Myrtle Harris. wish you lived near me.
] like to visit the sick. Your letters nave
such a help to our page l hate TO hear OF
your being deprived Of going to Sunday school
and giving up your class; too ,i love cnr my
members the responsibility Is greater. Every
Sunday school teacher ought TO order teach-
ers quarterly. They are such help. Oh mat
the scholars could realize now the teachers
heart yearns for the members Of her class To
50 study each TessOn that they will become 80
deeply interested they will ask questions or re-
late something they learned during the week.
Girls always go 10 your class even II some
young man friend is with you; ask him to so
enc, for good by going. Never for a moment
shake your head What would you think OF your
teacher II he or she had company and did not
fin his or her usual placer
Frances, enjoyed your letter on Teach
Your Girls 20 Sew il is so important that
every girl not only ought to be taught 70
short stitches with her fingers and should ne
taught to do her own mending and she should
know how To match thread so as TO make neat
darn.
But like you say some mothers do not know
how 10 sew. Two three years ago 1 was
visiting at a home where. the girl had made
her trousseau and in showing me her different
suits she came across beautiful new SIX
skirt and told me she would have to lay IT
aside she had only worn IL a time or two and
had torn a small hole IN IL She had plenty
and had never practiced economy. ! asked ner
why she did not darn II all the ravels were
there and one could make a neat job. She
replied Il don't know how. l wish / could get
some one TO darn ii for me-" This little Wo-
man never did take the hints she thought Tie
girl ought 70 learn for her Prince Charming
I had heard not one Of those young net
with plenty Of dollars. My. Myl Didn't Syl-
girsf The cap doesn't fit all the south Geor-
gis girls so we viii pass II on TO the other
girl. There are plenty Of girls that are not
above house work; they can wash and; to see
fhrFp 10, fwrr rra rrrnA fnI
die an iron too. And IL Sylvanus could but
eat some Of the crumbs from some Of their
cake ! dare say 'twould bring about a change
OF mind. But you reed not fear 10 visit the
other sex for you are ell right long as sou
are the only one that falls I'm love. Some girls
do not Ike to wash and iron because it causes
brown hands
1t is a dirty every house mother owes to her
daughters 10 teach them that house work Is
q wOman's highest work. II every mother would
teach her girls TO look upon home keeping as
a loved duty not dirty drudgery, and not be
continually telling the girls that they must
marry somebody who will take you out of all
this work and mothers should teach their
boys that they can work on the farm and have
white hands, tesch them how to economic and
you will see better homes and better communi-
ties.
