THE AMERICAN HOME.
How 1t Is Probably Affected by the
Apartment House with Its
Modera Appliance.

I have no mind TO harrow up the
minds of my readers with any eXplica-
ton of the miseries and mysteries that
confront the average housekeeper in the
daily maintenance of a simple but COM
Portable existence for her family; as
for herself, an existence at all seems
a struggle which at times she would
gladly give over. One might define a
heroine as the average American wom-
an who does her own housekeeping.
But some hint of the unnatural and IN
happy state of affairs existing at pres
ent may be deduced from the consid-
GRAFTON of two economic facts. First,
woman is, by nature, home four der
and a home maker. This is not intended
as an assertion OF personal belief, but
as a statement of scientific fact. 1t
was woman-not man-who opened the
industrial world; it was woman who
made the first rude dwellings, and
dressed skins, and wove textiles for
clothing. 1t was woman, and not man,
who made the first fire, and the first
utensils for cooking, and the first rude
tools for industrial ends. All her ac-
llNlileS clustered ABOUT the Dedfln ana
Ininistered to the home. If the woman
and the work had not reacted upon
each otherso that, to-day, women should
be by nature home makers and home
lovers, there are still depths for the
scientists to sound in the working of
heredity and of natural selection. And
yet-here is my second fact-the enor-
nous piles of stone and brick rapidly
filling the choice plots of ground in our
large cities and shutting out the light
of heaven with their gabled tops, are
mute if not magnificent witnesses to
the fact that the investment of capital
is all against the perpetuation of the
separate home. The shrewd modern in
weston is willing to put hundreds of
thousands against hundreds of dollars
that flor his lifetime at leas) women
are going to prefer the ease of the
apartment hotel to the separate house
its privacy, its own table, and, alasl
its own service. Helen Watterson

IN THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Some Reasons why Women Are In
initely More Successful Teach
ers Than Men.

THE chief and underlying cause of
The Decay of the Sunday School,"
says Edward Box in Ladies' Home
journal. lis the selection of incapable
and incompetent men as superin-
tendents. If men of broader views and
keener perceptions were superinten-
dents of our Sunday schools, the neces-
sity for a few changes in the teachers
would at once be apparent, and they
would be promptly made writes Mr..
Box. "One of these changes would be
that the masculine element in the ac-
tive conduct would begin and end with
a superintendent, a competent assist
ant or two, and systematic librarian.
The sooner that our churches realize
that women. and women alone, should
be the teachers of the young in their
schools, the nearer they Will come to
the ideal condition. The more woman
has to do with a child, the better for the
child. And the more sympathetic, ten
der and well-bred women and the few
er men we have as teachers in our Sun
day schools. the better it will be for
the children and the schools. But no
WOndu, Occupl6u III DuSiHeSS uuIluS the
week, should, either of her own volition
or under pressure. allow herself to be
permitted to act as teacher in a Sunday
school. When a woman is engaged in
business for six days of a week her Sun
day should DE to her day of rest. Her
place in church or school orr Sunday
should be that Of auditor; not Of work
er. a little higher order of in
telligence is vitality necessary in our
Sunday school classes. We demand this
of our teachers in our secular schools,
and parents have a right to ask it Of
the Sunday school. 1t is not enough
that the Sunday school-teacher should
be spiritual; she must have intelligence
wherewith to apply her spirituality to
the very best advantage and by the
most attractive methods. Young girls
are to-day teachers who should be in
classes. To bring home a spiritual les
son to the mind Of child is not play;
it is an art, and calls for experience
with children. knowledge Of human
nature. an understanding Of the very
highest and deepest truths IF life"
