HOmecrOn and Graft.

The "homecroft" idea. referred to by
George II. Maxwell i'm his address be-
fore the Biennial Convention of the
General Federation of Women's Clubs,
is closely allied to the "hOme arts and
crafts" propaganda. in which so many,
i'm and out of the federation, are inter
ested. The homecrOfter owning his
home and little patch of ground-an
acre or two. more or less-is of all
persons the one most likely to he inter
ested i'm home crafts-little lines of
manufacture. which, added to the pro-
duce of his ground, may afford sun
port to his family. either constantly or
as substitute for wage-earning EN-
ployment when some great shop OF
factory may he suspended. Aided,
perhaps, by Il little gas engine or cleo
tric motor, he may have choice of an
infinite variety of crafts. i'm which he
and his family may proftably engage.
Here is combination which seems to
offer relief from the demoraliZing and
devitalizing conditions of our present
factory system: also q mode of multi

This is good, healthful optimism.
There never was time when opportu-
mites of all shapes, sizes and colors
hobbed up on every corner as they do
today And they are not confined to
any particular country or locality.
They are waiting everywhere Under
the rapidly ch"nging Industrial and
economical conditions they are spring
ing up in odd and Out-of-the-way
places. Old settlements-old villages,
mOss-grown and for years silent as
the cemetery that clings to their
skirts. are finding new youth I'm the
revival of occupations and simple in
dustres which twenty years ago were
deemed impossible. The abandoned
farms of New England-The farms
that were left tenantless because it
was thought that the only opportun-
tiles for success were TO be found in
the West-are receiving new leases of

PENDULUM is SWINGING BACK
For a full half century the American
people have been mOney-mad. Every
thing has been sacrificed to the one
idea of accumulation. The dollar sign
became the sole badge of honor, and a
mans success was measured not by
what he made of himself. not by what
he accomplished for his fellows or the
world at large, but by the size of his
pile.
This standard of success has warp
ed the Imagination of the whole peo-
pie. The merchant and professional
man bend every energy to the pill
ing up of gold bricks. And the farmer,
not to be outdone, lies awake nights
thinking how he may get more land.
He has now more than he can till,
but the land lust has seized him and
home comforts and a quiet life are sold
in the market in order that the line

many years, and 1t requires careful
observation to detect any change. But
reaction has set in. The pendulum Is
swinging back. A growing sentiment
in favor of moderate success. a quiet
life and home surroundings is appar-
ent. With this comes desire TO get
back TO original principles to abandon
the cities and seek the healthfui life
of the farm and the village.
The growth of our cities has been
abnormal-the direct result of alb
normal TRANSFORMATION conditions. "To
him that hath shall he given. and TO
him that hath not even that which he
hath shall be taken away" has been
the working policy of modern COM
mercial transportation companies.
The small town has been sacrificed to
the city This was the natural result
of competition. In centers where
numerous railroads meet. low rates
are given to both the in-going and OUT
going freight. but where there is but
one road. the traffic is taxed all that 1t
will bear. This condition has had a

the boys and girls described the beef
type, the dairy type, and various
breeds OF cattle, the mu. n and wool
types of sheep, the principal breeds Of
draft horses, and some of the stand

indeed surprising. At the close of the
recitation the c'lss was taken to a
barn i'm the village w ere vc",. fine
roadsters were owned. The owner was
not at home, but the teacher b. Il
standing permission to take t horses
from the barn in order that the class
might examine them. A fine Hamble-
tonian mare was led into the yard and
examined critically by the pupils and
criticised by them, the different points
being brought out by skillful question
ing on the part of the teao 3.
Fem this place the class went to a
livery barn where spls ldid black
PercheTon stallion was stabbed for the
day. A member of the class had dis
covered the horse as he was ,eing
driven in from another to- II miles
away, and following the driver to the
barn had got permission for the class
to examine him. When the livery
barn was reached the driver brou. C
bis stallion out into the street, put
him through his PAGES, and helped the
teacher in calling attention to his good
points and the contrasts between I @
draft type and the roadster type of
horses, and allowed us to tie several
photographs. II was an instructive
lesson not only for the members
of the agricultural class. but for
the score or more of farmers
and townsmen who collected around
the livery stable. In much the
same way the local butcher is the in
structor in the high school. The class

the mutton sheep, or the different
classes of swine is taken to the butch

Keen Politics Out.

Every public-minded citizen should
make it known that he is absolutely
opposed to partisan, political control

and like town betterments. Nothing
can be more detrimental to such de-
velopment than the interference of
politics. Party responsibility, as n
remedy for municipal mismanagement,
has been prov "delusion and a

THE INDEPENDENT TOWN.

Make Each Rural Center Dependent
Upon Itself and Its Own Resources
There has lately developed a strong
sentiment looking to the improvement
of the home town-making eacl
community, as much aS possible
dependent upon itself and its own
resources and those of its sur
rounding country, and independ'
ent of the great centres which are
constantly striving to secure a portion
of the local wealth. This local self
sufficiency may be fostered by an in
dividual and cooperative determi'
nation to bring the town up to its
highest possible plane Of comfort, gen.
eral usefulness and beauty to its resi-
dents. This may be described as q
movement for civic improvement.
The accumulation of considerable
wealth i'm many American villages and
towns, during the last ten or twenty
years. the development of popular
education and the increase of leisure,
has given an opportunity for the per-
Torrance of public duties, such as
had not seemed to exist to the young
man or woman of the former gener-
alton. who. i'm the effort to secure a
livelihood and establish home had
given little thought to the duties or
citizenship and social responsibilities.
1t is only within comparatively
few years that, mature study mas
entered into any of the public-school
work. or even manual training. while
there are many who yet think that
such institutions as gymnaSlulnS,
baths. Fairgrounds, and even vacation
schools and free lectures are unneces-
sary time-consumers for the young.
Nevertheless the general movement
for better education along rural lines
and for backyard and street improve
ment. and the general betterment of
the village and town is rapidly in
creasing.
As an instance of this, even in such
n large city as St Louis, girls and
boys are given practical instruction in
gardening. through the Junior School
of Horticulture of the Missouri
Botanical Gardens The children are
permitted to sell their own products
n decided stimulus to their e--OrtS
and i'm this way many of them earn
considerable pocket money for vacation
time. This school has been i'm Oper-
alton for a number of years and is OF
great value to the citizens as well as
to the children of the city, the latter
Of whom would otherwise know practl-
Cally nothing of nature as country
children know il.
Even in Texas the school garden
and town Improvement idea has made
headway, although there has been
greater difficulty i'm obtaining popular
approval and support, possibly, than In
any other section of the country. owing
to the fact, perhaps, that the Lone
Star State has vast areas of unoc-
crpied land, and to the fact that the
influential majority has been but al
short time removed from the cattle
