SUGGESTS MANUAL
TRAINING IN SCHOOLS

That our boys and girls may be
more completely educated, Man
ual Training and Domestic Science
are pushing their way into our
school curricula. Education of a
few years ago was a mertal
thing and compounded very much
as a Doctors prescription, a GER
tain part of mental discipline, a
certain part of memory work,
etc. If boy was to be a me-
chanic, he took his mental dose,
along with the others, and trusted
to chance for his hand training.
| am very glad that our present
State Superintendent is of the
newer type and is stirring the
state to a fuller realization of the
real purpose Of education a bet
ter preparation for life's battles
and a more complete living.
No doubt many have been
studying the new system of edu-
eating which comes from Italy
and promises to revolutionize the
whole educational machine. In
this system, the child's play,
which to him is serious, is so di-
rected that in a short time his
little mind has made almost Won
derful progress. l have seen
letters written by children four
or five years old which would Go
credit to child seven or eight
years of age in our schools.
Through the hand, the mind be-
came developed. not the mind
only. but the hand also. Manual
in our schools is along
this same line. How eagerly the
boy will work on some hard prob
lem if his tools are ahammer a and
saw instead of pencil and paper!
If, in each case, the mental re-
suit is the same, the first over
reaches the second in two ways.
He has had hand training, and |
of a useless piece of pa
per, he is the proud possessor Of

useful article for the home. |

Manual Training as a subject

Morrow County school, since it
would necessitate a special teach

heir boys may not be behind the

one, and Lexington, together,
lire an instructor in Manual
Training who should divide his

n this way we could get the
work. without the,large expense.
Who will help to give our boys

Declaring that spaoulators by COM
bining for the control of prices have
made fortunes at the expense of the
hop industry during the last 20 yeas,
meeting, attended by 76 representa-
tive hop men, was held at Salem a
few DAYS ago. Deciding that by an
organization of their own the hop
growers can regain and keep control
of the market in the future. COM
mittee was appointed to draft com
prehensive plan of a statewide union
among the growers According to
the plan discussed. the union will
maintain an information bureau with
agents at London and New York to
keep it advised as to market oondi-

growers in the matter of supplies,
which coudl be BOUGHT in wholesale
quantities, and an additioul S125, 900
