cables are going into the country and
going soon. and the farmers wives

cables are going into the country and
going soon, and the farmers wives
are going to profit most by the new
conditions because their work is SO
much heavier and the saving of work
and the economy Of human effort is
most needed in the farm house. Men
have exhausted their inventive genius
in providing labor-saving machinery
for the man on the farm, and it is
only in the matter of the sewing ma
chine and washing machine and few
minor devices that attention has been
given to labor-saving and worry-sav-
ing devices for the one whose life
depends upon 1t most.
We want to suggest to the towns
people that they attend the demon
strations early and make room for
their friends from the country who
will come in Saturday and Saturday
evening. If there is lack of room at
the Department Of Nourishment"
Saturday evening, make room for
those who come in from a distance,
for it is to them that we owe the de-
velopment of the country and the sub
stantial spread of electricity for COM
mercial use where it will do the
greatest good and advance the inter
ests of the country at large. When
all the country towns down the line
and up the road are Joined in the
circuit, and farmers along the way
can turn the switch and operate their
churns. washers, sewing machines,
pumps and feed grinders, when the
electric cooker can be utilized to cook
the hog feed quickly and easily with
out danger of fire or of burning it.,
when the boys and girls of the pig
clubs and potato clubs find these con-
veniences ready at their disposal, we
shall witness a material development
that is worthy of the combined efforts
of all commercial energies to create.

race program has been adopted, in
eluding motorcycles and autos.
The directors decided to abolish
the practice of issuing pass-out
checks to persons leaving the grounds
as they have been doing. The asso-
citation has been the victim of sys-
tematic filching in the past by peo-
pie who got jobs in the grounds, did
their work and on leaving the
grounds at noon or later, took pass
out checks and sold them to persons
coming in. Hereafter anyone leaving
the grounds will have to pay to get
in again unless a pass is secured.
the directors are planning carefully
to defeat all efforts to take advant-
age and to cut off or waste the funds
of the association. They want them
to go to the exhibitors and the win
ners of prizes.

Education.

How the movement for the wider use
OF school buildings is extending through
the country is described in a bulletin
written by Clarence Arthur Perry Of the
Russell Sage Foundation and lust pub

education. The report shows that the
wider use of school buildings is extend

United States commissioner of education.
says:
Until within the last few years public
schoolhouses in American cities and towns
were open only for the regular school
work and for children of legal school
age For this purpose they were open
only from five to seven hours a day for
from $50 to 100 days in the year, a total
of not more than 1,400 hours year,
and were closed to all use through the
remainder of the $3.50 hours of the year.
Public school funds were used only for
the regular school work. Only occa-
sionaliy evening classes for older boys
and girls and for men and women were
found, and sometimes schoolrooms were
used for public debates and for meetings.

elementary schools, or, at most. with
the years of early adolescence and the
work of the high school. The public
schools had no further concern for them.
But since the beginning of the present
century there has been a growing inter-

associations and other similar educa-
tive purposes, and 1t Is not uncommon
for public school funds to be used di-
