THE EMANCIPATION OF THE FARMER’S WIFE

How Can Domestic Science, Being Taught In The District <* Schools, Help The Farmer 1 s Wives?

Never perhaps in the history of the world have the ideas of utility and efficiency been so strongly emphasized in everyday life as they are today. More and more men and women are demanding that employees, methods, processes, machines? every one and every thing, shall accomplish desired ends with reduced effort, increased dispatch, and greater certainty than ever before. It is a matter of common observation that every day sees improvements in all lines of business and in every profession. Each step in progress indicates a greater emancipation from manual" drudgery. Still, with all this movement, the farmer’s wife, weary, dejected, almost hopelessly struggles through her routine of work day after day without conveniences, without assistance, without a knowledge of the best ways to utilize energy, She has the care of children, of the house, the garden, chickens, and numbers of things that occur unexpectedly—so unless she is competent, the waves of discouragement will be overwhelming at times. Now the question is, how can the district school help the farmer’s wife by teaching domestic science? The chip is going to hasten home to mother with the things she learns, or .makes, so without effort the mother is going tp glean many fundamental principles. She has had but little time to read and no time for clubs or lectures, so these practical demonstrations will be alike interesting to pupil and parent.

They will help her td arrange her work more systematieally. The teacher may instruct in three different ways: first by doing the work herself, having the child tell or write of the process; seeond, by each individual having certain things to do after the teacher instructs them; third, by the recipes and* methods being given them and the work done at home being brought hack for criticism and inspection. It will be wise, perhaps, for these to he carried out as equipment and conditions demand. I would suggest mother’s visiting day occasionally. The parents will be brought in more direct contact with the school and will be able to more fully appreciate the efforts of the teacher. They will cooperate and be in more receptive moods, one with the other. The child will teach the mother the essential, practicable and serviceable things to buy aftershe learns. There are three kinds of needles, a few. especially good sorts of thimbles and scissors and how and why thread is numbered, the various tests by whieh fabrics may be dis-

York city, just as he concluded an address at the fusion notification meeting. Physicians announced he suffered a stroke of paralysis and said his condition was serious. Miss Nellie Pregle, 18, was instantly killed, one trainman suffered a crushed foot and four passenger* were seriously injured when a freight train crashed into a crowded West Michigan street car at Indianapolis Monday. Conductor Patterson gave his motorman the signal to cross the track, not having seen the freight train backing. f A lost ad In our classified column will restore the lost property nine times out of tavf Republican classified ads bring results.

She will be more capable of selecting the materials most suited to her particular use.

As a home decorator the farmer’s wife is often below the average. She hasn’t taken time to blend or contrast colors, but when the daughter comes home enthused with a color scheme, or with an ideal furnished room in view, she looks around her and is convinced that the ideal arrangement the girl speaks of would be far prettier and more convenient and ]>ossihly it would cost not a cent more. So the plan win be changed from one to the other, maybe not at once, hut as her ideas broaden through the influence of the daughter. Then in cooking, most farmers* wives are extravagant. The supplies are plentiful. One reason for this is carelessness, another is ignorance. They/do not know how much of certain kinds of meat, vegetables, fruit or bread is sufficient for a person, so in order to have plenty, too much is often prepared, and in these cases the remainder is thrown away because of the inability to utilize left overs. How the mother through the child will learn how to make appetizing dishes of these things, she will pay more attention to detail and become more accurate in measurements. The result will be less money expended for food stuffs and better prepared food. As she becomes acquainted with the different uses of different articles of diet in the body, and finds out that you can actually change a man’s temperament by changing his rations, she will have a healthier, happier family around her. Now you can readily see that the child will be delighted to experiment, so the mother gets a great deal more assistance in performing the many home duties. The real rasponsibility of actual training is shifted from home to school, thus relieving her of another trying ordeal.

No other study can be more prafr tically applied at home than domestic science and it will be the means of establishing more beautiful homes, with families better dressed and better fed, presided over by competent, contented mothers. For without doubt domestic .science in the district schools will In many respects prove the real emancipation of the farmer’s wife. By a Patron of Burnstown School, Barkley Township.

NEW DEPARTURES IN OUR SCHOOLS

Manual Training, Domestic Science and Commercial Branches Offer Varied Opportunity. $.• ■ The modern ideas of vocational training arg being, advanced in Rensselaer and our school board is working in harmony with Superintendent Dean and his able faculty in promoting advantages heretofore denied thC students in our public schools. The results attained so far are little short of marvelous and the enthusiasm shown by pupils proves the practical value of, the new departures. The writer visited the schools with a view of asccrfcaing what was being accomplished in the manual training, domestic science and commercial departments and was enthused by the activities of the students and the progress in the installing of equipment, etc. No patron, of the schools and no person who realizes the value of early training can help appreciate the importance of the work now being installed and The Republican is pleased to announce that before long, when everything gets to working smoothly it is intended to have a parent’s day and give all an opportunity to witness the el asses at work. JMW

