It tells us what we ought todo. Attainments without ethical guidance may make a scien- tific savage of an accomplished rascal, but they will not make a worthy human being, for ethics is to education what the guiding brain is to blind force—the applying power without which force becomes a demon of destruction. Professor Stillman followed Miss Sever- ance with a paper on *‘Personal Hyziene." This, he said, was a department of knowl- edge that relates to the improvement of the health of the individual. In his opinion, health is the conaition of a hu- man body which is sound and able to re- | alize the best and fullest life possible. Life, said he, is more than mere animal existence, and personal hygiene is con- cerned with the physical basis of life, be- health ot mind and morals and ethics depends upon the physical orzanic conditions. The human body is the most delicate mechanism ever created and it has the capacity for the storage and expression of energy, which in its highest form we see in thought and action. It is the duty of every person to understand the nature and laws of the human body, so that health may be at- tained and conserved and the power of life used to greatest advantage.” Thisconc uded the morning programme, but by special request a paper written by Miss Jane M. Slocam of the Niesor Acad- emy, ldaho, on the ‘‘Place of Social Economics in Education” was read by Mrs. J. H. Dickinson. In substance it | was as follows: In considering the place of social economics in education, terms must be used in their broadest sense. Strictly speaking we under- stand by education the drawing out or develop- ing of the mental powers; and in our primary and secondary schools studies are selected 0ely with this end in view while the college curriculum is dete ¢d much in the same way. The famous o university oi Bologna still delights © and eminent class of women professors who ranked with the century, and lcctured not only on art, litera- ture and philosopuy, but also on anatomy and jurisprudence, when all the world sought ihis ancient seat of learning for its pre-emi- nce in law and medicine. Rev. C. W. Wendte opened the after- session with a most instructive ad- dress on “Education and Morality; or, Do o Mr. Wendte said it was commonly as- sumed by liberal-minded persons that to make man intelligent wes to make them better and havpier. Therefore, to make a community moral you musteducate it. honor the memory of a large | holars of tne seventeenth | thatof the radical. By virtue of the trans- mission of knowiedge through books we are spared the costly road of exper.ence. Therefore the selection of that knowledge— that is, the books which are the meaus of that transmission—is of paramount importance. In the words of Tennyson, ‘Let knowledge grow from more 0 more,” I cannot grow %o much. It isa stupendous proposition to begin with. We begin with the knowledge of the world beneath our feet, and must absorb it. It isnot the knowledge of one generation but the gonerations of the world ever since we huve known it. In books we live for higher and higher efforts. Mme. Mountford of Jerusalem wasnext introduced. She said she would speak to the congress as an Oriental, and as such would boldly say that no nation can ever rice above the level of its women and live. Woman has not had her proper place in the world, and that, she said, Was why many nations fail “Why,” asked the lady, “are Turkey and Greece fighting now? Why are they butchering each other? I can tell you: It is because our Oriental men cannot rise above the level of their women., The Turkish mother when she is nursing her child calls 1ts_attention to the passing Christis end tells it—she instills into it—that it must hate ti Christian. It must hate him because he believes in three gods—hate him asa common enemy., Then the so-called Christian mother of the East is even worse in this regard than the Turkish mother. 8he wh child—forgetting the vital teachings of her own creed—that he must hate that | Turk because he believes in a false prophet.” Mme. Mountford’s remarks made a deep impression, and the applause that fol- lowed her closing sentence continued for several minutes. | Rev. Charles L. Miel of Sacramento read a paper on “Ethical Teaching in the Public Schools.”” The reverend gentle- man said sociely was made up of three | important component paris—family, na- tion and ehurch. Education and relizion, he said, could | not be_ divorced any more taan this trin- ity could be divided. Education’s hymn is “Nearer, My God, to Thee.”’ The Christian church is the founder of the ublic schools of the United States. Moral training is the crowning effort to be achieved in education. There is not enough ot this in the public schools of to-day. A study of geomeiry will not make a ‘‘square” man; neither will geog- raphy teach him where to go with safety through this life. The speaker put him- self on record as being emphatically op- posed to the exclusion of religious train- ing in the public schools. It was one of the greatest blunders, he said, the state could bave made. The separation of church and state, he said, does not mean the separation of state ana God. The present system in the schools was practically the teaching of atheism, he declared. The tittle tinct- ure of religion and ideas of God-loving that the child received at the Sunday- schools, which could be attended but once a week, was a proposition to be compared only to the pourineg of a thimbleful of whisky into Lake Superior and then in viting the whole worid to come and drink and be merry. A lady in the gallery aroused great en- PURE FOOD THE TH THE DAY Sturdy Citizens Denounce the Frauds of Trades- men. A CRUSADE FOR HONOR IN BUSINESS. Reports Show That Commerce Is Honeycombed With Fraud and Deceit. STRINGENT LAWS DEMANDED BY ALL. The Good Name of the State Is Trailed in th: Dust by Deieterious Adulterations of Fooi. Hall yesterday was largely attended and many able papers were read on various phases of the subject. There was much vim and determination among the country delegates, who were a unit in favor of stringent measures against dealers who adulterated and sell aduiter- ated foods. President J. W. Kerr of the Manufac- turers’ and Producers’ Association made a stirring opening address. He urged common object of securing pure food and suggested that it would require thorough organization to overcome the stubborn pposition of shopkeepers who are not honest. Among other things the speaker said: California can meet hones: