based, In agriculture it is coming tc
be clearly seen that teaching the boy
how to plow or to perform any Other
farm, opera ton is not the most i'm
portant service which the school car
render. There, must be added to this
definite and careful instruction in the
principles on which agricultural prac
tice is based. The farmer must be
taught to think in the lines where Sci
ence has shed light upon his art if his
practice is to he most thoroughly sue
cessful. Fortunately, science has al
ready much to tell the farmer which
is most useful to him, and every year
sees an increase in the great store
from which the agricultural student
can safely draw.
The Teaching of Domestic Science
boy in agriculture and engineering
needs to be done for the girl in do
nestle art and science. And already
the beginnings of far-reaching effor,
in this direction have been made. The
teachers of domestic science are not
content to follow a dull routine Oh
household drudgery in their teaching
They are appealing to the scientist
and specialist in lines which touch the
home life to explain the principles On
which home practices should rest and
to show them how intelligent taste
and skill can make the home a pleas
ant place to live in, and how scien-
tific knowledge can enable the home
keeper to maintain the health and
generally promote the physical we'll
being of those committed to he1
charge. Some progress has been made
in formula ting the replies which sci
ence is now able to give to inquiries
relating to domestic science and in
undertaking Investigations with a
view to greatly broadening our knowl
edge of these matters in the days tc
come.
The Departments Work for the
Home. In the great work Of help
ing the women of our land, nearly
half of whom are toiling in the homes
upon our farms, this department, it is
believed, has large duty to perform

raising the grade of the home life or
the farm, in securing the better nour

in surrounding them with the refine

alike to the material prosperity of The
country and the general welfare O.
the farmers. The Investigations which
the department has undertaken OF
the food and nutrition of man hav,
already been of much service to The
teachers and students of domestic
science, and it is hoped that these in

more helpful in establishing scien

The president of the general federation has
wisely said that she would never advise a
club to make profound study of social
ditions unless its. members intended to apply
that knowledge for the betterment of those
conditions 1t will have the effect ct harden
ing them rather than of increasing. their

Mr. Howells, who cannot usually be said to
fatter women. has recently said in speaking
Of America a land where the effect Of
honor paid to, women is especially shown:
1T is not for nothing that we have privileged
women socially and morally beyond any other
people. Our women are, in a rare degree,
the keepers of our consciences. They infu-
ence men here as women influence men no
where else on earth and they qualify all our
feeling and thinking, all our doing and be-
ing. If all our literature at its best and our
art at it's best has grace which is above
all the American thing in literature and art,
1t is because the grace of the moral VOID
where our women rule has impaired itself to
the intellectual world where men work.
We bow our heads in humility as we read
his words; but we lift them again as he points
us to the time when this grace of the moral
world where women rule shall touch the ina
and redeem the gross business world from
the low ideals that govern il" and we say:
This Is purpose"
Keep your eyes open when you buy goods
of any sort. Refuse all substitutes for stand
ard advertised articles.
