20 THE GOAL ELECTRICITY 5 5LECTRlClTY, just think what a world of E wonder that word has in it. lt is the greatest force or power which we have to deal with H 5 in the world. It is the most convenient light we have. It can be used as a heating element, altho' it is more expensive than when used for lighting because the filaments of which the heater is made, burn out, and it also takes more current. Then it is used as a motive force for running motors. These motors develop hundreds of thousands of horse power in very little space. A motor the size of a wash- tub being able to develop two hundred horse power. Were it not for electricity we could not have trolley cars or our fast electric railways. We would have no submarines or electric mine, no great searchlights on our warships or for coast defense. which throw a light of a million candle power for many miles. Neith' er would we have lights for searching the sky for areo- planes. Now, last but not least, we come to the most wonder things of all, the telegraph and telephone. Were it not for electricity we could not hear the war news from Europe, until at least six days after it had happened. We could not phone for help in case of emergency. Then we have the wireless telegraph and telephone. lt is thru the help of these instruments that the war will be won as the communication between the gun' aimer and the areoplane is carried on with the wireless telegraph. ln this country we are forbidden to use these instruments, unless doing licensed work for the government, for fear a German spy would use them to send messages out of this country. There are yet many things to be invented along this line and tortunes to be made from it. Une is the invent- ion of a storage battery which will have a constant current. ln the future electricity will be the only power we have, therefore learn as much about it as possible. W. M. Schneider. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. 5C 5CAN we have Domestic Science in our village E C and rural schools? This seems to be the Q E question of so many of our people. They k U bring up the arguments of not having enough time, too many classes, lack of money and room, and also that it would take the minds of the children from their other studies. Most of our chil- dren in the rural districts have quite a distance to go to school. They get up in the morning and eat a quick breakfast and trudge off through mud or snow. At noon they eat a hurriedly packed cold lunch. What parent would want to put themselves in their ehildrerfs place? lt is true, they did it when they were young, and lived through it all. But this is no argument. No wonder so many of our rural children dislike going to school, and want to drop out as soon as they come to the age, when they cannot be compelled to go. We must make our schools interesting, attractive and comfortable. if we want good attendance and studious pupils. As far as the financial part is concerned, it does not take a large sum of money, for the equipment is simple. The outfit would consist of a gasoline stove, cooking utensils and cupboard and a few other uten- sils used in serving the meals. Each child to furnish his own knife, fork and spoon, cup and saucer and plate, which may be left in the school house. The pu- pils might be divided into groups, one group prepare meals one week, all working under the directions of the teacher. The pupils could furnish the provisions. One pupil bringing bread. another potatoes, and anoth- er meat. ln this way no pupil would be asked to bring more than one article each day. Written by Miss Helen Haupert, Class of 1920. 9.h Grade. CONSOLIDATION ? 'lgHl7l United States needs especially at the 5 T 5 present time more and better farmers. The E 2 farmers of today are up-to-date and eflic- x 5C ient. The form children need a good edu- cation. A great movement in this direction is coming about through the consolidation of the rural one-room schools. This consolidation is no untried experiment. lt has proven successful in three-fourths of the States of the Union. lt is an ever progressing movement. The conditions in the Consolidated School are mitch better than those ot' the Ilnral one-room schools. The water is supplied through fountains. while the fountain of the one-room school is a bucket or a crockery jar. The Consolidated School is heated by a furnace while the one-room district school is heated by a stove in the center of the room. The pu pils close to this stove roast, while those far away freeze. 'l he pupil-janitor as is nearly always the case, docs not keep the Hoor swept clean. 'l he janitor of the Consolidated School is efficient and keeps it clean. ln sanitary respects the Consolidated School far exceeds th'e one-room Rural schools. The teachers of the Consolida'ed School are more efficient than those of the district schools. The recita- tions in the one-room school are short and very numer- ous. The teacher must teach all grades while in the Consolidated School she can specialize on certain grades and her work is more effective. In the rural