competition, but we cannot fight the producers of spurious goods, of convict-made wares and of danger- ous adulterations. But when our enemics without, alded by traitors within, pour within our borders goods which never paid_the price of honest toil—prison products which t dare not market in the States in which they | are made; when our food-producers snd food- growers are asked to compete with jellies in which the juice of the irult forms 10 part— honeys which contain but 5 per cent of pure article; when merchants, honorable and sbovo reproach, complain that to such an ex tent have these curious and in many in- stances poisonous products been forced pon an unsuspicious people that they have been compelled to carry them in stock or go out of business—then we feel justified in invoking the strong arm of the law—then we felt 1t was our duiy to call you from the quiet of your comfortable homes that you might aid us in this battle sgainst a species of commercial factory and from farm, which was threatening with & blight those homes which you nave left, and threatening the procperity of our people and encouraging the survival of the most unscrupulous, Professor John Swett made an ex- temporaneous address that pleased the audience. He said he had found great im- The Pure Food Congress at Pioneer | united action between producers for the | | French MAY 1, 1897, and aatopsied 558, or 13} per cent. Every one, with possibly 10 exceptions, were shown oy the autopsies to be tuberculous. In about three months more the whole of the 7000 head of cattle in Santa Clara County will have been inspected officially. Now what is the result from u sanitary and monetary standpoint? At a low estimate 450 of these cows gave three gallons of milk per day, and_by their destruc- tion _the consumption of 1350 galions of dis- eased milk daily has been stopped. In addi- tion to this constant inspections as to other adulterations are carefully made, and dairies and barns inspected and no means left untried to enforce the proper feeding, housing and handling of cattle. Dr. J. C. Spencer, City Bacteriologist, followed with an address on “Milk.” "He said the average milk, while full of mi- crobes, is not so badly infested with ma- lignant germs as some people imagine. He advocated the pasteurization of milk at public stations by submitting it toa 'i:mperalure of about 180 degrees Fahren- eit. Ellwood Cooper of Santa Burbara deliv- ered an interesting address on the adul- teration of olive oil, showing that it is tampered with more than anything ex- cept vinegar. ‘‘Less than 34 per cent of what is sold is pure”’ he said, ‘‘being made of coltolene, lard, cotton-seed oil and other like deleterious ingredients of an indigestible and even dangerous char- acter.” He concluded by saying that the man who brands adulterations as Califor- nia-made goods is a traitor to the State. B. M. Lelong of the State Board of Horticulture made even more startling statements about olive oil. He said: Out of forty brands of olive ofl which I sx- amined a few years ago .in this market, I found but three pure samples, and most of the brands had less than 3 per cent of olive oil. 1iound 117 samples labeled, “California olive oil,” and there was no olive oil in any of them. A doctor told me he believed that more than 500 persons had been killed by adulterated oil con taining sulphuric acid and cotton-seed oil. Even the imported oils are often bad, and the oils here are often sold at less han the cost of production of the genuine article. State Chemist W. B. Rising of Berkeley read an interesting paper, wherein he held that it 1s the duty of the State to pro- tect the people against the adulteration of food. He said: Adulterations destroy legitimate business and undermine the health of tne people. We | are a food-producing State, and it ought to te | the ambition of every loyal Californian to see | that the quality of our product is as good as its variety and quantity, otherwise millions of dollars in demage will te done to the State by | the producers ol spurious goods. Butter, olive | oil and other staple products haye earned | their standing end name through long years | of service, and the man who counterfeits them | ought to suffer. | A. Sbarboro delivered address on | wines which was heard with marked at- tention. Among other things he said: On account of the abundance of our juicy grapes, wine is rarely adulterated in Califor- nia, but our great competitors are the five- story vinevards in the city of New York, here it 1s well known that large quantities of wine are manufactured withouta dropof | the juice of the grape, and what is worse still, while our Catifornia’ wines are sold under labels, the spurfous articles artifi- 15 produced are labeled California wines. 10_must be stopped, and I would | offer the following resolution for | isideration of the committee on resolu- piracy which was driving out our people irom | 5 ““Resolved, That our rerresentatives in Con- gress be requested to use all honest means to have passed by Congress a pure food law, in- cluding in the same the prohibition of adul- phistication of wines.” Let the officers of the Board of Health con- tinue their meritorious work, and then we mav again sit at tabie with our families and enjoy | the blessing of a good meal, made entirely of | pure focd, which blessing will be due to”the model Board of Health of San Francisco, to whom is due our most grateful thanks. Professor Emory E. Smith of Stanford read an able paper on ‘“Pure Food Educa- ying in part: Educational ¢ffort must be made chiefly in two directions. ommercial for more immedi- ate results and stholastic for ultimate success. Commercial conscience is largely a matter i competition, environment and trade cus- tom, and can only be successfully dealt with by law and public senhiment.

Second—We adopt as a definition of adulteration the language of the statute of California, approved March 26, 1895, which is as follows: Any article shall be deemed to be adulterated within the meaning of this act: (a) In the case of drugs: (1) If, when sold under orby aname recognized in the “United States Phar- ‘macopceia, ” 1t differs from the standard of strength, quality or puricy laid dow: therefn. (2) If, when sold under or by & name not recognized In the “United States Pharmacopeia,” but whicn is found In some other pharmaco| Gela or other stan- dard work on materia medica, it differs materially from the standard of strength, quality or purity laid down in such work.
