VERY HANDSOME
HEADDRESS FOR
EVENING WEAR

one hardly knows whether to call
~ the many elaborate head-dresses
designed for evening wear by the
name of "turban" or not. They are
turbans in reality, but developed IN
new WAYS. Some of them cover the
entire head-most of them do - but
others leave the crown uncovered ana
swath themselves about the forehead
They are extravagantly rich and I'M

We may therefore assume that this is
a butterfly of fashion. Natural or
not, she is very brilliant and beautiful

and curious body of wound braid.
This head-dress, without the butter

for street wear. With the butterfly IL

COURSE IN HOMEcRAFT.

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 its best, according TO OH
Gals of the United States bureau OF
education. The homecraft course IS
for girls whose interest is in up-to-date
home-making. rather than in advanced
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 abundant
opportunity for studies that are for
enjoyment as well as work. Domestic
science and domestic art, with house
hold arithmetic. study of vocauons'
"clOthing-its care and remodeling'
are prominent subjects the first year
Drawing, music, biology, English and
physical training are required sub
jects, with current history, English
history. and modern languages among
the electives. Latin and advanced
mathematics are conspicuous by their
absence.
In the second year hygiene and SAM
tation are added to the requirements,
and other studies may be chosen from
a list which includes millinery, house
hold chemistry, European and Ameri-
man history, history of women's work,
arts and crafts. and modern Ian
/ guages
Household management, a required
| study. is a feature of the third year
/ of the course. Applied design and ap-
/ piled physics are among the subjects
that may be selected by the students.
! In the fourth year the girls delve a
/ little deeper into the philosophy OF
homecraft by means of a required
course on social efficiency. They may
also regale themselves with a mum
Der of more advanced studies. such as
fundamentals of legal procedure, phys
iology. bacteriology and sanitation;
household design and decoration.
Throughout the course the emphasis
is on applied, rather than Theoretical
knowledge; and the work is so ar
ranged that regardless of whether the
girl completes the four-year course OF
leaves before she finishes. she has
acquired fund of workable ideas OF
direct value to her in the immediate
problems OF her life At the some

THE theater or dinner gown which

by women who wish to be well dress

SAVING TIME IN EDUCATION.

There is a waste of at least two
years in the present plan of American
education. This is the conclusion
reached by a committee of prominent
educators in a report on Economy OF
Time in Education" just issued by the
United States bureau of education.
This conclusion follows an investi
CATION lasting nearly ten years by a
committee of the National Education
association, of which President James
II. Baker of the University of Colo
RADIO, is chairman. The committee have
endeavored to form Il plan that would
do away with the two-year loss. They
propose that six years be assigned to
the elementary school instead of eight,
as at present; that the high school pc
riod be from IL to IS, divided into two
parts, OF four and two years each;
that college work extend from IS to
20. or 16 to 20, according to the meth
% of distributing the last two second
airy years; and that graduate or pro-
fessional work at a university cover
the years from 20 to "a. This would
enable boys and girls to get ample
vocational training after the age of
II; it would enable those who wo to
college to get through their college
work at the age of 20; and it would
save the professional man from hav-
ing to wait until q to start his profess
sional career.
The report insists that the present
elementary course is too long; that
the ground now covered in eight years
can be covered just as efficiently in
six, allowing secondary work to begin
at the age Of IL.

Medicine has attracted international
attention. The good results obtain
ed in cleaning up the Panama
Canal Zone by Major Goreas of the
United States Army are demonstra-
tons or examples that will easily

preventive measures. Under his
direction the Panama Canal Zone
has been converted from a pest rid
den tropical country to a country
as healthful as any of the large
cities in the United States a result
hardly conceivable before this
demonstration.
The foremost men of all nations
have been closely watching the prog
ress of Public Health matters in the
Panama Canal Zone. Recently Ecua-
dor requested the United States to
permit Colonel Gorgas to come there
for the purpose of cleaning that
country. Our Government has
sanctioned this request. so that DR..

purpose of demonstrating the value
of Preventive Medicine. The leading

Dictated their salaries should be based
upon an eight-hour day. With this
change these carriers could be used not
only to supplement the general deliv-
cry service as indicated, but in many
instances in the delivery of parcel post
matter as well, thus obviating the ne
cessity for additional horse hire for
the delivery of the larger packages.
The compensation of rural carriers
should therefore be changed from
a mileage to an eight-hour bas-
is, and these carriers should be

attention to the affairs of his Office and
that this requirement will be rigidly
enforced.
For this reason" he says, "the mer-

of it's affairs
