bearing upon their chiidren's educa-
ton Most parents have had about as
much intimacy with and cordially to-
ward the teacher of their children as
with the helper in the home who pre-
pares the food for these children
whose very success depends upon the
preparation of the foods they eat
The closest and most harmonious re-
lationship should exist between par
ents and these two great assistants for
the mental and physical development
OF their children. Not only schools
in the cities, but in small towns and
country districts are rapidly introduc-
ing these two branches. There is only
one danger and that is, in making out
the course of study, in not having the
home life of the masses of children
constantly in mind. This can only be
met where parents and teachers unite
and work as unit for a helpful.
healthy child in the home and in the
community in which he lives.
We learn TO do through doing, and
when our children can express them
selves in these two branches in their
schools. they cannot help but do so in
their homes II the teacher knows, as
she should, the home life of her chill
dren. This is not only a plea for more
domestic science and manual training
IN our schools. but closer intimacy
between parents and teachers.

The following letter was received
recently while lecturing in st. Louis
on domestic science:
Dear Madam-St Louis wishes to
put more domestic science and manuel
training in its public school courses
Committees have been formed to find
what people of experience think of
this course. Will you please answer
the following questions in connection
with this work:
AT what school age do you think
child ought to begin domestic sci
ence and manual training?
Fought a boy to be taught cook
ing and sewing? Why?
"3-How much time ought to be
taken for it?
"4-What studies ought to be
omitted or taken less time for in
order to have time for domestic
science and manual training?
'5-What materials ought to Le
used?
''6-At what school age ought such
instruction to cad?
What ought to be a citys aim
in giving such instruction ?"
1t is a universal subject, but one
which is not thoroughly understood
