Girls brought up in a home to be igno-

Pedagogy teaches that interest is the
necessary element in acquiring knowl-
edge. Terrors in housekeeping vanish,
to some extent, when interest asserts
itself in domestic life. while the future
happiness Of all concerned depends
upon the mental attitude of the worker.
Nothing contributes so much toward
securing this quality as the lively de-
sire to do work in the best way to Sc
cure good results and conserve time
and strength.
Do l hear you say, "With SO much to
do. there Is no time to try new meth
DDS; the work must be hurried through
anyhow? The housewife is often an
all-round, intelligent worker who must
perforce crowd into her busy day work
belonging TO a dozen different profess
sions. The gracious lady who receives
her guests with a heartsOme welcome is
the capable cook. the exquisite laund-
ress, and so on to the end of the chap
ter.

mere drudgery, round of soulless rou-
tine. and void of pleasure.
While the table must be set and the
dishes washed three times day, and
the kitchen cleaned and dust removed
from the furniture only to leave a new
surface for more dust, there must still
be something outside of routine to
make these duties endurable and in
fact pleasant. AS much muscular en-
ergy is used in these duties as in tennis
or golf. but the state of the mind is
different. When woman Introduces
