A Course in Chores

From the St Louis Pioneer Press.
 A committee from the Bethel Women club will appear before the school board at it's next meeting and present pei tition asking that boys be taught how td make useful articles for the home in theil manual training courses.

 This movement is the outcome of 1 meeting yesterday afternoon at the Bethei at which Mrs. Hannah MoGhee principal of the J. J. Hill school, talked on tThd Proper Amusements for School Children and included in her address a suggestion that the club put forth It's indeavers td have the manual training eoursea changed.
 ''The boys may as well be acquiring knowledge which they can put to practil cal use in their own homes said Mrs McGhee. There are dozens of ways ir which boys can help their mothers ir doing small }epairing around the house such as fixing screens and putting or storm windows. This would save count less small bills for professional carpenter work

 The daughters do not seem to have been consulted with regard to this change of plans Miss Constance Hill, in her book, Jane Austen, Her Homes and Her Friends" says that, scoming in one day from walk, as they entered the room their mother greeted them with the intel ligenee: Well, girls, it is all settled. We have decided to leave Steventon and go to Bath" To Jane, who had been from home and who had not heard much about the matter, it was such shock that she fainted away" Although both North anger Abbey" and Persuasion" deal very largely with Bath. neither of them were written in that city.

Who would be deprived of our periods of depression and gloom?
 It is reviewing these black splashes in our lives that make us value the rose col ored moments of happiness when they do come.
 Pretty Kitty Gordon's song is full of excellent philosophy.
 Wouldn't most of us be terribly tire some if we walked through the world with our hearts singing at the top of their voices?
 Nay, rather, much better is 1t, when like one of Ellen Glasgow's heroines, We are addicted to Spells of .joy?'
 Happiness is a subject that Is as thread bare as the weather.
