Chart illustrating work of the Home Education Division of the Bureau of Education and the National Congress of Mothers.

The community service includes agricultural demonstration, model kitchen and garden, community recreation grounds, community circulating library, centers of social activities.

A “practical ideal” for a consolidated school district showed a 10-acre school farm with an indefinite additional amount of from 10 to 40 acres for a district of 12 square miles, a population of 600 people, a school population of 200, 6 teachers employed throughout the year; a school building fitted up for school and community center purposes; manual training and domestic science buildings for school and neighborhood uses; residence for the home of the teacher and for social center interests; play shed; barn for stock and for

horses used in transporting pupils to school, as well as for the teams of farmers attending social, educational, or demonstration meetings at the school and on the farm; poultry house, runs, and yards; athletic field and playgrounds for boys and girls; gardens, demonstration plats, vegetable and field crops; nursery and orchard; and parks for neighborhood picnics and outdoor exercises.

The device illustrating the elimination of pupils from school showed that for every

60 pupils entering school in 1897–98,
53 were in fourth grade in 1900–1901,
25 were in eighth grade in 19045,
15 entered high school in 1905-6,
5+ completed high school in 1909–10,
3 were in college in 1910–11,
1 graduated from college in 1915.

Other charts in the exhibit illustrated problems of home education and the need for cooperation between home and school; the value of home gardens for city children under the direction and supervision of the school; the money value of education; the number and distribution of libraries in the United States; the kindergarten-—its growth, present extent, and needs; and the plan of proposed Federal aid for vocational education. Two charts presented facts on higher education. One that aroused special interest showed the development of higher education between 1875 and 1914 as illustrated by a large privately endowed university (Harvard) and a large State university (University of Minnesota). The comparison was as follows:
