GOODS DRESS ON
:. 500 A YEAR.
Economics Students at Columbia
Work It Out in Theory.

Columbia, Mo-, April 80. = The
girls who study home economics in
the University of Missouri are learn
ing to dress on 500 year-theoreti-
cally. Each girl has been required
to hand in an ideal list of expendi-
lures for dress for one year. These
lists have been reduced until the ex-
penditures do not exceed 500. One
girls list was $500, another's 500.
MANY of the girls think that it is
impossible to dress on 500 a year."
said Doctor Edna D. Day Of the de-
partment of home economics. 1T
can be done, though. 1t is estimated
that the average family of five, with
an income of from $1,000 to 5000
spends about Is per cent of it on
clothes. You see that this will not be
far from 500 for each individual.
The average girl spends far more
on dress than is necessary. = Indeed,
l think that many young men today
hesitate to marry because Of this. l
think that large amount Of money
wasted on clothes is due to a lack of
systematic buying. When a girl buys
a thing because she thinks II pretty,
or because she may need it later, she
does not get the most for her money"
Doctor Day, head of the depart
ment has requested the board of
Curators to provide teacher Of mil
linery for girls in the department of
home economics.
She thinks it would be wise for the
goods to make their hats.
Some women spend hours in
painting china plate or burning de-
signs on leather, when their time
might be employed and their artistic
tastes better expressed in making a
hat. " she says.

Warrensburg Normal during the
summer.
Down at Harmony they are making
a special effort to even up on all the
work before school closes, and we
feel sure they are going to succeed as
they have about one month of school
yet. Several of the boys through the
influence of their teacher, Miss Mile
Cole, are going to try in the corn con-
test, also some of the girls have en-;
rolled in the Domestic Science Con-
test. This is one of the best school
buildings in the county and will meet
all the requirements for approval
when the time comes. Miss Cole
keeps her work up to the require
ments of the course of study in every
particular.
Down at Redmond they have sew
eral weeks of school yet. They have
a fairly good attendance and are do
ing very good work with Miss Dixie
Sharp as teacher. The pupils here
are making garden and are doing
very well with it. They have an
abundance of cabbage plants ready to
set out. This school has very fine
slate black board being different to
any have ever seen.
Over at Herrell they have a light
attendance and but few to attend.
The enrolment is small, and the
prospects are that they will have six
enrolled next year. These pupils
are making garden and doing fine
with the undertaking. They have
some ninth year pupils here who are
doing good work.
Over at Grand View they had a
very fine dinner and an excellent
program the last day. We are quite
sure if we could have such a dinner
every day as we had here we would
soon be fatter than at the presen.
time. | am inclined to think these
girls will enter the cooking contest

BATES COUNTY SCHOOLS
AND TEACHERS.
By County Superintendent p. NJ. Allison.

by iuuHtJ 4 NJ. AlllbUn.
Three days were spent in visiting
schools last week and most of them
were finishing up the years work
and closed Friday. AT Little Deer
Creek they were taking tests in some
of the subjects and the majority of
them did well. Three pupils in this
school took the county graduation ex-
animation, and while they would like
to have made better grades, they are
by no means dissatisfied and believe
their papers were given all they are
worth. They all did their best and
have grades as good or better than
the average. Miss Ruby Ricketts, is
teacher and is trying to leave her
work in accordance with the course
of study.
Up at Mingo school they were fin
ishing and evening the work for next
year. Miss Howell, the present
teacher, will teach the school next
year, and we are quite sure the Board
has done right in this, as Miss Hol-
well can take up the work next year
for them without loss and since she
has done good work for them this
year it is due her that she should be
retained. The pupils of this school,
who took county graduation, are sat-
isfied with the results.
Over at Olive they were practicing
for the last day exercises, and they
expected to have big dinner in con-
nection with the exercises. We had
special invitation to be present but
on account of having accepted at an
other place could not attend. The
pupils taking county graduation here
expressed themselves as well pleased
with the results. The patrons of this
district voted to build a new school
house and expect to have one of the
most modern and up-to-date buildings
in the county. They will put in a
ventilating system something that no
other school house has. Miss Dora
Rush is teacher and prepared very
neat and attractive program of the
exercises.
Griggs has a light attendance due
to the rush of work on the farm. Mr..
Howell, the teacher, has just been
offered the principalship Of the Urich
schools in Henry county. He has
not decided to accept vel. but is hold
ing the matter under advisement, but
he has fully determined to attend

Yet so numerous are the little pests
