Willing and efficient workers Every person has some home duties, chores, and the like. Under the proper en- couragement and direction the boys and girls who are Tn school can be taught to do these things we'll and thoroughly The more they do, well and cheerfuIly, the better for them; they will become finer and more use full men and women. The giving of school credit for home york; says Dr. Alderman, is like opening great res erVoirs of power which as yet have scarcely been tapped
 Certain it is that cooperation be- tween home and school is one of the pressing problems of the day. Accord ingly this Oregon experiment, which seeks to coordinate in the fullest sense the interests of school and life, is followed with close. attention by educators everywhere.
 The United States Bureau of Edu- cation has several thousand copies of the Oregon booklet on hand for free distribution. They may be had on request.

SCHOOL CREDIT FOR
HOME DUTIES.

How teachers in Oregon bring school and home closer together by giving school credit for industrial work at home it's told with compel ling interest by Hon. l.. R. Alderman, State Superintendent of public in struction in Oregon, in pamphlet Education is sending free at the re- quest Of teachers.
 Building fires; milking a COW; cleaning the barn; splitting and car rying in wood; turning cream separa- feeding farm animals; churning but fer preparing breakfast; sweeping and scrubbing floors; dusting fUrni- ture; making beds; sewing, washing and ironing the child's own clothes; bathing; arriving at school with clean hands and face and with hair comb ed; practicing music lesson; going to bed at o'clock every night; bathing and dressing the baby; sleeping with window boards in bedroom; these are 5 few of the duties for which the teacher at Spring Valley, Oregon. al lows credit in connection with regu- lar school work
 The work is definitely measured and allowed for The child desiring credit for home tasks brings to school a slip signed by the parent testifyine to what has been done; 10 per cent is added to the final examin- ation results of all pupils (except eighth graders) who enter and con- +inue in the voluntary contest to see --dich can obtain the most of such E'-z >sssA- a certain number of accumu-

lated credits entities the pupil to a holiday, at the discretion of the teach CT; and in this one school, at least cash rewards are given to pupils rnak- ing the best record in accredited home tasks.
 The experiment was so successful in Spring Valley that it attracted the at tention of the county superintendents of the State, who this year made special trip in a body to observe the results of the home-credit plan in this school, and then advocated the idea everywhere. Already schools in oth- CT localities have tried the plan with success, modifying the details in ac- cordance with local needs, but always retaining the central principle of home and school cooperation
 Observers of the work that is done in Oregon agree that the effect both on school and home has been unfaiI- ingIy good. The children take more pride in their homes; give eager as- sistance in the household to their fre- quenuy oVerwOrked mothers; live cleaner, healthier, lives than before; yet they by no means neglect their school work in their awakened zeal for home interests. Indeed, the evil dence seems to be that the habits of industry and cleanliness thus encour- aged in respect to duties in the home are not only reflected in the pride they take in sanitary school surround ings but also in increased ability in studies, greater willingness to do the lessons. and a higher degree of accu- racy in all the activities both of home and school
 The basic principle behind the work of Dr. Alderman and his associates is that education should make us Eaao'~

HENS GET TIRED
Eighth Week Shows Decrease in
 Production

The total number of eggs laid dur Ing the eighth week of the Second In ternationa1 Egg Laying Competition was 6S6: This is a slight decrease in promotion compared with the pre- vtous week but still an increase over the production during the same pe- riod of last years competition The leading pen for the week was a pen | of Single Comb Buff Leghorns owned by George H. Schnitz of Chicago This Den laid twenty-one eggs There were four pens that tied for second place each laying twenty eggs;

 It will be noted that the White Leg horns are not laying as heavily as at first, due to the unreasonable weather we are now having. This accounts for the fact that the total yield for the week is less.
 The largest egg laid during the week, also during the present contest, weigh ed -22 of pound, nearly four ounces. This large egg was laid by a Single Comb Rhode Island Red bullet owned by Colonial Farm of Temple, N. H. Another large egg weighing 20 of a pound, was laid by a White Plymouth Rock bullet, owned by Louis G. Tyre man. of Stroudsburg, Pa, also egg of the same abnormal weight was laid by a.

SELF-STARTERS ARE
 NOW STANDARD.
Of the Four General Types The EIec- tricaI Starter Is Most Used.-Both
 Motor and Generator Needed

a Motor and Generator Needed (By J. M. Cram, Manager of Mitchell Motor Car Co.,, of N. Y. Appearing more or less as an exper- inent at last years show. at least as far as public approval was concerned, 1 the seIf-starter is here this year as standard equipment on a. large mum Der of high grade cars, many of them in the moderate price class. While there are four types Of self-StarterS, the spring, pneumatic, the gas and the electrical starter, it is the last named that is being generally used. There are a numbe of reasons why the electrical starter is preferred. 1t is absolutely safe, efficient and reIi- able. It furnishes sufficient power to turn the motor over for a consid- erable time, in some cases as long as twenty minutes. The current prOVid- ed in connection with it is available for other uses, such as Ignition, tion-
 There are several different types of electrical seIf-starters in use. Un- doubtedly the most successful sys- tenn is the one in which both a gener- ator and a motor is provided, such as the new Mitchell models are equipped with. This includes a generator, in built, to drive from the gearbox the battery from which the electric lights and ignition also are taken care of and a baIl-bearing electric motor of a
 
 torque. This motor drives a heIi- ca1-and-spur gear combination that by pressure upon a foot pedal can be meshed directly into gear teeth ma chined in the hyWheel. The teeth in the fywheel' are protected at both ends so that they cannot possibly be- come damaged or catch upon any thing.
 The function of the generator is to deliver a small but continuous output of current at high speed while the electric motor, with a brief but heavy current consumption must give a pow erful starting. effort at a, low speed The necessity of having both a gener- ator and motor in an electrical start ing system is thus apparent
 In this system used with the new Mitchell models current for all the lights and for ignition is provided from the battery, which is kept charg- ed by the generator. After the gas Oline motor is running the ignition is by current direct from a magneto which is provided in addition to the generator. The battery current op- crates an electric horn and furnish es light for a lamp a. flexible cord which can be pIugged-in on the dash board switch and used to inspect any part of the car Another desira IDle feature with this system is a dinner operated from the drivers seat which instantly aims the headlights
