EDUCATION FOR THE HOME

Study of home relationships, as an
essential part OF education, is the on
ly cure for the divorce evil, according
to DR.. b. r. Andrews, in bulletin on
Education for the Home" just issu-
ed by the United States Bureau OF
Education.
In the making and the conduct of a
home mans responsibility is equal
to woman's, according to DR.. Andrews
"As we have lately been emphasizing
woman's responsibility for municipal
and civic matters" he says, so we
urge that men become more conscious
OF the home and their relation to 1t.
1t takes two to start a home and the
child has a father as well as moth
err"
The basis of appreciation of the
home is laid in the kindergarten.
Household arts will henCeforth be
taught in the elementary schools, in
a general way, while practical train
ing in domestic science will be given
to girls whose education is to end
with the elementary school"
Practically all the State normal
schools have organized household
arts departments, according to DR..
Andrews. or the colleges and uni
versities, over $50 have definite Cours-
es of instruction in home economics.
A number of government agencies,
including the home education division
of the Bureau of Education, the Child
ren's Bureau, the Public Health Ser
vice, and the Department of Agricul-
ture, are all, according to this bulletin
engaged in reinforcing the home and
the school in social betterment.
The child is school minded" says
Dr.. Andrews. For this reason the
child can be reached through the
school. The school can help the home
by reinforcing the natural interest OF
the child in the home, by imparting
knowledge necessary for sharing in
home activities, and by affording
some practice in them"
Among the plans for connecting the
home and the school, that OF giving
credit" at school for hoUsework done
at home is becoming widespread. The
application of this idea is seen in
what is known as the Crete plan"
II has been in successful operation
for 10 years in Crete, Nebr., and has
been adopted in so or more high
schools in that State and in neighbor-
ing ones. This plan secures the CO.
operation of women able and willing
to teach cooking of some given arti-
Gle. AS many as 20 articles included in
the course. Girls thereby see the in
terror of many good homes and gain
impressions of good housekeeping.
Girls become interesteJ in cooking
with the result that they are often
found in the kitchen when their moth
ers entertain in tie parlor. The plan
has been said to be "the most demo.
cratic form. OF cooperation. and the
best method of philanthropy yet dis
covered"

FIRING LINE IN WAR.

In a statement prepared the Nation
al Geographic Society tells something
of the colonial troops now on the fir
ing line in the war in Europe. The
statement says:
Asia, Africa and, Australasia have
furnished their quota OF men to the
firing lines in Europe. Among these
foreign troops that have most dis
tinguished themselves in European
warfare are the French TurcOS and
the English Singhalese. This is the
first appearance of the Singhalese up
on European battlefields, but the Tur-
cos have been employed on the white
continent several times.
The Singhalese are natives OF Cey-
lon There are, strictly speaking
100000 of them. They are settled
in the central and southern divisions
of the island. They are members OF
the Aryan family by language, but,
in blood, they are a very mixed race,
though basically they are of white
blood. They are descendants OF col
on.sts from the valley of the Ganges,
who are thought to have settled In
Ceylon about 500 years before the
birth OF CnrlSt.
The Singhalese have remained a
stationary folk since the opening of
the Christian era. Their costumes,
customs and manner of life are much
the same to-day that they were more
than 1000 years ago. In appearance,
the men of this people are peculiarly
effeminate. Their bodies are slender
and their features are delicate. Their
dress is womanish, even to the extent
of fastening their longshair back from
the forehead by means of dainty
combs. The men, also, wear ear
rings. Nevertheless, the Singhalese
have managed to cover themselves
with glory by brilliant service in the
fearful battletields of Europe.
The Turcos are French military
organization; not a folk. 'Turcos' is
TIE name which the French have APP
piled to those troops that they have
formed out of natives of Algeria. They
are Of Arabic and negro stock, and
are among the best trained colonial
troops in the world.
The Turcos were organized in the
first instance, as was also the case
with the Foreign Legion, solely for
In Algeria. However,
France early found use for them in
other fields I'm 1859, the Turcos went
through their first European campaign
In Italy. These same troops won in
ternatlonal renown, when, in 1901,
their deperate fighting proved one OF
the most serious obstacles to German
success upon more than one battle
field. Again, in 1884. the Turcos saw
service In the far distant French pro-
vince In China. The Turcos have al
ways distinguished themselves in
hardy endurance and in reckless
bravery"

