V'incennes, which was reached at 7:10.
This flight of two aud cue-half bouts'

Miss Cunningham was joined n her

tbe women raised a autlloient sum to
pmcbase tba estate making up tbe
money from contributions received

How can the sohool help I ho horns?
Mow cau it help the home istaMish

performance of home duties, so that
tbey will he efficient and joyful home
helpers. One way is for the school to
take tutu account home Industrial
work and honor it. It Is my convic
tion, base i upon careful aud ooutio-
ous observation., that the school cau
ureatly increase tt.e interest the child
will take in home industrial work by
making it a subject of consideration
ats-hu il. A teacher talked of saw

do rnninii, aud they wanted tu learn
to iron neatly. She talked of work
itig w it h tools, aud both girls aud
boys made htrd-lioutes, kit", ami
other thloKS of lot "rests. A school
liar ' en was planned in a city, aud
one of the boys wss employed to tdow
tbe land. Seventy-H te cblMreu were
watching fur him to come with tbe
team. At lat be came driviug around
the comer. He could mauage a team.

tbe sled and hitch on to the plow,
and then as be "man fasbiou" lines

drove the big team around the field,
all could feel tbe children admira
tion for tbe boy who could do some
thing worth while. 1 have seen girl
who could make better t read or set a
table nicely, get tbe real admiratioo
of her schoolmates.
Tbe school can make better home
builders It can help by industrial
work done In tbe scIkhjI, . but as that
is already receiving consideration of
tbe press and in a few schools, 1 shall
not in this short article treat of it.
The plan I bare in miud will cost
no money, will take little school
time, and can be pot Into operation
in every Dart of the state at ouce It
will create a demand for expert in
struction later on. It is to give tbe
school credit for industrial work done

fore tbe committee on libraries of tbe
bouse to complain thai the present
management of the estate was charg
ing 2- cents admission to tbe grounds,
in alleged violations cf tbe agreement
with tbe Ofixinai trustees of the es
tate, which provided when tbe trust
fund reached 1100.000 there should
be no admittance fee. He declared
that tbey bad granted ooe steamship
line a monopoly of the carrying of
passengers by .water route. He as
serted tbat tbe trust fund ia now far
above 1100,000 and tbat tbe entrance
fee keeps out penniless but patriotio
citizens, while, tbe .boat company,
which baa the monopoly of the trip
by tbe Potomac, oharges an excessive
price 60 cents for the round trip
from Washington. Lowder declared
tbat in 1907 Mount Vernon was visi
ted by 160,000 people, all of whom
paid 20 cents entrance fee, and
bought (j",000 post (cards. He stated
tbat tbe associatioun realized S15.000
on aouvenira alone. He wants tbe
government to purchase tbe state and
maintian it, keeping open bouses for
all Americans. Miss Ann Pamela
Cunningham, founder aod first re
gent of the Mount Vernon Ladle's
association in the union, who held
that post from December 2, 18."! to
June 1, 1871. in her farewell address
said in part: "Ladies, tbe borne of
Wahington is in your charge; see to
it that you keep tbe borne of Wash
ington. Let no irreverent hand
change; no vandal band desecrate t
with lingers of progress. Those who
go to the home in which he lived and

Upon you rests tbe duty."
A Ulio Invasion
A coord ug to reports a scheme is
ou foot to trsnsplant some bippopot
ouii from tbe jungles of Africa to
tbe swauips ot Louisiana. It 1b tbe
theory that tbe hippos would clear
tbe swamps and bayous of much
noxious vegetation. At the same time
the hippos, or at least tbe surplus
stock, could be killed for the table
puipusos. The hteak of the boppo
is sid it to be tender, nourishing
and palatable. It can be
sold for two cents a pound. Whether
that price is f. o. b. New Orleans or
is au east African quotation is not
disclaimed. Which ever it may be it is
safe to say tbat the hippo invasion
will not lesson tbe demand for alfal
fa fed eastern Oregon beef.
the teaober aod the parents will have
much in common. Every borne has
tbe equipment for indost.iial work
and baa somebody who uses it with
more or leaf skill.
Tbs school has made so many de
mands on tbe borne that the parents,
have in some cases felt tbat all the
time of toe child most be given to
tbe school, but an important thing
tnat the child needs along with tbe
school work is established habits for
home making, and these hibits can
come o-ly from real borne making.
What ooe does depends as moch upon
habit aa upon knowledge. Tbe criti
cism tbat is most ofteo made upon in
dustiial work at school is that it is so
different from tbejwork done at home,
which after all is for htm and tbe
home the most important thing in the
world. Juvenile institutions find tbat
they must be careful not to instutiou
alize the child to tbe extent tbat he
may not be contented in a real home.
In my opinion it will be a great
thing for the child to want to help his
parents do the task tbat needs to be
done and to want to do it in the best
possible wav. Tbe reason that so
many country boys are now the lead
ing men of affairs ia because early in
life they baa the responsibility of
home thrust upon tbem. 1 am sure
tbat tbe motto "Everybody Helps,"
is a good one.
Rut one says, "How can it be
brought about? How can the school
give credit for tbe Industrial work
done at borne?" This may be acoorn
plisbbd by printed slips asking the
homes to take account of the work
tbat the child does at home under the
instruction of the home, and explain
ing that credit will be given this
work on the school record. These
slips must be prepared for children
according to age so that the child will
not be asked to do to much, for it
must be clearly recognized that chil
dren must have time for real play.
Tbs required ' tasks must not be too
arduous, yet tbey must be real tasks.
They must not be tasks tbat will put
extra work on parents except in tbe
matter of instruction and observa
tion. They may well call for the care
of animals, and should include gar
den work for both boys aud girls.
Credit iu sohool tor home industrial
work, with tbe parents consent,
should count as much as any one
study in school.
Tu add interest to the work, ex
hibitions should be gitfcu at stated
times so tbat all may learo from each
other and tbe best be the model of
riendsof the various camlbWo

ter from Washinwtin to the Oetrolt
Journal, written by Edward il. Clark,
a atall correspondent, and reprinted
apparently with the approval and I it -rieremnent
of the paper, by "The
i'ostmsalers' Advocate," published
at Washington, I). C. The letter says
in part :
"PoHtmaMer Ceneral Frank II.
Hitchcock has submitted to I'resldeut
Taft for sanction the most far reach
lug civil service plan ever conceived
by a tSnveruiiient ollk-lal. President
Taft has been asked to taae the nee
essary preliminary action which will
lift every second and third class Post-
office iu the cnuutry nut of politics
and establish it firmly ou the bants of
civil service. In addition, Mr. Hitch
cock has suggested o the President
that all rout masters of first-class
offices shall be retained in the service
despite the rleas of tte politicians,
provided, t'f course, that tbe officials
are acceptable to the communities
wbicb they serve, aod have proved
to the Department that they have
been falthrul to their work and have
administered their offices In the In
terest of economy.
"Not only have these recommenda
