ularly at a high school or gramma
school building or at the home of tn,
leader or one of the students. In 9th
er clubs it has been found more con
venient for members to take turns en-
tertaining the organization. When tn,
meeting place is in a school room, mem
bers contribute the necessary articles
of equipment and material for thu
evenings work if demonstrations sup

when the school room is the meeting

The colleges receive no pay for this

Cookery Courses Revised.
The second years work was met with
such great approval and was so success
full that we wanted to establish the
work upon a better basis. Therefore
the course in cookery were revised and
instead of being scattered lessons upon
the various phases of the subject they
are now arranged in a logical order
based upon the outlines used in the reg.
ular college courses. We have Mt pres.
ent three courses in cookery and a
fourth ready for the printer. The first
two courses cover the elementary field
of cookery in general, dealing with five
food principles, The third course is
given to the more difficult problems of
cookery including some few lessons up,
on the balancing Of rations and some
special diets, while the fourth couse is
devoted entirely to diets for special
diseases.
In sewing, the first course is made up
of elementary steps often termed model
work or hand sewing and is supple
mented by finished articles that will il.
lustrate the work. The second course
is tape and rule system of drafting
and making of under garments. A third
course is under preparation now and
will deal with the subject of alterations
Of patterns, care and cleaning of cloth,
ing and kindred subjects. Another
good feature about our Girls club work
is through its adoption many schools

Manhattan, Kansas, Dec. 22.-Five
thousands of Kansas girls who cannot af
ford to attend school have been given
elementary instruction in course of
domestic science and arts during the past
three years through "Boys and Girls
Clubs" Not satisfied with leading all
other states in the percentage of her
young people attending college, the
State of Kansas planned, out and put
through system of education for those
young people attending college, the

Kansas Agricultural college, who has
been in charge Of the Girls Home Ec-
onomics club since its Inauguration has
received hundreds of letters from state
institutions and private schools and
colleges asking for explanation of her
system. She has prepared the follow
ing article explaining the work, for the
United Press:
-Four years ago when woman's time
was given wholly to the extension of
such lines of college work as the wo-
mankind Of the state should desire, one
of the first demands was for such train

came in existence. The first years
work was failure, not because the
girls were not eager to organize clubs
but because the material to be used
by these clubs was not prepared. Con
sequently my first summer was spent
in preparing a course in simple lessons
in sewing and another in cookery. With
this material to distribute, the work
was arranged under a systematic plan
and from the beginning of the second
year has prospered.
Organize Club.
The plan by which these clubs are
conducted is as follows: Wherever there
is a group Of girls who wish to take
a series Of lessons regularly, club
is organized. Wherever possible, these
clubs are affiliated with high schools
and we find that as a rule, teachers
make the best teachers for the clubs,
though occasionally, we have a woman
who is superintendent's wife or a
minister's wife or Sunday school teach
er or house wife who has a real inter
est in girls
The clubs meet usually once a week.
Reports Of what the students have ac-
complished at their homes during the
preceding week, are read and discuss
ed, the students giving their own ex-
periences. Work is then planned for
the ensuing week. These future lessons
may be explained by the leader, or by
the pupils, and then demonstrations are
either given by the teacher alone or by
several of the students. In many clubs
the students take regular turns in CIV
ing demonstrations

COMMUNICATED.

An Appeal to the People of
Delaware City.
On Wednesday the 22d ano-
ther election will be held at the
city hall, for the purpose of de-
Gliding the question of an adj
ditional bond issue, the money
to be applied to the improve
ment of Clinton St. With the
history of the last election, held
for this purpose, before us, and
the wide discussion prior there
to, and resulting therefrom, any
further enlightenment upon the
subject of its ACCESSIBILITY or in
ACCESSIBILITY is a matter of i'm
possibility on my part, but a
statement to cover some points
still at issue and that may be
misunderstood is my purpose in
this appeal.
Those who opposed an adj
ditional bond issue at the last
election and who successfully
attacked the legality of its re-
suit now have the chancellor's
decision, and will decide the
title of property votes in all
cases at the coming election,
and at least one election officer
will be elected from the side, of
the opposition.
1t is known of course by all that
this additional bond issue, if
carried, will mean additional
taxation, or at least the main
tenance of the present rate Of
taxation indefinitely, for the
sole purpose Of improving one
street in Della. City. Accord
ing to the latest method of mod
ern Improvement, the work Of
this character, already begun,
can be carried but part way on
Clinton st. without the addition
al money asked for, but with
