ADJUSTING SCHOOLS TO FARM
Opinion Advanced That Country Boys
and Girls Should Be Taught
Rural Subjects.

Advocating that the boys and girls
stay on the farm and at the same
time teaching city subjects in the
rural schools is contradictory. II the
boys and girls are taught one thing
they cannot be expected to desire to
do something else even II SO ad-
vised.
Boys and girls in thirty-four schools
in Wright county, Iowa, were asked
what they desired to do. or the 164
boys, 1877 desired to leave the farm
and 1853 of the TIA girls desired to do
likewise. But after agriculture and
home economies had been taught for
three years the same question was
asked in the same schools. This time
1872 of the 174 boys desired to stay
on the farm and 161 Of the 178 girls
This changing of an almost unani'
nous desire to stay on the farm
seems almost miraculous. Yet 1t was
done through making change in the
course of study, writes w. C. Palmer
in the Breeders Gazette.
Boys and girls will desire to do the
things they have been taught how to
do. Their interest is developed in the
things they are taught. Agriculture
and home economics are the things
that boys and girls are most interest
ed in to begin with. They live in a
great agriculture and home economics
laboratory.
The knowledge that they have when
they come to school Is on these sub
jects. Education to be the most effec'
tive must begin with what the chill
dren know.
The will to do springs from the
knowledge that one can do. One
likes to do what one can do well. Do.
ing work that one does not under
stand is drudgery. Most boys must
enter productive work. If they are
not educated for it then it will be
drudgery. Most girls will manage
homes. If they are not taught about
1t homemaking would be drudgery
It is in the power of the schools tc
make their enthusiastic workers OF
drudges of the boys and girls.

Grease a Cause of Disease.

Grease in II sink is very prolific
cause of disease. 1t cannot but accu-
mulate from dishes and utensils. and
when small bits of vegetable matter
adhere to it shelter is given to mis-
chievous bacteria. Besides, grease
will clog the drain and become men
ace and an inconvenience. The surest
and simplest cleansing agent is a
strong solution of washing soda and
boiling water The sink should first
be scrubbed with soapsuds and the
hot solution then dashed down the
drain. This cleaning should be done
at least once a week-Chicago News.

| of $3S, SS5 80.
Mr.. Eddy's failure was a great surprise
to his friends and patrons as he was con-
sidered to be very strong financially. No
inkling of financial difficulty came until
the failure of local patrons to receive their
cream and milk checks on November H.
after his sale of the Montpelier creamery
and Evansville plant to the j. G. Turnbu|l
G. 90. of Orleans. Suspicious were
| aroused but no definite information was
forthcoming.
Mr.. Eddy owned creameries in west
| minister, Cavendish. Hortonville, MOI
risville, Waterbury Center and Stowe at
the time of his failure having sold those
in Montpelier and Evansville about two
| weeks ago. The bulk of his indebtedness
was to creamery patrons, of whom there
were about $50 out of the total number
of creditors, 730.
Of the creamery patron creditors there
are Is for the Westminster creamery, ST.,
527 O3; 125 for Montpelier creamery, So

G. F. Eddy of Stowe sold the Mont
pelier creamery and the.one at Evansville,
Orleans, to j. G. Turnbull & Co. of Or
leans, the largest independent owners of
creamery property in New England,
about two weeks ago. The purchaser
are also owners of the Shady Rill cream
cry, which has been operated for about
three years. The consideration was not
made public.
The Montpelier creamery has recently
been remodled and equipped with new
machinery at the expense of upwards of
$500, so that it is one of the best in
Vermont. Mr.. Eddy purchased the Mont
pelier creamery of Lester Cameron 10
years ago.
The two assignees will appear before
the creditors in the various sections where
the Eddy creameries are located as soon
as convenient.
Meanwhile all collectable accounts will
be closed so that at the earliest possible
date final adjustment and first dividend
may be paid.
The Eddy failure has marked, it is be-
lieved. new era in the creamery bust
ness in this state inasmuch as the big
foreign milk companies will from now on
enlarge their operations and the farmers
with the sense of protection offered in
the deposit of surety bonds with the state
are bound to dispose of their dairy prod
uct to the big Boston and New York
firms.
The Fl. P. Hood & Sons Company of
Boston has, in accordance with the new
law passed last year, filed bond of $50,
600 to secure payments to farmers in this
state.
