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
