The country lies partly within and
partly without the torrid zone, with
league after league of rich, green
grazing land. knee deep with juicy
grasses that contrast sharply in color
the Argentine prairies. This country
will probably be the future range for
the production of lean cattle which
will be shipped to the cooler south for
fattening and slaughter. Indeed. one
of the chief items III Paraguay's ex-
ports today is live cattle, which are
shipped to Argentina and Uruguay for
fattening.
In other agricultural lines Paraguay
has great possibilities of development.

Paraguay's industries are small local

of the population. Paraguay has but
one railroad. Uruguay is netted with
railroads and humming with industry.
The largest beef extract factory in tho

plants are on a scale which vies with
anything, in Chicago. and a number Of
other industries have almost equal i'm

almost every university permits one
credit of home economics as one of the
entrance requirements. Many changes
have taken place in the method of
teaching this course. First of all, there
has been a change in names. Domes-

in it's place has come the more definite
terms 'handwork.' clothing textiles

endowed with executive ability. The
study of household administration,
therefore, is most important for her.
Another marked change which I no
ticed on my trip of inspection was in
the methods of teaching. There is a
distinct effort to connect the school
with the home, and to make the school
conditions as nearly ideal home condi-
lions as possible. That leads to
change in the method of teaching food
preparation. The small quantity of
cookery, where there was a minute
quantity of food and unlimited time.
