Water Supply and Education.

President Joe Cook, of the Missis-
sippi Normal College. believes that
the first step in the education of wom-
en- in the country should be the elm
nation of needless farm drudgery.
No matter how good the rural school
may be, he declares it cannot help
permanently in making life in the
with it the movement to tighten the
labor of women on the farm.
The water supply in particular
rouses President Cooks indignation,
He is convinced that as much as nine
tenths of the drudgery of women on
the farm is due to antiquated methods
of handling the water supply. Here
is the way he states the case in a
bulletin of the United States Bureau
of Education:
The getting of water from the
source of supply to the point of aD-
plication requires more manual labor
than any other item of housekeeping.
The water for the kitchen has to be
llIleu tuc Wcii, " bhC
kitchen, poured out of the kettle into
the dishpan, and from the dishpan out
of doors. This makes six times the
water is handled, and bucket of wa
ter containing two gallons, with the
containing vessel, will weigh 20
pounds. When this is handled six
times. the total lifting is 120 pounds.
The cooking of three meals day on
a meager allowance of water will
necessitate ten buckets. which will
make for cooking alone 1,2OO pounds
of lifting per day. When to this is
added to the water necessary for bath
ing, scrubbing and the weekly wash.
1t will easily bring the lift per day to
ton; and the lifting of ton day
will take the elasticity out a woman's s
step, the bloom out of her cheek. and
the enjoyment from her soul"
To eliminate this item of drudgery
is easy, according to President Cook.
All that is necessary is for the farmer
to realize that the farm is also the
heir to modern invention: "An isolat-
ed farm can be supplied with system
of waterworks for an outlay OF about
$3.50. Pump. $25; gasoline engine,
$40; tank. $50; bathtub. 500; com.
mode, $50; kitchen sink 81; basin.
81; 500 feet OF pipe, $40; valves and
installation. $75. These figures are
for firstclass porcelain-lined fixtures
cheaper fixtures can be had. Such a
system, if intelligently and compactly
planned, will not only supply all OF
the household needs. but will supply
practically all the farm needs be-
