town,
Just the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind,
For there's nothing really new;
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town;
ut isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men

Lest others should get ahead;
When everybody work and nobody

You can raise town from the dead.

Your neighbor can make one, too;
Your town will be what you want to

THE BIG. LITTLE GIRL AND HOME
ECONOMICS

She doesn't like school. She is too
big for her chair She has to spend a
lot of time on history and iorgafy and
whole lot of stuff she sees no sense
IN and so she quits at the early age
OF fourteen or thereabouts. Is she all
to blame? Maybe the school is part
wrong, too.
All right" says the women of the
country. Give us the money and we
will start the kind of schools these
girls ought to have"
The women are talking about the
Fess Home Economics Amendment
(H. r. 21) which is now under con-
sideratiOn in the Committee of Edu-
cation of the House of Representa-
tives. Representative Simeon D. Fess
OF Ohio is chairman of this commit
tee and sponsor of the bill. If this bill
becomes a law every state in the I'm
ion may have at least $4,000 of Feder-
al funds for home economics classes.
Hence, $4,000 for home economics
classes, as this must be matched by

receive great amount in proportion
to their population.
WueH Sne can play about cook
stove and cut out a pattern in the very
latest style, this practical-minded lit
tie girl will like school so much she
will come every day. She will learn
just what kinds of foods are most

makes them digestible, and the kind
of cloth that wears longest, and the
solemn fact that it is possible for
clothes to be both pretty and sensi-

Moreover, she will carry back to the

fee, fried pork and fried potatoes for

bread and coffee for supper is not
the most wholesome nor the most
