INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
NEEDED IN THE SCHOOLS
Should BE Systematic and Not Hap,
hazard to Get Best Results.

tBy Miss Edith l.. Parrott, State
Agent, Home Demonstration Work
The history Of modern education
can be profitably studied only from
the point of view of industrial edu-
cation. AS Greece and Rome in ages
past have had their several ideals, so
into clearer vision of an ideal of
industrial supremacy. The domi-
nant note in the life of our country
today is that of constructive and
serving power. Education is life"
The school must become linked more
closely to life. and must prepare it's
students for efficient service in the
life into which we send them. The
problem of today is TO develop along
with the purely cultural and disciG-
linary work of education new func-
tions which will Increase the irdus-
trial, social, and civic efficiency Of
the young women in the present in
dustrial era. Let us hold up before
day new twentieth century IDEALS:

economics of the household. the

work be the direction of tho affairs

When home economics should be
taught the young women of our
country:
We have courses in domestic sci
ence, or household economics, in ali
of our leading colleges and univer-
stiles. Here the few who are so for
Sunate as to attend college receive
this much needed instruction. We
md, too, that domestic science
our high schools. This is good, but
cooking, sewing, sanitation, and
household art in the elemntary
schools is best. 1t is here that SO
per cent Of our girls complete their
education. After a few years these
girls will be the home makers. To
teach these girls to be efficient home
makers is essential to the improve
ment OF the homes OF the next gem
Grafton. This fact should be pro-
claimed by every woman's club. by
every teachers association and by
every organization devoted to the

Sancement of the masses.

 CLIMATE IS ONE OF

 It's high time that we are eapitalzing our climate like they have done up east and out west There is no better climate in the United States than at Anniston. If you don't believe me, ask the Anniston doctors. Here is my proof (and in boost ing Anniston's claims I am also holding up Birmingham, for we are next door neighbors):
 The temperature in winter rarely falls below 20 degrees and during the summer climbs above 80. q am bound to admit while writing this that It is trying itself
