Y. M. c. A. NOTES

A letter from Pittsburg states that
the opening of the splendid new
100000 building has been delayed
owing to the failure of our colored
people there to raise their quota of
the fund. The building was complet-
ed two months ago. We are glad that
our people in Denver have already
seen to it that no such condition shall
overtake them, when once our new
building has been begun, through any
failure on their part to raise their
quota. Pittsburg's present plight is
also a warning to those whose sub
scriptions are due and are yet unpaid
as we'll as to those who are yet to
come due.
Next month (August) is the regular
time for the expiration of our pledges.
1t is hoped that our subscribers who
have not yet paid their pledges, and
those whose pledges come due in Aug
ust, will see to it that they are paid.
We are urging this because of the i'm
portance it will have on the work
when once the building has begun, as
will. also the fact that the reputation
of our group is at stake in this matter.
Let us see to it that the joy rides
and the good times are deferred for a
week or two until our pledges are
paid. Good times and JOY rides abide
forever; our building funds we need
at once.
Mr.. Robert B. DeFrantz of the In
ternational Committee is due in the
city on August Oath, remaining with us
over Sunday the 26th. Plans are be-
ing made to make Mr.. DeFrantz's COM
ing closing feature of our subscrip-
ton collecting campaign. Announce
ment of this fact will take place from
time to time as the plans develop. The
regular monthly meeting of the Com
mittee of Management will be held
next Wednesday evening, August I, at
8 o'clock. We see no reason why
every member should not make it his
business to be here. We hope he may.
Added to our newspaper files this
week are the following: The Bystander
(Des Moines), California Eagle, Chi
cago Enterprise, Savannah Journal
and Michigan State News.
Our honor roll for the week is about
the smallest yet-smal but honorable.
1t is as follows: Frank S. Brickler,
Lieut.. Earl w. Mann, (American Le-
gion), Joseph Thompkins.

ECONOMICS EDUCATION

Hampton, Va.-Miss Anna NJ
Cooley, who since 1917 has been as
sociate professor Of household arts in
Teachers College, Columbia Univer-
sity, and who is the author Of a num-
Der of textbooks, spoke recently in
Ogden Hall to the Hampton Institute
workers and students on "Home-Eco-
Monies Education" Miss Cooley re-
ferred to the rapid development of
home-economics education since the
organization, in 1910, Of the American
Association of Home Economies. She
described briefly what is being done
in elementary and high schools, as
well as in normal schools and colleges,
to give girls and young women the
fundamentals of home-economics edu-
cation, which includes work in the
preparation Of luncheon dishes, study
of budgets. care Of children, lessons in
home furnishing. lessons in sewing
and the making of clothes, household
management, health improvement,
family relationships, and cafeteria
management
Home economics" said Miss Cool
ey, is not just cooking and sewing,
which are valuable, but includes BAG
teriology, chemistry, art, economies,
and sociology. / have found home
economics emphasized abroad and at
home as a very important study in
elementary schools, in high schools, in
colleges, in continuation classes, and
in research work. We have tried
through home-economics subjects to
develop the character of the boys and
girls who come to us in these classes.
In home-economics study people learn
how to cooperate and to be courte-
Gus and responsible. The purpose of
home-economics education, to quote
friend, is to have every home in this
country economically sound, mechan-
ically convenient, physically healthful,

have been made BY the industrial di-
vision of the bureau in Colorado,
Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Michigan. New

Texas and Virginia. These surveys
have given detailed information about
1900 rural child laborers under Ii
years Of age. Surveys have also been
made of children in street trades in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania; Column
bus, Ohio; Atlanta, Georgia; and
Omaha, Nebraska. Child labor in
spections were also made in a number
of textile mills in Georgia. These in
spections show a large number Of vio-
lations of the standards Of employ
ment of children laid down in the two
Federal laws declared unconstitutional,
and also number of violations of the
State child labor laws, in spite of the
fact that State standards were con-
siderably lower than the Federal
standards.
The work Of the social service divi-
sion of the bureau included investiga-
ton Of mothers pension laws, Of fos-
ter-home care for dependent children,
and study Of juvenile courts in ten
