OF 1. 1 C. !,
H. W. 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,

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.

fices and factories. It also keeps

electricity anil industrial chemistry
will be included In the course. Special
kind when they leave the elementary
schools. 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. His
lungs were so severely affected that
consumption seemed inevitable, when
a friend recommended New Discovery.
We tried It, and Its ubc has restored
him to perfect health." Dr. King's
New Discovery Is the King of throat
and lung remedies. For coughs and
colds It has no equal. The first dose
gives relief. Try It. Sold ' under
