' ' ALDERMAN IS AUTHOR OF , "SCHOOL CREDIT WORK L, R. Alderman, superintendent of the Portland public schools, has writ ten a book. It is called "School Credit for Home Work," and is published by the Houghton-Mifflin Company, Bos ton; $1.00 net. . The book gives to the nation an Ore gon idea. It explains both why credits should be .given at school for useful tasks performed at home, and how the method of "school credits for home work" may be introduced. The author says: --.:"'. '"This book is written in the hope that parents, teachers and children mav be helned to work together more joyously and harmoniously on the real problems of life." Mr. Alderman, a,s an educator, recog nises in his book the educational -value of learning to be useful at home. Sew ing, sweeping, making fire, baking bread, caring for and milking the cow, rising early, attending to the teeth, caring for personal neatness the hun dred and one things essential to a wholesome standard of living and serv ice are noted as proper subjects for school credits. Boral Districts Teatured. This, it will be said, is adapted par ticularly and almost exclusively to rural districts. But beds are to be made, dishes to bo washed, errands to be run cheerfully, kindlings to be split, and habits of personal neatness are to be learned even in town, u . ' Many of the results of the plan as used in Oregon and Washington are related in the narcaTtya- Schedules that have been employed $!th valu able results in a number of schools are reproduced. The book never deviates from its theme, which is that to teach boys and girls to be useful increases assurance of their becoming good and efficient citizens. How did the idea of "School Credit for Home Work" originate? "The idea first came to me from memories of my own home, where tasks were assigned to us children and were made to seem important," says Superintendent Alderman, in his Intro duction. "With my father, the work was al ways carried on in the spirit of a game, and the game would be made as inter esting as any other game; in the mean time something was being' done that was worth while. ' i Talue to Parents. , "Among many other memories there comes one of our laying a rail fence by moonlight, after a freshet had taken the other fence away; when . the game was to get the Mne completed before the moon went down. I can still see father laying rail on rail, and enjoy his glowing enthusiasm at our accom plishment. The fence still stands. Be Bides seeking to make the work inter esting in itself, father had a device to put a value on time for bis boys by giving us free time after the . tasks were completed to do as we saw fit. "The desire, after I became a teach er, to put myself in the enviable posi tion of my father as an Inspiring in fluence with children was the motive that took my thoughts out of th Da 0 Q For every brightening. and cleaning purpose Gold Dust is used ai least three times a day in millions of homes. ,r Yet there are many thousands of housewives who think Gold Dust is only for a few uses Gold Dust should be used for cleaning everything.
