topic for which she has no real liking
II IN OTHER WORDS, OUR HIGH
/ SCHOOLS ARE PUTTING A PRE-
, MUM UPON WORK WHICH HAS
SOME MENTAL AND CULTURAL
VALUE INSTEAD OF COMMON, EV.
ERYDAY HOME VALUE.
At the Henderson high school both
domestic science and domestic arts for
girls and manual training for boys have
been given very prominent place in
the course of study. The school is now
offering three year course, and a
fourth will be added next September.
1t is four year course that calls for
two fOrty-minute periods each day i'm
the week, that real, strong. helpful.
practical work may be accomplished.
Too much of our school work has been
theory, and we must have time enough
fer the practical side of domestic sci
ence and manual training.
Two years Of this course, the fresh
man and the junior years, are used for
sewing, pattern making. designing and
a study of cloths and materials of va
riOus kinds. 1t is the aim of this
work to have a girl strong enough to
design a garment or plan a wardrobe
nationally, to alter a pattern that does
not fit or suit her. In a course Of
study of one period per day this would
be impossible, but with eighty minutes
each day Of her school year ut a sew
ing table results can be gotten.
In domestic science the work is rath
er out of the ordinary in that it seems
so thoroughly commonplace and so
disable in the home life that most OF us
have to live 1855 days I'm the year.
There is nothing that is fancy, but
very great deal about breads of va
rious kinds, yeasts, baking powders.
the care Of sinks. refrigeratOrs. etc.
AS one goes through this high school
and sees the girls at this work there
is the feeling that many OF them are
to be saved from the disappointment
that comes to most young housekeep-
ers.
That this work in Henderson appeals
10 the girls is shown by the fact that
out of total enrolment Of 1876 girls
eighty-seyen IRE taking domestic sci
ence or domestic arts.
MAY MANY SUCH BE FOUND IN
THE STATE IN THE NEXT FEW
YEARS.

old IDEAS ARE
PUSHED ASIDE
Schools Must Have Contact
With Activity Of People.
"WHY NOT TRAIN FOR LlFE?"

Higher Grades Are More Than Mere
Ineubators For Embryo Lawyers,
Doctors, Teachers and Preachers.
Domestic Science and Domestic Arts.
Schools will attract and hold the at
tention of the public in proportion to
their contact with the everyday life
and activity of the people. The old
idea of high school being an incuba-
tor for embryo lawyers, doctors, teach
ers and preachers is being pushed
aside.
The school people-the real, live,
wide awake school people--have seen
this proposition clearly for some time,
but they have been afraid Of what the
general public might think. The pub
lie has sensed that there was some
thing out of gear in our school ma
chinery, but 1t was afraid of what
the education expert might say. And
so the public and the school people
have been seesawing.
Boys and girls welcome any study
that tastes of everyday life and activ-
ity. The little girl in the lower grades
mothers her doll, makes her clothes
and mends them and cooks wonderful
dinners on a homemade stove of brick
out in the back yard. She keeps house
and plays her part in mimic world
because It is the only outlet for what
she sees of the activities Of the world
In which she is eventually to take her
place. The years slip by, and she is
ready for the high school, She must
put. her doll aside, and she can no
longer with dignity cook on the brick
Astove IN the back yard. Her own feel
ing. would prompt her to so forward
in sewing, cooking and the other house
hold arts, but she is In high school
I'm which no such course is offered, so
she, loses an interest that had been
part of her life and development. II
she happens to find such course in
the high school the chances are that
It is for single period each day, and
her credits earned for graduation would

Rev. David L. Leonard, erstwhile
Rev. David Johnson. Little Davey'
to the few who remember the fright
ened, bedraggled youngster they shell
tered when one day In 1851 federal
artillery capsized a houseboat at
Ozark Landing, on the Arkansas, came
to his own at Springdale, Ark, the
other day. For the first time In 81
years he greeted relatives and learn.
ed what he never knew before-his
name.
With the kilograms in his hand
from the families of three brothers
and sisters in the south urging him
to meet them the minister sat at the
home of his sister, Mrs. j. G. Johnson,
in Springdale, told his part of the
disconnected story, matched data
with some of the pioneers, and end
ed by legally renouncing the name
David Johson.
David's parents moved from his
birthplace, Knox county, Tenn, two
years before the war to Coop Ridge,
near Fort Smith, Ark. When moth
er and father died, neighbors placed
David and four brothers and sisters
aboard a houseboat in charge of a
slave, and started them for their old
home in Tennessee.
Following the capsizing of the boat
David disappeared. The other chill
dren were taken aboard of a pas
senger boat at the landing, and on
to their detination. Next day David
was found by a farmer few miles
from Ozark. sobbing on the river
bank. He was three years old, and
his name, he said, was "Davy." Some
months later, James Johnson and his
family OF Greenville, Tex. came
through Ozark In a covered wagon,
and adopted the homeless boy.
The Johnsons journeyed to Kan
sAs City, lived there four years. and
then went east in the wagon to Ten
'nessee. At Jasper, Marion county,
Tenn. David grew up. and in 1891
was Orduined Primitive Baptist min
lister. From the moment he learned
to read and write he devoted his
spare time in the search for relatives
and a name. The Johnsons told him
all they knew Of his history, but he
found names an6 dates at Ozark for
gotten when he sought to learn of
his stay there. Two months ago he
rec lived a letter from the family of
Thomas Leonard of Koppel, Tex,
saying they had recognized in his
story, told in an Arkansas paper, the
connection with their own family his
tory.
The letter directed him to Mrs.
Johnson, and when he came to
Springdale, the Identification was
made complete.
Mr.. Leonard now lives at Elkmont,
Ala, is married and has IL grown
children. The Leonards, mostly
wealthy farmers, are planning a re
union of the family.
