Woman's Sphere on the Fruit Farm

At the last meeting of the Montana
State Horticultural society at Boze-
man there was q paper read which
was of more than passing interest.
Man and his work with fruit had been
given attention from almost every an
gle before Mrs. e. A. johnson of the
Brookdale fruit farm in the Bitter
Root valley was called upon for her
idea of woman's sphere on a success
full fruit farm. Mrs. Johnson replied
with the following interesting paper:
"Co-operation is necessary for sue
cess in any business. l take it that
men and women We're made for busi-
ness, for activity, for employment.
Activity is the life of us all. To do
and to bear Is the duty of life. We
know that employment makes the man

woman may engage.
"A Fruit Farm"
what beautiful pictures the very
name calls up before us. Those of us
who have never had the pleasure of
life on q fruit farm can only draw
the mental picture. In fancy we see
the big roomy farm house, surrounded
by great stretches of veIvet lawn, it's
beautiful shade trees, flower gardens.
vegetable gardens, berry patches and
fruit orchards.
1--WE see the housewife or the daugh-
ter fitting here and there. clipping
arms full of roses, picking the deli
cious berries from the vines or gath
ering the ripe red apples from the
trees. Something new, something more
grander each day unfolding from ma
lures wonder catalogue. What sight
is more beautiful or inspiring than to
see a crowd of rosy-cheeked girls 60
ing past with baskets to clip our deli
cious cherries, or gather the red and
golden apples and pears from the trees.
There are many industries con-
nected with a fruit farm in which
woman can prove factor of success,
both from a standpoint of pleasure
and profit. Bee keeping is a most de-
lightful and interesting occupation and
study, and one in which the labors are
not too arduous for any woman, and not
from which we derive a double benefit
Not only can we supply our table with
a most delicious deiicacy, but at the
same time the busy little fellows are
carrying the pollen from tree to tree
thereby insuring us of a good fruit
crop later. The poultry pen also is
the source of substantial income on
the farm. 1t is not uncommon for the
housewife to clear from $500 to 81 900
on her poultry and eggs as a side issue
for pin money!
Your city sisters sometimes pity
and sometimes envy the woman on the
farm. They wonder how they ever get
the work done. What they do for
amusement and So forth and SO on.

INDUSTRIAL COURSE
IN SCHOOLS
EAST CHICAGO SUPERINTEND.
EMIT DESCRIBES BENEFITS
OF NEW SYSTEM.

Washington, March 1.-(Special.)-
The old fashioned set course with
cultural aims has caused many fail
ures. produced hundreds of misfts,
and driven innumerable boys and
girls to leave school as soon as the
law will permit" declares Edwin l.
Canine, superintendent of schools in
East Chicago in a statement ad
dressed to the United States commits
sioner Of education.
East Chicago is a city of cosmopol-
itan character and strong democratic
tendencies, according to Superintend-
ent Canine There is no wealthy nor
especially cultured class, and extreme
poverty is unknown. His problem.
therefore, was probably somewhat
different from that of other school
men. In his efforts to solve it he
emphasizes certain special features,
among which "semi-industrial work"
a maximum minimum" plan of as
signing school lessons. and method
of reducing the number of daily reci-
tations, are conspicuous
tSemi-industrial classes were formed
when it was found that some children
especially in grades five, six and seven
appeared unable to carry the work.
even after repeated trials. Special
attention was given to these pupils.
One third or one-fourth of their time
was spent in the manual training of
domestic science department, where
the work was made as practical as
possible. Then the special teacher
took them for about the same amount
of time and coached them in the sub
jects of the grade in which they had
failed. Under these conditions, Super
intendent Canine reports, some of the
boys passed not only the grade in
which they had failed but the next
grade as well. These semi-industrial
classes are open also to children over
fourteen years of age Who have left
school and are unemployed, and to
these already at work who are pei
mitted by foresigh;ed employers to
attend school part Of the time.
The maximum minimum" plan of
lesson assignment adopted in Super
intendent CANNES system Is an in
genious application of the principle
from each according to his abilities"
The pupils do not all have the same
amount to do. II the average pupils
OF the class are assigned Is problems
in arithmetic. for instance the slower
pupils are assigned eight 10 or IL
typical problems, while the brightest
are asked to do 20 or more. The same
principle is applied to geography and
history, and to some extent to English.
Believing that the energies of the
,}lyy ix,i1o
dissipated by the constantly increas-
ing number of school subjects, SUI
perintendent Canine has devised q
plan of reducing the number of stu
dies. In the four lower grades ltera
ture, history and nature study, instead
of forming separate subjects in the
curriculum. are combined in Language

is to put them to work and keep them
at it. The education of every indi-
Vidual, morally or intellectually, must
be chiefly his own work. The man or
woman who is above labor and despises
the laborer shows a want of common
sense. The nobest thing in the world
is labor, honest labor. 1t is the very
proserVative principle of the universe.
Don't live in hope, with your arms
folded. Fortune smiles on those who
roll up their sleeves and put their
shoulders to the wheel. The Creator
has told us that woman was created

All these things were built before the

Agriculture is the greatest among

Such a brick road, properly built,
costs $1,000 a mile for each foot of
width. Stone curbing with an ex-
pansion joint is used to protect the
edge of the pavement Usually one
halt of the road is paved, the right
hand half for the heavier loaded traf-
fc that is bound toward town. The
other half of the road is graded and
can be used in dry weather.
THE method of construction is to
lay a solid concrete base and impose a
two-inch sand cushion for the brick.
grout filler unites the brick into one
solid substance.
Lower Living Cost.
Good roads are responsible for the
growth of Cleveland's public markets,
which are the chief check against the
high cost of living. Easy transporta
tion has changed n large part of the
country into a vast garden. Rural life
has become popular with the well-to
do people of Cleveland, who reach the
city daily by automobiles and farm for
health or incidentals This vogue for
fresh air coupled with accessible mar

able concession THE Submarine" at
the coming 1915 worlds fair.
1t will cost $150,6OO, and bids fair
to interest thousands of visitors. It
will be an amusement riding device
that will afford the public an original
and sensational experience and also
demonstrate the utilization of the
submarine for observation and other
purposes.
Steel submarine boats will dive into
a great lake in which will be assem-
bled startling and unique forms of
vegetable and animal life brought from
the submarine continents of the world
The passengers will be comfortably
seated and provided with individual
portfolios through which they may be-

of unique fish and an almost endless
variety of marine creatures In their

The concession will be contracted

which record 10 feet for every one
