MOTHERS CLUB
HOLDS MEETING

1.-THE Home and School" was
the subject discussed It the meet
ing or the Mothers club of the W.
&c. T. L. held yesterday afternoon
at the home Of Mrs. j. f. Straight
in Fairmont avenue.
The meeting throughout was
one OF interest and was especially
helpful to mothers
Mrs. T. L. Henderson. in her
devotional. brought out the
thought that in this busy wOrka-
day life VIC have so little time for
prayer and quiet communion with
God. but that We really need to
pray and exercise faith now, more
than ever. because of the many
problems facing US as mothers
which we cannot solve without
divine help.
Miss Marion Howell talked in
terestingly of her work as school
E, nurse which is OF a very broad
scope. The school children are
tuught the Importance OF good
health by means OF stories, songs,
games. health clowns and fairies,
/. AMI IN this pleasing way they I'M
consciously absorb health rules
. and truths. which they In turn
carry into their homes and through
life. wherever they may go, the in
iucnce or their early training in
health will so on and on, and touch
the lives OF others.
Miss Howell made the striking
statement that the United States
was one Of the last of the civilized
nations to seriously consider the
problem Of health, education and
medical inspection in the public
schools.
In 1894 medical inspection was
inHu euratpd in Boston. the United
states merely following the lead OF
many Of the foreign countries.
France was the first country to
make . beginning. having started
medical inspection in 1887.
Miss Howell said that the
mothers could hest cooperate by
Keeping the children in 4 happy,
cheerful frame OF mind. and not to
keep before them their physical
defects IL they had any. SUCH as
underweiEht or overweight or any
sub-nurmal condition and after a

these things could be corrected.

vital Importance that girls and
young women be taught thea Of
home making as a part of their
education. SO that they may be fit
ted for the great responsibility
that may come to them later in

said most anyone could be a mere
housekeeper, but It takes much
more than a knowledge OF cleaning
and cooking and other routine
work, that usually falls TO the lot
OF the housewife, to be a real home
maker, for 1t is a many sided pro

in one.
