PORTLAND SCHOOLS MILDLY CENSURED Department of Agriculture Thinks Study of Agricul ture Is Neglected., SPOKANE'S WORK PRAISED Parental School -of Fanning as Part of City's Educational System Is . Described - Family Plan . .. Proves Satisfactory... ' - OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Dec. 25. Directors of the pub lic schools of Eprtland are mildly crltlclsed'in a report Just issued by the Department of agriculture,, which deals with public school gardens in the lead ing American cities, and Spokane, 'by way of contrast, is highly commended for-the steps it has. taken to- Instruct public school, children in agriculture: The censure of Portland is mild and indirect, but is offset by -praise be stowed upon the young men's associa tion, which Is doing work similar to that of schools in some other cities. Speaking of Portland, the -report says: "The schools of Portland have taken no - active part in the promotion of agriculture or horticulture. While the city Is famous for its civic pride and some of the principals of schools en courage the children to assist parents In their home gardens, the matter of Interesting-children In plant life is left wholly to the parents or to the agen cies. . Garden Contest Reviewed. A young men association of Port land wields a strong influence among the men and boys of the city along many and varied lines. In 1910 the association offered to teach every boy in Portland to swim. Three thousand boys received such instruction. Equally as many responded to the call given by the association through the public schools, in 1911, to sign a contract to enter a garden cofltest in growing four vegetables and one flower at their homes. In the Judgment of the director of the boy's work, J. W. Palmer, this is the best work ever done by the association in its efforts to reach the boys. 'In this contest the plat cultivated could not be less than 10 by 15 feet. A registration fee of 40 cents was charged to cover postage, cost of seeds and otbar expenses. The contest was divided into a Spring contest and a Fall one, a registration fee of 60 cents be ing charged sjf both were entered. Early in the Spring a representative from the Oregon Agricultural -Experiment Station, at Corvallis, gave a course of elementary talks to the boys. Seeds were distributed, to be planted after methods given In the lecture course. Each contestant was required to make a report on blanks furnished by the association on the 1st and loth of each month. The reports had to reach the contest secretary within three' days of the stipulated time or credit was not allowed on the score. These reports counted 30 points on the prize awards. They could be sent by mall or brought -to the office ' by the boy, the latter way counting 10 add! tlonal points, as it was felt that per sonal delivery of the reports offered an opportunity for discussion with the director. Every garden was visited by the association secretaries and Judged, this counting an additional 40 points. An exhibition was held at the end of each contest, no boy being allowed to compete for a prize unless ne entered this exhibition. Spokane's Work Commended. Of agricultural education In the Spo kane schools, the report speaks highly, saying in part: More In the line of school garden Ing is being done in the eastern part of Washington than In the western. Spo kane, especially, has some excellent work, though not as a recognized part of the course of study. The principal of a building, however, who recognizes its value in the growth of the child and In addition to her other duties finds, time to have the children plant and cultivate a garden, will find her efforts well commended by the Super intendent of Schools. By the use of water, marvelous lawns are grown in Spokane In an incredibly - short time. Several very attractive clover lawns that had been planted but six weeks were noted around school buildings Ail the schools that have gardens use about the same area, BO feet by 100 feet, and Hiese are generally similar In plan the individual pl&.t lor the hild and an observation or educational section. A large potato yield at the Audubon School was to be sold for pic tures for the school. This school. following the thought suggested by its name, has made and placed bird boxes in ever- available spot about . the chool in the windows, on poles in the yard, and in near-by trees. n excellent beginning has been made in Spokane, and. when it sees the necessity of a trained teacher to direct the work it will hold a front rank In the best form of school gar den, the one on the immediate school grounds, for the board of education is most far-sighted In its purchase of grounds for bulldingar .It never buys less than a block, 300 feet by 300 feet, and sometimes more. It buys in ad vance of the growth of -population and has now four sites waiting to be built pon. With so much land buildings are propertly located, additions can-be made as needed, and plenty of spajce assigned for gardens and playgrounds. Parental School Site Ideal. As a part of the city school system. Spokane has established a parental school four miles from the city on a 45-acre tract of land. The site Is per fectly suited to the purpose. Located in a rich valley on the banks of -the Latah River, it affords opportunity for boating, swimming, skating, abun dance of ice for cutting, and water in plenty for Irrigating purposess. The chool has been in operation but a tit le over a year and being under the direction of William M. Baker, a man ho received his training at the Chi cago Parental School, it is conducted similarly. It ia organized on the family plan, with cottages built to accommo date 20 boys to each home. Each family is under the direction of a man and his wife, particularly selected for the place. The-cost of keeping boys In small families is considerable, but it is easily overbalanced by the greater good that can be done. As in Chicago, the classes are kept at the same standard as the city schools. In addition they have manual training, horticulture, laundry work, and military training. The boys have built wagon boxes, hot beds, root cellars and flumes, and insisted in put ting in the ielephone and fire alarm. system. They have 400 chickens and 300 ducks. They have raised all the vegetables used at the Institution in a ear except one cask of onions. The vegetable garden Is planted on the plat plan, each plat measuring 2b y 63 feet. each, boy having one of these ivisions as his own garden. Each gar en is hoed and weeded by the boy assigned to it and the system of irri-; PORTLAND BUSINESS DIRECTORY ADVICE. JOHV A R V.
