \In Tokyo, city planning was set on foot twenty years ago, about the same time the question of city planning was receiving attention in Europe and America,\ said Doctor Seki, mayor of Osaka, in an interview with a Tokyo Yominri representative. \In Osaka. however,' it Is only a few years since the problem began to claim serious at- tention, although the necessity of city planning In Osaka is perhaps more ur- gent than In other cities. The density of population In Osaka is certainly greater than in other places and Im- provement in sanitary and other mat- ters is urgently needed. It is esti- mated that the population of Osaka twenty years hence will be 2.6n0,000 and that of the two neighboring dis- tricts 2,300.000. making a total of 5,- 000,000. This estimate is based on the present rate of Increase. but It Is pos- sible the rate of Increase may be larger. Herein lies the urgent nature . . of city planning for Osaka.\ Confession era Teacher of German. I began bravely this difficult work of teaching German since 1914, by the hypothesis that the hest in Teutonic literature Is • revolt against this very militarism we ore now flghtIng, and for a time I deluded myself with the great gene, that could be accomplished by emphasizing this in such men as Schiller.

EXPLOkR'S WORK IN AFRICA Frenchman Sheds Light on Vast Re- gion Hitherto Comparatively Lin - Known -Needs Railway. Commandant TIlho, the well-known French explorer e the Sudan, has re- cently published a report on the re- sults of five years' work during 1912-17 in the hitherto unknown region lying Hong' the frontier between the French Sahara end the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. 'ITho was enlrUqrSi with the task or pec!fylne red organizing this region under the rienell government; and his surreys embrace a stretch of previous- ly enexplored country extending more than 1,100 miles from the center of Tibeeti southeast to the vicipitY of El Frother, in Darfur. His enetographic work fills up a large blank in the map of Africa. He urges the need of a raliwny through this region, for the benefit not only of the world at large. hut also of the natives, who are sub- ject to perIo4tcjJnmines. It is stated that from on alf to three -fourths ce the Inhnhit ts of northern Wadal died of fardinein 1914.
