MAKING HOUSEWORK EASIER
Place in Most Of the Homes of
the Country.

The sale of household and kitchen
utensils is subject to all sorts of
chances and changes from the fiuctua-
tions in public taste and the march of
Improvement. Wood bowls and mine
ing knives were once staples, but the
invention Of food choppers has seri-
ously diminished their usefulness.
The growing popularity OF aluminium
utensils has had some setback be-
cause housekeepers find the metal
harder to keep clean and bright than
enamel ware.
The old=fashioned castiron pets, skill
lets and frying pans are out OF date
save in remote country districts, and
have given place to wrought-steel
utensils, much lighter and more last
ing. Every modern kitchen has like
wise up-to-date small conveniences,
such as mechanical lighters in place
Of matches, asbestos mats to keep
things hot, soap containers for dish
washing. cool handled stove lifters, and
the like. One of the great changes
that has come in the household is the
vacuum cleaner, taking the place Of
the broom, the carpet sweeper and
the carpet Deater, ana saving all this
hard hand labor, since the best and
most efficient cleaner is electrically
run and needs only to De attached to
the electric lighting plug.

Service Makes Boy Scouts Healthy.

People who deride or are concerned
at the employment of Boy Scouts in
the duty of coast watching will be en-
lightened by the observations of Doc
tor Aldous, chief commissioner for
Portsmouth, who found sickness Is
rare thing among them and wishes
that more Scouts could be put on this
duty, which is making such big, healthy
lads of them. He enumerates several
cases of boys of fourteen who have
gained materially in weight and chest
measurement in three months or less,
and the zeal they display is surprising
when it is considered what a great
change 1t must be for town boys to
be dropped on bleak and lonely part
of the cOast.-LondOn Globe.

EDUCATION FOR DEVELOPMENT

Education may be divided into three
grand divisions: First, school train.
ing in the so-called three Rs This
is fundamental, and, without it, fur
ther education is impossible. Second
ly, broad or liberal education, such as
is given in our high schools, colleges.
and other institutions of learning.
which do not specifically prepare one
for his vocation. Thirdly, education
directly bearing upon ones selected
calling, like that given by the medical,
law, and technical schools.
In this article shall confne myself
to the second class, that of education
which stands between fundamental
and vocational training.
Authorities are divided Some over
practical men claim that this cultural
education is not necessary, and that
the boy should jump Immediately from
the fundamentals into a training
which would directly assist him in the
work of his life; other educational ex-
perts strongly advocate liberal edu-
cation, like that given in our colleges,
asserting that it will broaden the
mind and fit it better to grasp the re.
quirements of the future. These lat
ter authorities do not object to the
technical training, but they would
have the young man ground himself
in general culture, if l may put it that
way, before he obtains vocational
training, or during the time in which
he is obtaining it.
Many of the colleges are following
out this idea, and adapting their cur
ricula to it, allowing the student to
study general subjects while he is TAX
i.g up one or more directly in the line
of his future work.
1t has been said that one cannot be
too broadly educated. This is true,
provided this education can be OBJ
tanned without too great a sacrifice.
II boy is going to enter business
where he cannot directly use the class
les or other cultural subjects, and can
not obtain knowledge of them ex-
cent at enormous sacrifice, l advise
him to forego a college education; but.
if he is in a position to become lib
orally educated, irrespective of his
coming calling, suggest for him a
university course, or any other form
of broad education, which will un-
doubtedly better fit his mind to absorb
the technique of his trade.
If, however, one is to enter a pro-
fession, this general broad education
will be found of direct value to him,
although he may not use all of it. His
mind then becomes his working tools,
and it should be trained along the
broadest and most liberal lines, a
training which is not as necessary if
one is to enter business.
1t is the man, more than the educa
ton. The education at best can only
assist him in his development
In summing up, l would say: Get
all the education you can, cultural and
otherwise, provided you can do SO
without injury to your health or to
your prospects. If you are SO situated
because it is necessary for you to be |
self-supporting at an early age, |
would suggest that you forego much
of this education, which otherwise |
would advise you to obtain.
When in doubt, get more education |
than you think you need, rather than |
less. 1t is simply question of wheth.
er you can afford to pay the price.
