10 LENTS PUPILS School Seeks to Stimulate Dor mant and Cultivate Inde pendent Faculties. PARENTS HELP TEACHERS fctudents Encouraged in Work Best Liked at Home and Receive Cred its for Accomplishments Play Is Not Overlooked. With t..e view to developing and making childhood welfare the most important feature, the t. fchool. through Principal A. F. H'rahner the teachers and the community has been made a beehive of activity. These em brace development of the dormant fac ulty of childhood, the stimulation of the otherwise backward child, promo tion of the original and Independent faculties and the building up of a heMthful body and a fresh, vigorou. mind. The school has been made a community center where the people of ten meet, bringing the school and the homes together. Tho regular work of the course of study is not departed from, but the teachers emphasize the value of other work the original and practical. Pu pils of the school this term are to re port any special work they do or a", interested in. outside the school hours. This Is a plan for rewarding industry. Credits are given fur industry. . A pupil may rank low In his school studies for some reason, yet if he shows he can do something or make some thing, he Is made to feel that the teachers appreciate that which he can do. rrodurts Are Numerous. Forty or more pieces of work have been reported, ranging from a checker board to a piece of Persian rug. the latter being made by Hazel Cartosian, a native of Armenia, who is In the eighth grade. About 100 boys and girls nave en tered the school garden contest. Many of them have planted plots at their homes. In the Lents School there will be an exhibit of their products In June and October. The business men of Lents are expected to offer suitable prizes. The Lents Grange has offered a. cash prize, but the product for which It will be awarded has not yet been decided. " ,,. ... The Lents School also will partici pate In the city school contest. About so girls are engaged in sweet pea growing. In June and July an ex hibit will be held and the school will also participate in the sweet pea con test to be held by the Oregon 6weet Pea Society. . , We are encouraging boys and girls to raise poultry." said Principal Hirsh ner. The pupils are encouraged to liok forward to a poultry exhibit next Winter, when their work alone will be brought together in competition and prizes offered. The plan is not to grade the birds, but to grade the boy and girl on what he or she accom - plishes. The pupils will describe what and how be or she does the work. A record of cost of raising and eggs pro duced will, be kept. The general ap pearance of the birds will count in the award. Cpops and cages, designed and made by the pupils, will be en couraged. The points In the fowl or the abllltv of the student to recognize them will count. In all this work pupils who participate are given credit for industry. Eatertalnsarat Overlooked. One of the most popular activities of Lents School is play. The Parents Teachers Club and the school have pro vided a fund by entertainment, and equipment has been Installed, consist ing of slides, traveling rings, bars, swings, basketball, ladders, etc Chil dren are eager to get into the base ment in the morning and are loath to leave In the afternoon for their homes. "Vigorous play is a great help to discipline," said the principal. "The excess motor energy is expended and after play the pupil is ready for appli cation of mind. Pupils are thus made stronger physically and mentally." The Parents-Teachers Club, with bout 0 active members, of which Mrs. Boddy is president, approves of these efforts for the betterment ot the community and the children. The club 1s now trying to secure a domestic science school for tho coming vaca tion. The cluh succeeded In having Installed at the last vacation a class In sewing which was well attended and appreciated. The Board of Education Included in the tax levy provision for additional grounds. The Board has been asked to furnish oak. ash and maple, so that the boys in the manual train ing department can make necessary furniture for the assembly hall, rest rooms, principal's office and the school rooms. Paplls Are Workers. The Lents School Is made up of chil dren of working classes. 90 per cent being American born. Many do not nn Jsh the grammar grades and not more than 60 per cent attend high school. Therefore the activities of Lents School are dtrecttd to prepare the pupils for real life responsibilities and that Is the reason the Parents-Teachers" Club Insists on vocstlonsl work in the school. Attendance has not been in terfered with In four years by slsk ness. owing to the healthful activities of the school. Last year the registra tion was 1007 and this year so far 900, as a large section of tributary terri tory was ct off at Wood mere. The i - ct.n.-.l Ki, limine.

That the wool clip in Kittitas County will total from 750,000 to 1.000.000 pounds this Spring, is the belief of Mal colm MeLennon, a wealthy sheep owner. Sheep shearing here will not be start ed for several weeks, and so far tne - . ,. no offers for their Biircjiiucii crop. In the lower valley shearing is well under way, ana mucu been sold. A Portland house has pur chased 80.000 pounds from U..F. Dite man, at prices ranging from. 13 to. JO cents a pound.. Local owners who are watching the market, are of the opin ion that, prices will be .considerabl higher than last season. Ellensburgs Woolen Mill, which last year purchased some 80.000 pounds of wool from Senator J. H. Smithson here, at 16 U cents, is expected to prove an important factor In determining the market price of Kittitas wool. Ac cording to officials of the mi l. the Kittitas wool is the best to be obtained, and is used In the -manufacture of. the finest cashmeres and woolens. At the MeLennon corrals east of tne city, shearing is expected to be start ed about April 2. Sam Blachley, who operates a power shearing machine, was in Kittitas early this week making pre liminary arrangements for the work. Last year some 25,000 sheep were sheared at the Kittitas corral by the Blachley outfit.- and this year Mr. Blachley estimates that 35.000 animals will be shorn of their wool. In the Kit. titas Canyon, southeast-of Ellensburg. some 30,000 sheep will be sheared this month. - ' There is a good deal of family pride for which there is difficulty to locate a foundation without" digging deep in the ruins of the past. old couple. t. a-.

(Special.) W S Hale, superintendent of the State Training School, has received extensive information as to the method of han dling tho boys' colony in the state of New Tork, the colony corresponding to the training school in this state. The information was asked for by Mr. Hale with the ultimate idea in view of changing the system which is used" at the Training School here. The school came in for some criticism during the recent Legislature, not because of the particular management in charge, which 'was praised by the investigat ing committee, but because of condi tions which exist at the- school, over which, it was- stated that the manage ment has no control. One of the specific objections found to the school is because it is not con ducted on the cottage plan and the bays are now all herded together In one large building.
