A considerable number Of our boys are
becoming very handy at our wood
working shop. Some Of the boys can
lay flooring, single, make crates, bale
shingles, and do almost any job that
the men do. This is real education,
and the very best kind. One Of the
things we teach our children is to
WORK. Any useful work is honorable
but to be loafer or parasite is the
most degrading of occupations. We
try to encourage the girls and boys to
learn to do all kinds Of useful work.
Down here, girls drive team, pillow, cul-
tivate, and work in the gardens and
fields the same as the boys; and the
boys cook, sweep, and wash Dishes the
same as the girls. At the kindergarten,
you would be surprised to see the lit
tie folks busy helping to prepare their
own meals. set tables, sweep the floors,
get fuel for the fires. and wash and
dry the dishes just as grown-ups do.
Do they like it2 Why, Of course they
do! and they are anxious, as well as
proud, to do it. So many people make
| the great mistake Of believing children
do not like to work. 1t is as natural
for them to be active as could be; and,
where the activities are directed to con-
structive work, they are just as happy
as they are in any other kind of play.
IOf course, their director should always
see that they are not put up against
too hard jobs, or work that would tire
and discourage them. The physical
culture class was held as usual at the
lclub house, and the band practice and
agricultural class were held at the
school house,
