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

That the wool clip in Kittitas County

pounds this Spring, is the belief of Mal

chased 80.000 pounds from U..F. Dite

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. - '

SALEM, Or., March 15. (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. " '

may deem proper.
' The festival for 1913 will be featured

of livestock,, school children, automo
biles and the various fraternal organi
zations. ,
In order to make this year s festival

ably will attract more than a thousand
farmers to Roseburf
