EDITOR RHINES THROWS HAND
PRESS INTO. DISCARD

" Swanville News (28): A cylinder
press and, considerable new type has
been added to the equipment Of the
News office and more will be added in
the near future. The. old hand rless
that has seen service in the office for
many years has been thrown in the
discard and it was with rejoicing that
we saw it carried out of the door. We
thought of those hours we spent in
grinding out an issue on it while our
feet and back ached and our helpers
cussed and when we were all through
the paper looked as though mud had
been used for ink and only about half
the paper could be read.
: We have hopes Of getting out a
paper in the future that we need not
be ashamed of and one that it is pos
sible to read from the first to last

superintendent Of the Home School

at this state institution. If s- 4.
Mrs. Morse said in part:
After years Of study of the de.
ainquent girl, it lis found that her
J problem and need is that Of society in
general, an economic and industrial
need. Since the average girl is as
lacking in home sense as many citi.
zen is in community sense, the motive
ct the institution should be to supply
that, the lack of which has brought
the girl to itss doors. So the effort Of
the Home School at Sank Centre has
become an intensified attempt at home
maklng--the making of the good house
wives and mothers and, as such, good
citizens. r..
"Society's greatest need today is a
pulling together Of the family and the
home which are disintegrating under
some Of our social processes.
"The community plan, with its fam
lily cottages Of twenty girls each, its
gardens, farms and central interests,
is the first thing in the institution to
be istudied-eottages in which the
home life is in every way emphasized:
cottages where with every girl there
is emphasized personal responsible
ity;s cottages where the girl, a posi-
Bile future wife of some wage-earner,
is taught how to get the most out Of
little, how to make q home attractive
with smallest means and commonest
material in furnishings, but put to-
gether always with an eye to line,
color and harmony. She is taught also
how to fashion with her own hands

The work Of the girls on it, and ex-
planned how they by their being pro-

It was shown that in the

bushels of all kinds of vegetables and

A money system in the institution
