Integral Part of the Public School System. , '": By Colonel K. Hofer Editor The Manufacturers and -Industrial 'News. Bureau. In-, the past 25- years there has - come into existence an entirely new system of erecting "homes, .business and public buildings. The cement-concrete foundation and the.' steel super-structure have transformed the entire system of building factories, warehouses and bridge architecture.- - , ' , Just as revolutionary a change lias taken place and is in process of ;being perfected In the character of public education, that will ex tend over "the 'grammar school grades to ;the : utmost "realm of higher education. i This change in the foundation , and super-structure of public edu cation, as conducted by the state.' and affecting the so-called masses of the .people, begins with a ser ious consideration' of what might be called the public school plant, and"its effect upon the raw mater ' ial upon which public education exerts its transforming power. The public school plant must, roughly stated, consist of the lands upon which '.'"school and college buildings are "erected; second, the Gas Makes People Nervous and Restless Oas pressure In - the abdomen caus.es a restless, nervous feeling and prevents sleep.'

Perry, druggist, 115 S. Com mercial St. Adv. ' buildings themselves; and third, the equipment with which the edu cational courses are Imparted to the children. ' (Following is the 'article in the Western Journal of . Education re ferred to above:) First, we must consider the edu cational .value of the plant. Itself the grounds and buildings. Who does !not concede the important function performed by beautiful architecture, highly tlmproved lawns and terraces', leading up to the entire ensemble of the school district as an object of civic beau ty and the refinements of land scape gardening?' This influence of publie school and college build ings and -what is termed the campus, is very far-reaching in setting an example for a beautiful and refining character in the ap pearance of our cities and towns. What about utilizing this plant as a means of education and for its educational value? Neglected looking buildings, unsightly sheds and playgrounds,, neglected lawns j and shrubbery, ramshackle fences, rubbish-heaps, and general dis order should be no longer toler ated as object-lessons in public educational grounds and equip ment. Hence we come immediately to the practical value of considering the public school plant for its edu cational values. Here we open a door of information where edu cation itself and" the character of citizenship Imparted to the grow ing generations by their contact with the public school plant and its influence upon their -Uvea, be comes of 'the utmost value. ShalT we permit our children -to -growr up entirely Indifferent toward the public school plant, its mainten ance, and its influence upon their lives, or shall we havei them vitally interested in making .this plant a beautiful public property, appeal ing 'to the civic pride of the tax payers who provide it and own it as much as they, do their own homes? One California community known as San Mateo-Burlingame union high school district em bracing 50,000 population of home owners and working people, having elementary schools, junior and high schools and a junior college, has gone far to lay a new foundation for a public school system that should be ser lously'considered by other Califor nian and western communities. From 50 to .60 per cent of the older boys, from the eighth grade upwards, have been transformed into "working men, in their spare hours after school and vacation days, and are instructed In "all the trades needed to maintain the gTonnds and school buildings in perfect order, and are earning reg ular wages thirty, forty and, fifty cents an .hour, according. to fthllity or efficiency. Can you grasp what this means? All the labor of main taining the beautiful lawns, ter races, ' shrubbery, flowers,1, and grading, is done by the surplus tabor In the otherwise idle ,hofrs of J the growing boys and young men who are fitting .themselves for life citizenship and the obli gations , involved ,in ..maintaining homes and performing the neces sary labors of - tne community. They are learning to do , these things under Intelligent instruc tion. They feel the dignity of becoming skilled laborers, 'each, as far as possible. On a line, of in dustry for which he has a prefer-; ence, and will make his -life-work. This union high school district has training in manual labor, has shop equipment on all lines, gives credit .for educational value of labor when proper, does not slight grade or class work in the regu lar courses required by the public school system, but it goes a step further. It gives boys who want to work a chance to be employed a preferential chance, and not as charity, but as good business," and on a fair wage scale, it goes a step further in ascertaining as early as possible what is the occu pation or trade the boy feels he would like to follow in his career as a citizen. He is started ! early on the life job that is going to be his. That job is dignified. He is given practical instruction in any pne of "a orO trades, corelatlve occupations In metaf-work, .wood "work" ' cement-work, . electricar work, building, decoration . and landscape gardening. What fs the net result? As al ready stated, there is no slighting or slackening of interest in the text-book grades and courses of study. If anything, the boyH who work at trades 50 to 60 per cent of the entire enrollment above the eighth grades working at trades in which they become skilled by the time their public school career is ended, and they are full-fledged wage earners in every Bense of the word they are keener and rank higher as students for their indus trial training; ' The hours put in after school, on Saturdays, week ends and seasonal holidays and Mrs. H.

