MILK PRICES RISE
- ONE CENT A PINT
New Recommendations of City
Milk Commission Become
Effective Sunday.
DELIVERY LOSS IS HEAVY
Under Recent Ruling Deliveries of
Milk Will Not Be Made tTnless
Empty Bottles Are
Placed on Steps.
Increase of one cent in the cost of
milk sold in pints will go into effect
tomorrow, upon recommendation of the
ny jyiuk commission. me new rec
ommendations adopted by the dairies
and creameries of the city will abol
ish the delivery of the quarter pint
cream bottle, will require that no de
liveries of milk by bottles be made
unless empty bottles are placed on the
steps by the consumers and will also
provide for front-door delivery of milk.
The need in the past of delivering
milk at the rear door has added con
siderable to the general cost of milk
delivery. Hereafter, the milk will be
delivered at the nearest door to the
street, be it front or rear. An ex
ception to this rule is made in the
cast of apartments or flats where de
liveries may be made at trade en
trances. Closer Baying? Predicted.
To force dealers to order a quantity
of milk and cream to meet their re
quirements, the Milk Commission in its
June recommendations ordered that the
return and exchange of unsold milk
and creams by stores and apartment
houses be discontinued.
The recommendations In full, effec
tive beginning tomorrow, are as fol
lows: i
That the price of single pints of milk be
8 '.4 cents.
At a retail price of 12 cents per quart,
the distributor pays 64 cents for the milk
and has 6!4 cents for his own cost of han
dling and delivery. The delivery allow
ance for pints is too small, for its cosu
as much, within a small fraction of a cent
to deliver a single pint as a quart. It it
unjust that the single pint purchaser should
benefit at the expense of the dealer, or
what is more probable, that the loss on
pints should be borne by the purchaser ot
quarts,
lrood Value Is High.
IoubtIess tHe increase of -price on single
pints will induce many consumers to take
quarts instead of pints, but it will be a bene
fit rather than a hardship to encourage
consumers to take quarts of milk instead
of pints, because the food value of milk
la high and any surplus can be used for
cottage cheese and cooking purvoses. Mr.
Hoover says that in spite of the increased
cost of milk, it is still the cheapest food
on the market.
That the quarter-pint cream bottle deliv
ery be abolished.
Quarter-pints of cream are now being sold
at 1ri cents. The cream in the bottle costs
4'i cents, leaving 3Vi cents for handling and
delivery, while o cents is" near the actual
cost of delivery. Here again the distributor
Is doing business at a loss.
Bottles Must Be Returned.
That retail bottled milk shall be delivered
only when an equal number of empty bot-
Jles are set out by the customer, that is.
he customer shall set out an empty bottle
for each full bottle required. Qn written
request of the customer the distributor shall
furnish one additional bottle so that extra
milk may be-obtained. '-The -customer shall
pay 8 cents for each bottle not returned to
the distributor and may obtain milk by
setting out 8 cents instead of a bottle for
each bottle of milk desired.
The loss of empty bottles is a hardship
n all persons concerned in the milk busi
ness. The extent of the loss is almost un
believable. The largest distributor shows 1 pital
more man omu per montn necessary 1.0 re
place lost bottles. Another distributor de
livering about 1400 quarts per day shows a
loss of about $220 per month, or almost
exactly cent per quart of milk delivered
is chargeable to lost bottles. In the latter
case the losses are mostly single empty bot
tles so that it seems evident that the loss
occur3 in the household and not from steal
ing bottles on the porches or by theft of
whole cases of empties.
Delivery lons is Heavy.
most of the courses are saturated with
these survivals and knowledge is im
posed rather than acquired. Further,
he says, teachers are bound by these
iron bonds of custom. Dr. Hart sug
gests a new spirit of organization and
method to remedy the educational
problems.
Robert T. Leigh, Instructor In poli
tics at Reed College. In discussing the
book said: "It is the purpose of Mr.
Hart's Democracy In education' to
rescue the study of education from a
dull, fact-getting process to the op
portunity of thinking through the
mighty struggles of civilization out
from the inertia of blind habit and cus
tom to an Intelligently directed com
munity life. This struggle, as he in
timates, is now going on Intensely and
fiercely.
"Such a book does not claim to be
history in the old encyclopedic sense.
It does not represent the patient ac
cumulation of original records. It
seeks rather to interpret for workers
in the problem of education the ma
terials and methods of the past. It
is evident in every chapter that the
author Is intensely interested In out
comes as well as origins
"Following somewhat the outlook of
John Dewey, democracy full, actual,
living democracy is accepted through
out as the aim of modern education
The fundamental educational need is,
then, not aim, but the development of
an educational method which Is demo
cratic. "Something of the new method is
suggested by the author In the writing
of his own book. There is no attempt
to classify facts and imparting them
page by page, and there is no insistence
on the bibliographical mustlness of the
schoolroom. In reading it one is every
where faced with problems problems
of the past, unsolved, neglected, and
problems of the present big, com
pelling, alluring, calling to conference
not only the school man. but the po
litical scientist, the economist and so
cial reformer and uniting them in the
'spirit of the search.' "

