Golden Age Of Labor

Probably at no other time In all
history was the lot Of the laborer
nearer a golden age" than II was
"a the Fifteenth and early part OF
the Sixteenth centuries. At no time
we're wages, relatively speaking,
10 high, and at no time was 1000
70 cheap. In England. parliament
made constant attempts to reduce
the wages, but they kept high and
finally became customary. Even
tually, of course, living costs
mounted and the laborer's lot again
approached its norm. But during
the years of his paradise the hours
were short; eight being the COM
mon days work; the period OF win
ter wages was brief. being Decem-
Der and January; the rate was just
a good whether the labOrer was
employed for day or a year; and
In some cases he was paid for every
day including his Sundays and holi-
days off.-Detroit News.

WHY

WHY!
THERE are a number of people
= "sot" In their ways who do not
believe in mixing business with
pleasure. They are wrong. A dash
of fun will take the bitterness out
of labor, as nothing else will. To
my mind, fair is the leaven that
makes a farmers work something
beyond the mere earning Of q live
ihood.
Naturally, the real goal of most
work is economic. But if along
with the money return, the farm
er can get the fun of friendly COM
petition, he is that much ahead.
When he is spurred on to turn out
a finer dairy COW, or finer dis
play of fruit than his neighbors,
there is an added relish in his sue
cess. 1t draws a farming commun-
ity together, gives it something 70
talk about, something for which
to plan, an object besides the mere
mere market price of produce.
Incidently,- fairs have done q
great deal to improve the quality
of farm products. Instead of good
variety, the best is wanted. Atten-
ton is paid to the details of breed
ing and nurturing. Improved meth
DDS bring blue ribbons and pleas
ant feeling of pride in ones work
So we have fairs, and each year
their value is enhanced. Success
is directly relative to the numbers
who interest themselves in the pro
ject. There will be another year
but you will have to he on thu
jump to get ahead of this year.
winner. That's one OF the g0o'
things about fairs. They DON
stagnate. It's up to you to keel
| up with them.

IRRIGATION IN DANGER

WHEN the air conference held
w this summer at Boise was
turned into an impromptu irriga-
ton discussion, it was decided to
call a Western States Reclamation
Congress at Salt Lake. The reason
lying behind this is the hostility
to western irrigation projects
which has been cropping out in the
East.
Large sums of money have been
spent in the last rs years on re-
claiming arid land in the West.
Federal aid has been largely re-
sponsible for the beginning and
success of these projects. Benefits
have come only Indirectly to the
East. Unaware of and unrealizing
the great good that has come to
our portion of the country through

DEADIN'. ritin,, and srithmetic


ASwere old standbys when lessons
were taught with hickory stick
to roomful of youngsters from
the kindergarten to high school.
There was some spelling, history,
and "joggerphy" thrown in, bat
that was about all.
Schools have undergone rather
startling change since that day.
Nowadays the curriculum covers
nearly every phase of human act
ivity which we encounter in adult
life. Added to this breadth of scope
is a corresponding depth. Success
full or not, it is the object of the
new education to inject into studies
meaning beyond the superficial
one. An effort is being made to
adapt the education to the specific
needs of the child, rather than to
give him varnish of culture.
While the curriculum of the
high school covers agriculture,
commercial training, ancient and
modern languages, science, manual
training and drawing as well as
the classical standard subjects, and
the universities go vastly farther,
the grade schools are devoting
much of their time to practical
citizenship courses, hand work, and
all sorts Of projects planned to
teach the young child how to think
for himself.
Education, after all, cannot be
accomplished by thrusting before a
group of children mass Of rough
~ classified facts. A person might
be in possession of all the facts
IN the world, but unless he knew
their relationship and meaning, he
would be truly ignorant. It would
be as If you memorized long
novel in French, without knowing
the meaning or a single word.
Of course, parents want to shield
their children from the hard buff
fets of the world as long as pos
sible, want to protect their sweet
innocence. But knowledge which
comes as a bolt out of the sky is
much more painful than that which
comes to US when we are prepared.
II a child is already equipped with
the tools to think, to form judg-
ments, he will be much more able
70 stand the shock of finding that
the world is not all a rosy cloud,
and will come out of it sane and
sure, instead of unsettled and un-
certain.
It is to give him this foundation
that our school are including the
courses that they do. It is not
merely high-falutin' nonsense, but
a carefully-planned attempt to fit
your children more honestly and
thoroughly for after life.
