AND PARENTS
NOW LEARNING CLASSICS
By NEA Service

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-Mothers and
fathers of Missouri will not let Their
children get ahead of them.
Modern educational methods are
producing a knowledge Of the class
les in music among the youngsters,
such as the older generations never
had.
To offset this advantage, Mrs. Jo-
seph Rodes of Webster Groves, Mo,
has started a movement to prevent
parents from tagging behind their
children in musical culture. Mrs.
,Rodes is honorary president of the
Missouri Federation of Music Clubs
and in this capacity is organizing
neighborhood music appreciation cir
cles throughout the state.
Like School
The circles are composed of the
parents of the boys and girls who
are being taught in their schools to
understand and appreciate grand
opera and classical music.
The circles meet either monthly
or weekly. Their members become
familiar with all the famous opera
\ selections by NEAR of phonograph
records.
The neighborhood circles exchange
records and a musical circulating Ii
brary thus is kept in operation.
Tests Held, Too
Occasionally there is a circle test
with prizes for the members who
recognize the largest number of Sc
lections.
Nowadays" points out Mrs.
Rodes, the average school boy or
girl can recognize instantly n

NEW YORK. April 19.-Our col
leges for women should add two new
courses to their curriculums-one in
good manners, the other in good
dressing.
So says Ruth ST. Denis, the dane
err.
THE purpose in establi shing a
chair of good dressing would rot be
so that women would give more
thought to clothes. but so they might
give less" she explains.
"At present the woman who knows
her science and languages but who
knows nothing of line, color and de-
sign. is apt TO look like a fright and
create an unfavorable impression.
because she is the victim OF un-
scrupulous garment makers and
s-aiespersons who sell her the wrong
thing. She knows she looks wrong
but she does not know why.
Why Change style?
Changing styles. are utterly ri
diculous. The principles of beauty
remain the same in art and in sculp-
ture, why should they change so in
dress? Merely because the majority
of wornen are AFRAID to take q stand
against arbitrary styles. II they
knew more, they would. Their
clothes would cease to be q prob
lem"
Miss st. Denis has evolved a ,im-
pie type of costume which she wears
in defiance of fashions edict. 1t is
a straightline affair which slips over
the head. with draped sleeves and Il
wide sash, but guiltless of hooks or
clasps, She introduces color in the
sash, in the turban she inevitably
wears and in her necklaces and or
naments. She can vary it in many
ways.

KEEP FIT BY HOUSEWORK
SAYS KATHRYN STERLING
lRv servieel

MUSKOGEE, Okla, April 20:-
The housewife who goes out of her
home for exercise TO reduce, build
up or keep fit, is overlooking the
possibilities of her own work.
For there are wonderful opportu-
mites for physical development right
in the daily chores of the home. says
Miss Kathryn Sterling, physical Gull
ture supervisor in the city schools Of
Muskogee.
MANY women" says Miss Sterling,
feel they cannot spare time for pre-
scribed exercises. but they can get
just the results they want at home
by systematizing their work and con-
c~entrating on their muscles.
There's sweeping. for instance.
Nothing could be better for the back
and arms. 1t brings into play all
the muscles of the shoulders if you
move the broom, or sweeper, proper
ly. This is where concentration
comes in. Keep your mind on your
muscles and let the sweeping take
care of itself.
Rhythm in Work
Making beds causes one to do a
good deal of bending. Why not bend
up and down rhythmically and re-
member that 1t is because you want
to reduce the abdomen that you are
making up beds?
Going up and down stairs a doz-
en- times a day is the very thing to
acquire shapely legs. Don't bend
over nor run to over-tax the heart,
but hold yourself as erect as possible
and keep a steady elastic gait.
For the development or reduction
of the arms there is washing. Put
your mind on that double chin or
that COB of fat on the back of your
neck and you will be surprised at the
results of faithful concentration and
a few simple exercises"
Here are more rules for the house
wife. from Miss Sterling:
Don't overwork until you are sc
tired that you feel more like crying
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-04-20

is so foolish to feel that manners
grace, ease and charm cannot rs
taught. They have to be. They arr
as capable of cultivation as art u
music. Whenever you see a beauti
fully behaved child you can depeps
upon it that you are seeing a trainef

The dance. Miss st. Denis believes
is the greatest agent for reform
both in dress and manners.
"A girl who has studied elassicT
dancing will never encase her bod
in a tight corset. Nor VIII she hayf
a taste for clothes that do not give
her freedom. grace and comfort
She is bound to be easy in her man
ners because she is relaxed.
"1t is the high-strung, nervoGi
people who are most apt to be rude
and irritable. They lack mental nn6

and the jazz age are passing and thai
we are faced toward moderation and
Conservatism.

this office will bring a personal

Hot Water and Commissions
Commissions are more prevalent in
summer than winter. for the very
good reason that the mothers are
liable to allow too many different
kinds of food in the summer, and
the relation of strange food and hot
weather to digestive disturbances,

ripe fruit, who stuffs with highly
favored, rich ice cream connections
and cookies may next day or that
night be the victim of spasms. No
matter how trivial the cause.
spasms are always dangerous and
to be avoided, as II attack leads
more easily to another. The child
who becomes habitel to spasms may
have one at every rise OF tempera-
ture above a certain point, no mat
ter what the cause.
A hot water bath. mustard in the
