Proposed Agricultural and
Domestic Science Features

trained for their work. Such train
ing is now not only for the benefit
of the individual: it has come to be
a national necessity. J. j. Hill
says in recent article on this sub
ject: "Anyone who has studied the
growth and decline Of nations, and
would read our own industrial fa-
ture, must be convinced that in
struction in farm economy and man.
agement should become an indis-
pensible part of the educational
work of this country
The special work in agriculture
in charge of a competent instructor
would include such subjects as,
Soils and tillage; Farm crops and
rotation; Selection Of seeds; Vege-
table gardening; Fruit culture; Ag-
ricuitural botany; Breeds of live
stock; Fertilizers and drainage etc.
Experimental work would be con.
Quoted on a suitable piece of land
for that purpose.
Education should prepare, as far
as possible, for the real work OF
life. Girls should be educated fo1
the work of the home. Our schools
have untitled many girls for this
; work. There is no greater accom-.
plishment than that Of being good
home-maker, and it is the aim OF
the domestic science department to
give instruction and training in
this important art. The course
would include such subjects as,
Sewing and the study of textiles;
Cooking and the study of foods;
Household management; Sanitation
Home decorations, etc.
So much for the educational end
of it. Now for the business end.
The cost of maintaining the pub.
lie schools is about $4,000, fully one
third of which is paid by the state,
so that only about $4,000 is raised
by local taxes. This maintains the
plant consisting of five buildings
with equipment, pays the corps oil
twenty seven teachers, the services
of three janitors, and for supplies
including all reading matter for one
thousand children. This also in
cludes the cost of permanent i'm.
provements that have to be made
from year to year, such as laying
cement walks and installing new
heating plants: About $4,000 were
spent for such improvements this
year. So efficiently and econom.
ically have the financial affairs oil
the district been administered by
the board of education that in spite
of considerable increase in the
school system, the tax rate 70,

In a good woman Of her is all you've

in she couldn't have what they call
a career and be good woman at the

thing on earth is good wife and a
good mother. That's a. career that's
higher than any man can aspire to. and
the good woman who don't get up
to that level has missed something in
life.
Anyhow. the maxim of a good wom-

Arthur j. Fisher in Borrowed
SpectacleS.''

1t depends upon the glasses.
Seen thru the glasses of sourness
and suspicion the butler is dishon-
est, the unfortunate friend an i'm
poster, and the wife untrue. But
if viewed thru the spectacles of
kindliness and confidence the butler
is honest, the friend trustworthy
and the wife faithful. In "Bor-
rowed Spectacles' Arthur j. F Fisher,
the impersonator who appeared at
the Presbyterian church last Fri
day evening, succeeded admirably
in proving this contention. And
not only that. but what is better
still he proved that the way of the
hopeful optimist is the only way,
that only thru his glasses can we
come to find and understand and
appreciate those with whom we live
and labor. And because Fisher
helped us to see that, we are glad
he came, and we trust that he may
continue for a long time in his
good work.
