AUNT JULIA'S COUNCIL
friendly meeting place for all TWeeky Journal readers

Suppose most Of you are attend
ing school, 1 am not now, but hope
to be soon. When not in school we
can learn at home if we will try; we
shouldn't throw our books aside when
school stops, but study some every
day and not forget what we have
learned, for everybody should strive
for an education, though I think we
girls should learn to be good cooks
and make the home more attractive
and pleasant as well. I believe you
boys and Aunt Julia will agree with
me on that, won't you? AS well
cooked foods are an aid to good
health, and no telling what else.
Who tlilzes to go to Sunday school?
I do; there are two churches, Meth
odist and Baptist, about a quarter
mile from home, and we Baptist
have a good Sunday school and good
singing. We have a male and female
quartet. I am one in our girl quartet.
I think it's nice. Cousins, you who
haven't a quartet, start one and see
how much more interest will be
taken in Sunday school, then write
us about it. Now you who care to
write to a girl in the teens, come on,
