A Startling Statement.

The most startling statement as to
the advantage of the dairying indus
try that we have seen is In recent
article by Jas. e. Downing, OF the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. It Is contained In the follow
ing paragraph:
1T has been ascertained that ap-
proximately 1886 worth Of fertility
Is removed from the soil with the sale
of every ton of wheat, while with
every ton of corn that Is sold, ap-
proximately $3.50 worth Of fertility
Is lost to the soil; but In the case OF
dairying, where butter is made and
where all of the by-products are fed
to the pigs and calves, 1t is found
that only SO cents worth Of fertility
Is removed with each ton OF butter
sold. The commercial value Of each
ton Of wheat at rs cents a bushel is
approximately $24.75, The CONNER
clal value of a ton of butter at rs
cents a pound is $500. For each 800
worth of wheat that is sold from the
soil $S4.5O worth Of fertility is taken
off the farm, but for every 500
worth OF butter that is sold only
cents worth Of fertility is removed
from the soil"

in every part of the state at once.
1t will create a demand for expert
instruction later on. 1t Is to give
school credit for industrial work
done at home. The mother and
father are to be recognized as teach
ers, and the school teacher put into
the position of one who cares about
the habits and tastes of the whole
child. Then the teacher and the par
ents will have much In common.
Every home has the equipment for
Industrial work and has somebody
who uses 1t with more or less Skill
The school has made so many de-
mands on the home that the parents
have, in some case, felt that all the
time of the child must be given to the
school. But an important thing
that the child needs along with
school work Is established habits Of
home making, and these habits can
come only from real home making.
What one does depends as much up
on habit as upon knowledge. The
criticism that Is most often made
upon industrial work at school is
that 1t is so different from the work
done at home that II does not put
the child into that sympathetic re-
lation with the home, which, after
all, is for him and the home the most
important thing in the world. Juv-
emile institutions find that they
must be careful not to institutional
ize the child to the extent that he
may not be contented In real home
In my opinion 1t will be a great
thing for the child to want to help
his parents do the task that needs
to be done and to want to do 1t In
the best possible way. The reason
that so many country boys are now
the leading men Of affairs is because
early in life they had the RESPONSE
bility OF home thrust upon them. I
am sure that the motto, Everybody
Helps, Is a good one,
"But one says, How can 1t be
brought about? How can the school
give credit for industrial work done
at homer This may be accomplish
ed by printed slips asking the homes
to take account of the work the child
does at home under the instruction
of the home, and explaining 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 too much, for It must
be clearly recognized that children
must have time for real play. The

required tasks must not be too ar
duous, yet they must be real tasks.
They must not be tasks that will put
extra work on parents except in the
matter of instruction and observa-
tion. They may we'll call for the
care of animals, and should include
garden work for both boys and girls.
Credit in school for home industrial
work with the parents consentI
should count as much as any one
study in school.
ITO add interest to the work, ex-
hibitions should be given at stated
times so that all may learn from
each other and the best be the model
for all. The school fairs In Yamhill,
Polk, Benton, Lane, Wasco and
Crook counties, together with the
school and home industrial work
done at Eugene, have convinced me
most thoroughly that these plans
are practicable, and that school work
and home work, school play and
home play, and love for parents and
respect for teacher and fellow pupils
can best be fostered by more COM
plete cooperation between school
and home, so that the whole child is
taken into account at all times"

