There is no bill in the national
congress which should be more 10y
ally supported than the Tess bill,
dealing as it does exclusively with
the work of women. This bill is an
amendment of the SmithHughes
act, operative since 1917 whereby
vocational training in home-making
pursuits may receive as much aid
from Federal funds as is the case
with vocational training in agri-
culture and industrial pursuits.
There are about 26,O00,O00 wo-
men and girls engaged in making
and keeping the homes of the United
States. The Home-maker cannot be
expected to develop the right kind
of home unless she understands
something of child care, sanitation,
food,-nutrition and kindred sub
iects. Experience has shown that,
under present conditions, mother-to-
daughter instruction alone cannot
be relied on to train our girls in
good homemaking practices. About
500 of the money brought into the
homes by the Wage-earners is spent
by women. Surely they should be
trained in wise administering of
this responsibility.
At present less than one-seventh
of / per cent Of our total annual
national expenditure is for educa-
ton of all kinds!
Mr.. Fess of Ohio will introduce
this bill into this session of the Ma
tional congress, and if passed the
vocation of home economics will
receive as much financial support
as the vacations of agriculture and
the trades. Write your representa-
tives at Washington that you want
their support of this measure.
The Chairman of the General
Federation of Home Economics is
urging the club women of Idaho to
Join the organized campaign in the
interest of cotton growers, who are
seriously effected by the economic

Mrs. c. j. Wright chairman of
the Home Economics Department OF
the Idaho Federation hopes that
club woman of Idaho will hear this
appeal and to "Her bit" to restore
the economic balance.
