Domestic Arts Round Table
Has Question Before It.

Dark ages and. dead languages vs..
modern household knowledge.
That is the basis of a heated discus
sion in progress at the Unitarian
church this afternoon. The arguments
are being presented by two forces. COM
posing the membership of Household
Arts formidable of the State Teachers
association.
formity of courses in domestic
science and domestic art for high
schools in Kansas has suggested that
only one-half credit be given for the
practical lines of work taught In the
schools of the state. On the other hand
this committee Is perfectly willing that
the high school students who wear
away their eyesight by boring into the
dead languages, Greek and Latin, re-
ceive a full credit for their troubles.
In other words-are the high schools
OF Kansas going to hold out to their
students the attractions OF studies that
are rapidly being abandoned in all the
larger colleges of the county? In the
same breath Kansas scholars are in
danger Of being handicapped for the
practical duties of life by having only
a half unit for their efforts in equip
ping themselves for duties OF the
household.
Use Illinois System.
The committees report is based on
the domestic art and science syllabus
Of the state of Illinois. The minority
members of the committe are not
especially worried over the fact that
the committee believes in copying the
methods used in Illinois but the man
ner in which the work is distributed
over the four years OF high school
work.
According to the outline. the fresh
man year includes n unit In clothing,
II unit in art and 1 unit in general
science. The sophomore year takes
in " unit in preparation of foods. and
Il unit in art. The junior classes take
up clothing and the selection and
economic uses of food with only u
unit for each In the senior year there
is a grand finale of / unit in home and
household management, accompanied
or preceded by " unit in economics or
general social science.
The manner in which these courses
are sprawled over the four-year sche-
dule is thorn in the flesh Of the
minority members of the committee
who prefer the real valuable instruc-
ton Of boys and girls to the impracti-
cal value of Greek and Latin.
There is a movement on to allow
these courses in separate one-unit sche-
dulles and not divide them into half
unit courses scattered through the four
years.
When the adolescent girls of Kansas.
craving beauty in dress and art, find
that they must wrinkle their rosy COM
plexions through long midnight-oi ses-
sions with Latin and Greek. there will
be an uprising among the fair students
of the high schools.
The committees report will be of in
terest to every Kansas household,
blessed with children.

TOTALITY has occurred. The
first of the word totality
was written at the instant
of the beginning of the total
phase OF the eclipse OF the moon
as observed from the observatory
the morning of the suspicious
day, September Is, 1918. The
apparent humiliation, the cutting
out of space of the resplendent
moon standing over the distant
Pacific Sea, was a most impress
sive scene, from up here amid a
hundred silent sentinel peaks,
early in the morning.
The time shown by the mean
solar clock, regulated to standard
international time of the 10th
meridian west of Greenwich, was
four hours one minute a. m. At
the same absolute instant of mean
solar time the master solar clock
in Greenwich was reading 90
hours l minute or one minute
past noon, as shown by the minute
hand of the great clock really
belonging to the entire world.
And one minute past noon there
is the same as four hours one
minute a. m. just along our good
12Oth meridian in California, the
beautiful; or the eighth great
hour circle, at one-third of the
distance around the earth and
likewise around the celestial
sphere, starting from the worlds
first meridian as revealed by the
one-inch piece of spiders thread
in the focus of the worlds adored
transit telescope over in British
land.
For the eyes of man are To-
cused, as ii were, on this tiny
fiber in high power lenses.
The magnitude of the eclipse
was 1.435-that is, the diameter
of the earth's shadow where the
moon passed through it was 435
thousandths greater than the di-
ameter of the moon. Then we
had an eclipse of long duration.
And it was, indeed, impressive to
see how much larger the earth is
than the moon; for even without
the telescope the curvature of the
shadow across the moon was
much greater than the curvature
of the moons circumference. And
with high power on the great
telescope and the stars, obscuring
sight to see the edge of the ad-
vancing shadow cross immense

plicitly."
The lad was scarcely to be
blamed when he answered, some
what gruffly, IF 1 hadn't be-
lieved that already I would not
have asked you to go with or
without a chaperon."
But reluctant and hesitating
speech on certain subjects is only
one phase of the exaggerated
modesty that borders on indie
cency.
Some persons see insinuations
in plays-and these not plays
that are among the many to
which one might justly take ex-
ception-where less suspicious
people discern only innocent fun.
Such persons watch for the
double entendre in the speech of
others and find improperly
where another would not.
This is not an argument in ia
vor of coarse speech, nor would |
advocate conversation upon top
les which are unpleasant and to
say the least, distasteful, if net
evil. But l do claim that if cir
cumstances make it necessary for
one to speak of such matters;
If for the good of mankind or for
the suppression of some wrong,
man or woman must deal with
any disagreeable problem, there
is a consciousness of the pure
ness of ones motive, of the dig
nifty of the end toward which one
strives, that makes one FORGET
questions of modesty and inn
modesty, propriety and impro-
priety in the one overwhelming
desire to do that which is right?

