Engineers, educators and agricultur-

miles into the country. are planning
sn exceedingly broad program of cleo
trical applications to farming, which
will be studied by means of this trans

in. operation. and the Investigation
which. 1t makes possible has just be-
gun
Several distinct phases of electrici-
ty on the farm are being worked out
under the leadership of Prof. E. A.
Stewart, project director Of the Uni

lege. The application to be made Of
electricity to poultry raising is typical
as to thoroughness.
The investigators will attempt to
demonstrate electrical poultry raising
by means of the electric incubator,
electric brooder. electrically lighted
henhouse and electric refrigerator
The program includes the application
of electricity to preparing the ground
planting the grain and raising the FEED
for the chickens, as well as the har

ings.
What electric power can mean is
evident when it is realized that agri.
culture is a great "basic industry:
that hard times invariably follow crop
failures; that irrigation is the solu-
ton of the western farmers problem;
and that electric power for irrigation
pumps is making irrigation easier,
more efficient, more reliable and less
expensive.
1t has been found, incidentally, that
in most cases the farmer wants to
install too large an irrigation system.
The ideal plant Is the one that oper-
ates continually and has a storage
reservoir so that large, expensive
pump is not needed

GOOD RECORD FOR COMMUNITY

Methods of keeping the attendance
records of children in the rural school
are far from satisfactory Usually
these records are kept in books
known as daily attendance registers.
In some states there is no uniformity
in the kinds Of registers used. One
register may provide for the name,
age, and days absent and present for
eli pupil Another may include in
addition, hardness, sex, and reasons
for absence. Very often no impor-
lance is attached to the preservation
of these registers, so that it is i'm
possible, in some instances, to make
a study of the rural attendance for
county or a state for a period of years
Departments of Education in few
states are awakening to the fact that
if the causes of absences are to be
known, and if preventable absence is
to be reduced, there must be some ade
quate and uniform means OF keeping
and preserving school attendance re-
cords The State Board of Education
in Delaware is making study Of
school attendance for a continuous
period of three years. The data are
collected by means of uniform record
cards which are provided for every
child in the state This card records
the child's name, nationality, sex, age
grade, number of days present and
absent, causes Of absence, transfers
to or from other schools, occupations
of parents, distance from school, pub
lie transportation and promotion.
The State Board Of Education of Mary
land has recently introduced a similar
card for recording the attendance of
all children enrolled in the public
schools of that State.

County Engineer c. J. Rogers was instructed to take up the matter with the city engineer and ascertain whether the city commission would be willing to help finance the paving, to cost ap- proximately $40,000.
