THE
PERFORMANCE
DUTIES.
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

work at. school Is that It is so dif
ferent from the work done at home
that it does not put the child Into tha.t
sympathetic relation with the ' home,
which after all is for him and the
home the most Important thing in the
world.' 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.

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.
