Dr. Emile Watts Mcvea.- president
OF Sweet Briar College. paid gracious
tribute to Virginians who had nodded
the democracy OF the land in n brill
liant and scholarly address on women

EDUCATORS IN the South and has spent
her life In developing educational OPP

was dern OF women at the University

her.
Dr. McNca said that Richmond does

democracy Is one of those fundamental
words IN the language which is refined

II Is found far different. Thomas JEFF

Here is perfectly new. perfectly I'M

hundred and siXty-five days before you
days for work and days for pleasure,
days for big accomplishment If you
choose. What are you going to do with
them? 1t would be wrong to say that
you can do with them just as you
choose. That would be a false opti-
mism. For there may be sickness and
misunderstanding over which you
have no control. There may be flnan-
cial trouble, and prices may soar even
higher thanathey have gone heretofore
Oh yes. there will probably be troubles
enough for the housewife in this year
1917.
Still you can start right, and there is
a lot in the starting.
And here are some. things you can do
to make the right .llnd of starting.
First have committee system for the
work and a.budget system for the ex-
penses, and a routine system for the
disposal Of YOUR time. These are three
of the greatest helps that any house
wife can possibly adopt,
The committee system applies, of
course, only where there are more than

the one for whom you keep house there
are occasionally four hands. And the
extra hands ought to have certain du-
ties. That means that responsibility Is
shared, that interest is created and
that the work is better done. For in
stance, almost any man whose wife
does the work entirely alone finds time
to do few little tasks. He may never
help wash dishes. and perhaps we hope
he does not, If he works all day at his
own kind Of toll, but he probably has
some particular aptitude with saw or
hammer, spade or hoe that he can turn
to account to make the household tasks
and the garden tasks lighter.
Well, II he does do something to help
make that something a definite task.
Perhaps every morning he stokes the
furnace and perhaps he Is willing to
bring in the milk or the paper or the
rolls when he attends to that task. II
he Is willing to do 1t and 1t does not
inconvenience him, make that q stated
special task. He will like to do 1t much
more if'he knows he IS depended on to
do it'and II you do not ask him every
morning to attend to It.
Where there are children the COM
mittee system is much more elaborate.
Then each child should have some de-
finite stated task, something to do each
day and every day. Just having to "help
mamma" for an hour every afternoon
isn't very interesting to the average
youngster. but being depended upon to
set the table and keep track of the salts
and peppers and sugar bowls makes
the little girl bristie with Importance.
Doing chores" isn't much fun for the
boy, either. but being treated like a
man who must do a certain task every
day or be denied his spending. money is
quite a different matter. Spend little
time this New Years day planning a
committee system for your work this
year.
Tomorrow we will talk about the
budget system and the next day there
will be time for a little advice on the
routine way OF working.
