OF Getting Results in His Educational
Work in Vermont.
Burlington, July Estate Com
missioner of Education Milo B. Hill
legas introduced himself to the union
superintendent of schools as a body
practically for the first time Monday
afternoon when the superintendent
held their opening meeting of the
week in the Williams Science hall at
the university. The commissioner
told his hearers that his policy would
be not to disturb or tear down, but
continue in much the same path as
his predecessors.
The chief problem he and they had
to face, said he, had to do with SUI
pervision. New buildings or i'm
proved buildings arose when super
vision first began, and now the stud
ents themselves must be the object
Of improvement. He said he was
hopeful of results.
The commissioner suggested that
arithmetic and spelling be chosen as
the chief subjects before this years
conference.

I'm
Impossible
Ideal2

Perhaps, after all, the real danger Is
not that women will ever forget the
value of the home and their obligation
to IL, but that men will never entirely
learn them.
We are indebted to that gifted and
charming essayist, Elizabeth Wood
bridge, for the following: ITO say that
it is woman's task to make the home
Is to miss its most exquisite meaning.
No one of the group can make the
home, though any one can mar it 1t
must be made by all for the uses OF
all"
Well, If it is one thing for all to use
the home, it is another thing for all
and by that we mean every one under
the rooftree-to help make the home.
And we will probably never learn the
true significance of this difference I'M
less we first stii.ctly understand that
making home is more, far more, than
a matter of cooking food and making
beds, of fetching and carrying and rum
ming the vacuum cleaner.
There can be no quarrel with that
division Of labor which makes house
hold tasks very largely a woman's bust
ness and breadwinning outside the
home a mans business.
But after both men and women have
accomplished thus much there still re-
mains the finest part of the task Of
homemaking.
1t lies in heart interest. in love for
the home as an institution and in q
thorough belief in its sacredness. A
woman once said. Il can conceive Of
such fine Interpretation of the mean
ing and value of home that in case OF
difficulty or disagreement between two
people the very ideal Of the home it
self would outweigh the personal ele-
ment and conserve unity"
The idea that two people might be
willing to submerge personal differ
ences to the larger ideal Of home itself
may be an ambitious conception, but
surely not impossible. And in this
role Of homemaker Il man may serve
as largely and as truly as a woman.
