Domestic Science Is
Valuable Aid to Man
BY Miss Nina Chambers Mexican,

elements of our national life which
finds sanction In our schools
Social and economical changes IN
the world of men and women brought
the teaching of Home Economics into
the schools. Everyone recognizes that
the home is the fundamental basis Of
our national life; therefore we must
reach our children through the public
school. The people are beginning to
realize the great necessity and are
supporting the school boards in its
introduction.
We must train children in way
which will render them efficient as
citizens, as producers, and as men and
women of culture, within their ind.-
vidual measure of capacity and op-
portunity.
1t is not our idea to advance a
theory which is not practical and will
be drawback to our girls, but rather
to help and inculcate in them a great
er desire to help themselves, hence
humanity. If Domestic Science is not
practical, then what is?
Many of our girls may never have
the real actual work to do, but it is
expedient that each and every one
shall know how to have it done in a
practical and economical way. So
please cooperate and let us try in
every way to make this department a
success and feel sure you will be
greatly benefited by your efforts.

In this highly utilitarian age, the
question first asked in regard to any
new thing proposed is what's the use!
So the subject of Domestic Science
recently introduced in our public
schools, the same question has been
repeatedly asked
Domestic science means the selec-
ton and preparation of food, the nu-
triton of the body, sanitation and
care of the home. If life means any
thing coherent or ineligible, 1t
means education. If we know how to
educate ourselves so as to be able to
enjoy and achieve on the largest scale,
we should solve the problem of living.
We are now facing a new era in ed
ucational methods and ideals. In this
industrial age when theory is giving
away to practice, there is demand
for tangible results. The public not
only expects but demands that our ed
ucational institution turn out finished
products; real men and women. with
sympathies broad enough to compass
every phase of life and with under
standing general and specific enough
to see things, not only as they ought to
be, but as they really are. In this time
of educational unrest men are turning
their minds to their immediate needs
They are realizing that there are
phases of our own civilization that
must be fostered by women. Conse-
Quently they point with energy to those

New York, Sept, S. Attention in
Wall Street today was strikingly di-
yerted from foreign politics to home in
dustrial affairs. The Hesperian Incl
dent was seemingly dismissed. Since
the street never was worried over the
Dumba incident, International politics
ceased to be discussed
The market opened irregular, sold off
fractionally, and then grew stronger.
The advances, however, were not well
distributed and the trading was light.
A point advance in the bid quotation
for United States government bonds
may have reflected feeling over the
German issue.
Foreign exchange continued uncer.
tain, but the indications pointed to a
tendency to become steady.
