INCUS AND AZTEGS

ORIGINATE TG1T Natives of Peru and Mexico Begin Use of Plant for Edible Purpses. Kxcoptint? our scientists, there are comparatively few people in this country who eer stop to think f how many important products that now minister to the health, .sustenance, and pleasures of mankind were added to the world's supply ly the discovery of America. A few of these are incidentally mentioned in an interesting article on "The Tomato." in the curtent numher of The ihiliethi of the j'an American I'nii'ii hy lMward Alhe.s, who writes: 'Thf greatest fehrifmro known today quinine came into existence hecau.se the Imas of l'err.e had discovered the medicinal properties of the hark of the cinchona tree; the leaves of the coca plant, a South American product, have served to alleviate pain the world over hy their essence cocnlne; Indian corn, or maY.e. was unknown to the Old World lf fore it was found to he the i;rcat food staph- of the Americas; Irish as well as sweet potatoes had their first home in the iipw world; tlie delicious concoction known as chocolate. sirin man as both food and drink, had heen known for centuries hy the Ineas of Peru and the Aztecs of Mexico Lofore the Spaniards found it in these countries and Introduced It into Kurope; tohacco, whose ring's and aromatic smoke now rircumscrihe the earth, was added to man's pleasures hy the Indians of Anurica.

IUUK LHUltt 1UMUKkuw all uai . . . .i.uu commonly regarded as unhealthy and even poinosous. This belief probably arose because of the close rescmhlanee (cf the plant to its allied relative the nightshade, or belladonna, and had, of course, no foundation in fact. It was not until the early part of the luth century that the tomato came into general use as a food in northern Kurope and even in the United States. Since about IS.",,"., however, the use and cultivation of the vegetable has pmwn to such an extent that it has now hecome one of the most important of our garden crops. Canning lcdop Industry. When a successful process of canning the fruit was evolved the tomato Industry at once asum Ml Uirge proportions. It was found that for all cooking purposes the canned fruit was as sTood as that fresh from the vine, and as a result the tomato has become a staple food the year round, and millions of dollars are now invested in canning factories in the United States, whose chief output consists of tomatoes. "nun statistics compiled by the National Tanners' association i'or the year It'll it is learned that amonK the tomato producing states Maryyland ranked tirst with a production of .", S.'O, c('i cases of canned tomatoes: Delaware second, with 1. HOu cases; Indiana third with l.L'Or.,000 cas.-s. The total production for the whole country amounted to 1 ."...-.nno cases of tomatoes ami about .".UiKi.OOUcase.s of tomato pulp, (used in making catsup, sauces, soups, etc.) The total was therefore over 2000,000 eases of 1M. two-pound cans each, or an output of I S O.oOO.O 00 cans, wcihin 40.000 tons, and having an approximate value of S2s.ooO.ooO. If these cans were placed one on top of the other, the resulting column would very marly T.T.Ouo miles high, or if placed end to end in a row would encircle the earth one and a half times at the equator. These figures deal only with the canned product of factories keeping accurate statistics. When wo rememher that perhaps twice as many more are eaten raw and canned by the thrifty housewives ami Ctirls Canning clubs, we may wet some idea of the importance in our national economy of the garden tomato.

GH SCHOOLS OF COUNTRY Gil IE Report Shows There Are 22,000,000 People 'Attending Institutions. My Victor Klllott. WASHINGTON, An:;. ::. Twentytwo million persons were enrolled in educational institutions in the United States in 1!U4, according to the annual reports of the commissioner of education, just issued. Nineteen million of these were in elementary schools; l.::T4.000 in secondary schools, both in public and private: and 2 10. 000 in colleges and unive-sities. Close to another 100.000 were in normal schools preparing to be teachers. GT.c.oo were in professional schools and the remainder were scattered through other type' of institutions. The teachers for this educational army numbered 700, ooo of whom 5 j . -000 were in public schools. In point of rapid prowth the public hieh school still presents the most impressive ti'urcs. the enrollment In UJ14 showing S 4 00 0 more than in 191 ::. 'even hundred and fifty million dollars was the cost df education for the year, according to an estimate made b the bureau of education. On this point the report says: "This three-iiua r ters of a h'llion is a relatively small amount when compared with other items in the public expense. 'It is less by $:h"h.noo.00o than the cost of running the federal government: it is less than one-third of the nation's expenditure for alcoholic licpiors; it is only a little over three tinier the estimated cost of admissions to moving picture theaters in the United States for the same years. (Ircater Than Cotton Crop. Measured in terms of products cf the soil, the United States spent somewhat more for education in li14 than the value of its cotton crop, somewhat less than the value of its wheat crop, and less than half the value of the annual harvest of corn: while the nation's bill for education was less by nearly a hundred million than the value of the exports from the harbor of New York in the calendar year just passed." Very little increase js et to 1 noted in the average term for public schools. I let worn 1:,1.A anl 101" the increase was from 1 .", 7 . " days a year to l.'s.l a prowth of only s:-tenth of a day in t hree ye irs. Attendance pas improved, however. The avrare number of days attended by each person enrolled increased from tl:: in r.lo to 11. Vi in I'M".
