PERMANENT HELP
FOR HOUSEWIVES
Home Demonstration Work Not War
Activity Only-Sone Calls for the
Agent This Month Enumerated.

Home demonstration work is not a
war activity only. 1t was inaugural
ed before war times, but spread more
rapidly during the war as the conser-
walton program could be materially as
sisted by it. 1t is to be a permanent
help for housewives with their many
problems
Here are some of the calls for the
Windham county home demonstration
agent to answer in January, 1919:
Three meat canning demonstrations.
These to discuss and demonstrate safe
and practical methods of canning and
preserving meat for summer use. Pork
to be emphasized, since that is what
many people have been raising and are
| killing during the cold weather This
helps the housewife to plan meals with
foods more evenly distributed avoid
| ing the old method of much meat in
winter when plenty, little in summer
since it is scarce and difficult to keep.
One demonstration and discussion ON
meat cuts. having a half pig and a
quarter of beef TO cut, explain the
best uses of the different parts and
discuss means of preservation.
! One meeting to discuss community
plans and arrange for the loan of a

the early history of Vermont. The re-
moving of the schools has changed the
neighborhood conditions and the direct
influence of the schools in rural eommuui-
ties is no longer felt. 1t is a fact that
many of the high aspirations of those who
are of influence in our state can be traced
to their training in the rural school, and
many of the best motives of our own
lives trace back to these school DAYS.
The state board will recommends; first.
that the transportation law be changed
by modifying it, leaving it so that the
directors may transport, subject to proper
appeal if occasion arises; secondly, that
the educational law be modified toward
the restoration of the rural school. The
following figures are interesting along this
line. Prior to 1916, before the present
law became effective, there was general
transportation under the town system of
transportation which did not carry com
pulsion. In that year 1923 children were
carried to school When the new law
went into effect there was an increase to
5,424 children in 1916 and there was a
like increase in expenses from SIPS, 600 to
1857 900. There was a reduction IN 1917
and last year but 1900 children were
carried although the expense increased
owing to the fact that people find that
transporting children to school costs more
than it used to.
The restoration of the rural school will
mean that vacant schoolhohses will be
used, others repaired and some new ones
built. 1t will probably cost little more
than transportation but the parents will
be better satisfied likewise the farmer and
it is claimed that the state having origi
nally made the change should help in this
expense.

State Board of Education
Will Recommend it to
Legislature
TRANSPORTATION
COSTING TOO MUCH
Modification of Present Law Covering
That Subject Will Be Suggested With
the Idea That Considerable Economy
May be Effected.

Especial to The Reformer.)
MONTPELIER, Jan. 5.
Transportation problems have become
serious questions in the educational sys-
TEN of the state according to recommen-
datons which the state board of education
will make to the coming legislature in
its report. 1t is costing the towns in
the state more than 100000 annually to
transport children to the schools while
the total cost is over 900, about one
half being paid by the state and the
other half by the towns 1t is understood
that the legislature will be asked to change
the law governing the transporting OF
children
! This problem is three-fold: First, the
| farmers and parents are not satisfied with
! the present transportation law Two
cases are enough to illustrate this dissat-
isfaetion. In the town of Barnard a
farmer paid well for farm because it
was near a school, only to find this year
! that he must carry his children to school
| the one that was conducted near his
home having been closed Another case
has developed and the man having fine
farm cannot sell it because it is too far
! from school. This transportation plan
takes the children away from home much
of the time. In Tinmouth they have tc
be carried away Monday and brought
back Friday night
The second problem has to do with
the towns attitude Transportation j;
costing almost 90 per cent as much as tn,
salaries of elementary teachers and the di
Irectors are finding it extremely difficult t,
provide transportation at a price that il
within the means of the towns. The schoo
directors are between two fires, on the on,
side trying to keep down expense relativ,
to transportation. and on the other tn,
insistent demands of those who regarC
transportation as means for securing
4 town money.
The third reason for the proposed
change is from the state point of view
The elimination OF the rural school i
said to have destroyed an institution
which of old PLAYED an important part il
