SUUA2 CDKSCXFT1M ' IN THE 0.1 Oar . People Spend on an ArerspB a Abont One Hllllon Dollars i Daj' ;-, 'icr sngar. r . , The people of the United States consume half, their own' weight in sugar every year. This may eeem a startling 'statement,, but, if we, take the quantity of augar produced in the United States and add, to this the quantity brought from our own Islands and the quantity imported from foreign countries, and subtract therefrom the amount exported, we will get a grand total of con aider ably more than 7 billion pounds consumed in the country; and by dividing the population in to this grand total, we get an average of 81 1-2 pounds per cap ita, speaking . in ; round terms, for 1910, and about a Uke quanti ty for 1909. It js not assumed, of course, that each person neies sadly consumes sugar equal to one-half , bis individual weight; but takingthe total consumption and comparing it with the total population in the. section known as continental United States, the average yearly consumption of sugar is found to be about 81 1-2 pounds per capita. In fact the people of the United States are larger, consumers of sugar per capita than those of any other country of the- world except England, for which the largest figures show a consump tion averaging 86 pounds per cap ita, against our own average of 81 1-2 pounds per capita. The iJpext largest per capita consump tion is in Denmark, 77 3 4 pounds; followed by Switzerland, 64 lbs. Swedeii, 54 pounds; and Ger many and Holland, each about 43 1-2 pounds. Not only is the United States the second largest sugar consum er per capita, but the total amount consumed - annually is . m u c h greater 'than that of any other country,' aggregating, ' as above indicated, more than 7 billion pounds per annum, against about 4 billion pounds in England and about 3 billion pounds; jn Ger many..' ,'..' ::J'.:-' About one-nalt or. tne sugar consumed in the United States is brought from foreign countries about one fourth from our own Islands, and the- remaining one fourth produced in this country. The total production of sugar in the United States now amounts to 1 3-4 billion pounds a year, of whicb more than 1 billion pounds is beet sugar andj about three quarters of a billion cane sugar. It is only recently that the pro duction of beet sugar in' the Uni ted States has come, to exceed that of cane sugar. In 1900 do -mestic production of cane sugar was twice as great as that of beet sugar, and 20 jrears ago was more than 60 times as great; but the growth of beet sugar pro duction has been very rapid in recent years, andin 1907, for the first tiifle, exceeded in quatity that, produced from cane and has so continued since that time. ""- Of 4 the , sugar brought from other. i countries, nearly, all is made-from-cane. While about one-half of the world's sugar id made from beets, most of it is produced in Europe and "consum ed in the country y of production ' or in other parts of that grand division, while most of the world outside of Europe obtains its sugar supply from cane, ' grown of course, in the tropical . and subtropical section. ' Of the cane sugar which weT consume, most ? i Ma , COmm of 'that ii coming from 4 foreign countries ig drawn from Cula, the Dutch East Indies.' and atqall er amounts from the Vest Indies, Mexico, Central and South Ameri ca.v All of that coming, from our own Islands Porto Rico, Hawaii, and the Philippines, is cane, sug ar. While of the domestic product about 4 ), per cent ia produced from cane. ' The beet sugar of! the United States is grown chief ly in Colorado, CalifiMrnia, and Michigan, and some . in Utah, Idaho, and Wisconsin; while most of the cane sugar is produc ed in Louisiana, with smaller quantities in Texas, Folrida, Georgia, end South Carolina. The sugar "habit" is evident ly growing one with the people of the United States a"nd proba bly with those Of othr cd intries, since the total world production of sugar, including all countries for whiah statistics are available, his increaed 60 per cent in the last decade and about doubled in 15 years. In our own case , the consumption has shown a rapid srrowth. the ner canita consumn tion having been, in 1880, 7 4d pounds; in 1890, 51 pounds, in 1900, 69 pounds'; and in 1910, ap proximately 81 1-2 pounds. , ': j What is the cost of this 'enor mous quantity of sugar consum ed in the United States? This is more difficult to answer. TBe valuation of that-, brought from foreign countries and our Islands is set down at about 175 million dollars in 1910, and the stated value of that produced in the United States, at approximately 75 million dollars; though ' this comparatively high figure when considered by the price per pound is due to the fact that the valua tion is based ' upon the refined article, while that of the sugar from abroad is the value of the unrefined article in the country of production: If, however, we accept a general average of cents per . pound - as the retail price paid by our people for the 713 billion pounds of sugar con sumed by them in 1910, we should get a total of $366,000,000, or an average of approximately $1,000, 000 a day paid for sugar by. the people of the United States.

L. Barber, and Mrs. E. C. Hall The minutes, of the previous meeting were then read and ap proved. The first topic to be . discussed was, rlow may we guard and protect the health of our child ren." , t Several of the teachers expres sed themselves as believing1 that colds, pneumonia, and other com mon contagious diseases, ' are communicated from one to anoth er, more by the1 common drink ing cup than any other method. Poor ventilation and going; with wet feet were other causes men tioned that would lead to the ill health of the child. The second topic was, "How to awaken interest m our pa trons?" This was strongly discussed by several of the teachers, some thinking that it could best be brought about by the teachers making personal visits to the patrons and appealing to - them in regard to the necessity of vis iting the school. - Others thoughtjby rousing the interest in the pupils and they be ing awakened themselves, would by telling their parents of the won derf ul things going on at school. stir up their sense of duty unti tney would laei tnat. tney were Under obligation to go and visit the school The President of the Association thought that it Would be a very good plan to have the parents invited to the Teachers' Associations, that they might come in closer touch with the persons who are instructing their children. , -7.

Such as these were readout by Pres. W. J. Beale and Supt. P. J. Long, and awak ened lively discussions among the teachers: ' "What is to be done with a pupil who wilfully neglects to pre pare his lessons?" '"Should corporal punishment ever be resorted' to?" "What is the best thing to be done, for a pupil who can't keep up with his class, and tioes not want to go back?" , Then the Association adjourned forty minutes for dinner. . , AFTERNOON SESSION.
