8 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 20. 1907. For Two Days Only Monday and Tuesday we offer the choice of any $20.00 Suit in the house for SCHOOL OF MUSIC CROWDED 1 University of Oregon Department Attracts Many Students i - jjy ' i i ,r?rr J I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Oct. 19. (Special.) The school of music of the University of Oregon Is enjoying at the present time the most prosperous year In its history. All of the departments are crowded to their limit and several more assistants are needed and would be provided were It not for the scarcity of funds in the university treasury. Of course the increase in the number of musical students goes directly hand in hand with, the Increased number of stu dents in all other departments of the university, but the principal reason for the remarkable growth of this important part of the university lies in the fact that artists of the highest degree have been called to the heads of this department and on this account the school of music has become more popular tli-"i irer. . . Katherlne AVard Pope, the . .-ad of the vocal department of the University of Oregon school of music; is a native Ore gonlan and was born near. Portland. She rlrst began her musical studies with Mrs. Walter Reed of that city. When Mrs. Pope came- to have more- than local prominence, " she decided to go East for further Instruction. New York was her goal and here she studied under Victor NEW YORK CITY CAREFULLY GUARDS ITS MILK SUPPLY rmO fthow that I am not alone In I this matter of milk inspec- tlon, I want to call attention to what Is being done In New York City," said Dr. W. I. Cotiel yesterday. 'Th following is an extract from an able paper on this subject by Dr. Darlington, one of the leading authori ties In this country, and recently pub lished in the Journal of the American Medical Association." The article Dr. Cottel refers to follows: Large and well-planned refrigerator cars fcave ben added to the milk service. All of the rallroada are erecting or have erected Icehouses, of great capacity In order that they may supply their shippers with a suf ficient quantity of Ice to carry them through the warm- and critical, months of the year. As a result milk Is now transported under excellent conditions and the required maxi mum temperature of 0 F. Is almost uni versally maintained. As It Is a well-known fact that In milk kept at or below this temperature bacteria multiply slowly, if at all, particular stress Is laid on this point. At the -depots or receiving stations In the city Inspectors are at hand to watch the milk as It arrives. If there Is any ques tion as to the proper Icing of the cans a thermometer Is used and all milk found to be above SO degrees Farenheit Is promptly condemned and destroyed. In New York City there are 14.107 dealers holding permits for the sale of milk. When an application for a permit Is made a copy of rules and regulations Is handed to the applicant and he Is Instructed that unless the conditions under which he proposes to sell milk conform to these regulations his permit to sell milk will be dialed. After the application has been received an Inspection Is made of the premises by an Inspector of the department. If the premises and condl- Harris, the greatest musical coach in America and under Karl Breneman, the celebrated voice builder. Mrs. Pope has takert part in many im portant programmes throughout the Northwest. She continues to study voice under Mrs. Walter Reed and says that In her opinion Mrs. Reed has no peer in America among artists having voices similar to her own. Mrs. Stephanie Schuecker,' head of the piano department of the school of music. Is also a native Oregonian and was born In Southwestern Oregon, near the City of Marshfleld. She has been absent from her native state since her youth. Mrs. Schuecker first commenced her studies In piano as a little girl, with Professor Cooke, of Portland. From here she went to Victoria, B. C, where she entered a convent and at this place learned the fundamentals of piano and also learned to play the harp. After leaving the convent, Mrs. Schuecker went to Spokane, Wash.,, where she pursued her studies for a time under Professor Albert Venino. Mrs. Schuecker then entered the New England Conservatory, of Boston, where she broadened her lines of musical knowl edge and acquired her principal education In these pursuits. Here she studied under many famous professors: Theory and musical history under Professor Louis C. tlons are found to be suitable the permit Is granted. The city Is divided Into districts, each In charge of an Inspector. The latter makes frequent relnepectlons of all places where milk la sold and he is held resDonslble for the conditions in his district. At each In spection sanitary conditions are noted, the milk 1 Inspected and tested for temperature and possible adulteration. In case the latter is suspected samples are taken and sent to the laboratories of the department for analysis. Doubtful speclmenes are subject ed to bacterial count. If the milk is above the proper temperature It Is promptly con fiscated. If It proves to be adulterated a warrant is obtained for the arrest of the dealer. The usual procedure In such rases Is for the magistrate to hold the defendant for trial In the Court of Special Sessions. Convictions usually result in a fine and 'at the second o (Tense the department revokes the dealer's permit. 1 During 190 130.871 Inspections and reln spections Were made in the city. 138,503 specimens of milk were examined. 41.305 quarts of milk were destroyed, 678 arrests were made and fines were imposed amount ing to $13,043. In this connection it is In teresting to note that during 1905 916.45 was collected from fines. As the inspections are equally rigorous, and the judgments even more severe than formerly. It shows a marked Improvement In the character of the milk sold. The question of the control of the milk supply after It reaches the consumer and before it Is used Is the most intricate one with which we have to deal.' The proper care of milk In the household can only be consummated by properly educating the public as to its Importance. As a large proportion of the diarrheal diseases of Infancy are due to the Ingestion of impure milk the matter must he dealt with by the health authorities. This evil Is at its height during the Summer months, and for many years the Department of Health of New York City has endeavored to cope with It by means of Its "Summer Corps." The physicians and nurses con 1 "'VTZVe 1 Elson, harmony under Gustave Struber, member of the famous Boston Symphony Orchestra and a composer of some note, and carried on other gnuslcal studies under Karl Stansny, a noted German teacher.

