Home Industry Movement at
Lents Gets Big Results.
Principal Hernhner Report " That
275 Pupils Earned Darins
Vacation, Aside From Garden and
Poultry Profits, Contains Interest
ing Data.
THE home industry movement at
Lents School is reaching a stage
of much importance, according-to the
report made by Principal A. F. Hersh
ner, who last week . discovered that
275 pupils of his school earned $2697
by individual effort1 during the vaca
tion period .this Summer. This sum
did not include the profits from home
gardening, estimated as high as $700,
nor of the Poultry Club's work.
The teachers at Lents School have
fostered the industry movement among
the pupils with amazing results. The
pupils obtained their Summer jobs
largely by their own effort, and one
energetic first-grade girl worked at
washing dishes at-3 cents a job. Others
went to the hop and berry fields and
made as high as $15 each. Others
milked or herded cows, worked in the
harvest fields, sold paper and other
wise did healthful outdoor work.
All of the 275 pupils who worked
during the Summer are back in school.
The sum made . by individual work
averaged about $9.80 a pupil, which is
more than enougn to buy the inci
dentals for the school year of each
student.
The Poultry Club has poultry valued
at more than $1000. the exhibit two
years ago being especially large and
estimated as worth $2000.
Many of the Lents School pupils have
worked good-sized gardens at home
from which the returns and profits are
only vaguely estimated at several hun
dred dollars. This was not included
in the $2697 reported by the students
in response to Principal Hershner's re
quest early in the year.
Mark Mayo, 15 years old, who worked
in the Eastern Oregon harvest fields,
led the boys with the amount earned,
which is over $50, and Clara Koski led
the girls with $45 earned picking hops
and berries.

Department work in the seventh and

ideals of individual freedom both sur
prised and delighted the staid New

rolled at Ladd, an average of nearly 39
to the teacher. Three hundred of these
are new. The persistent effort of each
pupil properly to direct self in all
school activities in order to actualize
the highest Individual efficiency, yet
not without a co-operative anxiety to
serve others Is constantly held before
the pupils of Ladd.

are temporarily called elsewhere to

ball teams and other games managed
by Miss Cranur. Soccer and football

hard surfaced streets, the only avail
able playground.
