AGRICULTURE IN PUBLIC BSOHOOLS. While Attending School Paplls Will Have Power to Earn in After-School Hours, The moral, educational and econom- ic condition of children in villages, towns and small cities all over the country, especially factory towns, can be improved, in the opinion of United States Commissioner of Education Claxton, by a system of agricultural training which he hopes to have in- stalled in all the schools of the coun- try. “It will g» far to solve the child labor factory problem, I believe, '’ said Doctor Claxton, ‘for children un- der this plan will be able to attend school and at the same time earn more money in their after-school hours than they cau now earn in any factory. Their health, morals, educa- tion, all would be improved, “ The plan which I hope to see car- ried out is to have each school child cultivate a small plece of land. Even on a quarter acre a child could earn more by raising vegetsbles than he could obtain in a factory. At the same time the child would be gaining a valuable training getting kis educa- tion, keeping his health and prepar- ing to become a usefal citizen,” Commissioner Claxton has just re- turded from a tour through the coun- try, discussing educational matters with the state superintendents. He said he thought all of them would be willing to help in the town agricultur- al scheme. I ——— A ————— LOCALS, The Jacob Neese farm, in Gregg township, is advertised at private sale in this issue.

They believe that they are the victimes of unnecessary bardships. These pupils are anxious for the least oppor. tunity to complain of the conditions in the school rooms. They Imagine they need sympathy, and naturally they look first to their parents for that consolation, Very often the teacher corrects pu- pile early in the term in order that he or she may establish their supremacy in the school work, and by so doling prove themselves capable disciplin- arians, Buch pedagogues are wise in their actions, for it has been proven agsin and sgsio right in this community that without discipline a teacher's ef- forts are most futile. But when those uneatisficd scholars are corrected by teachers they general- ly “tell on’ the teacher to their par- ents and elaborate gufficiently on con- ditions that often the hoodwinked father or mother sympsthigss with their son or daughter and cood:'mus the teacher, The result is that the scholar Is im- mediately angered toward the teacher and maiotaips the spite throughout the yesr., Meanwhile lessons bave been prepared indifferently and at the end of the term little or po progress has been made in the eduction of the child. While on the other hand, if parents | will recovclle themselves sufficiently | to privilege the teacher to be unre. stricted dictator of their children’s bebavior during the scholastic year, conditions will be more pleasant for the parents, the pupils and the leach- er, and the results accomplished will be correspondingly gratifying, Co- operate with the tesohers, AP —————— LOCALS, The rain fall for August summed up a trifle over eight inches, five and one. fourth inches of which fell from the twenty-third to the end of the month, Come around to the Reporter's head. quarters at the Grange Eoocampment and Fair.
