Stone, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A. at Portlan.l. writes the fllovirig entertaining article on the educational ideals f the V. M. C. A. for the Portland Chamber of Com merce Bulk-tin: Our eJucatioal system has not been leading the boys of Portland up to the thought of "making" a living so iruch a? It has the idea 'if "getting" one. The grammar grades provide for the high school or academy, and they In turn suggest the college or univer sity, where the man finally bbissom.-" out Into the professions. Here, Instead of creating wealth, they seek to secure a living In fees or salary as professional men, or from profits, interest on wealth already cre ated or from the rise In value of natural resources. If the young men do not enter the professions ancl only a limited num ber can) their Idea is to go into "bus iness" as an agent or trader, but prac tically never to become a producer or a creator of wealth. Mining has been considered a gam ble; the boy has been educated away from agriculture; he has had no Ideals of making or creating anything, so of course manufacture does not apply to him. The so-called culture education of the schools has fitted the Oregon boy to see in the forest not furniture and finished products of wood, but tim ber to be held for a rise or sold for a commission; In the clay bank not brick, tile, cement or paint to be pro duced by work, but a chance to gain and hold areas for a profit. We are ever boasting of our great natural resources, but our education a! system has trained our boys not In shop work, drawing, natural sciences and mathematics to fit for taking these resources and by work turn them into real wealth, but rather to consider them only as something to be exploited for their private benefit. In saying this, it Is not Intended to urge that the literary, professional and commercial schools of all grades are worthless or not worth all they have cost ' On the contrary, they each minister t j a class, and are, generally speaking, invaluable. It Is only Intended te urge that they are one-sided, that they only partially meet the needs of the situation, and that their theories and plans and methods are such that It is impossible for them to meet It completely. Nor Is it intended to Im ply thnt the public schools are not doing the work they are arranged to Uo, In an effeciont manner. On the contrary, asaln, the buildings .averago far better, the equipment is many times better, the courses are more compleet and more logically related and the teachers much better prepar ed and certainly no less conscientious t'lan ever before in the history of the city. It is only suggesting that, In the In- atul strengthening this work. This year the school board has taken a decided step In advance, es tablishing the Portland School of Trades, having selected as principal of the work Mr. H-imilton. a man of thorough training and experience, who will have four teachers associated with him. The work is to be located In the Atkinson school. The equipment and machinery are of the very best and latest design. Uy many thought, ful manufacturers and business men of the city It Is believed that this .school means great things for the in dustrial life and welfare of Portland. The board of education makes the following official statement In respect to the work of the Portland School of 'Trades: "The object of this school will be to terest of the common people and of fllI.nsn ,tl.U(.t,m t tne ,)0y3 of thb the city, the kinds of schools must be multiplied, that the educational scheme must be broadened, and that the work of the lower schools must city In some trade that they may ba better fitted for their life work. Op portunity will be given for instruction of the following trades: Carpentry, have much more bearing upon the. la-(,;ll)ilH,t maklnff. ,,attfrn maknff, moulding, electrical construction, ma- bor of the people There Is constant complaint that the schools do not fit children for any ordinary duties In the stores and of- chine shop practice, mechanical and architectural draughting and plumbing.

If they get work, it amounts to little and too often leads to nothing. All the conditions taken together almost force children to keep In the school system and go on toward the professional and managing vocations which are more than full, and for which they lack adaptation; or else be attention will be given to these sub- Jtcta as they relate to or have bearing on the trade work."

Thomas W. Lee, until about two years ago general passenger agent of thfi Delaware, Lackawanna & West ern railroad, with headquarters In New York, Is the first man In the world to farm by electricity. Mr. Lee owns the Bungalow, a tract of more than 2000 acres In the vicinity of Idaho Falls. All that Tom Lee has to do now when he wishes to farm Is to push a button. Electricity does the rest. The ground In the Bungalow was broken for cultivation two years ago. The first season It returned a profit on grain. It Is fenced, has fine buildings, machinery and stock and is managed by a man to whom sys tem, is as necessary as breath. One year ago Mr. Lee utilized steam, but that proved too slow and too expensive. This year the grain of the Bungalow will be reaped, stacked, threshed, sacked and made ready for market by electricity. Mr. Lee has Installed private tele phone and electric wires. These wires, erected at his own expense, are stretched two miles from the main line of the power company. These poles carry throe wires, which are used for both power and lighting pur poses. "Water Is pumpetl. grindstones turn ed, saws, corn shellets, root Slitters, hay forks, hay cutters, cider mills, grist mills, ensilage cutters, cement mixers, turning lathes, ice cream mix ers, churns and separators are all run by electricity. A 25 horse power elec tric motor accomplishes all theso things. This season the entire crop of the Bungalow, aggregating 2000 tons of hay, alfalfa and clover, 40,000 bushels of grain, and potatoes and other pro ducts, will be placed on trucks and with cable reels be handled with greater facility than it could ever be handled with human hands. The cost of steam, with the coal and labor, was much greater than that of electricity. During the threshing season labor alone cost $50 a day for 25 days. Mr. Lee figures that the in stallation of electricity means a sav- j ing for the first year of $2,200 on first I cost, and thereafter the cost of op-1 crating will be about one-fourth the; former figures. During the threshing j season the cost with the electric cur-1 i rent will be only $400, as against j $1600 with steam. Aside from the saving, Mr. Lee says I the poer Is reliable, constant and doesn't go on strike; the danger of fire is eliminated and the satl.ifae-! Hon constitutes not the smallest fea-j ture. . ; subjects, and Is this season enlarging at the recent primaries. In llocor of Cheyenne. Cheyenne has had a national forest named, after it. President Rooxevi It has issued an executive order pre scribing that hereafter the l.'imv Creek national forest and tint part of the Medicine I'ow national forest In Wyoming shall be known as the Cheyenne national forest, says the Cheyenne Tribune. The order recites that It is not Intended to Interfere with or disturb the rights which the war department has under existing executive orders in the Crow Creek national forest, which will form part of the Cheyenne national forest. Why James Lee Got Well. Everybody In Zanesville, O., knows Mrs. Mary Lee, of rural route 8. -She writes: "My husband, James Lee, firmly believes he owes his life to the use of Dr. King's New Discovery.
