of the mother be supplemented by ad-
ditional training? Let the mother be
as thorough in her training as she
possibly can, the girl will need some
thing more, because the future home
of the girl will not be the present
home of the mother. All institutions
advance or recede. They cannot stand
still, and If the homes are to develop
and grow as they ought, then our kitch-
ems will change with the needs of the
times The equipment and furnish
ings of the home will vary. The girl
that is taught to perform certain pro-
cesses in the kitchen in a certain way
because her mother and grandmother
did it that way without being told
why, will not be a practical and up
to date home maker The process may
be good in itself, but in this advanced
age, the progressive woman is de-
manding the reason why, and the girl
in order TO be a true home maker, a
broad and developed woman, must
know the underlying principles of
homemaking from the scientific, eco
nomic, sociological and aesthetic
points of view.
Is it possible for the mother of to-
day to give this knowledge to the
child? We can readily see that this
question must be answered in the neg
alive When the mother was receiv-
ing her training in her mothers home,
the knowledge of the reason why was
not available. 1t has only been with
in the past 20 years that a science of
homemaking has been formulated. 1t
did not make any difference how Gag
erly she wanted to know why, thei
was no one who could tell her why.
But in this age we have schools, col
leges, universities, books and maya
zines. all treating of this subject of
homemaking, the science of right liv-
ing.
| would not detract from the work
of the mother in the home, in training
her daughters for this profession.
Handicapped as the women have been
| by this lack of knowledge, they have
been wonderfully successful nome
makers However. now, that this
knowledge is available the homes are
going to advance rapidly, and it is
the right of every girl to be justly
prepared for the profession in which
the majority of women will always
be engaged.
True Worth of Home Making.
Then let us supplement the training
of the mother by the training of the
school and see that a study of the
household arts is introduced into the
curriculum of all schools where girls
are educated. In addition to the
knowledge the girl will receive in
school by such training, there is one
more important thing she will gain,
and that is an appreciation Of the
dignity and true worth of home MAX
ing. BY our very recognition that it is
a subject worthy OF study, will we
place homemaking where it belongs!
Also by the introduction of any kind
of manual work in the. school. the
girl will gain a better control of mus
cles and an opportunity to apply her
knowledge of mathematics. English,
economics, science, art and sociology
10 the problems of practical life.
Once more the question will he
asked. Does the girl need TO be
trained for the profession of home
making?" And secondly, Can she
get this training entirely in the home?"

ment Inaugurated Years Ago.

Keep your trash under cover untn the
wagon Of the collector calls to remove 1t,
was the message delivered to every
housewife in the District yesterday by
little coterie Of women working for a
cleaner and healthier city. Rubbish of all
kinds afford attractive hiding places for
! filth and germs, and rational sanitation
is an even more practical incentive for
! compliance with the request than is the
aesthetic desire 10 see the streets free
from rubbish.
The request was In the form OF a little
card prepared by the joint committee OF
womens clubs. or which Mrs. Frederick
Y. ColviIle Is chairman. The committee
was the oUtgrowth of the mass meeting
in the interest of spring street cleaning
held last April The city was divided into
districts. embracing fifty houses each. and
despite the rain the workers rallied 20 the
cause and delivered the cards throughout
the city. each member taking a bunch OF
fifty. More than 1900 cards were dis
tributed.
CO-Operates with Clubs.
Mrs, Colvllle has been specially elated
at the active support she has obtained
from Commissioner Johnston, who IS CO.
operating with the club When Mrs Col
Vile called on him to present the matter.
the Commissioner consulted Maj. Sylves-
ter and the superintendent of street
cleaning. The question Of the support OF
those branches OF the government was
thoroughly canvassed.
The movement was inaugUrated a little
less than a year ago, Mrs. Colville be-
lieving the assistance OF housekeepers
was essential to a proper control of the
subject. The idea has spread throughout
the country. and In Kalamazoo. Mich.
the board of aldermen even turned over
to women the entire appropriation for
street cleaning and abolishing machine
sweeping. as the streets were kept In per-
feet condition BY hand sweeping for less
money.
Associated with Mrs. Colville on the
joint committee are Mrs. La Fol
lette, wife OF Senator La Toilette: Mrs.
Theodore L Cole, Miss Grace NJ. Thomas,
and Mrs. Whitman Cross. The clubs that

telegraph line, built for commercial
purposes, between Washington and
Baltimore was opened. After the
formal opening Professor Morse and
his associates offered to sell the in
yention to the United States Govern
ment for 100000, but the price was
considered too high. The Govern
ment had appropriated 100000.

Polk had referred the matter, wrote
Although the Invention is an agent

Boys And The Farm.

An old farmers two sons were
anxious to leave the farm and work
out their destiny in the city. The
farmer wanted to keep the boys on
the farm. So he sent them to an
agricultural college, one to learn
plant breeding and general agricul-
ture, and the other to take a course
In animal husbandry.
The result of this experiment was
that each boy took great fancy to
his speciality and a great interest in
the knowledge of 1t. The science
OF farming is very attractive. 1t
let's one into a knowledge of the
beautiful laws of nature, and gives
charm to all his work. This is
the way to knock out the drudgery
OF farm life and give one broad
yiewe.
The agricultural college is today
our greatest public institution. 1t
takes much of the drudgery out of
farm work by putting intelligence
IN It. The farmer is the real pro-
Queer, the real benefactor in trade
and commerce, and 1t is more sensi-
ole to encourage his development
than that of any other class. There
Is no kindlier fortune for a boy
than to get him interested in farm
experience. He is pretty certain to
attain to great worth.-Ohio State

WOman's Wrongs.

The frequency and the atrocity of
crimes against young women and
girls in New York cannot escape at
tention. Conditions revealed al
most daily are shocking from every
point of view. They can be cor
rected only by sterner admins
tration of justice and by a greater
care on the part of parents and So
ciety in general.
1t is plain enough that people pre-
sumo too much upon the respect for
womanhood which was once a ma
tional trait. Under cover of that
assumption some of those having
children in their care have become
reckless, many of the young have
grown bold, even daring, and vic
ious scoundrels who must be on the
increase have not failed to take ad-
vantage of ignorance, folly and help
lessness.
In fifty years our Industrial, COM
mercial and social life has been al
most revolutionized. Hundreds of
thousands of young girls are daily
exposed to perils which rarely be-
set the home. A vast growth in pop
ulation has been accompanied by a
more than proportionate increase of
men and youths who are criminally
inclined. There must be greater
protection OF womanhood and there
must be severer punishment for all
those who craftily or savagely make
war upon tn. Y. World.
