(By EDGAR A. srAhTon.)


 The purpose of this discussion is to show the lack of cooperation be- tween the parent and the modern school and to suggest remedy for the condition.
 Many times the best way to under stand thing is ito begin with q study of it's history. In the present case let us see how separation be- tween the work of the parent and that of the teacher came into exist ence by re.racing the steps that brought about that result
 Do we find schools in which tse cooperation betwsen the school and. the home is quite evident? Wc do not have to go. far for an example The education of the native Alaskans before they were, touched by civil ization furnishes an illustration The boys and girls were Instructed in the making of tools and implements, the construction of boats and houses. the obtaining and preraration of food and clothng by their fathers and mothers. The tribal customs, super stitions, ceremonies and religion came from the same source or were imparted by the old men of the vi'- lage. The subjects studied were the everyday duties: the teacher and parent were often identical; the house, sea or shore was the school room. Of course, we cannot go back to such condition of things even if it were desirable But the pioneer school, such as is familiar to many of us, and which is approaching Ill some parts of the country today. was. much closer to the home life of the. people than is the present institution. The ties of home and farm but they were simple. The teacher was a special. ist but frequently he engaged in the same occupations of clearing land, building fences, hunting, etc. as did the other men of the community. He knew well the homes of his pupils for in many cases he lived in them for weeks at time He understood the circumstances of those under his care, their history and their plans for the future. Everybody has fair " clear idea of what was going on in the schoolhouse. In addition that building, with its spelling. matches. Reclamation contests and debates, was usually the social center of the neighborhood And it was often also used for religious purposes. x
 In the main, the parents. and the pioneer school understood each other well. Tomorrow we will sketch the events that produced great change

SHOULD
Be ON GUARD FOR
NEW CROP ENEMIES
EEL WORM" and "BORER" BOTH
OLD WORLD PESTS APPEAR
In WHEAT AND CORN.

East Lansing, Mich, Feb. "a
warning to be ON the lookut for two
new pests-the eel worm Of wheat,
and the European corn borer--is be-
ing communicated to Michigan farm
ers by the department Of entomology
Of M. A. c. Both insects have come
into the United States from Europe
"A new eel worm disease of wheat
has recently been introduced into
America from Europe" declares
Prof. Rufus J. Petit, "and it now ex-
lists in California, New York, Geor-
gia, Virginia and West Virginia. These
little worms produce gals in place of
the kernels. These gals are dark
ened and hollow and externally look
somewhat like cookie seed. The
name of this eel worm causing this
trouble is Tylenchus tritici. 1t is a
serious pest and is easily spread
about, being carried on farm tools
from field to field ana feet of animals
and laborers. Keep a sharp lookout
for this insect and if you find any
thing suspicious, seal it up tight and
send it to the department OF entomol-
ogy at M. A. c. The remedies rec
cmended thus far for this pest are
the use of disease-free seed, rotation
and avoiding the carrying of infection
or farm tools or on the feet of man or
those of animals.
"In addition to the eel-worm disease
there is new borer called the Euro
pean Corn Borer, Pyrausta Nubilalis.
This creature lives in corn, potatoes,
beans, beets, celery, spinach, geran-
iums, and number of other flowers
and ON many weeds. 1t tunnels in
the stalks and in the ears of corn
and is capable Of producing enormous
losses. 1t is at present restricted
to part of Massachusetts"
