WHAT COMMITTEES ARE DOING Tweallrlk Irnlotr llevlval of Uraio. era tie Spirit Hrlaaa thoit IH mrrr f Mew Hemisphere of Onportltr. Clarence A. Terry of the School riant CtllUatlon Inquiry. Russell Sage founda tion, writes: The school plant of America la valued at II .000.000.000 It lies Idle 61 per cent of the available time, when It la used only for day school purpose Aasuming that the full use of this property Is worth to the community 5 per rent upon the Investment Its employment for day Instruction only would Involve aa aanual waste In the t'nlted States of I'm. & .(. As was said recently: "Most of us no more appreciate what It means to have these possessions than the people of Hu rope. before H?. appreciated what It meant to have the earth. There waa a whole hemisphere of Incalculable wealth and opportunity about which they knew nothing. And in the school plant there la a whole hemisphere of value unrealised, undiscovered by those who think of It at Imply a building for the education of chil dren, with the added use ot an occasions! evening school." The school building should be the capital f ths neighborhood, the focal point of edu cational, recreational, political and eoclal life. Ita Importance as a place for the de volopment of Intelligent publlo spirit through the free discussion of public ques tion Is fundamental, for "those who are opening .our school houses for the largest public service are simply carrying on the traditions of freedom." The primitive gath erings of free men In ancient Greece and Rome and 1'alesilne, the folk moot of northern Kurope, the New England town meeting, which often took place In the little red schoolhouse, are the precursors of the larger use of the schoolhouse. which, instead of being a novelty, Is "the twen tieth century revival and expression of the democratic spirit which has been vital at Intervals for more than 2.000 years." Old Times and the Vfw. Hack in the eighties It was customary to turn the schoolhouse over to the janitor at 4 o'clock for sweeping. An hour later he locked the doors and the building was not used by anybody during the rest of the day. When he got through on Friday aft ernoon the school premises were cloned until the following Monday morning. On Saturday and Sunday the school grounds were shunned as forbidden territory. Dur ing the long summer months no one en tered them, except posaibly the workmen who went there to make repairs. The whole school property was used from 9 to 4 during IN) days out of the year about 29 per rent of the total usable period. Hut within a couple of decades a vast move ment has been started for a wider use of the school plant, and many communities are now receiving much larger dividends upon their school Investments. Many activities are now carried on in school houses after day hours. Evening and vacation schools, playgrounds In school yards during July and August; evening recreation and social centers during the winter months, free lectures, entertain ments. Indoor sports, folk-dances, civic and educational meetings In school assembly rooms and gymnasiums thee are the chief ways In which the taxpayers are now get ting more service from school property. iOvenlBajk Schools and Others. Evening schools are now maintained In over a third of the cities having more than 8.000 Inhabitants. In 1908-9 the enrollment In the night classes Increased nearly ( per cent over that of the previous year ten-fold the per cent of Increase In the day school enrollment during the same period. The growth of after school ac tivities is more noticeable, however, In the cities ot 30.000 and over. Practically all of these support night schools, two thirds of them have school house lectures and en tertainments; one-half of them have sum mer playgrounds; and one third hold vaca tion achools. In New York, Chicago, Roch ester, Newark and Milwaukee the school boards themselves are maintaining recre ation or social centers during the winter evenings, while In a doxen other places similar work Is being carried on by play ground associations and other voluntary organizations. In Rochester, where every other school house haa become a neighborhood social renter, an extensive use of classrooms is being made by men's clvto clubs for non partisan discussions of political questions. I'laee for Political Mretlage. "The school houses are the places for political meetings," said a county chairman In a Rochester social center. "I do not mean that they should be opened to any one political party, but to all. Why should 1 be compelled to go Into a barroom to ad dress a political meeting where the bar tender Is using me to advertise his beer? Why should 1 be compelled to go Into a smoke-tilled room to talk on political Issues when we have Dulldlngs like this where thoso things ran be taken upT" How easily the ordinary public school plant becomes the focusing point for the social activities of the neighborhood Is il lustrated by the Rochester public school "Number Nine." Besides being a day, evening and vacation school and serving as a public club house for men, women and boys and girls, the building is used as a moving picture theater, a lecture hall, a gymnasium, a bathhouse, a dance hall, a library and a playground house. A free dental clinic la to be established !'