We cannot Go much TO change
housekeeping methods of years. but
the young may be trained no easily In
youth. before habits are formed
r. many OF the small towns and
rusn schools there are those who
would be glad TO have the training
for their children IN domestic economy
and manual training but they have
the idea that q cannot be taught
without an expensive equipment and
a trained teacher. This is all wrong.
for there is splendid work going on
all over the country In schools taught
By men and women Who are doing
wonderful work with no equipment
except the important one Of enthusi-
asm and an idea of the value Of the
work.
IL Il not possible even IN q little
country school to teach the boys and
girls something about ventilation and
the need Of pure air at night in the
sleeping room7
Would u not be possible 60 talk TO
them on the danger In dust. and the
value OF perfect cleanliness Of the
home and surroundings as well a. the
bodyG
Could not the subject Of food be dis
cussed and the proper foods for dif-
ferent ages. climate and occupations
be made plain?
There IN much that might be
brought out In this work that would
be especially adaptable TO certain
communities. such ~ In corn raising
districts. the boys could be taught 10
grow and test and judge corn. the
girls could be given recipes for ma
king different dishes from corn In
one contest recently a young girl lad
on exhibition i'rty or more dinermi
foods and dishes from corn.
The great drawback TO any further
crowding Of the school curriculum
can be overcome somewhat by sup
plImeniine this work In place Of open
Ing exercises, language and nature
work. When q teacher having &c pu'
pills has 20 classes In q day Il needs
hard planning to do all in~the limited
time.
