APPLE GROWERS UNION SCHOOL INFLUENCE ON HOME DUTIES By L. R. ALDERMAN That civilization U founded on the home, all will aree. The school should lie a reul hclix-r of the home. How can the Hthool help the home? How can It help the home entultllxh liuMtH In the children of systematic performance of home dutlen, no that they will be efficient and Joyful home helpers? One way In for the school to take Into account home Industrial work and honor It. It Is my convic tion, based upon careful and contin uous observation, that the school can greatly Increase the Interest the child will take In home Industrial work by making It a subject of con slderatlon at school. A teacher talked of sewing and the girls sewed. She tulked of Ironing, and they wanted to learn to Iron neatly. She talked of working with tools, and both girls and boys made bird houses, kites, and other things of Interest. A school garden was planned In a city and one of the hoys was employed to plow the land Seventy-five children were watching for hltn to come with the team. At last he came driving around the cor ner. He could manage a team. He drove Into the lot and a hundred and fifty eyes looked with admira tion at the boy who could unhitch from the sled and hitch on to the plow, and then as he "man fashion" lines over one shoulder and under one arm drove the big team around the field, 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 cau help make better home builders. It can help by In dustrial work done In the school, but as that Is already receiving con sideration by the press and In a few schools, I shall not In this short artl cle treat of It. The plan I have In tulnd will cost no money, will take but little school time, nnd can le put Into operation In every part of the state at once. It will create a demand for an expert Instructor later on. It Is to give school credit for Industrial work done at home. The mother and father are to be recognized as teach ers, and the school teacher put In the position of one who cares about the habits and tastes of the whole child. Then the teacher and the parents will have much lu common. Every home has the equipment for Indus trial work and has somebody who uses It with more or less skill. The school has made so many de mands on the home that the parents, In some cases, felt that all the time of the child must be given to the school. Hut an Important thing that the child needs along with school work Is established habits of home making, nnd these habits can come only from real home making. What one dtn-s depends as much tip on habit ns upon knowledge. The criticism that Is most often made upon Industrial work at school is that It Is so different from the work done at home that It does not put the child Into that sympathetic rela tion with the home, which after all Is for him and the home the most im portant thing In the world. Juvenile Institutions find that they must be careful not to Institutionalize the child to the extent that he may not Ih contented In a real home. In my opinion It will be n great thing for the child to want to help his parents do the task that needs to be dime and want to do It In the Ix'wt possi ble way. The reason that so many country boys are now leading men of affairs Is because early In life they had the responsibility of home thrunt upon them. I am sure that the motto "Everybody Helps," Is a good one. Hut one says, "How can it be brought about? How can the school give credit for Industrial work done at home?" This may be accomplished by printed slips asking the homes to take account of the work that the child does nt home under the Instruc tion of the home, nnd explaining that credit will be given this work on the school work. These slips must be prepared for children ac cording to nge so that the child will not be asked to do too much, for it must 1k clearly recognized that chil dren must have time for real play. The required tasks must not be too arduous, jet they must be real tasks. They must not 1k tasks that will put extra work on the parents ex cept In the matter of Instruction and observation. They m-iy well call for the enre of animals, and should Include garden 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 nt stated times so that all may learn from each other ami the best be the model for all. The school fairs in Yamhill, Polk, Henton, I, tine, Wiimvo ami Crook counties, together with the school and home Industrial work done at Eugene, have convinced me thoroughly that these plans are practicable and that school work and home work, school play and home play, and love for parent and respect for teachers and fellow pupils can Is-st lx fostered by a more com plete cooperation between school and home, so that the whole child Is taken Into account at all times. Beer Galore But no Water One can get plenty of beer to drink lu Shaniko, but water Is a scarce ar ticle. The town lias so outgrown the supply that water for the loco motives has to lie hauled from Biggs In tanks, and for train use It Is taken on here.

Water Works on the Farm Yes, (hat's Just what w meanreal water works) running water in the kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry, the barn in fact, all over the place. And it all don by that tank you are la the lower left hand corner of this picture the l.eailer System. It's vastly different mf from the old-fashioned elevated tank whuh worked by gravity. For the Leader Water Supply System is operated by tompresiftt air reliable, safe and cleanly. Your windmill pump osier into the tank (which is already full of air). The air, being elastic, la compressed into upper part of til tank, and forces the water out through the pipes. This gives you pressure, so that powerful stream ef water Is on tap at every faucet, no matter where it is located. And this mesns aSio lult Jtrv-froUctttm, for the pressure is alwayi . and always ready. Now, the old style grsvily tsnki were either put in th attic or sit sated on a high tower out of doors. la the former cas, their weight when full, cracked the plastering; or they overflowed or leaked, flooding the rooma below. In the case of the outside tanks, the water often froze solid in winter, necessitating expensive plumb ing bills ; or it became not and ataguanl during the summer and until tor use. The Leader Water Supply System olds all thia, because the airtight tank la either in the basement or buried under- round relow the front line.
