A literary critic has issued a pro-
test against the low state of art of
letter-writing. He asserts that lee

al gossip and chatter Of trivial things:
and that they no longer contain the
exchange of serious thoughts and
comparing Of observations which
Used often to distinguish the epistles
OF intelligent people.
If letter-w writing has degenerated.
the reasons are not hard TO find.
one is that very many persons see
only facts and events. and quite iS-
more that most interesting of tasks,
the tracing of relatednessand causes.
Another is that it is somewhat "un-
fashionable" 10 speak socially OF alb
stract matters or to give extended
descriptions: and even if one were
inclined SO to write, he would refrain
for fear OF being thought pedantic.
Letters should carry notable
thoughts, for letters occupy a pc
culiar place IN ouT means of commu-
nication. In composing a letter ore
has more time for reflection and or
DERBY arrangement of the thoughts
than in speak ing-yet one is, or
should be, free from the restraint
which characterizes nearly all writ
ing intended for the public eye.
Letters ought to be. in short,
friendly, spontaneous. and sparkling
with accounts of what adventures
great or small have befallen the
writer. A person of open percep-
tions sees countless things in the
course of a day which are worth re-
porting Where the duh mind can

HOW To MULTIPLY GENIUsEs

H Arlington Bruce, in his "Psy-
chology and ParenthoOd, tells US
that genius is not so much born as
made. Heredity may be responsible
for some Of the divine spark, but
environment in the early years is
the chief cause OF its manifestation.
What Mr.. Bruce means is that
while the great poet or artist may
have some special gift, the Underly-
ing fact Of genius is the connection
between subliminal and objective
consciousness. The objective mind
must be trained to acquire impress
sions. while the subliminal mind
stores them and cOrrelates them.
Then If the two work together
smoothly, the result is genius. or at
least it is ability and power far
above the average.
Most people use only a fraction
Of their powers, and develop that
fraction too late 10 get the best re-
suits with it. The argument OF Mr..
Bruce is for wiser parenthOod. If
the surroundings Of the little child
are Of positive value. instead Of neg
ative or positively bad, the child will
have that much greater power in his
maturity.
The argument is for surrounding
the child with simplicity Of color and
line in the home instead Of the usual
American messiness Of interior dec

IN HOME ECONOMICS
TEACHING


(Springfield, Ill, state Register.)
Housekeeping cottages, in which
the students obtain actual practice
in houhehoid work. are a prominent
feature of current progress in home
economics according to report Is
sued by the department of the in
terror through the bureau of edu-
cation.
The practice house is as distinct
ly a legitimate part OF the equip
ment of teaching home economies
as the sewing machine, ironing
board. or individual desk with it's
cooking utensils" declares the re-
port
Home economies departments in
schools and colleges are not all so
fortunate as TO have residences in
which TO instruct in home manage
ment and in house wifery There
has been some hesitancy among
school officers because of the initial
expense of a practice house. But as
it is recognized that these houses
are quite as necessary as are good
laboratories and that the maintain
ence costs are not excessive, more
departments are being thus supplied.
These houses offer opportunities for
experimental studies in household
administration, make practice in
home furnishing possible. and afford
places for studies in nutrition"
The report shows that home
economies is nov a recognized
course of study in all agricultural
colleges TO which women are ad
mitted. Thirty-one state universities
offer regular courses in home econ
omics. and most of the private and
UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and univer-
sites now offer similar instructions.
So important has the subject be-
come in state public school systems
during the past two or three years
that now practically every state nor
NAL school has a course in home
economics for prospective school
teachers.
Summer schools are coming TO
play an especially important part in
home economic teaching. The
bureau of education received an
nouncements from 1872 schools Z !.

summer Of 1914; in 1915 the num-
Der reporting had increased to 230,
and a still further increase is al
ready assured for 1916.
Twentv-three states report an out
line of lessons in home economics
for statewide use. A state manual
Of study for the public elementary
schools of Alabama contains an out
line for lessons in cooking and sig
gestions for the teaching OF sewing
in the grades. with lists OF equip

science teachers in the grades. IN
