phasized the thought Of making the
school a recreation center of estab-
fishing consolidated schools by plac-
ing the same in the country rather
than in the town. He advocated the
employment of teacher for the year
and having him follow his pupils to
their farm homes in the summer as
well as to cultivate his own little
farm which, as the teacher Of the
school should be furnished him in
connection with the school He pleaded
for the teaching for every boy of the
scientific basis Of his fathers business
and the teaching Of every girl do
mestic science.
At the next session there was
Joint discussion on minimum essen
tials versus the diversified course of
study in the seventh and eighth
grades. DR.. Coffman of the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota believed in certain
minimum essentials, after which the
child should have a chance to exer-
else his own initiative. He said that
much Of retardation and elimination
in these grades was due to causes
outside Of school rather than to the
school. He believed there should be
less talk of rights and more Of duty,
health and civic responsibility In the
new curriculum.
Superintendent Shoop OF Chicago
made plea for the mal child, the
child who does not go to the high
school or college, the ninety-nine who
stay at home. not the one who goes
away. He believes that the first six
grades should be given up to getting
the command OF the tools of educa-
cation; reading, spelling, writing,
arithmetic, etc, and then he should
be free to discover himself, by way
Of enforcing the idea of giving sufh-
cient diversified course of study in
the seventh and eighth grades so that
the child might discover himself. He

Giving credit for the benefits re-
ceived, the following letter from the
mother OF these two little girls is OF
special interest: my two little girls
whose picture l send you, have taken
Father Johns Medicine with good re-
suits. One of the children, Marcello,
had throat trouble and tried several
remedies, as we'll as the doctors medi-
cine, but did not get relief until she
took Father Johns Medicine upon the
advice OF an aunt. This little girl is
now strong and healthy and able to
resume her studies at school, which
she had to leave for three months
while under the care of the doctor.
The other little girl is using the
medicine as a tonic and 1t helps her"

TRADE against schools and superinten-

said he should first be manly. red

UNPRECEDENTED FROST
TAKES APPLE TOLL

Jack Frost has been making a No.
vember record during the past severa
days. The minimum temperature fol
the Lower Valley, according to Cooper.
ative Weather Observer Birge. reached
Is degrees above zero Monday night.
The Temperature was l6 degrees Sunday
night and % on Saturday night.
Tuesday the orchardists began tC
make estimate of their damage. Mr..
Sieg. judging by reports that he had
gotten in, estimated the total frost
damage on Tuesday morning at an ap.
proximate 10 per cent of the total
crop. Fruit in apple boxes in orchards
and in inadequate shelters we're frost
ed and made unfit for commercial
packs. Unless frozen apples are al.
lowed to thaw too quickly they will be
taken at the cider factory. The loss
was minimized by growers. who placed
heay tarpaulins around their fruit and
in many instances battled the cold with
oil heaters. The local stocks of heat
ers were exhausted Monday. and deal
ers had to wire to Portland for more of
them.
The cold weather, according to old
time residents, is unprecedented for
early November.
While the apple loss is heavy. the
damage to the valleys crop potato will
be proportionately greater. Because
of the press of apple work but few po-
tatoes had been dug, and it is esti.
mated that nearly so per cent of the
estimated 80 carloads of tubers for the
valley will be effected by the frost.
Many growers spent Sunday digging
their potatoes.
Other northwestern apple districts
have been stricken far worse than
Hood River. Reports from Wenatchee
yesterday were to the effect that the
temperature had reached as low as s
degrees above zero and that the loss
would reach rs per cent. Yakima re-
ported temperature of from de-
grees below to 10 above, but no report
was made on the damage. At Spokane
the temperature was two degrees
above.
Other districts will suffer greater
than Hood River because Of the lack
of storage facilities. Hood River &
loss was minimized because of the ad.
equate storage TERMINALS here.

Both young men, who were popular
in local social circles, hold commits

The letter expresses an uncertainty
on the part of English people as to
when the war will end. But MIR.

MIR. Banham plan to return to their
Hood River orchard as soon as they are
mustered out, provided they are so
fortunate as to escape death or serious
