Hampton, superintendent of the public schools of La Grande, sad others. There Is not a man in the group .who could not ve me an interesting story. I am going to 'start with tho msl Kan I have mentioned, A, O. Hump ton, and tell who he is and for what he stands. When I lived at Pendio ton, 15 years or so ago, Mr. Hamp ton was principal of the high school there; so ;came to know somc-; thing of him and of bin work. He asked me to talk to tho students at the high school, with which request 1 was ft lad to comply. At tho con thiHion of my talk he took me for a tour of the building to show me what activities were being carrted on. I shall not atlompt to describe moro than two of tho (many activi ties. In n building just in the rear of the high school I visited the de partment of domestic economy, Here 51 girls were busy learning to he home-makers. Ail the activities of the household were being carried on. Here were various model ikiteh ens to demonstrate to the future homemakers how best to plan their kitchens. The kitchens were of various, sorts. In one was ati elec tric stove with ai! the equipment that goes with it. Is another a steel range, with sink. cupboards and cooking utensils. ' In still an other a cookstove and its equip ment. Each kitchen was so plan ned as to secure a maximum of light and convenience. There were no dark corners, no dirt-catchers. The sinks were at the proper height, and each piece of equipment was placed to economize space, steps and labor. Near the kitchens was a model dining room, and next to the dining room was a living room, off which was a bedroom, "We want to teach the girls that homemaking is one of the most use ful and desirable of occupations' gaid Professor Hampton. "Many of our girls will become the wives of farmers, and if we can instill in them while they are under our charge a love of pride in being good cooks and housekeepers (we shall have made a valuable contribution to society. We want" our girls to reflect such a credit on our insti tution that it shall be equivalent to a certificate of merit to have gradu ated from it. It more girls knew how to cook, to sew, to care for babies and to manage their homes without lost -motion there would be fewer applications for divorce and less matrimonial Infelicity. Our ob ject is to kelp make more efficient wives and mothers so there shall be better and happier homes. Here tho girls are taught every detail of household management. The course is an elective one, so that no girl is forced to take it. This means that the ones who do elect it are volunteers and are eager to learn ail they can. The ordinary young man in choosing between a girl who Is a good cook and homcmaker and Ihe one who is a butterfly is pretty apt to choose as a helpmate the one who really will prove a helpmate and not a mere heipeat From the girls department .we went to the industrial department, where groups of boys were taking trucks to pieces, reassembling fliv vers, working at the forge or the carpenter bench, and doing the thousand and one things that will ho found so useful in later life No graduate of the La Grande high hool who takes the full course In thtt industrial department need ever lack o job, for he is equipped to hold bis own in the battle of life. "So matter what work these rovs take mi." said Professor Hamp ton, "the knowledge they are gain i'tr here will make them useful t'H'xens and better husbands. "Which of all the studies being Hampton, without n moment's hesi tation said: "The producers and tax payers are making a larga invest ment in ortmil cash in every stu iUnt that attends our schools. Thii investment is lost if after prmlu a'.luK the tjudent fails to pay hack hi evfee fo the community the In vestment made in his or her edit ration. An educated drone is of no value to the commsittUy, , Ah idncated knave is a dangerous Ha biliiy to mx-hdy. Our graduates are either assets or ltalmmes to so ciety. This being so, tho most lm- pnrmt.t thing the students can h helped to acquire in diameter.. Svr vite, fair play, square dealing, eivic leadership, toioram-e, all those- are t' greater value than mere scho lastic, attainment, important us is the latter. "The longer I live ihe more im- P rested am i wish the need of Christian citizenship and service. That is why I am heart and sotsi for any and every altruistic mov. meitL What isn't good for all of the hive Isn't good for tho bee, A lowered morale, drinking, trying anything ottee, unsupervised danees all these lead to juvenile delin quency, to increased court costs nnd higher taxes, and, worst of all, to u lower standard of citizenship and eventually to broken homes and to children who tre apt to prove a problem rat her than an assnt to the body politic. Yes. knowledge is de sirable, hut there is an oid saying we alt need to take to heart, and that is, 'Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom; but with all thy getting gel under standing The schools and church es cannot take the place of right thinking and right living in the homes. Wo need to get back to Uis old-fashioned virtues of Uvin -f not Thrift f--l VHn' J for self alone, of integrity a,' uctor and all iimt H implies." char- BUDGET CUT AT WALL WA1XOWA, Nov. 20.
