TIE HoMEcRAFT COURSE.

In the homecraft course just insti-
tuted in the Wadleigh high school,
New York City, the attempt to meet
practical demands in girls education
is seen at It's best, according to Of
ficials of the United States bureau or
education. The homecraft course is
for girls whose interest is in up-to-
date home-making rather than in ad-
vanced literary or scientific study.
The work is taken chiefly by students
who do not intend to go to college,
but who wish TO make the best use Of
their time while in high school; and
it is particularly recommended for
those who expect to stay in school
only two years or less.
The course is both practical and
cultural" 1t answers the everyday
needs Of girls who mean to be real
home-keepers and it affords abundan.
/ opportunity for studies that are for
| enjoyment as well as for work. Do
nestle science and domestic art, with
/ household arithmetic, study Of voca-
tons, "clothing-its care and remod-
cling are prominent subjects the first
year. Drawing, music, biology, Eng
fish, and physical training are requir-
ed subjects, with current history,
English history and modern languages
among the electives. Latin and ad.
vanced mathematics are conspicuous
by their absence.
In the second year hygiene and
sanitation are added 10 the require
ments, and other studies may be
chosen from list which includes mil
linery, household chemistry. European
and American history, history oil
women's work, arts and crafts, and
modern languages.
Household management, a required
study, is a feature of the third veal
of the course. Applied design and an
piled physics are among the subject!
that may be selected by the students
, In the fourth year the girls delve Z
little deeper into the philosophy o
homecraft by means of a required
course on social efficiency. They ma,
also regale themselves with a numbe
OF more advanced studies, such as
, Fundamentals of legal procedure
physiology, bscteriology, and santa
, ton; household design and decor
, alton.
. Throughout the course the emphasi
is on applied. rather than Theoretical
, knowledge; and the work is so al
! ranged that regardless Of whether
girl completes the four-year course O
leaves before she finishes she has az
quired a fund of workable ideas O
direct value to her in the immediat
S problems Of her life. At the sam

NOT WILSON'S STYLE.

President Wilson denies emphatical-
ly that he is even inclined to look on
a democrat who will not support his
currency measure as a rebel. The
presiden, says: "Of course | never
said any such thing. II is contrary
both to my thought and TO my charac
ter"

Whist undoubtedly is derived from
the old game OF tr1mps. which has a
purely English lineage. There is no
record OF the origin OF this game nor
OF its development into run and hon.
