of West Virginia. chairman Of the
conference, is making I'm effort to have
all the land grant schools represent
ed. The subject of special interest be-
fore this conference will be the Smith
Lever bill, which was passed by con
gress last winter
This bill makes ample provision for
extension work among the farmers OF
the country, but. unlike the Morrill,
and the Nelson bills. it makes no spe
cial provision for the Negro. The dis
tributiOn of this fund is left entirely
to the states. Just what attitude the
southern states will assume toward
the Negro in the distribution Of this
fund Is being watched with a great
deal OF interest, since 1t affects the In

There is the disOrderly mother, who

Confusion and Disorder In the Home.
Confusion and disorder reign in the
home of such mother and in the
minds of those she brings up. The
time spent in hunting for lost objects
in such a home would make one con-
versant with all languages, if spent
in study.
There is the other type of mother,
so orderly that no comfort is found
in her presence.
When she is not picking up after
her family or correcting the members
of her household for their disorder,
she is lying in a darkened room with
a nervous headache, which she says
is caused by her inconsiderate fam
lily.
Then there is the nagging mother,

Mothers Surprised.
The mother who sees her own fea-
lures reflected in small daughter
is oftimes amazed when she sees that
daughter growing into a type of
woman wholly unlike herself; q woman
with different tastes, ideas and tenn
permanent
She does not know what to do with
her; how to adapt herself to the sit

It is seldom she is broad enough to
realize that her child must be dealt
with according to her own nature and
tendencies and not according to the
mothers.
Just as a fern in a garden requires
different treatment and a different To-
cation from a carnation or rose.
Mothers should study their children
as the hOrticulturist studies plants,
and help each child to grow accord
ing to its own tendencies.

clause what has been said many,
many times before in this column:
