AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS Practical Methods Suggested by Superintendent Hyatt Nearly every one believes that the schools must become more closely allied to the industries by which the people live. Particularly, California schools must be open to the genius of Agriculture. Now, there is danger, when the professional educators take hold of a live thing like this, that they will squeeze all the real life and interest out of it in order to teach it in a conventional way. When it becomes embalmed in regular text books, perfunctory recitations and periodical examinations, it falls of its real mission. It does not get there. If it would truly succeed ways must be found to keep it alive, to keep it in touch with country life, to invest it with the realities of extracting a living from the soil. It is easy to agree, writes State Superintendent Hyatt in a recently issued bulletin, that the schools shall take in agriculture. But it is difficult to find out just how this may be done. No one knows as yet. There must be myriad experiments and a thousand grotesque failures before we succeed. The causual observer does not dream of the difficulties and the stumbling blocks in the way. It is the work of years. It is highly desirable to build up a spirit of sympathy for agriculture in the minds of all the people, and to bring them into actual contact with the agricultural life. For many generations everything in education has tended away from the farm. The district school never does one thing in all its course to prepare a boy or a girl for living on his father's farm. It always heads him rather toward clerkly or professional pursuits in the cities. The object of this bulletin is to emphasize the fact that we must find needed and ruddy, and habits of industry, thrift, and independence are formed. Really, this is a patriotic enterprise for all concerned. The alien laborers that we draw in for this temporary purpose do not leave the country when the work is done. They must be reckoned with and supported by the nation for all time to come, even when the work is needed by our own people. II. School Gardens The raising of a school garden is a most delightful and practical method of approach. Not all teachers have knowledge and sympathy that make for the highest success, but nearly all come of ancestry that lived by the soil; and if their minds are open, their hearts willing, the old interests will come back. Not all rural schools are adapted to gardening; but many successful school gardens are raised at the homes of the children. There is no higher or more inspiring opportunity for a genuine teacher than to lead some children in the preparation and the planting of a piece of ground, be it large or small, and in the finding out about the plant and the insects that come of the venture, day by day. Our state university has been fostering school garden work for some time under the direction of Professor E. B. Babcock. He has prepared the following epitome for this bulletin: "The college of agriculture and the state experiment station have shown an intelligent interest in the cause of more widespread and effective instruction in agriculture for several years. In 1905 the arguments in favor of introducing agriculture in the public schools were clearly set forth by Dr. A. C. True, director of the office of experiment stations, United States department of agriculture, at the combined state teachers and farmers institute which convened in Philadelphia." fended and written.

For many generations everything in education has tended away from the farm. The district school never does one thing in all its course to prepare a boy or a girl for living on his father's farm. It always heads him rather toward clerkly or professional pursuits in the cities. The object of this bulletin is to emphasize the fact that we must find something different from the traditional text book method of approach if we would really get agriculture into the public schools; and to call attention to two or three ways of approach that are different, viz.: Harvesting the Fruit Crop. School Gardening. Organizing Boys and Girls Agricultural Clubs. I venture to distinctly suggest that it is in some such ways as these that the schools of California will best undertake the new subject of Agriculture—by finding ways to actually co-operate personally with the nearest agricultural industry, by entering into the spirit and its labors. EDWARD HYATT, Superintendent Public Instruction. I. Harvesting the Fruit Crops A movement has started in the prune orchards of the Santa Clara valley that bears so directly upon these educational questions that it is here illustrated and sent out for the consideration of the horticultural people and the school people of other parts of the state. The idea is to enlist the interest and the labor of the children and the people of the villages and the towns in the harvesting of our perishable fruit crops, paying them full market wages for their work, furnishing them safe and attractive camping places, facilitating their coming and going, and giving them a season of healthful, active, outdoor life. This is a practical course of study in California agriculture that may well command the co-operation of the educational forces of the state. The school term may very well begin and close so that the children and their parents can take part in the chief industry of the neighborhood. The curse of the fruit grower is the lack of labor in the gathering of his crop. This it is that brings indigestible foreigners upon us, Japanese, Hindoos and Chinese. This it is that is forcing much of our richest lands into the hands of aliens. The safety of our nation lies in having our land "The college of agriculture and the state experiment station have shown an intelligent interest in the cause of more widespread and effective instruction in agriculture for several years. In 1905 the arguments in favor of introducing agriculture in the public schools were clearly set forth by Dr. A. C. True, director of the office of experiment stations, United States department of agriculture, at the combined state teachers and farmers institute which convened in Berkeley. This might have furnished a logical starting point for an aggressive campaign of propagandism in favor of legislation designed to force the introduction of agriculture in the public school curriculum, as has been done in certain states. But California has been spared such legislation, and it is only in certain counties that agriculture has been added to the list of subjects for supplementary reading. "Belleving this was not the right way to secure adequate instruction in agriculture, or any industrial subject, the agricultural experiment station published a pamphlet on school gardens and distributed over 10,000 copies to the school people of the state. Up to this time very few of our county manuals had even mentioned school gardens as being worthy of serious consideration on the part of teachers, although several had listed agriculture as a seventh or eighth grade subject, and even prescribed a text. Surely, this is beginning at the wrong end. What we want to do is to get our boys and girls interested in the problems of the community in which they live by having