Domestic Science,
Manual Training
Subjects Defended

A regular meeting of the Mothers
Social club was held yesterday aft
ernoon at the home of Mrs. w. f.
Perry, 523 Second street. The usual
program was carried out, which con-
sisted of q very we'll written paper
on Noted Americans" by Mrs. Ray
Bergeson and splendid reading Civ
en- by Mrs. Perry which showed the
little personal touches and intimacies
in the life Of the Great Emancipator,
Lincoln.
The subject Of reducing the taxes
through the medium Of the schools
was then discussed by the club and
committee of three, Mrs. c. o. Rob
inson, Mrs. A. P. LenhArt and Mrs.
d. T. Owens was appointed to coop
crate with other womens organiza-
tions in the locality and state TO as
certain if means cannot be taken
to reduce taxation through other
channels as we'll as schools, thereby
releasing pressure of the taxation to
some extent.
Taxation is a matter of wide COM
ment and great concern to the MEM
bers of this organization, and they
feel that it is a grave mistake that
the first definite and statewide or
ganized effort at the vitality needed
reform in tax reduction should be
directed toward the schools. The
lowering of teachers salaries would
ultimately bring into our state, a
n1o nf <no nf
tone and poorer training, and would
be more detrimental than anyone
other activity to the children's future
good and would give the state Il
low standing in. the eyes of those
who may be considering emigrating
here, according to speakers before
the club. ~
1t is also desired, by. the, Mothers
Social club to contlne the, reduction
as much as possible to the elimina-
tion of the elective subjects and non
essentials. Many girls receive no
training in the intelligent manage
ment of the home, except through
the Domestic Science department of
the High School, speakers said, and
the Mothers club feels that only by
the institution of these departments
have the most important branch of
household care come from low
grade of work to something which is
hoped may sometime be regarded as
profession.
The Manual Training department,
will at least, enable boy to take up
some form of work, after leaving
school and to give intelligent super
vision if not actual assistance in
building his own home. speakers ar
gued. #.
Before these departments are elm
mated, the club feels that some at
tention should be given to reducing
the secret rolling and .unrolling Of
red tape, which costs the state vast
sums in extra taxes, speakers as
serted.

Negro Dialects
From Good English

Stanford University. CAL, Feb. p.
Negro syhtax and pronunciation
has no other origin than English.
said G. P. Knapp, professor of Eng
lish at Columbia University, in q
recent lecture here.
There remains no trace Of any
alien speech which the negroes might
have had at first, Professor Knapp
pointed out. He added that the
words "voodoo' and "hoodoo" might
possibly be of African origin, but
that "mosey,' Jazz and tote and
many other slang expressions spread
by the American negro were ancient
English derivatives.
