That schoolgirls should help their
mothers with the housework. and in.

dishes during the fall and winter sea.
son. Is the opinion of q prominent
physician. who believes that a certain
number of home duties give balance
to the lives of these pupils and help
to keep them in normal mental and
physical condition.
Girls, whether or not their parents
can afford to keep servants, should be
taught when young to do housework.
and there is no better time for them
to learn than between the ages of s
and IA. when they are In school," he
says. "The home duties should not
be arduous ones. such as tire them
after studying during the day, but
light work that IL recreation, as. for
instance, busting the bureaus and
furniture In their own rooms, arrang.
ing their clothing in order on closet
hooks or laying them carefully folded
in drawers. Mothers should be care
full that the girls do not push or pull
heavy pieces Of furniture that might
strain the muscles in their backs or
arms, and should not permit them to
sweep. carpets or do any of the real
hard work. A certain number OF
hours must be devoted to play after
school closes each day, and every
parent should see. to 1t that the girls
in the family have regular exercises In