. It and It has already become a public health office. Its yard Is used as a playground, an athletic field and a school garden; with a little more ground for a park the whole plant would come close to the realization ot the ideal social center. Is there any other American Institution that so naturally at tracts to Itself all the varied Interests of the community? (rotvth ot Movemeot. The movement for the wider una has reached wider proportions. The University of Wisconsin has engaged Edward J. Ward, the man w ho organized and for three years ran the Rochester social centers, to assist the cities and towns of Wisconsin to start similar social work. The commissioner of education will add an expert on school extension to the staff of the national bu reau when congress gives him the Increased appropriation he has asked for and the cabinet has O. K'd. The 1911 year book of the National Society for Study of Educa tion will be devoted to the topic. "The City School aa a Community Center." The wo men's clubs In many places are agitating the subject of winter evening play centers as the natural complement to the summer playgrounds. In Iexlngton, Ky , the Women's Civic club filled whole pages of the local newspapers with information about the social benefits obtainable through the wider ute as the argument for a new model school building, In an ener getic campaign to raise the seeded funds which was brought to a successful termination. KING CORN'S GREAT HARVEST Instructive Mtatlstlrs of Production, Arrestee, Kami Value and Average Price. Official reports show that the corn fields of the I'nlted States In 1910 covered 114, OHO.OOO acres, some 178 0w Hquare tulles, about the area of tha eleven states east of Ohio and north of the Virginias, say 90 per cent of Furtica or Germany. The product was probably nine-tenths of all the corn tsrown In the world. Its farm value was Il.&,Oii0.uno. The acreage planted has Increased nearly 40 per cent in ten years; in I'.'OO It was fU.SfcM") acres. The yield was S.lSTi.il&ooo bushels, an average of 27.4 bushels to the acre. The average crop of the preceding ten years was twenty-six bushels. Commenting on acreaye yield In a recently isstied official bulletin the bureau of plant Industry says that twice twenty-six bushels an acre is a good crop and four times that' Is fre quently produced. This official publication opens with the statement that "It Is possi ble within a few years to double the aver age production of corn in the I'nlted Slates and to accomplinh it without any Increase in work or expense." That Is, two bush els of corn being produced without in creased cost w here one bushel Is now pro duced the unit cost of production would be leduced one-half. Farmers are in wide disagreement regarding the cost of pro duction. There are (aimers who Insist tnat c oi'n c annot be produced for less than 40 cents a bushel and there are others who declare tiiat they are producing It at a cost of '.0 cents a bushel. Assuming 10 cents aa a fair average and assuming that the bureau of plant Indus try knows Its business, It appears that our corn crop costs about $47o,1,oijO a year more than It should. This Is a good deal more than the sum quoted by Mr. Aldrtch as possible to be saved by the government and alno a good deal more than the sum that Mr. lirandeix said could and should le saved In railway operation. The bureau adds thut it is not deHltuble to double the the present crop, but to produce the uame yield on a smaller number of acres and Willi less labor. It Is asserted that prog ress Is heltm made in the direction of that eminently desirable en 1, and the figures support the assertion, although somewhat feebly. The increase of l.ow.Ouo.OOO bushels in the crop of 1910 over that of I'.M) seems due rather to im ieascd a reage cultivated rather than to ln recisu in acreage yield. There are sections of the country that are regarded as pai licularly suited to corn cultivation, notably the m.ddle went and the south. Tha northeasti i n coiner of the country Is not Included In the hpecially favored sections, and the states east of Ohio and north of the Virginia produced lust year a little lei's than 5 per cent ot the total crop. It Is, however, to be no ticed that the average yield In that section averaged 4i 4 Lunlicli, a compared witli f.l in Illinois, In Indiana, 'M j in Ohio, 10 3 in Iowa, ID in Kama,, -till In Texas and h in Nebraska. There Is alo a wide variation in local prices. Thus the price on Iicccniber I, ll'lO, Is reported as 71 conts in Maine, 70 cents In Massachusetts, to c uts In Connecticut, cents in New York, to cents iri 1't nnsylvanla. 4C cents In Ohio. 40 cents in Indiana, :'.H cents in Illinois, 'Hi cents In Iowa. 45 cents in Kansas, Do cents I In Montana. 1110 in Arizona and so cents In California. The price sstein Is not at all cbar Theore tically It might b based I on price at some point or points of largest production plus the cosl of transportation I to other market, but a review of quotations suggests the operation of ot Influences. The average bushel price . the farm for the entire crop of 1'Jlu given at 48.S cents, as compared with ' cents In 1H09. 60.6 cents In i:kw. lid in and 3C.6 in lOOt!. The average for the t year period 18Wi to HKX, inclusive was cents, with a range from :'l 5 cents in to 0.5 cents In lliol. The average for last five years Is u2 1 cents. Hn Inert of 40 per cent, over the aveiage of preceding ten years. In tiiat fact a broad explanation of the Increased t of beef and various other c.imni .ditle New Vork riun.