NOT ONLY GOVERNMENT
BUT GROWERS DEFRAUDED

That the sugar trust was involved
in fraud In which not only the gov
ernment of the United States but
the growers OF sugar In Cuba, Java
and India suffered, was the deduc-
tion drawn from the testimony Of
Ernest w. Gerbracht, former superin-
tendent of the williamsburg refinery
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, who ia on trial for defrauding
the government Of customs duties.
II was ordered by the late Fl. o.
Havemeyer to falslfy polariscopic
tests of sugar, so that we would have
to pay less to the sugar grower" said
Gerbracht, as he writhed before the
merciless cross-examlnation of Spe-
cial Assistant Attorney General
Henry Stimson.
That the sugar trust had robbed
the government OF great sums In du-
ties had been proven and the trust
has made money restitution. But
that the trust has robbed the men
with whom It does business and from
whom 1t purchases raw sugar is a
new development. Sugar is pur-
chased from the sugar planters on
weight and grade-the lower the
grade the less paid by the trust. So
new scheme, that Of reducing the
grade of the sugar by frauds. was de-
vised according to Gerbracht. The
grade of sugar is determined by a
polarlscopic test. The angle Of re-
fraction of light through solution
of sugar shows the grade. Gerbracht
was forced to admit that the falsi-
fication of tests went as far as the
Wall street headquarters Of the sugar
trust.
I'VE took the polarlscoplc tests at
the refinery and another test was
made at the Wall street Offices" he
said 1--WE made the refinery tests
as low as possible, but often the tests
made in the Wall street offices were
lower. II such happened to be the
case, we we're notified by the Wall
street offices and forced to make our
own figures lower" The merchants
who sold the sugar had to take their
pay on the lowest tests. 4

PRACTICAL IDEAS
EDUCATIONAL WORK
School Credit for the Performanc,
of Home Duties.

The following article by l.. r.
Alderman, Of the University of Ore
gon, on school matters contains some
recommendation which are worthy
of consideration by every commun-
ity In which there Is a public school.
Industrial schools have long been
popular, but Mr.. Alderman's ideas
will add much to the industrial fea-
ture Of school work Those charged
with the responsibility Of our educa-
tional matters should take up this
subject as explained in his letter and
give 1t prompt consideration No
beneficial or practical feature should
be omitted
That civilization Is founded on
the home, all will agree. The school
should be real helper of the home.
How can the school help the home?
How can 1t help the home establish
habits in the children of systematic
performance Of home duties. so that
they will be efficient and joyful
home helpers? One way is for the
school to take into account home in
dustrial work and honor It. II is
my conviction, based upon careful
and continuous observation. that the
school can greatly increase the I'm.
terest the child will take in home in.
dustrial work by making II a subject
OF consideration at school. A teach
er talked OF sewing. and the girls
sewed She talked OF ironing. and
they wanted TO learn to iron neatly.
She talked Of working with tools.
and both girls and boys made bird
houses, kites and other things of in-
terest. a school garden was plan
ned in a city. and one OF the bows
was employed TO plow the land. Sew
enty-flve children were watching for
him to come with the team. At last
ne came driving around the corner.
He could manage a team. He drove
into the lot, and a hundred and fifty
eyes looked with admiration at the
boy who could unhltch from the sled
ana hitch on 10 tho plow. and then
as he man fashion"-lines over one
shoulder and under one arm-drove
the big team around the field. an
could feel the chlldren's admiration
for the boy who could do something
worth while. have seen n girl who
could make good bread or set a table
nicely get the real admiration OF her
schoomates.
THE school can help make better
home builders. II can help by IN
dustrlal work done In the school.
bnt as that Is already receiving con
sderatlon by the press and In fow
schools. ! shall not In this short
article treat Of Il.
THE plan I have In mind will cost
no money will take but little school
time, and can be put into operation

that this raise will start movement
for higher wages among pedagogues

HARNESSNAKERS
ARE ON STRIKE
WAGE INCREASE COULD &c
AGREED ON But. EIGHT HOUR
DAY PROVES STUMBLING
RLock-NATIoNAL FIGHT HAS
BEEN STARTED.

Fargo, i'm common with every other
city in the western United states
where leatherworkers union exists,
is in the midst of a strike. On the
refusal Of the manufacturers national
association. to concede the demand of
the union, the country wide strike or
der WIS issued.
AS a result, half a hundred union
men, and several non-union men have
laid down their tools in Fargo.
The eight hour day proves the stick
err in many points. Many manufac-
turers are willing to meet the 10 per
cent wage increase. They want to
force the worwmen to sweat over the
bench for nine or ten hours.
The statistics of the leatherworkers
show that large per cent have died
during the past year from consump-
ton, which prompts them in their de-
mand for shorter working day.
Has a time been reached when a
skilled laboring man can't make
enough in eight hours to decently sup
port himself and family.
