other kindred subjects. Ninety PEE
cent of the American women do theil
own housework. 1t is with them a bus

MODEL REPORT
The following Is an excerpt from the
report of Mrs. r. S. Lanterman, secre-
tary of the Hoover street school at the
last meeting of the year.
Hoover street school, the home of
our organization and the daily home of
our children, has not been forgotten in
our year of fruitful endeavor Sunny
Fairgrounds have been provided, with
rest rooms covered with flowers, out
door games to interest and strengthen,
beautiful pictures and ferns, every
thing to guide the childish mind into
love for the beautiful. Sanitary drink
ing fountains to lessen the spread of
disease, and next year we hope and
pray that our influence, with perhaps
the knowledge of some lawyer father,
may lessen the sickening dread each
mother feels when she sends her chill
dren to school on bitter winters day,
knowing the furnace will be required
and a defective f1ue may mean repe-
tition of the Ohio school disaster
Fathers and mothers, do you realize
that our own Hoover is not supplied
with fire escapes? And a great central
hall, forming a draft and trap through
which a fire could suck and rage, is the
only exit for our babies? An over
sight! One that must be remedied!

our pet theories almost realized In the
