Continuation Schools
Of Home Making

twenty-five since 1900, have legislated
for practical education, eleven includ-
ing home making specifically and ap-
propriating funds for local assistance.
1t is a fair question to ask whether
federal aid cannot be given continual
ton schools Of home making under
state boards of education, since better
homes and lower mortality are of ma
tional concern.
The weak point in such instruction
has nearly always been neglect Of
training in principles and methods Of
caring for children, especially infants.
The petition is accompanied by two
resolutions bearing on this defect. One
is that such schools should be conduct
ed wherever possible in model houses
or flats in addition to classroom work,
and that car of children and babies
be ~practised in connection with homes,
day nurseries, kindergartens, visiting
nurses, hospitals, children's summer
outings, or in other practical ways.
The other resolution is that special eff
fort be made to create day continue
ton schools as we'll as or in prefer
ence to evening schools, and also to
secure cooperation of employers in
arrangements for part-time schools.
These suggestions are based on ex-
periments already under observation in

ERING IN HIS HONOR in LOOK
OUT MOUNTAIN.

Imperial Potentate John Frank
Treat of the Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine Of North America, was the
guest of honor last Tuesday night of
Alhahbra temple at Chattanooga.
Tenn, There was a special ceremonial
session of the shrine which the im-
perial %potentate attended and a ban
quet was rendered him at the Hotel
Patten.
The imperial %potentate vas greeted
at the station by a committee COM
posed of J. B. Nicklin, a. G. Foust.
A.. T. Hooper, r. M. Crabtree and
Capt. T. w, Fritts, all Of Chattanooga.
He was escorted at once to the Patten
where he had breakfast and then be-
gan a day full of automobile trips
around the beautiful city that nestles
at the foot of Lookout mountain.
A dinner was given that evening at
the Patten which was attended by
many guests. In an interview with a
Times representative Mr.. Treat is
quoted as saying that on none of his
numerous trips over the continent has
he seen such beautiful scenery and has
he been more impressed with the hos
pitality of any people as he was with
that of Chattanooga.

The dates of the next reunion OF the
Scottish Rite bodies of this city have
been set for April s, 8, 10 and IL. Free
quently the spring reunion comes the
first week in March, but this year it
has been decided to put it over until
the April dates announced. There is
every indication that there will be
quite a large attendance at the time
mentioned. There is doubt as to any
meeting in June this year, and the
reunion of April will probably be the
last until late in the fall.
The Shrine ceremonial has been
changed to April IL, following the
Scottish Rite, and this will be a very
important event, as it will be in hon

will make his official visit to Ell Zagal