them take some part in it. "Educational ideas are gchanging. Everett Shepardson says: "We are insisting less persistently on unimportant details of information and are properly magnifying the importance of exercising practical judgment in likely situations. Not what the child knows, but what he can do is becoming the chief criterion of promotion. Not what does he remember of memorized stuff, but how effectively can be respond in situations such as those in which he is to find himself later? Something is wrong when our plans of work do not appeal to the boy or girl with exuberance of life." "Agriculture is not a talisman or a patent process by the addition of which to our list of common studies we shall attain to this ideal. To really teach boys and girls something about agriculture, we must first have real nature-study in the prim- educational forces of the state. The school term may very well begin and close so that the children and their parents can take part in the chief industry of the neighborhood. The curse of the fruit grower is the lack of labor in the gathering of his crop. This it is that brings indigestible foreigners upon us, Japanese, Hindoos and Chinese. This it is that is forcing much of our richest lands into the hands of aliens. The safety of our nation lies in having our land owned by our own people who earn their living from the soil. It is a splendid tifting to see the schools closed and the villages depopulated during the harvest season; to see the mothers and the children living outdoors for a time and helping to pick the hops, gather the grapes, dry the peaches, take care of the prunes, apricots, tomatoes, and all that. It makes stronger, happier, wholesomer people. Everybody may well join in it. There is no loss of dignity in it. It advances the interests of California's great industry, the industry by which we must live for centuries into the future, with the world for a rival. It is truly educational, in the best and highest sense. Homer A. Craig, a fruit grower at Campbell and president of the farmers' union, is the leader in this idea. For four years he has been giving it practical trial in his orchards. He finds that by offering employment to whole families and providing them with decent opportunities to live during the fruit season, he can avoid the use of Asiatic labor. The children old enough to work take part in the industry, and the little ones play about under the watchful eyes of the mothers. All gain health and vigor, cheeks fill out, faces grow tan- "Agriculture is not a talisman or a patent process by the addition of which to our list of common studies we shall attain to this ideal. To really teach boys and girls something about agriculture, we must first have real nature-study in the primary grades, including gardening and experimental work with soils, seeds, plants, and animals, all designed to form the background of experience needed for comprehending a text when it shall be taken up in the grammar grades. This can and should be done before pupils enter the seventh grade. The college of agriculture is now sending an instructor to several schools in Alameda county to assist in beginning this experimental work and gardening. At the completion of each week's lesson a leaflet will be prepared giving the gist of the work and telling how it was done. Teachers desiring these leaflets should write to C. A. Stebbens, college of agriculture, Berkeley, California. CLOTHES AND THE WOMAN Good Dress Does Not Make Her, But Adds Much to Her Happiness Perhaps you don't like slang. Even if you do not, you may still use the verb "to dike," because, strictly speaking, it is not slang, but a colloquialism, and I will not state in what locality it is in current usage lest some of the highbrows of that interesting neighborhood become of- ANAHEIM GAZETE fended and write me angry letters. But if I were writing a dictionary—which I am not, and never intend to—under the D’s you would find: Dike, V i, to dress in one’s best, to put on one’s gayest clothing. Example, “I am going to dike up in my sheath gown today.” All this, of course, is very simple and elementary, says a writer in an eastern exchange. It is now necessary that we look for the benefits and the pleasures to be derived from diking. And do not be mistaken—these are very real to every woman worthy of the name. Where is the woman who does not thrill at the rustle of silk petticoats, the soft wrinkling of a long suede glove, the alluring smartness of tiny slippers with scarlet heels, the filmy wonder of fine lace and the seductive beauty of a titled Virot hat? She may not possess these things, but she loves them just for their loveliness and their delicious femininity. Many women keep some lovely treasure of this sort hidden away for years, taking it out now and then to enjoy its charm. One woman I know has a most exquisite shawl of black Spanish lace which she keeps thus wrapped in scented silk. Another, whose life is very humble, saved for five years to buy a feather fan with a long handle studded with turquoise enamel, and this, too, lies in her dresser, unused but gloated over. This sort of thing is what I call a purely esthetic dike. Now for the real one. Some day you may be feeling very blue. You got up a little too early and it gave you a small headache,and you had two or three tiresome letters—and well, what’s the use of describing it? We all know those days. Now, this is what you do: Go up to your room and dike. Bring out your best silk stockings,and other things, and after you have done your hair smartly, put them all on. After this, your best hat and your best RESOLUTION OF INTENTION, NO. 93. A resolution by the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim determining that the public interest and necessity demand the acquisition, construction, establishment and completion of a sewer system for the City of Anaheim, including the acquisition of a sewer farm, a right of way thereto for an outfall sewer, the acquisition of a septic tank, sewer pipes, man holes, hand holes, flush tanks and all other necessary materials therefor and all necessary appliances with which to equip and operate said sewer system, including all necessary expense of laying sewer pipes and constructing, installing and establishing said sewer system, and all incidental expenses connected therewith; and that the estimated cost of said municipal improvement is ninety thousand dollars.

The public soon finds out when misrepresentations are made, and merit alone will stand the test of time. Anaheim people appreciate merit, and many months ago local citizens publicly endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. They do so still. Would a citizen make the statement which follows unless convinced that the article was just as represented? A cure that lasts is the kind that every sufferer from kidney illis is looking for. Mrs. E. Kraatz, S. Claudina St., Anaheim, Cal., says: "In May, 1907, I publicly recommended Doan's Kidney Pills in return for the benefit my son received from their use. For a number of years he was troubled by a weak back and other symptoms of disordered kidneys. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Mullinix drug store, removed his trouble and made him feel better in every way."
