Anything But Standardization!
Is Motto of Expert on Children

Madison, Wis, Feb. 2S.-The 'old
horror of standardization" above every.
thing, is what Mr.. Maybelle Park seeks
TO avoid in the care of Wisconsin s
homeless neglected, dependent and de-
linquent children.
The states little ward, she holds.
has as good a right as any other
child to an opportunity for develop
mcnt of his own individuality. She
is determined that he shall not lose
this right through the methods,
however we'll meant, of any "insti-
tution.'
DR.. Park is head of the recently
created Juvenile department of the
Wisconsin State Board Of Control.
She supcrvises all state homes in
which children live.
Each Case Investigated.
She does not underestimate the
Importance OF wholesome food, good
care. sanitary accommodations, skilled
medical attention, suitable employ
ment, sufficient rest and proper edu
cational advantages for such homes
inmates, but she points out that these
things are not necessarily inconsistent
with INSTRUMENTATION In Wis
consin, however, she intends that they
shall be.
So far as possible, it is DR.. Parks
aim to provide for the adoption OF
orphans who do not fall under the
classification of detectives or delin-
quents, but she makes a point of in
vCstigatng thoroughly both the child's
antcccdcnts aud the character of the
foster parents in each case of this
sort in order to guard against dis
appointment on either side in future.
Wants New Laws.
She is arranging for the employment
Of the older children in the state homes
or schools. in colonies of 20 each, the
boys at afforestation work. the girls
at domestic tasks or in model factor
les, the idea being to fit them to sup.
port themselves at good wages when
thrown on their own resources.
At present she is working for leg
islation requiring all courts which
commit children to state homes to re-
tain competent physicians and psychoI-
ogists and to employ suitable tests to
determine how to place them to the
best advantage. !
Dr.. Park considers Wisconsin and
Minnesota the states best equipped
with child welfare laws.

STEAKS
By BERTHA f. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University.

Probably most housekeepers. asked
10 name the meat most enjoyed By
their families, would answer steak
This is due partly to the ease with
which steak is prepared, partly to the
fact that many people. especially men,
do not care for made dishes.
Menu cards list various kinds of
steaks. such as sirloin and tenderloin.
presumably thick. to be broiled over
Goals, gas or charcoal. or pGrboiled.
Then, one sees minute steak" very
thin. so as to broil medium" in a
minute.
Sauce is not necessary. but many
people enjoy one. made with fresh or
canned mushrooms.
Onions no longer are considered pic
beian, and what is better than a steak
so smothered, or covered with them
fried?
If q steak is thick-that IS. two or
more inches-it should be carved in
thin slices, sever6l being served To
each person, much better method
than giving each a large piece to be
cut on the plate.
