"Cofins are the most expensive com-
modify sold. yet thousands OF farmers to-
day are purchasing them for wives and
children who have broken under the
strain OF hard work, ill-nourishment and
lack OF proper facilities.
This Is important from the bankers
viewpoint, because when the farmers
wife is given labor-saving appliances, Il
means not only that she will live longer
and In better health, but that she will
raise more calves and chickens and that
means that the bankers interest will be
paid more promptly.
Another point 1 have to make in this
plea for the farmers wife" continued
Mrs. Jones, ''ls from the social side We
hear so much about the lack OF social
opportunities In farm life. Women on the
farm cannot utilize social opportunities
because they are too worn out at the end
OF the day to do anything but sleep. Can
you wonder that the young people are
leaving the farms for the city when they
see. by their mothers drudgery. what a
farm life really means7"
The problems OF the farmers wife are
many and no definite solutions have
yet been offered. That she should have
leisure for the cultivation of her mind
and for the taking of an adequate grip
on affairs that are going on In the great
outer" world is foregone conclusion.
But Just how that leisure is TO become
"un fat accompli" forms the crux of the
matter.

These statements are not made in a
plea to abolish schools, but in the hope
that they may plead the cause or a
revolution of our school system. Why
should not the public schools be made
part of the real life of boys and girls?
Young people need interests, stimula-
tions. and excitements. 1t Is not enough
to put children to work with their in
tellects alone. to do their lessons more
or less willingly. Book studies can
never grip the human soul in the Same
way that the individuals own work. or
personal aspirations can. Feelings and
sentiments, yearnings. and ambitions
stirred to life in the children's minds
and their doing powers aroused.
The school can never be part OF the
child's real life until 1t has learned
how to teach him to work and to
play. to think and to aspire, to absorb
ar to retain. to construct and to exc

things. it will get hold of the child's

Then the school will be what 1t should.

young soul.
"Give US moro money" say school
officials, and we will give you bet
ter schools. We cannot get men and
women trained In child Psychology
and also trained in manual arts to
teach primary, or grammar grades

There is no other business in any
community 80 important as the right
training Of its children. Other inter-
ests may retrench; this should pAver

That the best place for children to
grow up in Is the country. where
they are permitted to enjoy the free
dom of good air. ample sunshine and
recreations and movements as their
growing existences demand. has bean
amply demonstrated. Investigations
have proved that child reared in

A phase Of the conference which

which will give another idea of the

of presidents. Last year the presi-

of the Chicago School OF Civtcs. ana

It has exceeded all expectations. Tho
organizations send not only their
delegates. and their head workers,
but also the novices who arc in

gagged by those who know its val
