It is conceded that a well balanced,
trained mind Is more capable Of grasp
Ing an idea, solving a problem or
performing the domestic duties of the
home than the ignorant mind, which,
through generations OF slumbering has
become dormant and well nigh In
capable Of Independent action.
We not infrequently find ourselves
surprised at the grasp a girl, gradu-
ated from one of our best colleges.
will have upon the domestic problem
heretofore unframed in that particu-
lar hne-when through marriage or
other circumstances she is thrown
upon her own resources, overlooking
the fact that the years in schoor and
college have laid the foundation--un-
less these years have been failure
for the work, not always chosen, that
circumstances may dictate.
On the other hand, we find ourselves
still more surprised that the average
Ignorant foreigners upon whom we
mainly depend for our domestic serv-
Ice. do not perform those duties to our
satisfaction. 1t is absurd ana shows
our own ignorance to expect mora
than the majority perform. Reared
In the field, accustomed to the coars-
est food and surroundings, without
training. how can we expect them to
have any conception Of our standard
Of refined living.
That is but one factor IN the do
nestle problem ana a very small one
at that. The condition Of domestic
service today-which we homemakers
so deplore--has it's roots IN a much
greater problem. If the domestic
problem were solved. we would flnd a
revolutionized world. the brotherhood
Of man established.
When we understand the higher
significance OF 'sNoblese obiIges we
shall consider the result Of our greater

The Service Problem.

A continuation of the discussion
started last week is extended by the
following excellent articles:
AS a seeker after knowledge rather
than one capable of imparting wisdom,
approach this subject. The domes-
tic problem seems to demand more
discussion than the tariff it furnishes
more material for the facfle pen than
presidential campaign; more food
for the cartoonist than the motner-in-
law question. After all, what is this
domestic problem? It is the question
Of obtaining and retaining competent
servants to perform the necessary
work in the household Does not the
solution lie in the simplifying Of the
domestic machinery in order to rem
der service unnecessary? There new
er win be girls ready to work In our
Kitchens until domestic service has
become a profession and commands
the same respect as the law, medicine
or teaching. 1t will be a joyful day
for the busy housewife when gradu-
ates in domestic science take charge
of the kitchens. The ideal method OF
housekeeping at present is to be inde-
pendent of servants and have a COM
petent woman come in to do the
heavy work. But in Lewiston there
seems to be no competent woman to
come to the assistance OF the busy
home maker. Until the great minds
of the age have solved the problem Of
domestic service, we can do nothing
but make the work of housekeeping
as light as possible. serve simple
meals and entertain our friends with
as little ceremony as may be. True
hospitality lies not in elaborate meals,
but in making the guest feel he is be-
Ing entertained for the pleasure of his
company MRS. e. s. WOOSTER.