Water Rights Forgotten.
The indictments grow out OF a
$5,050,000 irrigation project in Colo
RADIO. the promoters, it is alleged, hav-
ing failed to obtain water rights be-
fore they sold bonds. The govern
ment officials claim that the bonds
were sold upon allegations that wa
ter rights had been secured and that
$4,000 acres would bloom like a gar.
den.
While the promoters dug a tunnel
costing 100000 through the Medicine
Bowl range, they were enjoined from
tapping the water by a rival irriga,
ton syndicate.
The members of the Farson firm are
implicated as the sellers of the bonds
John larson. Sr., formerly head of the
firm, since deceased, is said to have
sold over 100000 worth of bonds.
The government evidently charges
that the men Interested in selling the
bonds knew of the fraud. This, says
the Farson attorney, George w. Mil.
Ter, is a matter of proof and not of
surmise.

ASSERTS BERLIN
Enemy Failed to Smash Teutons'
Wedge.
LOSSES MAY TOTAL 10000
German Statement Says Foes Casual
ties for Week Between Meuse
and MoseIIe Are Very
Heavy.

Berlin, April 13.--The new French
attempt to crush the German wedge
between the Meuse and Moselle has
been defeated with enormous losses,
according to dispatches received here.
While the onslaughts continue with
great fierceness. the enemy has sur
fered definite check on both sides
of the wedge.
The French losses In the last weeks
hghting in this region are Variously
estimated at between $4,000 and 49,
600. These figures are based on re-
ports that at isolated points in the
battle zone from 400 to 1000 bodies Of
French soldiers have been found.
Artillery HaIts Advance.
The large bodies of troops have been
thrown against the st. .Mihiel-Etain
line-the northern side of the Ger.
man wedge-the gains made by the
French have been of no military impor-
lance. In the center, after suffering
the loss of more than an entire regi-
r1ient, the enemy succeeded In advanc-
ing his lines few hundred yards, but
has been unable to make further
pi ogress because Of the dominant po-
sition of the German artillery around

The French gain in this locality has
been more than Offset by losses on

attacks the Germans have advanced
their lines at several points, notably
in the ALLY and LIE Pretre forest, at
the same time repelling the most furi-
Gus French attacks.
French Strategy Failure.
The plan of the allies to conduct
such a vigorous offensive in this re-
gion as to interfere with the German
Carpathian strategy has met with ut
ter failure. Not only have the Ger
mans maintained their positions be-
tween the Mouse and the Moselle
without the aid of re-enforcements,
but they have at the same tame taken
the offensive at several other points,
notably in the Argonne and around
Hartmannsweilerkopf.
British Suffered Heavily in Battle.
London, England, April 13.-Six hun
dred and eighty-three names, includ-
ing twenty-three men who were killed,
were added to the previous casualty
lists of the losses in the fighting at
Neuve Chapelle last month. This list
brings the total casualties in this en-
gagement to 1924. or this number

70 coRREsPoNoENrs.

Here are ten rules for country cor
respondents. They are prepared by
an experienced newspaper man. Cut
them out and keep them:
1. Do not abbreyiate. DO not write
Mr.. & Mrs, but Mr.. and Mrs; not
Mon. or Sat. but Monday or Saturday.
2. Leave space between items for
correction or additions.
8. Give both initials. Write G. Ii.
Brown instead of Mr.. Brown or Mr..
G. Brown. '.f... .yn 80
A. Write important subjects fully.
Do not dismiss the death OF we'll
known pioneer in half dozen words,
but write something OF interest con-
corning him.
5. Have verbs agree with subjects.
Don't say Mr.. and Mrs. B. was, but
Mr.. and Mrs. B., were. Mr.. and Mrs.
b. may be one scripturally. But they
are two dramatically. p.
G. Don't use nicknames. Use James
Brown instead of Jim Brown, Edward
instead of ED.
Z. Give the time in an item Mr..
Brown was in Lansing, the house
burned dawn, are incomplete. Tell
when things happened.
8. Don't send articles rejecting
upon the character of individuals or
firms. The newspaper is not looking
for libel suits; neither does it care to
right your personal wrong.
Important suggestion, though not
rule: Carefully look over your
news after it is published and note
what changes had to be made.
While the, rules given above are
important as relating to written news
yet there is one rule supersedes them
all. Telephone really important news
at once. E. t-..
