THE VACATION pRoRLE,M

THE Ohio State Journal comments
with enthusiasm over sugges-
4 tions of Superintendent Haw-
kins, of the Newark public
schools, for improving vacation possi-
bilities. The Journal agrees with Pro-
fessor Hawkins that the vacation is
worse than useless If the pupil is al
lowed to ''go wild and careless" and
there is more than a grain of truth in
this.
According to newspaper report, Pro-
lessor Hawkins is calling upon the
business men of his city to find en-
ployment for these boys during the
summer This work could be under
the direction of a committee or board
to give out to the boys and girls. ac-
cording to tho several inclinations.
illnesses. capacities, etc, and thus
make good use of boys or girls ten
denotes. But lest there be a lack of
this employment offered, Professor
Hawkins proposes an agricultural
course in the high school and an an.
1ilication of its lessons in practical
work during the vacation months. He
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-05-02
SATURDAY EVENING,

suggests that "a tract of tillable land
of thirty or forty acres be placed at
the disposal of the board of education
for this purpose; that the board select
for one of its high school Instructors
man trained scientifically to give in
struction in agriculture; that this in
structor be employed by the year,
teaching the theory of agriculture to
classes of boys during the Fall and
Winter months, and directing the
actual work of these boys during the
afternoons of the Spring and all day
during the Summer months"
The success of the school gardens"
in Harrisburg would lead to the belief
that an extension of the plan to place
it under the direct control of the
School Board and operating on q large
scale might provide a solution of the
vacation problem. We do not agree
with those who would shorten the
vacation period. 1t would be little less
than cruelty to keep boys and girls
penned up in school during the hot
summer days, when even grown-ups
are shirking their tasks and going to
the mountains or shore. 1t will not
do to make Jacks life "all work and
no play" but the play can be so di-
rected as to make it profitable, men
tally, morally and physically.

-Luzerne has record-breaklng
registration and the reorganizers do

Perhaps If Palmer had not been

The State Democratic leader in
