On-con I In the march of the conturtes up the sr i'? i'f human at:a;niiient. education &rn the workers, faith in mankind twats the time. hile coni-1 mandlng personalities rally the hosts at)ut the standards of new ideas, j In this course of progress every j man who has dared to try out some dynamic Idea for the betterment of1 mankind, has had his problems to solve. Great statesmen have come to look upon the home as the funda mental institution of civilization, and the school as the supplement of the home, the latter always keeping in close touch with the home life, and bringing into its work such material as would make the work of the school real. This is probably the vision that prompted L. R. Alderman, former City Superintendent of the Portland schools, to initiate a plan whereby some recognition might be given the child for the home work that he does outside of schoo1! hours, in order to change his attitude toward the com mon every day duties of life and to bring the school and the home into closer relationship. It is not the purpose of the writer to give a comprehensive treatise on the home credit plan, history of its adoption in many of the states of the union, and in several foreign coun tries, but to point out some of the re sults of his own experience. During the year 1910 I visited the famous Spring Valley school In Polk county, then under the supervision of A. I. O'Reilly, now County Club Lea der of Twin Falls county, Idaho, and studied the plan as first class evi dence. Encouraged by the splendid morale and interest displayed by parents and pupils. I decided that the Fair View school in the adjoining district, would be benefited by the same system. Since I was the third grade teacher employed there in the same year, I was somewhat dubious about adopt ing a new scheme. However, I am happy to say that the system produc ed marvelous results, and I was re employed for the ensuing year. In addition to the carrying on of the work satisfactorily in the school room, they did the chores nights and mornings at home and, in this way, began a system of industrial educa tion that surprised and pleased the patrons. In nearly all homes where Home Credit was tried out, the par ents found their children anxious to do work that heretofore had seemed a drudgery. The Spring Valley school plan was changed in some re spects to meet the needs of the com munity. Tardiness on the part of any pupil doing the work meant a loss of so many credits already earned. Dur ing the previous year witheut home credits, the school had fifty-seven tar dies. The home credit year was re warded with a record attendance of ninety-five per cent and only eight tardies. Part of the credits were given for sleeping with the windows open, care of teeth and hair, washing dishes, do ing errands, mending clothes, etc. In many schools the pupils were given a half holiday each month for the completion of a certain number of credits. During the following two years I continued the plan throughout all of the grades in the Buena Vista schools. For eight years I have followed up this plan to the end that the bond be tween school and home might be brot into a closer union, and the testimon ials of hundreds of parents convince me that my efforts have not been in vain. Industrial club work and home credit have fulfilled a pressing need of the age. The Oregon Tubercular Associa tion, the Red Cross, and other agen cies have adopted many vital points taken from the Home Credit Health charts. The coming generation will consist of the boys and girls of today. If they grow up strong physically, men tally, morally and spiritually, this country will be well taken care of in their day, but if they are dwarfed and corrupted then we may look with un easiness to the future as the founda tion of society will be placed upon a bed of shifting sands. Those objecting to the Home Credit plan that plan whereby the daugh ter is taught to wash the dishes for her tired mother instead of spending all her time at the piano, or occupy ing the plush chair in the parlor, per haps forget that development of char acter is the great purpose of life. What a responsibility Is given those who mold the lives of boys and girls.

The hotel was closed for many years after Colonel Broadwat er's death. The poem was written hy Mr. Spetu-er for the re-opening by J. August Heinze. who purchased it and restored it to its pristine glory. When the war started it closed again, only the landscape gardner being in charge. The poem Is as follows: With hurtful moth and baneful spider Alone I trod thy silent hall Where Time IVath's great derider Was spreading wide his dusty pall. 1 sadly watched thy fleeting glory. As. phantom-like it fades away; While Time and spider spun the story; Broadwater's seen its palmiest day. Some Prescient angel softly told me As tearless sorrow held me fast, 'A day of resurrection surely Its pristine glory Is not past." Full well the sturdy master bullded In w ilds, Egyptian-like of old. His homely phrases were not gilded, His plighted word was good as gold. Again thy fountains softly saying. As weird the phantoms gaily flit. "God bless our second time for play ing When Fashion's hand our lamps relit." The guests regather round rejoicing; Joy reigned supreme with laughter loud; And all give praise, their spirits voic ing Glory to him of whom we're proud. From pain, disease or blighting sor row Stranger seekest thou relief? Forgot thy cares be, and tomorrow Health, wealth and merriment achieve.