A brief discussion, at this time will prove interesting to our people and cause them,- we are sure, to feel just pride in our school system and the opportunity that has unfolded with the construction of the new high school building. Manual Training. This department was very ably started by Janitor Eldon Hopkins, who assisted all who cared to take up wood workmanship, prior to this year, when a special department was made of the work and an instructor employed. Mr. C. D. Cleaver has charge of the department and seems to have a splendid grasp of the work. The manual training room is in the basement of the high school building. There are five large work benches and five small work benches, the latter arranged so that two can work at a time. The room and equipment now accommodates only 18 at a time, but 2 or 3 more work benches and a number of general tools are being ordered and when they are received a larger number can work at a time. % Mr. Cleaver requires each student to make a drawipg of the plan of whatever he is to make before he starts construction. This gives accurate measurements, careful joints, avoids wastes and is also gooc arithmetical practice. It is the intention to work up to the point where blue prints are used for the better grades of work. Blue print mechanics are the best paid and the most efficient and the ideals in this department are to attain the best. The blackboard is used in the instruction work, for drawings, for use of correct terms in the trade and for correct spelling, thus fixing the entire technic firmly in the mind as the work is being executed. At present there are about fifty grade and forty high school hoys taking the manual training work, which is limited to wood workmanship. The classes are not yot well established, hut will ho to greater advantage with the installation of the new work benches and tools. The first job undertaken is the making of kitchen tables for use in the domastic science department. The first table or pattern is nearing C/ompletion and, with it as a model, nine more tablas will he constructed. The plan of these tables is original with Mr. Cleaver and others of the faculty concerned with the domestic work and it has been designed to be of the greatest convenience to the kitchen. Much other small work is being done and samples show that there are some fino embryo mechanics in the classes. Domestic Science. Domastic science is perhaps better named as home economics. As taught by Miss Ethel O. Dyer, a graduate of Purdue and who is proving an able artisan in getting the work started, it consists oJf three branchas, sewrufK cooking and sanitation. As the work is compulsory for all girls in the 6th, 7th, Bth and frashman classes, it looks like the time was coming when there would be no girls who were unable to perform household duties. In the sewing room there has been taken up -the making of many useful things, particularly aprons, towds, etc. Neatness of stitching is encouraged and care in the making of everything, avoiding wastes, etc. The cooking department is just being started. Brand new kerosono stoves,nine in number, have been ordered, three by each of the local hardware merchants, and six of the stoves have been installed. The others are on the way. The merchants very generously and much to the pleasure of the school board and faculty supplied these stoves at virtually the cost price. Tables, dish pans, baking pans, dishes, bowls, knives, forks, spoons, and rolling pins have been purchased and two girls work at each table and have one complete set of utensils between them. The utensils are kept In dftwers,' all shining bright with eleanliness and all arranged In the same order and with the utmost precision within the drawers. To begin with each girl was required to make a diagram of the arrangement for future use. It Is

expected to drill system into each mind and thus to avoid untidy kitchens. A stock room where extra equipment, towels, cooking materials, etc., is kept, adjoins the kitchen. Each day two housekeepers are assigned to the task of issuing the things to he used and the housekeepers, have to see that each pupil at the conclusion of the lesson leaves everything perfectly clean and in the proper order. Each girl has a spotlessly \white apron and buttoning over this is a small towel and also buttoned to it is a holder pad for handling hot utensils. Each girl makes some article from a recipe, two girls at each table working together. The housekeepers perform the work of cooking in addition to their work of issue and inspection. Each pupil is responsible for the condition of the table, stove and all equipment. The danger of disease germs forming where decayed matter is allowed will constitute an important sariitary study. Miss Dyer seems able to interest the girls in the work and this fact indicates thorough success. Commercial Department. For many years there has been a demand far exceeding the supply for bookkeepers, shorthand reporters and typewriters. Educated young ladies and young gentlemen who could spell and punctuate cor- , reetly and who could write intelligent business letters and who understood business forms. The high school has been turning out a large number of graduates who were unable to attend college and who eould not engage in any occupation aside from labor and make good wagas. Strange though it may seem, it has only recently dawned upon educators that these things could be taught in the high school. This important work has been taken up here this year. The course is elective and docs not interfere in any manner with those who wish to take classical courses or to become teachers or professional men or women. The popularity is proven by the fact that there are fifty pupils taking the various branches, including four post-graduates who are in this way getting excellent business educations and fitting themselves for employment or for independent business. The International text hook is used for the bookkeeping, the Gregg system of shorthand is taught and the typewriting Is taught with a view to accuracy and speed. There are seven typewriters on hand now, two Underwoods, two L. C. Smiths, and one each of the Remington,* Smith-Premier and Monarch. These were purchased at the school which is a great reduction from the list price. These vocational training opportunities are sure to aid in building up our schools and will help our community as nothing else could do. The school board and the faculty should have the most hearty support of all in the establishment of the new branches and our people should advertise our school throughout the county, thus giving all parents an opportunity of sending their children here, so they can have the advantages of our progress. In this connection The Republican wishes to call the attention of all readers to an article contributed by “A Patron of the Burns’ School,” which offers some fine thoughts on the advantages mothers may receive through the instruction of domestic science in the schools. Tho paper was read at a literary meeting at the school house and the name of the contributor is withheld at her own request.

Automobile registration in Wisconsin this year has reached 34,170 and the year’s total promises to be closo to 35,000. This is an increase of 10,000 cars in one year and the total value of Wisconsin automobiles Is estimated at $40,000,000. There are 6,049 motorcycles registered. Repair work is being turned out at the damaged Stony Island shops of the Nickel Plate about as speedily as it was before the fire. Workmen began reconstructing the building a few days after the fire and within a very short time the structures will be in ’their original condition. The damage was a great deal less than the first reports would Indicate.
