| The devoteeS Of the old fashioned
idea of education for scholarship. Of
/ the value of scholastic attainment for
its own sake. of the worth Of culture
as apart FROM its possible aspect Of
utility. might just as well folio up their
/ tents and. like the Arab, quietly steal
away.
They are done for 1t is high time to
be admitting it.
One by one the Institutions of higher
education have been knuckling down
TO the popular demand for dishwaSh-
ers and home cooks.
And now Miss Caroline Hazard,
president of Wellesley college, has
Joined the housekeeping brigade. The
day of the scheduled scholastic life is
past" said President Hazard in her
annual report. In common with all
so called higher institutions Of learn
ing. Wellesley must be ready TO pre-
pare its graduates for useful and ac-
tive life in the world
In this connection President Hazard
recommended the establishment of
new course in economics TO have spe-
ciaI reference to household manage
ment.
Now. it were great pity to cast
word of reprOach at the movement to-
ward the proper understanding of
household science which has swept
over the country recently. 1t must
without doubt be set down as one of
the sanest aud most helpful educa-
tional efforts that the last decade has
seen.
With the ever increasing number of
institutions who need women at their
heads who are skilled in the science of
housekeeping. il Is essential that more
and more women should qualify them
selves for expert service of this sort
And. TOO, with the changed conditions
in the home, where the tendency is no
longer for girls 10 learn the homely
arts of cooking and sewing from their
mothers, there Is a definite need for
class room instruction in these branch
eS.
But why must every cultured college
in the country open its doors TO the sci
ence of pie baking: A gentle and no.
BILE art In very truth il is. But must Ii
rub elbows with the study Of the poets
and the thinkers OF the world: Must Ii
lock step with the pursuit of the sig
nificant facts in the worlds history?
Is what is left of four years. after
time for basketball. fraternity dances.
college plays and committee meetings
is taken out. too much TO spend In the
atmosphere OF mere books:
Doubtless IL is. One forgets that
only old fogies would refuse to class
pie with Plato.

Noisy Nuisances.

III fitting doors and windows repre-
sent happy hunting ground for the
disturbing winds. In fact. so annoying
does the constant rattling of these
openings become that many determln-
ed individuals who resolve TO admit
the fresh air choose the lesser Of two
evils and close the openings in prefer

remedied If small wedge of wood be
driven in at the side of an open win

rafting If a pad or strip Of thick felt
be nailed on the edge OF the door.
The annoyance of creaking dra wers
can he eliminated by rubbing common
soap upon the top. sides and bottom of

Cracking hinges on anything should
be well oiled. while the grating. irri-
tating noise OF sewing machine can
be overcome in n similar manner.
The little noises wear away the pa

II is foolish TO dissipate energy through
the channels Of irritated nerves when
little time will obviate the nuisances.
