MOthercraft is Move
of the Right Kind

Mrs. May Dickinson Kimball, OF
Boston, is the founder of new move
ment known as Mothercraft.
The ideals and purposes of mother
craft as an educational movement will
become known throughout the United
States if Mrs. Kimball can secure the
cooperation of agencies that ought to
be most vitally and sincerely inter
ested
AS the name indicates, mothercraft
is a recognition of the Importance and
vitality of preparation for mother
hood and of equipment for the duties
that attend motherhood. For more
than Is years Mrs. Kimball has de
voted her time to study of child
welfare problems and is convinced
that training for maternity should be
consistent, thorough and intelligent.
Says Mrs. Kimball recently to
newspaper men: "While mothercraft
has a definite and precise technique
of instruction, the underlying motive
is to fill the souls of school and col
lege girls with a conviction of the
beauty and sanctity Of the home and
this instruction of the future moth
ers educates them home life. The
child Of the next generation is assur-
ed Of mother love which is guided by
trained intelligence and scientifically
right principles"

term Of court by working with one
Traverse Jury instead of two. and
with fewer men on the Grand Jury.
This came about by so many asking
to be excused on the former Jury,
that 1t left but one full jury and
four supernumaries. 1t would have
been necessary to have summoned
eight others to make up two juries
and as the term gave promise Of
being short one it was decided to
work with one. This was done very
successfully as there were but three
civil and three criminal cases. There
were 16 men on the Grand fury.

General Grant porch, we entered a
hall (if one may dignity it with the
name) about four feet square.
Straight ahead. between the walls, the
staircase climbed steeply up like a
chicken-ladder. AT the right was the
living-room, quite a pleasant room,
about IL feet by Is feet. Back of
it was the kitchen, a room II by 10,
containing two doors and two win

a monstrous old coal stove. On the

the same size as the dining-room, and
