few years ago farmers in the northwest
found new weed, vile, prickly weed,

time this weed. the Russian thistle, has
spread over wide acres Of the best farm

How do these plants spread so fast

MRS. NlON E.AlsAEtsl.
onstrate that domestic science and do
mestic training were not one and the
same thing. Domestic science was the
training of mistresses, of heads of homes
and of experts in a comparatively new
field of learning. Domestic training
meant tho teaching and development of
domestic servants.
The fact was commented upon that
the schools of domestic science are not
patronized as they should be, and that
the women seem backward in availing
themselves Of the opportunities extend
ed. This is due in part 10 their lack Of
understanding of the opportunities Of
fered and partly TO the failure of hospi-
tails, sanitariums, homes and similar in
stitutions TO recognize the value Of
trained ability and TO pay the salaries
that such ability demanded. At the pres
ent time the majority Of such institu-
tons paid TO their matTons wages scarce
ly more than those Of their servants, no
matter how much training had been re-
quired to properly fit them for their du-
ties. What is wanted, it was contended,
is a more general recognition Of the
value of expert female services by those
in charge of public institutions
The report of the corresponding secre-
tary. Mrs. Alice J. Whitney of Chicago,
gave a brief history Of the organization
of the association and an exposition of
its aims. The organization was founded
by Mrs. Laura S. Wilkinson in 1891 and
grew out of tho committee on household
economics of the worlds congress auxil-
iary in Chicago The object Of the soci-
ETY. has been from the start 10 set do
mestic labor-all that pertains to the
home-on higher plane, to make tho
fashioning Of the future housakeepers
and homemakers an artistic study, that
the best thought of the coming genera
ton may be devoted to the realization
of an ideal home. which shall be the
stronghold from which shall emanate
character, strength, education and mo-
rality-the bulwark Of support to the
state and the nope for brilliant future
for the nation. Mrs. Whitney says that
the association has succeeded IN arOus-
ing great interest in the subject of sci
entific housekeeping among the wom-
ems clubs Of the country, and suggests
that the work can now be safely turned
over to the National Federation of We
mems Clubs. If this plan is not adopted,
she urges that general officers be elected
from all parts Of the country in order TO
obliterate in some degree the idea Of
Capitalization and give scope TO the ma
tional idea of the orgsnization.-Mil-
