Hampton Institutes remarkable re.

Hampton Institutes remarkable re-
Iults in training negroes are wildly
set forth in the forty-fifth annual re-
mort Of the principal. just made pub
lie, From a school of fifteen pupils
and two teachers the institute has
grown into a busy educational village
of over thousand persons, with a
far.reaching influence, not only for
the races 1t is designed to aid, but
for the whole nation, which benefits
by the splendid work and example Of
Hampton graduates everywhere. In
dustrial training is the keynote Of
the Hampton success, according to
DR.. P. P. Claxton, United States COM
missioner of education, who Is keenly
interested in the Hampton work. 1t
is noteworthy that this Industrial
training is Of the most immediate and
practical sort, applied to the ordinary
producing tasks of life, first of all in
the educational plant itself. At Hamp-
ton practically all the work is done
by the students themselves. There
are buildings to be kept in repair and
occasional new buildings to be erect
ed; there is farm Of 600 acres to be
cultivated, with $50 cows and young
stock, 40 horses and mules. hogs and
poultry. There are horses, to be shod.
harness To be kept in repair, wagons
to be built, boys to be clothed
these are few of the industrial op-
portunities which the plant itself Of
fers. Last year the students received
over $50, 900 in wages, of which about
one-fourth went to the girls for do
nestle work in the institute. This
year the boys of the trade school
have built Clarke hall at a contract
price of $26,142. The work called for
the services of bricklayers, plasterers.
carpenters, sheet metal workers,
steamf1tters, plumbers, cabinetmakers.
electricians and painters. The archi-
tect who designed the building, after
inspecting the brick work done by the
boys, said it compared favorably with
similar work done by New York men;
and sonse of the local. builders pro-
nouncedift the best piece of work in
that section Of Virginia. At Hampton
work is considered a privilege; in
fact, one form of punishment is the
taking away OF work from pupil.
No student is ever punished by being
forced to work. At the same time,
labor Is not insisted on as an end it.
self, but rather as the means to an
end. THE aid Of Hampton" says DR..
George P. Phenix, vice-principal, rs
not merely to train ~orkmen. but to
educate men and women who shall
stand for the best things in the COM
munities to which they return. and
who can make their skill contribute
to this end"

FARM BOOKKEEPING.

The UuiteS States Department Of
Agriculture has Just published a free
Farmers Bulletin No. 511, treating Of
the subject Of Farm Bookkeeping,
which will be found very useful by
anyone who desires to start a system
Of accounting. The bulletin discuss
es the advantages of farm bookkeep-
ing and outlines the principles upon
which system of farm accounting
should be built up. Forms are given
Illustrating methods for taking a
farm inventory, which is the basis Of
all farm accounting. Other forms
are shown for receipts and expendi-
lures and for learning the farm pro-
fits. Forms of labor records are
shown, also time sheets and labor re-
ports. While the bulletin in itself is
not treatise on bookkeeping with
data and instructions for keeping a
system of farm accounts, it is partic-
ularly valuable in giving suggestions
regarding the details of farm account
Ing. If carefully studied it will en-
able one to devise a system of &C.
counting that will be satisfactory and
complete enough for the business of
most farms. Send for it. 1t costs
nothing and We are sure it is worth
reading.
