School Credit for Farm lasks
Washington, July 29.—The idea that
certain practical work done by boys
and girls on the farm should count as
credits in the agricultural courses of
the rural elementary and high schools
is growing rapidly in popularity among
educators. The basigi for this idea is
the belief that the “farm may and
should become the logical laboratory
for testing out the putting into prac
tice much that is taught in the schools
and that the schools by giving credit
for home work can and should encour
age boys and girls to make profits for
themselves or to become more directly
helpful to their families. Educators,
however, find some difficulty in defin
ing just what work that the boy does
on the farm should receive an educa
tional credit and how many credits
should be alloted®for the different
kinds of work whicn really help the
boy to master progressive methods.
To assist the superintendent of the
schools and teachers, the specialists in
Agricultural Education in the states
relations service have recently pub
lished U. S. Department of agriculture
Jalletin 385, School Credit for Heme
l%ctice in Agriculture. This bulletin
wilich may be had free by educators
as long ‘aB the department’'s supply
lasts, devotes a number of pages to ta
bles and examples showing the na
ture of school credit projects and the
amount of credit to be granted. It is
recognized, however, that Feal coop
eration on the part of the parent is
essential and the author thus defines
the part the parent must play in any
plan tor making school and farm work
closer together in the interest of ag
ricultural education.

Lord Derby Declares Britain
Is Not Tiring of Great War
London, July 28.—“ Great Britain is
not tiring of the war. On the contrary
the country has never been more hope

Mmner director of recruiting and now
under-secretary for war, in an inter
view today with American correspond
ents, whom we welcomed in his new

~ “I want you to impress upon the
’;fimurican people,” Lord Derby contin
ed, “‘our determination to destroy the
ecorts of Germany to dominate the
world. The fighting now is terrible,
50 awful that not a man actually in
it——ourselves as well as the Germans-—
ever wants another. But we must
puszh our victory until we make it im
possible for the German rulers to re
vive the conflict.

GREAT AMOUNT OF NEW
BUILDING IN THE SOUTH
o Columb&fim 27.—The Industrial
Index says in ftg issue for this week:
“““The great amount of construction

in a constraction way the southeast
will be busier even in the last half of
the year than it was in the first.
“A notable feature of industrial con
ditions is the great variety of enter
prises represented by the new manu
facturing plants and that are being es
tablished. Some of them will utilize
resources of this section that hereto

“The fact that a new era of progress
and prosperity is beginning in this
section is becoming more and more
appareunt. Developments that not so
many months ago would have caused
comment now are regarded as a mat
ter of course—and such they have be

mit the pupil to use specified land, an
imals, and equipment, either as a tem
porary owner or as a tenant so far
as the needs of the project is concern
ed; (2) to grant the pupil the time
needed for the work and to verify and
vouch for the time record; (3) to in
struct the pupil in the necessary ma
nipulation so far as practicable; (4),
to allow the pubil the profits derived
from his own labor and management.
The last point is not always feasible,
particularly where the pupil takes up
one phase of the main business of the
farm, such as the weighing and testing
of milk for a dairy herd. |
The parent must at least give an
unbiased voucher of the time and ex
pense record, and a strpement that
the project work was all done by the
pupil. In the ahsence of an advisory
committee or an inspector, the parent
is the judge as to when the pupil has
accomplished a task successfully.
Where the pupil’s time is much
needed by the parent in regular home
duties it may be well to advise that
the pupil take over some part of that
home work as a project. This will
insure the cooperation of thg parents,
although the “managerial” income may
not come to the pupil. ¢ "
! The school should not only give cred
it for work for which the pupil gets
pay, but should consider the relative
income or profit as one important fac
tor in determining the school rank giv
en on the project.
To insure success, it will be very
desirable to have a memorandum of
rgreements signed by all parties be
fore the project begins; a report in
full from the pupil, and a voucher from
the parent at the end.
both sides to the controversy shows
they have not changed a hair in their
opinion that the war must be prosecu
ted with the utmost vigor.
“The military situation is satisfac
tory. 1 am not in a position to give
you details of the actual operations,
but I can tell you that on a recent
visit I found every one at the front
fully convinced that we were started
}on the straight road to victory.
“The way may be long or short.
Any man venturing to phophesy the
length of the war is foolish, but I am
convinced that ultimate victory -}ill
be curs without question. Our volun
tary armies have proved equal to the
best conscript armies. In saying this
[ do not mean to under-rute the effic:
ency ©? iron discipline, but it is diffi
cult to equal the spirit of volunteers.
“We have no desire to partition
Germany. Some of our colonies may
insist upon the retention of the Ger
man colonies, but that is not what we
are in the war for. We want to pre
vent future wars, and we want the
United States with us in this, not for
this war, but hereafter.

personally I want it to go as far as