Enough Men, It Is Said, Have En

Service Under Blanket
$10', 000 Bond.
Jitney buses will be operating un
der the provisions of the new bond
ing act approved by the voters at the
last special city election early his
week, according to E. W. Rossman.
president, secretary and treasurer of
the Jitney Bus Union.
Enough men have enrolled In the
United Motor Bus Association to Insure
the operation of Jitneys under a blan
ket bond of $10,000, Mr. Rossman says,
and securities in the form of libenty
bonds will be deposited with the City
Treasurer soon.
Some of the men interested in the
new organization, however, are not so
confident. Men have been slow In de
positing the $100 required by the as
sociation, and only a few thus far
have actually put up the cash, with
the new organization, they say.
The first personal bond permitted
unden the new bonding act was' ap
proved by Acting Mayor Bigelow yes
terday. The bond was presented by
Sam Hochfeld. but was not for jitney
bus operation. Mr. Hochfeld plans to
operate a regulation for-hire car.
Mr. Rossman for several weeks has
been attempting to complete organi
zation foi the operation of 100 Jitney
buses under one bond of $10,000. The
plan was to secure 100 men who would
subscribe $100 each. Several meetings
have been- called, but as yet the cash
of the required 100 has not been posted.
It is possible to begin operation
with less than 100 men if the Jitney
drivers who have already subscribed
will deposit additional cash to meet
the deficit.
Should the plan of the nited Motor
Bus Association fail to materialize, a
number of Jitney bus owners expect
to begin operations independently.
This will require a deposit of a $1000
bond or securities of like amount for
each car operated. Some of the men
are planning to operate independently,
but are now enrolled in the associa
tion and cannot begin operations until
it has been definitely determined
whether the buses will run under a
blanket bond.

The cost of bottles to the distributors at
present is about 61s cents for quart bottles
and 5 cents for pints. "We believe that the
above figures are conservative and repre
sent the loss which, every distributor is
now bearing. Unless the retail consumers
of milk co-operate by returning bottles
promptly this loss of cent per quart will
continue. On the other hand if the loss can
be cut down they may expect to receive the
benefits of the economy.
That delivery of retail milk be - made at
the residence entrance most accessible to
the street, whether it is the front or back
door. This does not apply to deliveries to
apartment-houses or flats, where deliveries
xnade be made at trade entrance.
The delivery of milk at the most accessi
ble entrance, whether front door or back
door, will reduce substantially the time nec
essary for delivery. The commission is con
fident that the public will co-operate in
adopting this and any other recommenda
tion which will reduce waste of material or
energy.
Return of Milk Banned.
That the return and exchange of unsold
milk and cream by stores and. apartment
houses be discontinued.
Grocers and others have been accustomed
to return all unsold milk and cream. They
have, therefore, no inducement to order close
to thei rrequirements, and taking more than
they need turn back thes urplus to the dis
tributer, who handles it twice and gets only
the butterfat X'alue out of it. with a result

Incident to milk returns should be per

The above recommendations are for the
month of June. Further Investigation and
recommendations are pending. The milk
commission is confideai that consumers.
dealers and producers will co-operate in
carrying out the recommendations of the
commission in order to prevent useless waste
of material and energy and thus keep the
price of milk as low as possible.

Volume Is Written by Dr. Joseph K

Be Used in Many Schools.
"Democracy in Education," a book
Just off the press and written by Dr.
Joseph Hart, of Reed College, is to be
used next year as a text and refer
ence in the Montana State University
Cornell College, Iowa: Chicago Uni
versity and the Pennsylvania College.
Dr. Hart, who is professor of educa
tion at Reed, has received distinctive
comment and praise from academic
leaders and the president of the Mon
tana State College has written of it:
"I regard It as the most significant
book published in the field, of history
of education."
Dr. Hart in his volume says that
democracy in education means the use
of the world's accumulation of knowl
edge, not for the privileged class, but
its use in such a way as to yield the
greatest good to the greatest number.
The so-called classical type of educa
tion, be avers, is intensely aristocratic
and is handed down freighted with
'feudal notions," In ordinary schools
