CARE OF HARDWOOD FLOORS
Need Systematic and Intelligent At
tention or They Soon Lose
Their Beauty.

One housekeeper has declared that
hardwood floors require as much care
as a baby. Although we doubt the
statement, 1t is a well-known fact that
If floors are not properly cared for
they soon lose their beauty.
Attention should be given them sys-
tematically; every day they should be
brushed over with a broom covered
with a flannel cloth made into a bag,
with drawstring in the top.
Once a week at least, twice II you
can, the floors should be oiled. using
linseed oil and applying it with a
cheesecloth rag to prevent lint from
spreading.
Deeply stained or vanished floors
should be wiped lightly and frequently
with a solution of milk and water
Polish with dry cloth.

NEGLECT TRAINING OF GIRLS
Urgent Need Of Industrial Teaching IL
Shown by Action Of Students at
Roswell, New Mex.

Seventy-five Of the high school girls
In the city of Roswell, New Mexico,
petitioned the superintendent OF city
schools asking that they be excused
from taking domestic science. They
stated. In effect, that they believe
dishwashing to be degrading and not
conducive to mentality; that they are
not accustomed to such work at home
and that they do not care TO learn
the art OF cooking.
That these girls do not do such
work at home" Is perhaps unfortunate
and It is all the more important that
they learn how to do the common
everyday work at school. since they
have never been taught at home, says
the Texas Ranch and Farm. That
"dishwashing" or any other work In
maintaining the home and making life
pleasant for their parents should be
regarded as degrading is perhaps not
their fault. since they have never
been taught the dignity OF labor and
the opportunities for happiness in
keeping the home in order II shows
how the training OF our girls is be-
ing neglected in the home and ex-
plains the urgent need OF Industrial
training In our public schools such as
IN given In the Roswell city schools
Whether these girls are fortunate
90 enough to have servants to do
the degrading ~ work that they con-
slider antagonistic to mentality when
they are responsible for a home. or
whether they must do the work them
selves. they are apt to regret their
aversion 70 the course In domestic
science. They do not know the ad-
santages this knowledge gives In
meeting the trials and vicissitudes OF
Life; they do not realize the trials,
cares and responsibilities for those
who must make or wreck a home
To make our schools efficient In
qualifying boys and girls for the re-
