Education for Home Making.


Education for Home Making" was
the subject for an address by Mrs. J.
II. Stannard. who said, in part:
Home making is now recognized as
profession. Men and women must be
taught the art of right living. in order
that they may teach a new generation
how to live.
The work of preventive education
was at first limited to cooking and sew
ing lessons. Even now the wise use of
money is not taught, and the bringing
up of children is left to chance. A
more professional character of home
making is now being taught in public
and private schools. One or two years
following the regular school work are
devoted to scientific study of the
home. This includes house building,
house buying and house furnishing. on
the bases of economy and beauty. The
study of family incomes and their ap-
portionment. problems of food. dress,
sanitation, these are included, always
with the aim of a healthier, happier
and more useful human group. The
home standard is defined; ethics and
psychology of family life are studied:
social responsibility to the school, the
this scientific study leads to gain rath-
er than loss in cultural education.
Home making cannot be taught by the
school alone, however: there must be
cooperation between home and school,
The home is the natural laboratory for
testing all that is taught in the school.
This cooperation will solve the prob
lem of education for the profession of
home making"

HEARTILY SUPPORT PLANS.

The citizenship of Salem is responsive to appeals for
personal service for the common good OF the city Ihs IS
evident any seeing the result Of the first days campaign
for members of the reOrganized Commercial Club made
yesterday
That there has not heretofore been shown the same
spirit of cooperative effort it would appear from the
present status of the campaign has been due to the lack
of proper basis upon which to get together and stand
together in this community work The present form OF
organization cannot help but appeal to the man of bus
ness 1t is founded the strces business principles for
the conduct of the community business and therefore
gives promise of achieving definite results from the og
cal application of these principles.
That the large number of more than four hundred
memberships should be actually signed up in two-hour
campaign in single day most encouraging to those who
are seeking to make of Salem such city as local condi
tons environment and resources make possible With
the forces at work which it is expected will be centered
in the new commercial body the completion of its mem
bershp and reorganization upon the new plans prepared
the coming of the New Salem the progressive and better
Salem, will be hastened
Encouragement in this belief is given in the harmony
apparent in the committees at work. in which men hereto
fore kept apart by personal and petty differences are
found working heartily together and with one accord for
the community interests. This singeness of purpose
which has been developed is in itself fine reward for the
efforts which have been put forth by the men having the
courage and will to undertake to put into effect this better
plan of securing from her citizens and better service
for Salem
is to be hoped that the response to their abors will
continue until the high hopes of the of vision real
lied.

BUSINESS IN CASE OF WAR

AS coldy calculated fact war between America and
Germany under the circumstances is hardly to be cOnsd

Yet if contrary to all signs and all reasons if in spite
of all that makes for peace such war should come this
country facing it. would stand in position never in all
the history of the world known by any other nation about
to draw the sword
Our government would raise vast war loans but they
would be raised here in our country the last dol

for supplies hundreds of millions month abroad Our
government would be spending hundreds Of millions
month at home Those funds would be poured into our
own industries FARMS mills and factories They would

Our foreign trade would not be nterfered with So
long as the allies should remain in control of the seas
and with fleet added to their naval forces that
selling and delivering to the greater part of the area and
population of the world just as we are now doing No
foreign port that open to would be closed to us
then Every foreign market that is ours would be ours
more than ever
This nation does not seek war with Germany or with
any other power 1t does not appear at all likely that we
will be forced into any Nevertheless if we do have
TO go to war 1t is comforting to realize that there would
be nothing in that future far as human vision can
range it, to check the economic prosperity which is now
adding mmeasureaby to the wealth of the American peo
pe there would be everything to multiply our trade and
extend our power
We do not want greater prosperity at the price of war
but If the price must be paid cannot refuse the added
prosperity

become as wet country as California.

this $25OOO would have provided for the hungry poor and
how high column these loaves of bread might have made
if set end on end.
But what would anybody have this millionaire or any
other rich man, do with his surplus money? Put it away
in sock?
Or shoudit go into the hands of people who are willing
to work for it?
The distribution of this $4,000 among the mass, by
way of the regular channels of trade is no calamity
waste, but great and natural public blessing
Every dollar Of this $4,000 spent for this party went
to trade and labor who warmly welcomed it and will well
come more of the same sort.
Perhaps, according to some standards of judgment,
this money all thrown away But even so was only
thrown back into the channels of circulation The florists
the bakers and every other businessman and workgman
who got share of this money directly or indirectly feel
that this money more thrown away than is any
other money that passes through the regular channels of
legitimate trade and labor.
The millionaire may have got little for his big money
but that his lookout Nobody else has any ground for
complaint at his spending it.

The BIRTH RECORD and
new EDUCATIONAL LAW
Every Year 3,062 Babies Are Born in
Texas Without Legal Record-Has
to Do With Compulsory Law.

Austin, Tex.-During the month of
February, 1915, 1886 births were reg
istered in the entire State, according
to the report of DR.. W. A. Davis, reg
istrar Of vital statistics. March shows
a registration of 5,054 births, gain
Of 2,118 Based on the census of 1910,
Texas should show over $4,000 births
per year If all births were recorded, or
8,116 per month. Even with this in
crease of 2,118, there are approximate.
ly 1902 births not recorded in the
State.
This means that in the future 36,-
744 children born In 1915 will have no
information In the hands of the State
that can be used In the effective ad-
ministration of the compulsory educa.
ton law, and in the enforcement of
this law the usual 10 per cent or more
parents will be able to misrepresent
the correct census Of their children so
as to avoid school attendance.
No child labor law can be effective
unless the birth registration is COM
plete, for the parent that permits the
under-age child to be worked will
change the old Bible record and de.
prive those charged with seeing to the
enforcement Of this law of the strong
est and only Interchangeable evidence of
age.
This 1914 unregistered children for
this year means that the state in the
future in the trial of many cases in.
yolVing the age of consent, the age of
moral responsibility, the reformatory
and the capital punishment age limit
must depend upon different subter-
fuges to establish the age, and that
the state must bear the expense of
many cases of appeal to higher courts
to settle such questions when certi-
fled birth certificate would obviate
much of this expense and many cases
Of appeal.
The attention Of every district Judge
in the State has been called to the
law governing the registration Of
births, and they have been asked to
charge the grand iuries as to viola
tions Of this law, so that the enormous
expenses thrown upon the state in es-
tablishing the age, and in cases that
are appealed upon such ground, may
be eliminated and the taxpayer re-
lieved of this unnecessary burden.

enough to have traded, but the law
wouldn't let me, and I rode on
