Dear Folks: --.
had letter a few days ago that
was something Of poser, and as
have no children in school, it was
one that held question could not
answer. The gist Of it was this:
do you think that the mothers in
the rural districts as whole take
sufficient interest in the schools their
children attend? Do you. think we
know enough about the education Of
the teachers who teach our chill
dren? Do you think we investigate
enough the sanitary conditions Of
these schools?"
Now, while have no intimate,
personal knowledge, have received
so many letters in the last few years
dealing with questions similar to
these, that I feel that in measure
I am familiar enough with them to
at least discuss them and offer an
opinion.
No. do not think, as a rule, any
of us, in either city or rural dis
tricts, give a sufficient amount of
study to these questions that are so
physical and mental welfare.
In the first place. in the rural
districts the schools are distance
from most Of us, and it isn't always
convenient to visit them often. In
the second place, as a rule, there
seems a pitifully small amount of
money on hand to spend either on
teachers salaries or school improve
ments. So think the Parent-Teach-
ers clubs are the saving grace of
the school situation. Why can't
we, if money is short, give our per-
sonal help to identifying the
grounds and seeing that the SAM
tary conditions are the best avail
able? For every bit of thought and
help you give, you will receive a big
interest in the condition of your
children.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.

I know Of no way to whiten the
teeth if good care and cleaning by
the dentist and yourself fail. You
probably have teeth that are natu-
rally not snow white, many people
do have teeth like that, and as far
as I've been able to learn, the best
you can do it just to keep them in
2 good condition.
Georgia.:
The length of your dresses would
demand a great deal on your height.
While dresses are longer this year
than last, a girl of sixteen would
make very little difference in the
length of her dresses, unless, of
course, she is very tall. A medium
heel, by all means, never French
heel. Both the black and brown
shoes will be good this fall. Blue
and certain shades of brown should
be becoming to you, but you would
have to use care in the selection of
the brown. A good gray would be
becoming, too, I think.

information you desire.
