Taught How to Get
Value for Dollar.

Value for Dollar. the scient,a.
cally-taught young. In their courses in
home economics. the schools are teach
ing not only dietetics and dressmaking,
but the value Of artistic decoration
and the importance Of getting a dol
lars worth out of a dollar. In New
York city the Speyer School in connec-
ton with the Teachers College of CO.
lumbia University has rented an apart
onstration Of Housekeeping for it's stu
dents, and $500 has been appropriated
to finance the project.
The home economics class was told
to consider the problems of an imagi-
nary family by the name Of Yorke.
consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Yorke. the
father Of Mrs. Yorke and the three
Yorke children-a girl Of fourteen, a
boy of eight and another girl aged
$1,000. The class was to rent an apart
ment for them, furnish it and calcu-
late running expenses.
The teachers took the students to see
many apartments and finally brought
them to the one that had been selected
by the school, pointing out Its ad-
vantages over the others in the mat
ter of location, light and air. The
apartment rented for $27 a month.
which they decided was the right
amount for the Yorke family to pay
when you considered that this price
also included heat. Then came the mat
ter of furnishing it. which they figured
would cost 5000. This they counted as
the savings of the Yorke family and
not as part Of the yearly income.
The girls visited the department stores,
and, supervised by the instructors,
selected furniture and materials. the
instructors pointing out the various
differences between good and bad ar
ticles.
Next came the question Of light. The
school decided to let two students live
in the apartment on condition that
they take care Of 1t and help with
the work Of the other girls. and an
appropriation of SEQ was set aside to
cover the cost OF eight months light.
Besides this, $50 was contributed out
of the fund for research work in in
vestigating the recreation and amuse-
ment advantages of the neighborhood.
They wished to ascertain the amount
Of amusement the Yorke family could
obtain on an income of $1,000. Thus
out of the $500 appropriated by the
college, s216 was spent for the rent
Of the apartment for eight months;
500 for light; $40 for furnishings; $40
for research, and s34 for incidental ex-
penses incurred for charwomen and
janitors' tips.

and Wills Point. which are the most
important In this county. declared Mr..
Mcknight, have school buildings for
public use that would be a credit to

FINAL UNION SER
VICE LAST NIGHT
Pastor Of the First Christian Church
breaches Final Union Sermon
for This Summer.

The last OF the series OF union
services Of the various churches was
held at the Christian church Sunday
evening. The address for the even
ing was delivered by Rev. ]. C. WEIGH,
pastor Of the Christian church. A
: large and attentive audience listened
to the instructive sermon.
The sermon was taken from Eze.
kiel 47:1-l2. picturing the vision Of
the holy waters as seen by this
prophet Of God. A very beautiful
spiritual application was made that
appealed to all present. The waters
issuing from beneath the temple is
symbolic Of the grace and power of
God issuing from His divine being
The waters coming through the door.
way Of the temple points to our minds
the fact that Jesus is the door OF life
the only avenue OF entrance into
the celestial city.
The waters widening. deepening
and increasing In strength Is repre-.
sentation OF the ever widening and
increasing power Of the gospel OF
Jesus Christ. First the water was
only ankle deep. then knee deep. loin
deep. and finally a river which could
not be passed over. Just so the
teachings OF Christ had a small be.
ginning. but gradually increased un.
III they became a mighty river OF
good that will benefit the entire
world. As the river was to pass down
through the desert and everything II
touched was to live, Just so the teach.
ings Of Christ are to go into all the
desert places Of life, giving freedom
and life to nations and individuals.
As the trees that grew by the riv.
er's side furnished food and medicine
for the needs Of men. so the spirit
that emanates from God through
Christ is not only nourishing and
life giving. but is healing to the dis.
eases OF sin.
The discourse was closed with the
expression Of the hope that the feel.
