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. Lust week a large drove of
cattle awaiting shipment there were
60 hours without a sip to quench
thirst. Sherman County Observer.
Lame shoulder Is almost Invariably
caused by rheumatism of the muscles
and yields quickly to the free appll
cation of Chamberlain's Liniment.
This liniment Is not only prompt and
effectual, but In no way disagreeable
to use. Sold by all dealers.'

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. Every out6t
i complete, with full directions, and is
easily installed. The Leader 8 y stem needs
no repairs, is suited to small buildings o
urge, sou is moderate m price.
