HARRIS ; Homes for the Teachers What Another State is Doing to Solve the Problem of Better Instruction in Country How to secure and keep efficient teachers is the problem which confronts: every school district. Several of our more progressive states are solving the = | problem by providing homes for their teacheys and reports from the commun= ities where this plan is being worked out ate unanimous in their enthusiasm and high praise of its success. Of the twelve states where the teacher’s cottage plan is developing, Wash- ington is far in the lead with 108 cottages. . They vary from lean-to shacks built against the sides of the school houses to modern bungalows and two- story houses in consolidated districts. Not only has the standard of these schoels been raised by the service of more capable teachets but the community life has been enriched. With a teacher on the grounds to keep the school house open and warm it becomes an inviting' social center, and in many instances the “teacherages” themselves are opened for delightful social activities. A teacher with a home interest in the school will beautify the grounds and keep the school property in repair. In one Oklahoma school the teacher used the grounds as a demonstration plot and taught the boys practical farming while his wife taught the girls domestic science in her kitchen. £ It has been objected that such a cottage would not be a suitable home for a young girl since she would have to live alone, but so far there has been no _ difficulty on that score. There has always been someene—a mother; sister,” brother, aunt or friend to stay with the young lady teacher. 7 The most formidable objection is that of expense but communities in other states are finding jt worth the price in the higher teaching standard it brings to the work. Here is something in which the women of North® Dakota might - - well interest themselves. The schools are their charge. If they want better schools they can bring about improvement by organizing to carry on the work. “Made in America® Those of you who believe in. the constructive kind of patriotism which secks to build up the industries of the nation will be interested in the mammoth “Made in the U. S. A.” ex- Mrs. Genevieve Clark Thomson position to be held in Washington, D. C,, from May 23 to June 2, under the auspices of the Women’s National Made in the U. S. A. league. Mrs.. Genevieve Clarkk Thomson, daughter of Speaker Champ: Clark, is head of the executive committee of the league, and the patronesses of the exposition will include many promi- nent women. Better High Schools “The county high school has served its purpose. Its hope in the future is in becoming an agricultural and in- dustrial institution. The rural high school is brirfiin’g about the change. The time is ¢oming when every bo; and girl in rural communities will have the opportunity to obtain a high school course in their own neighbor- hoods,” was the 1;{rrop!'uxsy of Rev, Walter Bur of the Kansas Agricultur- al college in a recent address before a community gathering at Monmouth. THEY BAKED BREAD Graduates at A. C. Show Practical Knowledge The graduation exercises of the in- dustrial courses of the Agricutulral college this year consisted of demon- strations by the graduates, an inter- esting number being a demonstration on “A Few Essentials of Bread-Mak- ing for the Home Makers” by Miss Charlotte Horne. This departure from the old custon of orations and speech making is evi- . dence of the new conception of educa- - tion which gives due importance and dignity to the practical side, though without neglecting the cultural. O o l IN WOMAN’S WORLD l o : ——0 Miss F. Pearl Mitchell of Missouri has chosen farming as a career. She has owned and managed her farm for 17 years. Miss Mitchell is president of the Missouri Farmers’ club.and an active worker for the movement for/ women’s clubs in the country. At the 111th annual exhibit of the Pennsylvania academy of fine arts the prize award of $250 went to a woman, Mrs. Marie Danforth Page. The prtze prize was awarded by. popular vote. : ; _From now on all aliens taking out their declaration papers in the U. S. will be required to furnish the names of their wives.
