Mrs. Harbert an ex-officio vice pres
ident OF the National Household
Economic Association, which met in
Chicago last spring, advanced the
idea of holding meetings occasionally
in the surrounding towns, especially
parIor meetings, where it is feasible,
the plan was conceded to be a useful
hint. She also spoke of a projsct of
erecting in Chicago peoples build
ing constructed on economic princi-
pies and which should be center OF
education and recreation of various
kinds for the people-to feel that
they had an interest in 1t and that it
belonged to them. Another member
SAID she also had cherished such q
plan but was sure nothing tangible
would ever come of il until broad
minded men stood shoulder to shoul-
der with thinking women for they
would furnish the capital whenever
their interest was thoroughly aroused.

A Domestic Science Monthly, has
quite an article on the industrial
education OF women in Germany"
1t says first, these schools are all
strictly industrial or professional.
They make no provision either for
general education on the one hand or
for personal accomplishments on the
other, from the former they are hap
PLY relieved by the universal pres
enCe Of good preparatory common
schools, which puplIs are required to
have finished before admission. In
the other case, while the fine arts are
taught, they are kept strictly within
industrial limits, as a means of llveli-
hood or for purposes Of teaching, etc
These schools thus do not enter into
competition with other female schools
of either lower or higher rank. In gen.
eral the German industrial schools for
women are divided into four apart
ments. They do not include normal
courses at all-the normal schools be-
ing quite distinct except so far as
higher industrial courses are them
selves given as preparation for teach
ing. This fact as we'll as the more
thorough preparation of their pupils,
greatly simpli6es their work as COM
pared with our own. Another ad-
vantage, with, however, some draw
backs is that being situated IN large
cities, they are for the most part day
schools. The four departments are,
IN general, as follows:
The review course, including GER
tain school studies; the commercial
department; the professional depart
ment, including fine art; the domestic
department.

That the world moves is indicated
by the introduction of bill IN the
senate of the United States "to create
a bureau to investigate the adulters-
ton Of food products and for other
purposes" This was referred to the
committee on Agriculture and Fores-
try and has received favorable men

its individual members. The bill was