' " " This highly practical work, under which last year the hieher grades of working boys put in 50,- 000. hours' time at 50 cents per hour, speaks for Itself. . Useful secondary buildings costing $30, - 000 .were finished as good-workmanlike jobs by the boys who re ceived 50 jents an hour. As many hours were put in by. the 30 and 40 cent groups. These latter are required to deposit one-half of their earnings in the public sav ings bank. They may spend the other half under parental' direc tion. The 50 cent group aro al lowed to deposit their money, Jn the local banks, and do largely, as they please with It. But all of these boys are saving money, and all have spent money of their own earning and of which they know the value. They are not idling away their time after school, nor chasing around in gangs on Sat - urdays. A new seriousness of purpose and dignity has beei-wl- ded to their lives.

This brief statement of the sys tem of voluntary industrial democ racy, as there is no law requir ing common or skilled labor at the hands of students, has been de veloped in actual practice for the past 15 years at San Mateo-Bur-llngame. It was established by Principal W. L. Glasscock, backed by the school board, sustained by the public sentiment of the com munity. Mr. Glasscock has a dis dain of the title of "professor." and prefers to be called plain "Bill;" he, is a worker himself, besides being a lifelong pedagog. He is building a number of beau tiful homes in the most beautiful suburbs and districts of California. He wears the garb of a working man, and can take a full hand at any of the numerous forms of common labor performed in main tenance of 'the grounds and the p)ant. I have tried to state the plain facts, which are open to investi gation of educators. k All over our eountry. Industrial education is growing in demand. In many communities it has been applied and the problem partially solved. This is the first paper of a series on this subject, is written to em phasize the idea that a new foun dation is being laid for public education, and that it .has grown out of the needs of the taxpayers getting a better product in the way of efficient citizenship a cit izenship that is going to be better for nine-tenths of the population Constituting the average commun ity. This is to be accomplished by practical insl ruction alonp. in dustrial lines that are nearest at hand in the upkeep of the school plant itself. cue sen s hold i; MEET Silverton Young People's Or ganizations May Unite at Later Date SILVERTON. Or.. Sept. 13. (Special.) At the union meeting of Trinity and St. John's Young Peoples societies, which was held at Trinity church Sunday evening, it was decided that for the pres ent both societies would act inde pendently. Some time ago the two churches formed a temporary union with a permanent organization in view for a later date. Following this there was some discussion of. the societies uniting.' and for this pur pose the joint meeting was held Sunday evening. At this time, however, it was decided that a union of the societies, before a permanent union of the churches was perfected, would be prema ture. Victor Madsen, vice president of the Trinity society, acted as chair man in. the absence of M. Starruste president. The suggestion that the two so cieties meet alternately every other month and that the society entertaining will have as guests the members of the other society was adopted. H. T.

Hunt & Shaller Meat Mkt., 263 N. Com'I. () 24 HOUR SHIFT MAY "ADDED AT LIME PLANT ( Contiased frost :psc every ton of lime. That was a lot - Going StfU Stronger v Mr. Moore found yesterday that the plant is far behind in tU or ders." A second eight" hour shift has been put on, the two shifts producing about 70 tons of lime a day, or about two car loads. It was honed that with two shifts it might catch up with the orders. -. v But on Saturday 100 tons were sold, a considerable part of it to farmers who came with their trucks and wagons and -hauled away their lime. So there will likely have to be another shift put on; running the plant 24 hours a day And even that may not turn the trick, for a new lime circular is on the press; to be reaay for the state fair, and this, will hammer home the absolute necessity - of lime. Mr. Moore read the proofs for this circular yesterday, . It looks like a duplicate plant is not far in the distance. It will surely be close. If the petition b& fore the public service commission, to be heard on-the 23 rd, is grant ed giving a $1 a ton rate on the lime rock, and $1.50 a ton milling in transit rate. That is, passing the ground lime on to the farmers along the Southern Pacific lines at 50 cents a ton. There Is room for a duplicate plant by the side of the present one. The use of handling mach inery and appliances may run both plants with the number of prison ers now employed in operating the one plant. And it would not take more than four plants, with the use of mod ern appliances, and machinery to make the state lime plant, running 24 hours a day, pay the entire cost of the penitentiary - And this is coming; sure as any thing can be. So Sam Moore, father ot. the state lime plant,- has reasons for being pleased. He has never charged one cent for his work, and he does not want a cent, nor is he a candidate for any office. He would not take any office. He just got the idea that he could do something in his day and gen eration for the good of his cctin- .nrt RtAte and district, apdiUr satisfaction' he has-in seeing bir thing worked and working iout-ifj he dreamed. Is all the recomp6Ts3 he wants and he considers ,tlu.t worth, more than arfything mocey could buy; mora niany jof ru. could give him in hVt ,4 orjsatb- faction.
