The study of art enables the house
keeper to build and furnish her home,
and clothe her family, with taste;
of chemistry to provide for the sani-
tary construction of the house. and
for the proper preparation of all food
materials; of physics, to gain the
knowledge of heat, light, power and

her home; of economics, to manage
her household on business principles;
Of physiology, to study the physical
development of her children; and Of
psychology, TO observe their mental

With all this. the girl learns to

can accomplish great and good things

To enable the teachers of the Sec
ondary and rural schools of Kansas
to take a course in home economics,
the Kansas State Agricultural Col
Iege will offer a six weeks summer
term in home economics, beginning
June 10. The teaching will be done
by the regular teachers of the depart
ment and will follow the same gen.
eral lines of instruction.
The purpose of the Department Of
Home Economics is to afford training
in all subjects that pertain to life in
the home. Housekeeping in the
widest sense. the provision of domes-
tic comfort within the home, is the
largest single industry known. If
progress is to be made in the house
hold, it must be no longer assumed
that a home can be well managed
by woman whose reasoning powers
have never been cultivated, who has
never been taught self reliance and
self control, who has no conception of
accuracy, and who has never acquired
the habit of observation.
1t should, however, be an accepted
fact that being born a woman is not
being born a housekeeper, and that
she needs the wisest training that can
be given her to fit her for the most
responsible position she can ever
hold: that of wife and mother

this reason commands a lower price
on the market. The people who
make butter on the farm should pro-
duce butter of the finest quality, be-
cause all the conditions influencing
the quality of butter are under con-
troll while with the creamery man he
can only regulate the conditions of
the milk and cream after it comes to
his factory. Creamery butter is quite
uniform throughout the year while
dairy butter varies quite widely with
the seasons. Many people on the farm
who take great pains with their butter
and have a uniform supply through
out the year can supply a special
trade in towns and cities and receive
a higher price for their butter than
is paid for the creamery butter. Since
the price received for dairy butter
depends greatly upon the quality OF
the product, it is up to the farmers
who make butter to raise the stan
dard of dairy butter. This must be-
gin with the maker, No COW can pro-
duce clean milk If the surroundings
and the habits of the keeper are not
clean.

When cream is sold it is generally
bought on the butterfat basis. In 9th
er words, the cream is tested by the
Babcock test, a short chemical meth
cd of determining the per cent of but
terfat it contains and the resulting
per cent times the pounds of cream
will give the pounds of butter fat.
Butter and butterfat are not the same
and it is important that they should
not be spoken of as the same thing.
Butterfat is the pure fat of milk and
commercial butter contains only about
So per cent of this butterfat, the re
naming II per cent being made up
OF water, curd and ash. When we sell
butter fat we cannot expect more
money than if we sold butter even il
the finished product does not contain
SO much Of the pure butterfat. The
time and labor required in making
the butter must be taken into consid-
Grafton. One hundred pounds of pure
butterfat will usually make 30 pounds

graceful forms seem to lie asleep il
the brain of this ingenious man. Let
a whisper reach them that they are
needed and they rush to his finger
tips. Many professional women, mil
liners and others, are taking up this
work of ribbon for decoration and
it may prove a new profitable accom-
plishment for them. Ribbons will not
supplant natural flowers entirely. but
they will bring about a new order OF

and greater effectiveness given to
those that so appear.

ENCOURAGING BRIGHT PUPILS.

Parents and educators everywhere
will be interested in the experiment
now being tried in the Cincinnati
public schools of establishing a class
room for especially bright pupils.
which would appear to be the logical
accompaniment of the classroom for
backward pupils. The proposition
that it is as unfair to hold back the
apt or clever child in the ranks OF
the mediocre as it is to speed the dull
pupil to a pace he cannot maintain
appeals as reasonable and common
sense. 1t will be argued with much
force that the system which makes
provision for caring for the backward
pupil cannot be justified without pro-
vision is made for accompanying the
rapidly than the average, says the St
Paul Pioneer Press. The proposition
simply provides for the application
to schooling of the plan, that is gen.
orally adopted and followed in the
business world, where wage scales,
chances of promotion and all the adj
vantages are based on the ability of
those employed to advance rapidly in
one line or another. This has not
been the rule in the school where the
system has been adjusted to meet the
requirements Of the average pupil,
with special provision made for those
below the average. The net result OF
this system has been retardation, for
which the pupils are not to blame.
The Cincinnati educators have decid-
ed that the old system of trying to
make all children fit the same edu-
lcational pattern is unsatisfactory in
general and particularly unfair to the
bright pupils, who are to be given spe-
cial attention under a more sensible
and equitable method.
