Jack and Janet played about their

venture out OF their own yards. The
snow made walking tircsome; they knew
they would be quickly worn out should
they go wandering in the forest.

Jack, yswning widely, for the cold
had made him drowsy. He closed his
eyes just for minute or two.

food, clothing and furniture, the world
wide market serving our household
needs, the new science of bacterioiogy,
the old but ever new sciences of die
tetics and hygiene, the physical intel
lectual and moral training of children,
the modern custom of living in closely
packed quarters, the problem of do
mestic service, the application of cleo
trical energy 10 household tasks, the
competition of the school, the play
ground and the public entertainment
for the interest of our children-these
are some of the matters which should
engage the attention of our wives and
mothers if the home is to play it's part
in molding future generations.
Modern developments and inventions
have stolen a large part of the home
from our womenfolk, and it will re-
quire more than "a knowledge of how
to cook beefsteak" to win it back
again. Something can be defie
through our schools and colleges,
and there is need for more colleges
which will offer to properly prepared
women thoroughgoing courses in pri-
vate. institutional and national house,
keeping. And the proper preparation
for such a course should be as broadly
cultural a training as it is possible to
get.

One can only hope that in time they

more than the nomination of Horace
Greeley in 1872, when he and Carl
Schurz, with Samuel Bowles tSpring-
field Republican,, Horace White (Chi-
cago Tribane) and Murat Halstead

combination to control the conven-

Horace Greeley, was admitted into the