Miss Alberta Campbell, assistant in the piano department, is an Oregon girl and Is a niece of the president of the uni versity. 'Her principal study has been with Charles Dlerke, of Portland, of whom she took for five years.

Mr. Le Roy Gesner, head of the violin department of the university school of music, has only recently returned from Prague.

Prior to that Mr. Gesner studied (or one year In Berlin .under some of the best teachers In Germany. While In Prague he was a member of the Royal Bohemia Orchestra and played the difficult part of first violin. He also played at the Fine Arts Club of that city and took part In several of their very exclusive programmes. stituting this corps canvass the tenement district and by means of oral and written Instructions demonstrate to the mothers the necessity of the proper care and preparation of milk for the baby. Pasteurization is urged, tickets for ice from the Herald free Ice stations are Issued, and every effort Is made to see that the people are educated as to the prime importance of this subject. The milk supply of New York City at the present time Is better than It has ever been. It is constantly Improving and the solution of the whole problem is simply one of ex pansion. Following out the present system, our need is for more Inspectors, so that the Inspections of the farms, creameries and stores can be made more frequently. It is perfectly possible, to insure a perfectly pure milk supply to any city it systematic In spection is maintained and the dictum of "clean up and keep clean" is enforced. Early in this year an Important addition was made to the sanitary code of - the Board of Health. It provides: It shall be the duty of all persons having in their possesion bottles, cans or other re ceptacles containing milk or cream, which are used In the transportation and delivery of milk or cream, to clean or cause thera to be cleaned immediately on emptying; and no person shall usS or cause or allow to be used any such receptacle for any pur pose whatsoever other than the holding of milk or cream, or receive or have in his possession any such receptacle so used or which Is unclean, or In which milk or cream has been allowed to stand until of fensive. This section Is simply In line with our constant efforts toward ultimate perfection. As a 'special branch of the work the in vestigation of the milk supply tn all In stances of typhoid fever should" be men tioned. In each case the attending physi cian Is supplied with a card requesting In formation as to the disease and all possible sources of infection. The name of the deal er supplying the milk to the family Is ob tained. The dealer Is visited by an in spector from the department and a rigid in vestigation concerning the milk la carried on. the milk being traced back through the creamery to the dairy and all possible ave nues of Infection carefully traced. In order to obtain a consensus of opinion as to ways of bettering our methods of milk Inspection the Mayor of New York, the Hon. George B. iVciellan. early this Spring ap pointed an advisory milk commission com posed of the following eminent physicians: Irs. I Emmett Holt, A. Jacob!, Joseph D. r v ";-i-rltz -''r X- I JC - yfc J m$4 ' i til W - ww Y P& y:ir G E V U FIRST STREET Bryant, T. Mitchell Prudden and Rowland D. Freeman. This commission reported to the Mayor on May 22 of this year, and I will briefly state some of their 'findings and conclusions. The report states that the scope of Inves tigation covered every stage through which the milk sold in this city passed from the cow to the consumer: that milk obtained from a healthy cow, in a proper manner, is always wholesome, and never a source of danger If it is keot cool and uncomtaml nated and consumed within a limited time, but at the same time is a substance in which germs mudtiply rapidly under con ditions favorable for their growth; that these contaminations arise from dirty sur roundings, from milking a sick or dirty cow, from milking with dirty or wet hands, by the use of dirty utensils or contact with Impure water or by keeping milk . at a warm temperature favorable to the propa gation of germs. To secure a good milk supply tt is of the first importance to educate the farmers re garding the measures which alone make this result possible, and afterward to see that -the rules, relating therto are carried out. Since for the most part the contaminat ing agents which render milk dangerous are introduced at the farms, the production of good milk demands that the farmers be educated so as to secure this result, and also that proper surveillance be exercised. To have efficient Inspection of the jmilk business of New York City at least VK in spectors for the country districts from which the supply Is drawn, in addition to the 10 now available, should be employed.

TOO VALUABLE TO BE SOLD Japanese Saya Philippines Thrive Under American Rule. WASHINGTON, Oct 19. Mall ad vices from Manila report that Akasa Tsuka, the Japanese Consul for the Philippines, has recently concluded his first ' visit to the southern Islands. Upon h's return to Manila, the Consul said that the reat natural wealth of the Southern Philippines . astonished him and that he can readily see that the United States will never desire to sell the islands. He was very much Impressed also with the military government of the Moro provinces. He considers it one of the most effective and practical sys tems that could be. devised for the Moros. . "Th8 Moro," he said, "seems to be bright and honest and will, under the present system of government, develop into a. fine citizen some day, as have the natives of the mountains of For mosa under the Japanese government. "Everybody In the southern islands seems to be talking hemp and copra and leaving politics to shift for them selves, and there .seems to be no ques tion of race, or anything except the development of the country. This and bettering their own condition seem to occupy Americans, Japanese and Fili pinos, and I think that this accounts for tho present prosperity," said Mr. Akasa Tsuka.
