ployes obtain excellent education. He learns that a well 
equipped and carefully conducted kindergarten is found inside 
of its walls. He is taken into a room where he finds 200 or 300 
children attending a singing school which is held once or twice 
a week. He learns that the establishment has its own system 
of insuring its employes in such a way that by the setting aside 
of a small portion of the wages weekly the employes are in- 
sured against accident and sickness, and the family insured 
against his death. His family is thus cared for, and poverty 
among the employes is prevented. He finds a well] equipped 
library and learns that there is a branch of the Y. M. C. A. 
organization doing work among the men, and a somewhat 
similar organization doing work among the women. He 
learns that there is a weekly paper printed in the establish- 
ment, that a Sunday-school is carried on each week ; and he 
even finds that the company furnishes and repairs the boots 
of its employes. In short, he finds inside of this establishment 
almost what might be called a large family of people joined 
together for mutual good and for mutual improvement. It is 
not to be wondered that the employes are extremely proud of 
being members of the Bolle establishment, and that the places 
are at a very great premium. With such an intelligent, well- 
cared-for lot of employes it is possible to handle the great 
business with ease and accuracy, and not to experience the 
troubles which so frequently come elsewhere from carelessness 
or ignorance. 
So far as I am aware there are no other institutions in 
European cities that compare with the one described, in the 
extent of the organization among its employes. At the same 
time there are large numbers of companies in different cities 
whose purposes are similar to those of Bolle, namely, to 
furnish in large quantities a supply of the very best kind of 
milk to citizens of larger communities. Such institutions soon 
obtain a reputation which is their stock in trade. They 
cherish it with a great deal of care, and every attempt that ap- 
pears possible is made to protect the quality of the milk which 
they furnish their patrons. . Their methods effect every con- 
dition which may surround the milk from the very outset. In 
the first place, a careful selection is made in regard to the 
dairyman who shall furnish the milk originally. The cows are, 
as a tule, examined by a veterinarian before the milk is ac- 
cepted by these institutions. The sanitary conditions in the 
dairy are looked into carefully, and suggestions for improye-
