Her education and experience raise her to

not as a means for egotism or self-suffi-

Teaching a CGmd Mt Home.

A mother who writes to The Woman's
Home Companion is not so convinced as
some people seem to be Of the advantages
Of tina great American institution, the
public school. She does not even recon-
ment a private school. 1t is the home
school that she has chosen for her daugh-
ter. The little girl was sent to school at
the usual age, and had the good fortune
to be put in charge of an ideal teacher, but
the experiment proved so unsatisfactory
that she was Withdrawn In a few weeks
and now does her lessons at home.
There were so many children that the
teacher could give little Individual atten-
ton to any Of them, and as some of them
were not so bright as others, the time OF
the brighter ones had to be wasted while
the teacher explained things to the dull
ones. When the home school was begun
the first important discovery made was
that an hour and a half every morning
and every afternoon was enough to cover
all the work that had been done at school,
with the addition of two daily lessons In
German. No time was wasted hearing
others reclte or waiting for the next les
son, and the little girl had a strong in
centive to concentration because she
knows that when lessons are over she
can play. II is not a question of putting
In a certain number of hours. She learns
her lesson and then recltes II to papa or
mamma wherever they happen to be, and
she studies wherever she chooses, on the
porch, by the haystack, or flat on her
stomach on a rug before the fire.
The mother admits that It has not been
easy and that II she had ten children she
could not do it. but with only one she
wouldn't think of giving up the home
school.
Other people urge tina "a child needs
the contact with others; that It is the in
alienable light OF every American child to
go out into the world and rub up against
its fellows. and learn to fight It's own bat
ties and make Its owp way"
"Witn boys-pcl haps." comedies the
mother. IT have not decided about boys.
I have only a little girl. But when I think
Of sending her out at the defenceless age
Of 6 years to rub up against the world,
to learn to fight her own battle and tc
make her own way, somehow It does moi
coincide with the ideal I have in mind for
her." And as for the incentive Of com.
petition, the little girl completes with her
own best record. She wins over her past
best, and her victory does not mean tn,
defeat Of her dearest chum."
But these uojectlons do not come from
teachers. it is the parents who max,
them. The educators with whom the
mother has talked have said, without ex-
oeption. that the home school, with in
divldual attention to Individual needs, and
carefully selected playmates, is far better
for the child than the public school and
contact with all sorts OF children.

The board Of education also maintains
that ''the three obediences" and the -four
virtues must be extolled. The three obed-
fences" are: The daughter must first obey
her parents, then her husband. and then
her son. The four virtues are chastity,
proper language, devotion to household
work. and proper demeanor.
Apparently. II the present trend Of things

Take the suppleness Of the serpent and

a lily and the slender neck OF a swan, two

ing gold, two soft caresses; take these,
with some sunlight and the soft ripple of
the rivulet, and the sparkle and reflection
OF divine intelligence and grace, and mix
them we'll together with the life and love
Of God, and 10, that mysterious marvel, a
woman.
But take
A dachshund waist or the waist of a
spider, a straitjacket, a flower garden in
bloom set on straw, a dash of darkness,
vermilion blood and some enamel from a
charnel-house thread spun by worms, some
silver and gold, the skin OF dead animals,
q double portion of unique attraction, and
OF the lust of possession and display; take
these, mix well together, and 10, q woman
as the milllner and fashion and vanity have
made herl
Look on this picture and on that. Young
women that are deceived by the gaudy
dash Of the milliner and man-made woman
are misled indeed. For the true man
wants today is a woman as God has made
her, with the light and purity OF divine
beauty on her brow and All graelousness
distilling from her lips. - Christian En-
