HOME DUTIES
AND SCHOOLS
Credit Given by Teachers for
Industrial Work.

How teachers in Oregon bring
school and home closer together by
giving school credit for industrial
work at home is told with compeli-
Ing interest by Hon. L. r. Alderman,
State superintendent of public in
structiop In Oregon, in a pamphlet
which the United States Bureau of
Education is sending free 1t the re-
quest of teachers,
Building fires; milking a cow;
cleaning the barn; splitting and ear
rying In wood; turning cream sepa-
r%ators; cleaning house; gathering
eggs; feeding farm animals; churn-
Ing butter; preparing breakfast;
sweeping and s%crubbing floors; dust
ing furniture; making beds; sewing,
washing and ironing the child's own
clothes; bathing; arriving at school
with clean hand and face and with
hair combed; practicing music les
son; going to bed by 9 o'clock every
night; bathing and dressing the
baby; sleeping with window boards
In bedroom; these are a few of the
duties for which the teacher at
Spring Valley, Oregon, allows credit
In connection with regular school
work.
The work Ia definitely measured
and allowed for. The child desiring
credit for home tasks brings to
school a slip signed by the parent
t~estifying to what has been done;
10 per cent. Is added to the final ex-
animation results OF all pupils lex
cept eight graders) who enter and
continue in the voluntary content to
see which can obtain the most OF
such credits; q certain number of
accumulated credits entities the pu-
the teacher; and in this one school,
at least. cash rewards are given to
pupils making the best records In
accredited home tasks.
The experiment was SO successful
in Spring Valley that 1t attracted the
attention of the county superintend-
ents Of the State. who this year
made a special trip in a body to OBJ
serve the results OF the home-credit
plan in this school. and then advoca-
ted the idea everywhere. Already
schools In other localities have tried
the plan with success, modifying the
details In accordance with local
needs, but always retaining the CEN
trail principle OF home and school CO.
operation.
Observers of the work that IS
done in Oregon agree hat the effect
both on school and home has been
unfailingly good. The children take
more pride in their homes: give
eager assistance in the household to
their frequently overworked mothers,
live cleaner, healthier lives than be-
fore; yet they by no means neglect
their school work in their awakened
zeal for home interests. Indeed, the
evidence seems to be that the habits
of industry and cleanliness thus en-
couraged in respect to duties In the
home are not only reflected in the
pride they take in sanitary school
surroundings, but also In increased
ability in studies, greater willing
less to do the lessons, and a higher
degree OF accuracy in all the activ,
tiles both of home and school.
The basic principle behind the
work OF DR.. Alderman and his as
~sociates is that education should
make US more willing and efficient
workers. every person has some
home duties. chores. and the like,

ty inspectors have just finished go
ing over the rivets required in
building the big lock gates for the
canal. These men inspected six
miles of the rivets and all but a few
thousand of them will be used In

gates, by the way, if piled one on top