In the civilized world-except in
our glorious country Here we
must either go to some crowded
hotel, where we have TO undress
for dinner and sit. and order
French things that we don't want
or go to a frowsy family hotel and
starve.
| knew n woman who had a lit
tie mountain place. She served
good meals, well cooked-old-
fashioned things, fried chicken,
hot biscuit. melon, preserves,
piccalilly and hot coffee. You
couldn't keep the automobiles
away from her door, though it
was miles and miles from every
thing.
Last summer we went there to
eat, and remained to-weep. The
porch was there, still shady; the
vines were there, still afoam with
delicate white flowers; the we'll
dubbed sweet and cool and fresh,
but the woman was sitting on the
porch in a swinging chair with
her hair marcelled in the fashion
of the year before last. and in the
kitchen was a Chinaman, and in
the office was a demon boy, who
70 !, I,nr
read in a book. The Chinaman
served things all looking just
alike and tasting just alike, as
IL some frowsy hen had laid eggs
in the range and somebody had
poured tomato catsup in to sweet
en- the air-ugh. and the woman
will wonder why the place is no
longer popular when she went
and paid a Chinaman and a boy
to run it so swell" too.
One good steak, one baked po-
tato. one slice of sweet. home
made bread, one pat of fragrant
butter. glass of milk, an old
fashioned chocolate layer cake
and some sliced peaches with real
cream. Why, we'd have mo-
tored so miles to get them.
Where have they all gone, the
good old American dishes we all
like apple pie with cheese,
crumbly crust, soft cheese, ginger
bread warm from the oven, soft
ginger cookies-out of the blue
jar-graham bread with a deep
crust. raisin bread, made with
plenty of shortening, peach cob
bier, chicken pie, cornbread-why
can't we ever get any of these
things any more, why must we
always have menu" and a lot
of imitation things that nobody

Quilted number of small stars
that is, it passed between the
telescope and the stars, opscuring
them, one by one. They, at in
slant of disappearance, vanished
instantly, as If cut out by the
edge of a rapid knife. This is
proof that the moon has no at
mosphere for air refracts, and no
refraction of light has ever been
seen at times of occultation of
many thousands of stars.

light upon viewing distant peaks
with the unaided eye until the
shadow had cut off one-half Of
the lunar disk. Then the black
ness of night drew on apace and
became intense at totallty. Sat-
urn, Mars, Venus, the Pleiades,
the Galaxy and Orion blazed and
burned and glowed with super
nal splendor when the light from
the moon was cut off.
Then | had trouble. Pasadena
turned on about a million cleo
trio lights, and this prevented
the entire scenic splendor of the
eclipse. For Los Angeles keeps
the electric lights going at times
of full moon, while Pasadena
shuts them off But the folk in
Pasadena turned on the glow
when they missed the moon.
At full total eclipse all of the
light of the moon is not extin-
guished Light is refracted around
the earth by its atmosphere and
drawn to a rude focus on the
moon. And the great object
glasses are so powerful that this
faint light could be utilized in
dimly exploring the interiors Of
the lunar craters. They present
ed a peculiar aspect of light and
shade under this strange illumi-
nation.
The people in Washington, D.
c., and in Baltimore and Phila-
delphia, could not see the eclipse,
as at time of beginning the moon
was setting below their distant
Western horizons. When the OBJ
jeet-glasses were turned toward
the moon, of course, the opposite
or eye-end was pointing through
the globe of the earth toward the
sun. A straight line drawn
through the center of the earth
from the center of the sun to the
center of the moon. is the line of
eclipse data. But the surface of
the earth is. on an average, 3,95S
miles from the center; the diam
eter of the moon, as seen from
the earth, is 50 minutes of arc;
and of the earth, as seen from
the moon, 1913 minutes of arc; a
number that must be allowed for
in computing the time and points
of view, as seen from many
places on earth. The sphemeris
giving all computations was pub
lished in Washington four years
ago, and every one was fulfilled
to the letter. For great is the
power of mathematical minds.

A man who has been obliged to
follow mercantile business or a
trade, yet who has longed to be a
scholar, and who has spent all his
spare moments in the study of
law, or literature, will come back
to earth in his next life with q
precocious mind, ready to attain
the heights of learning with small
effort. A woman who has all her
life longed to be a musician began
after she passed the meridian to
study the rudiments of music. She
will not live to achieve more
than a beginning in this life; and
the uninstructed mind might
think she was wasting time. The
Knower realizes that she is pre-
pairing herself to come back to
earth a great musician.

SsTNO the ultra pure all things
are impure" Such is the
corruption of an ancient
proverb, a corruption which, we
are sometimes forced to admit,
bears a firmer stamp of truth
than does the original maxim.
1t is a sad commentary upon
human nature that the person
possessing a consciousness of
self -righteousness is pretty sure
to be conscious also of the other
fellows faults.
If he didn't appreciate them he
would lose half the pleasure of
his own virtues!
Some people, compelled by
what they consider a sense of
propriety, are particular to the
point of prurience in speaking of
doubtful subjects. Their hyper
trophied modesty makes them
ridiculous, and the subject of
which they are forced to speak
assumes an indecency that would
not belong to it if it were treated
honestly.
