Educators and Civic Authorities Becoming More Impressed With Scope of Organizations Effort and Its Power
for Good in Various Plans of Uplifting and Developing Coming Generation.
BY EDITH KNIGHT HOLMES.
THE Parent-Teacher movement has
become a recognized factor in the
everyday life of the community.
Bo wide is the scope of the organiza
tions, so diversified the Interests and
so great the power for service that
educators, parents, civic authorities
and many others are taking: note of the
splendid way' in which the Parent
Teacher Associations work.
They co-operate with the teachers
and are now giving entertainments for
welfare and school garden funds. They
are studying all the child problems and
are endeavoring to put their knowl
edge and efforts to practical worth.
The entertainment given last night
for the benefit of Fernwood Associa
tion at the Elite Theater was one of
the successes of the week. The chil
dren who took part are deserving of
especial mention.
Among the numbers were: A duet,

nd Mrs. John H. Walker; dance. "The
v Minuet," Roger Shay and Dorothy

Blanche Larson, violinist.

GEOGRAPHY CLASS PHOTOGRAPHED DURING EXPERIMENT' IN FRESH AIR EDUCATION.
The pupils of the fifth grade, A class, of Ladd School, enjoyed thei r geography lesson yesterday. It was a beautiful Spring day and Miss
Lulu Pratt, their teache, asjjed them "How many would like to have geography in the park?"
Immediately op went every hand and in a few minutes the boys and girls were reciting about Brazil, the rubber industry and the coffee
plantations with no blackboards d walls to hem them in and with only the trees and the blue sky overhead.
"They paid perfect attention," said Miss Pratt; "never looked around or fidgeted as they sometimes show a tendency to do in a school
room. When we had studied Brazil for a while we took up the' subject of "Birds." I gave them some colored pictures and books and we bad
a lovely time discussing birds. In the midst of our study along hopped several little wild birds and in a moment the children recognized and
classified them. - - - . '
"We shall have these out-door studies often during the Spring. They will be a reward for good deportment on the part of the class."

Klgrbt Watchman at State House
Takes Treatment for Complaint,
Then Complains of Result.
C ALEM, Or., March 11. (Special.)
hj Charles Holmstrom, night watch
man of the State House, has a tale of
woe in a class all by itself. For many
years he has been an Inveterate
smoker, and, so. far as he knows, the
use of the weed has not been Injurious
to him However, it Is probable he
will never smoke again, although he
says it is one of his greatest solaces.
This is the way it happened:
Mr. Holmstrom has suffered from
asthma and sore -throat for several
years,' his suffering the past Winter
having been more intense than ever be
fore. Smoking seemed the only thing
that gave him any relief and he in
dulged in the luxury without' any at
tempt at limitation. Finally he con
sulted a physician regarding the asth
ma an.l after one or two treatments, he
discovered, to his dismay, that he could
not smoke. He tried it several times,
but It was no use he just couldn't do
it. The next time he called at the phy
sician's office he told of his strange and
inexplicable sudden dislike for tobacco.
"That's easy," said the man who
writes prescriptions. "I have been
swabbing your throat with nitrite of
silver. You have taken the tobacco
cure and It is efficacious. It also is a
good cure for sore throat, for which
purpose I used it."
"It's a good joke on me," said Holm
strom sadly, "but the Mrs. Is delighted.
At all events my throat Is better."

by those who enjoy a touch of tonic
bitterness of flavor with their break
fast muffins. The following is a typ

