V' J J A NEW FOITXPATTOX
Capitalizing the Educational Value
of Labor, as an. 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

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

ends and seasonal holidays and

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

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

ity. This is to be accomplished

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.

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-
