Superintendent McFarland has received many letters of appreciation from teachers and parents in his county. One teacher writes:—
The system helps, in bringing the school and home closer together by letting the parents see that we count the practical duties of the house and of the farm of actual value in the training of the child.

Another writes:—

We are taking into account the fact that cleanliness on the part of one child usually forces another to clean up on account of the inevitable contrast.
