of the method one sees in operation at the
Home School. Administrated on the cottage
plan, division in groups is made according to
the girls previous experience. On admission
to the school the new girl is turned over to
the nurse at the hospital. Here she receives
thorough medical examination, the time of
her entrance to cottage life being based on
her physical condition. She is bathed, given
clean clothing when necessary, her teeth and
hair examined, records of her physical status
made, etc. When her condition is such that
she can join one of the cottage groups she is
placed in the cottage where the surrounding
and home life best fits her needs. Here be-
gins her life of systematic work and study.
Creating a Desire for Work
Is One Problem.
Everybody, of course, is required to work.
Indeed everything about the place, with the
exception of the hardest physical work on the
farm, is done by the girls under the supervis-
ion of their teachers.
Now to the unframed, shiftless girl, this
systematic occupation sometimes looks like
the worst punishment. To lead her from
this viewpoint to genuine pleasure in the
task given her, anG from there to an am
bition to master some one thing we'll that
when she goes out she can support herself
this is the aim of the Home School.
At each cottage there is the "house mo-
ther." She arranges, subject to the approval
of Mrs. Morse, the plan of life which the girls
at her cottage shall follow. There is no set
"institution" plan. Getting-up time varies,
just as it does in any group of well-kept pri-
vate homes. A group at one cottage may
breakfast at o'clock, while at another cot
tage it may be found more convenient to
make the breakfast hour 1880. The house.
work goes along on certain well-defined rules
and the girl learns the lesson of systema-
tized work. One begins life at the cottage as
hall girl, with care of the halls and STAIR

ways; then she is promoted to care of the Of
fcers' rooms-as the house mother and tea
cher are called; follows work as waitress
and laundress, then-mind you, not until the
other work is thoroughly mastered, is one
promoted to work in the kitchen. You see
the kitchen is the post of honor. One faces
a grave responsibility in cooking for from
20 to rs hungry people three times day and
the kitchen is no place for a girl who must be
disciplined or who has not learned the thrill
of facing big duties and performing them
we'll or whom it is necessary to fine. Fine?
Certainly. But, perhaps, you don't know the
financial system in operation at the Home
School.
Finances Figure in Dement'S
and Rewards
If girl wants pretty clothes, candy, mu-
sic lessons, it is absolutely "up to her." She
can earn them and pay for them out of her
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-11-04

ledger is kept by the house mother, and in it
are entered rewards and dement's, so that
each girl may learn at the end of the day or
the week, as she wishes, her financial
standing.
Arithmetic in Terms of Ones
Daily Life.
One of the surprising achievements of the
Home School is the system of education.
Dramatically opposed to the idea of putting
everyone into an educational hopper and let
ting them emerge at the other end with the
same assortment of knowledge, the Home
School plan of education takes into consider
alton the girl, her outlook on life and the
work which she will do in after years.
To arouse and maintain the interest of
these girls the work must be attached to
their lives, run along the line of things they
know and to which they will give attention.
Take arithmetic:
Arithmetic comes in terms of the daily
problems which the girl meets in her school
life. If it takes 81 much time to care for
ones room in the morning, so much time for
the work one is to preform in the weeks
schedule of duties, so much time for study
and so much time for play, find the weeks
apportiOnment of time for each duty. Or,
each girl works in the laundry certain time.
She is set to making out actual bills of the
laundry supplies used each week, soap,
starch, bluing, and clothes pins-and in this
way gains good practical arithmetic which
she will use in after life in her own home
Recognizing the need for homemakers, the
whole trend of life at the school ,centers
about fitting the girls to bee good house
workers and economists. They are taught the
beauty of dignity and simplicity and the fact
that good taste and harmony does not mean
the outlay of large sums of money.

HE DIED IN GRIEF
Topeka Veteran Mail Carrier
Wanted Death i'm Harness.
Discharged for Old Age, He Was
Broken Hearted.

After twenty-five years service as
a rural mail carrier, during which
ed against him, William r Comstock
died at the age OF 10 years at his
home, 1912 Guthrie avenue. He had
been i'll since last June.
Mr.. Comstock was born in New
York in 1874. When he was only 1 Z
years old he enlisted in the Twenty
fsaref--ssew-s=f-oFix volunteers n o<ern =
Der l, 1861, and was discharged April
l, 1852, on account of injuries re-
ceived in unloading cOmmiSSary stores
from a freight car He was partially
paraIyzed from the accident
The death of the old soldier reveals
a sad story of the ambition and dis
appointment of a man who had grown
old in the service of the government.
The one wish and hope of the aged
mail carrier was to die in the harness.
When he became i'll last June, he
hired a substitute on his route. He
practically in the service of the gov
ernment- On December "a, 1914.
Constock received a letter from post
master w o. Rigby ordering him to
report for duty or send in his resig-
nation Heing unable to work the
old man was forced to resign.
Mr. Comstock came to Topeka in
1888 He eked out a precarious Iv-
ing selling fancy work patterns made
by his wife.
On July l. 1889, he secured a con-
tract to carry a star mail route from
Topeka TO Dover at a salary of $500
year. When the free delivery was
esta blished in 1888 Mr.. Cornstock be-
came carrier on route north of the
city. He remained in this position
until he became i'll last June.
The substitute who took Mr.. Com
stocks route when he became una bic
to work is still on the job He Will
never be anything but substitute, as
he has passed the age limit of regular
carriers So the old soldier might as
well have been kept on the payroll.
When Mr.. Comstock was discharged
he made the remark: They could
not wait for me to die. They had to
kick me out to make room for some
Democrat" 1t was a bitter disa ppoint-
ment TO the old man.
Mr.. Comstock is survived by one
son, William c. Cornstock, of Argen-
tine. Kan. He was a member of Lin
coin post No. l. His wife died two
years ago. The funeral will be held
from the home Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock Interment will be in