GrapefruiL Marmalade Weigh and
wash the fruit. Score the grapefruit
in eighths and remove the rind from
the pulp.' Let the . rinds tsoak over
night in- water. Remove the "rag,"
cut the pulp in small pieces. For every
pound- qf fruit (weighed whole) allow
one pint water and one pint sugar.
Cover the -pulp -with half the sugar.
Let stand over flight. In the morning
drain the rinds and cut n thin shreds.
If a bitter marmalade is liked, use the
whole rind. If not, remove a portion
of the white parL Do not remove all
the white part or the marmalade will
not- "jell" so well. Cover with the
measured water and cook until tender.
Then add the pulp and all the sugar,
with lemon juice to taste, if the mixr
ture is not sharp enough in flavor.
Cook until it "jells", and store in the
usual way. , . ".. V
Grapefruit Jelly Soak grapefruit
rinds two days in brine, then wash in
water until auite free from salt taste.
This removes much of the bitter taste.!
The time of soaking may be longer or
shorter, according to taate and con
venience. Cut the freshened rinds into
long narrow strips. This is most easily
done with scissors. For every , pound
of these strips allow one quart water,
and cook until the strips are tender.
Add one quart sugar for every quart
water and let stand over nighL Then
boil up again; and add lemon juice or
citric acid to give a pleasant tart fla
vor. Boll until the strips look clear.
Then strain the Juice from the peels,
cook it until it jells when dropped
from- a spoon and store like any jelly.
Use with- breakfast muffins or as a
dressing for fruit cocktails.
Jellied grapefruit marmalade make
as above but add to the jelly a small
portion of the cooked rinds (cut a sec

blespoons of rlnd-shreds to each glass

Candied grapefruit rinds. Leave . the
strips of rind (drained from the syrup
as above) on the strainer for a few
hours - (or overnight) to dry a little,
then roll in granulated sugar, as use
for "nibbling purposes" for luncheons
or card parties, or "carry lunch" boxes.
Some housekeepers find it an econ
omy at this season to candy all "stray"
orange", lemon or grape fruit rinds for
future use in fruit .cakes, mincemeat,
cake decorations or steamed puddings.
The process is simpler than It Bounds

while breakfast is being prepared.

Next morning boil up and add another
cup of sugar. Repeat this until the
sugar has thoroughly soaked into the

It would be Interesting to go among
the Indian descendants today, especially
among those who do the highest grade
of farming, and get their Indian corn
recipes, but it would take time and
great discretion, and one would need
to be privately endowed to undertake
the task.
There were some French and Indian
combinations on the northern borders
of our country that were Interesting.
AU during the 18th century the French
of- Canada and New Orleans traveled
back and forth. In the long horseback
journeys of days the only food taken
was often parched corn ground, mixed
with manle sugar, and given the French
name much used in New Orleans today
for a cake of candy, namely, praline.

$7950 ; in round numbers, $1000 per
mile less for large mains than est!
mated cost for all sizes. Why such dis
crepancy? -
Again, the total number of miles of
the distribution system of the enliie
city December 31. 1912. was in round
numbers 316, cost $3,456,000. Do the
districts mentioned by Mr. Brewster
comprise one-half the system? If not,
why revise half the system, or spend
what half the system cost, to supply
these districts?
Xow, to guess some, and I am Invited
to guess rn the face of these figures, t
do not believe these districts comprise
l-25th of the distribution system of the
city, and if not, then less than $140,
000 should do the Job good for years
to come, "just how long no one can
safely state?" But certainly for a very
"remote period.
So Mr. Brewster Is answered with
1911 figures, although Mr. Daly savs
figures of value are not obtainable at
present.
Now, about meters, how will lifting
the restriction help the matter if me
ters are installed?s Every ounce of re
sistance will reduce the flow of water,
and meters certainly will not measure.
If the water is not forced through them.
This is a waste of mechanical or grav
ity energy.
But Mr. Brewster sees it differently.
The poor public, which doesn't know
what Is good for it, and which is wan
tonly wasted of that which is run
ning to waste, must be taxed by un
W Vi
n wvmmm
justly exorbitant water rents to pro
vide a fund to shackle itself, because
U cannot be trusted to deal squarely
and use In moderation the waste that ij
wasted.
Let us have a proper and Intelligent
adjustment of our service system, also
of water rates, to provide revenue for
the maintenance and operation of our
water system only, and distribute Ua
surplus to our people in a substantial
reduction of all flat rates for resi
dences, with, a correct cost rate of serv
ice to all large users through meters:
and encourage our citizens to beautify
their grounds with shrubs, flowers,
grasses, etc., and sprinkle all they need
when convenient; and I predict that the
shortage will be less, satisfaction more
general, and the need for waste inspect
ors abolished.
