OF HOME V ' That civilization is founded on the home, all will agree, says L R. Al derman. The school should be a real helper of the home. ; How can the school help the borne? How, can It help the home establish habits In the around the fiekii, all could feel . the children's admiration for the boy who could do something worth while. I have seen a girl who could make good bread or set a table nicely, get the real admiration of her schoolmates. . The school can help make better home builders. It can help by iadus- rlal work done in the school. , but as that Is already receiving considera tion by the press and in a few schools, I shall not in this short article treat of it . ' " The plan I have in mind will cost no money, will take "but little School time, and can be put Into operation In every part of the state at once. It will create & demand for expert In struction later on. It la to give Bchools credit for industrial work done at home. The mother and father are to be recognised as teachers, and the 6chool teacher put Into the position of one who cares about the habits and tastes of the whole child. Then the teacher and the parents will have much In' common. Every home has the equipment for industrial work and has somebody who uses it , with more or less skill. , ' , i The school has made so many de mands on the home that the parents have, In some cases, felt that all the time of the child must .'be given to the school.. But an important thing that the child needs along with I school: work is established habits of home aVaaI nlav and hnniA nlav and InvA f for parents and respect for teacher and fellow-pupils can best be foster ed by a more complete co-operation between school and home, so that the whole child is taken into account at all times. -muwi nt systematic norfcr:nance of borne duties, so that they will be efll- making, and! these habits can coiu cient and!

The criticism that it. It is my conviction, based upon Is most often made upon industrial careful and. continuous observation, that the school can greatly increase the interest .the child will take in home Industrial work by making it a subject of consideration at school, A teacher talked of sewing, and the girl sewed. She talked of Ironing, and they wanted to learn to Iron neatly. She talked of working with tools, ant! both glrla and boys made bird-houses, kites, and other things of interest., A , school garden was planned In a city and1 one of the boys .was .employed lo plow the land. Seventy-five children were watching for him to come with the team. At last be came" driving around the corner. . He could manage a team.

Juvenile Institutions find that they must; be careful not to institu tionalize the child to the extent that he may not be contented in a real home. In my opinion" It will be a great thing for the child to want to help his parents do the task that needs to be done and to want to do it In the. best possible way, The reason that bo many country boys are now the leading men of affairs is because early in life they had the responsibility of home thrust upon them. I am sure that the motto "Everybody Helps," is a good one. v ',' 1 .' But one says, "How can it be brought about? How can the school give credit for industrial work done at home?" This may be accomplish ed by printed slips asking the homes tq take account of the work that the child does at borne under the instruc tion of the home, and explaining that credit will be given this work on the school record. These slips must be prepared for children according to age so that the child will not be ask ed to do too much, for it must be clearly recognized that children must have time for real play. The required tasks must not be too arduous yet they must be real tasks. They must not ibe tasks that will put extra work on parents except In the matter, of in struction and observation. They may well call for the care of animals, and should Include parden work for both boys and girls. Credit in school for home Industrial work (with, the par ents consent) should count as much as any one study in school. To add interest to the work, exhi bitions should be given at stated times so that all may learn from each other and the best be the model for all. The School Fairs in Yamhill. Polk, Benton, Lane, Wasco, and Cook counties, together with the school and home industrial work done at Eugene, have convinced roe moBt thoroughly that these tlans are nracticable. and that school work and home work.

Sprinter Peihler or Minnehaha All Show Shoe Science SMITH & GREEN Shoe Men THE OBSfflVERPBilSTlNEVS "I have never seen a more beauti ful valley In all my life" remarked a man from Chicago who was visiting relatives In La Grande this week. "It is the one garden spot to be reached from Cheyenne coming west. If all homeseekera felt as I do they would get off of the train the moment the Grande Ronde valley was reached no matter how far their ticket would car ry them. .This man has travelea a great deal. ; He has seen many good valleys, but his soul was touched with the sight that was revealed in the Grande Ronde. Is it .not possible to get such sentiment as this worked up through the east for this part of Ore gon, Certainly it Is, and ' when ar rangements can be made for stop-over in La Grande and a side trip into the Wallowa country the final touches will be added. Let everyone" get busy and do something to gain this end. When you light your pipe at night and , begin to ponder , over . business troubles and wonder why this and that has not , transpired, take an Invoice of your own doings. ' Don't begin by saying the fault lies with the commun ity, or with some Individual. Look your own efforts Btralght in the face and see If you have dene your part In the game. Figure out to a certainty whether you have been true to the Grande Ronde valley. ' ; . Remember, there is no time so thor oughly )ostvas the time consumed by arguing small questions. .Maude Ad ams always said, "Don't V argufy," and Maude is pretty wise at that.
