Forecasting 0110 of the most sue
cejsful yearn In school work In Des
chutes county,' llio annual teachers'
Institute closed Friday afternoon
nfler n threo day session which was
featured, according to Souiity Super
intendent J. Alton Thompson, by n
spirit ot cooperation and fellowship
among tho.;o proscut, greater than
lias ever been noticeable here before.
Interest lu boys and girls' club
work should be taken by every per
ron engaged in educational work In
Oregon, whether actively directing
clubs or not, was the declaration ot
J. E. Calaran, in charge of club work
for the stato department of cduca
tlon, at the Deschutes county teach
crs 'Institute.
Club work for boys and girls Is a
national educational movement, but
ono in which Oregou is taking a lead
ing part. Raid Calavan, with great
Huccess due to the close cooperation
between Superintendent Churchill's
office and the agricultural college.
Projoct.s Numerous
Projects carried on by tho numer
ous clubs in Deschutes county Include
those of cookery and sowing, potato
growing, certified potato seed rais
ing, poultry raising, pork production.
calf and sheep raising, and canning
All of the clubs are now in the rural
schools, but tho club work will be
inaugurated in Deud soon, Calavan
stated.
Besides tho divisions mentioned
above, there are in Oregon clubs in
general agriculture, corn and potato
raising, gardening, dairy herd record
keeping, home beautiflcatlon, home
making, milk and angora goat rals
ing, rabbit raising, stock Judging and
others. Cooking is divided into home
and camp cookery, and the other
lines of work are subdivided
The adoption ot uniform standards
for measuring the work of pupils was
urged by .Professor Richardson of
V. of O. in his. address this morning,
"Measuring the Product of Our
Looms." To answer the argument
that mind cannot bo measured. Rich
ardfon stated that the purpose of
education Is, among other
;r things, to
produce changes In the pupils; that
these changes exist, and therefore
must exists In amounts, which can be
measured.
Graxlo Not Uniform
The futility of attempting to grade
pupils by Individual Judgment was
demonstrated In a table which
showed the gradesc given to a teacher
on (our examination papers, by seven
county superintendents. On this one
teacher's examination in United
States history, the grades ranged
from 4i to 91; and on geography,
reading and even arithmetic, the
variations were almoBt as great.
The possibility ot having uniform
standards for grading in various sub
jects was demonstrated.
Dr. George R.. Varney of I.Infleld
college spoke In tho morning, descrlb
ing the duty, ot the teacher In foil
ing and carrying forward civilization,
which has become a difficult tatk
since tho recent war.
