Two Interesting Visits in
 Monroe County.

Tuesday of the past week was a red letter day on our calendar of visits.
 In the morning of that day we chanced to call on Zent School, the best rural school that 1 have eyer seen. Why is it so good? Simply because they have real ized that learning does not wholly consist of the knowledge obtain ed between the covers of a book but they are really doing practi- cal things. I found the advanc- ed domestic science class uni formly attired in white caps and aprons, busily and quietly pre- paling . luncheon in the model kitchen. In the model dining room, which is completely fur nished in mission, the table was in perfect readiness. from the center piece to the knives, forks, spoons and spotless linen. At serving time all continued to move as smoothly as clock work. All was well done and 1 know these girls are going to continue this vitally necessary work, which means so much to our homes. For who is it today that grasps the new practical ideas and executes them? The daugh- ters of our homes of course.
 Another splendid school is that of Brinkley, this also has splen- | did Home Economies Department Their perfect unison and har- mony prevails and all are pulling together for the good of the chool,>which in the natural t'order of events results in 'suc< cess.
 I hope the time is not far distant when not only all of the towns of Monroe County will es- tablish Home Economic Depart ments, but every rural school as well.
 The work at one time was cIassed as play, but not so now. Girls are beginning to realize the practical value of studies studies dealing with domestic life. They know these to be essential for better and progress siye living, for surely if the home is poorly conducted and the family IS improperly fed. then the body fails to receive that energy produced by food. How many of us know how to properly combine foods that will give the most strength to the body? I think I am safe in say ing that very few of us are qualified. Ne, sensible Ameri- can people, are neglecting the thing that not only mean health, happiness and comfort. but the thing that enables all to be bet ter qualified to carry on our busi- ness enterprises much more suc- cessfully. Let us wake up and deal with the practical elements of life.
