 In pointing out better methods for managing the home, Mrs Chase said:
 One of the greatest helps In the home is a systematic planning of household tasks. of schedules of wcrl< either where there is but one person to direct, and that one the housewife herself, or where there are several There are certain household tasks that have to be done each week, and certain ones that are done each day The weekly scheme includes launder- ing, cleaning, baking, and mend;ng or sewing; while the daily one ron- tains the ir..apari.,cn If meats, I1e cleaning of the dishes, daily care of the home, as cleaning and bed mak- ing. With these as a basis we can plan around them workable schedules for. our weekly and daily tasks
 There is no doubt that the individ- ual home with the varying conditions that different family environments give, will have an equal difference in schedules. There are many condi- tions that will affect this schedule the housing conditions. the location whether it is a country or a city home, the number in the family, the ages, the health of the housewife or the health of other members in the family, the economic conditions, which includes the income. the living standards. the aims of the family, the nature of the employment of those who are earning in the home; all these are of great importance and as there are no two families with She same conditions. there cannot be two schedules in two different localities that would be the same. Therefore it is impossible to lay down a cut and dried schedule, claiming 1t to be the one best plan of work. However. sev- eral tentative ones can be suggested and from these an individual scheme can be planned. The weekly plan must necessarily have for its main progress those tasks that have to be done each week-the washing. iron ing, the weekly cleaning, mending, baking. Which day is the best for each particular duty?
 Right now there Is room for a very interesting rgument-which day for washing? There is a very decided difference of opinion as to the day. Monday has it's advantages, Tuesday, and also there have been some very splendid arguments for Saturday. IL is not the time now to discuss the value of any particular schedule but to urge the adoption of an individual schedule by deciding the day bes; fitted for doing this necessary work
 in the individual home and then plan
 the other work around it Plan a | schedule. and if it does not prove adequate, plan another: each attempt
 will show the value of the program
 and prove the necessity of systematic
 planning.
 1 The essential thing to remember is to evenly balance each days work
 Do not load one day down with ar 1 impossible amount, and another with
 nothing to do. There should without doubt be an even distribution of the 1 work-p1anning so that each day
 would have an allotted time for rest
 recreation or leisure. What one does with this time is for individual choice | but it should be relaxation and
 change from the other hours of work
 Have time for play and learn to play in order that work will become | a less dominant master and more Q directed servant.
