The first Electrical Light plant

student of 4GuUowheeNormalvand

spare from schools for nearly two
years in designing and ;buildihg a
water wheel power 'station and in
wiring the house, in plans ' required
by the under writer in putting up
his transmission line-nd in install
ing his dynamo. -He turned on the
lights for the first time, as a Christ
mas present to his family, the 26th
of December which have given
great comfort and satisfactiom He
has his plant arranged so he can
turn on the lights any time day ; or
night. For everal years he has
been studying and working on a
wireless station and has received
over instruments constructed, by
himself, the first wireless message
ever caught in Jackson county.
The Electric Light Plant was de
signed and built primarily by him.

The gtirpose of the schooVis verr
well expressed in tbeill ' that" pro
videsfor the "Farm Ufe'rschbol
which was passed by the legislature
of 1911. The bill says, Sec; 2TThe
aim of said school shall be to pre
pare boys for agricultural pursuits
and life on the farm,' and to prepare
girisfor home-making and house-
keeking on the farm.' ; 'c
Now it is an evident fact thatwe
are entering, an era that calls for
trained men in all walks of , life. It
is necessary forthe lawyey , to spec-
miiy prepare mmsen ior xne prac
tice of law. It is also necessary for
the doctor to become versed in the
medical science before he is allow
ed to take the life of a patient ? in
his hands. Before any , degree of
sdcces can be attained in any oc
cupation, it is necesiary. to prepare
for that particular profession. We
see this illustrated in all the walks
of life. , Ourrgreatest lawyers, docj
tors, teachers and preachers lare
those men in their respective fields
of endeavor.
- - - . ,
Farming is a profession. There
fore it should call for' professional
men to practice it. But the ques
tion ts, "Where are those profession
al farmers coming, from?" Do our
public schools turn them out? How

tion of this kind will make country ;
life worth living. Every boy Should -be
taught to work, and how tp work
and how to do all kinds .of work s
if he should make a failure at one
thing, he can readily turn:his hahd
to something else. Every oby should .
be taught how7 to ntake good hus T,
bands and fathers, - that they may
fill their place at the head of the
home with honor and distinction.
The girls should be taught how to
make good wives and momei This
implies arranging the home in the
best possible way; neat housekeep
ing, good cooking, cleanliness, eta
the girls should be early taught
how to dress with a view to preserv
ing their health, but I would riot ,
like to be their teacher along this
ine. A weak and diseased body
carries with it a weak and d:ssased
mind. The Farm Life school prc
perly managed will teach the peo
-
ple how; to save, and use everything
oiner aiong i;ne lines or agricultural
progress. A school of this kind will
be the crowning climax in the field
of education in Jackson county.

FARM LIFE
Editor Jackson County Journal
I am heartily in favor of J:he pro
position to establish a farm life
school at Wecstor, for many reasons.
I hope that it- can truery be said
that, when the polls are closed on
the evening of the 14th of April, not
a single vote in JacksonCounty has
been cast against the measure.
Yours truly,'
