 This appalling loss Of potcnIia, citizens going down 10 the rra,ns or little children can be largely avoided if these children could narn proper care, especially during tiIo 6ummGr.
 social conditions would far more nearly aproach the ideal if mothers of small children were enabled to Fefrain from work outside of their own bones.

This is trn" even though tlIe wages earned by the mother may rr.- 'nlt in higher standard of com. fort in the home itself
 Tine responsibility of the care for children, however, rests not alone upon the mother. although it is rarely indeed that a father takes more than superficial notice of the questions of infant care and feed inE. These are responsibilities, how. ever. which should be shared with the mother as far as possible.
 Every father should have an in innate knowledge Of the environment and care necessary in order that his children may thrive and develop into useful citizens. Of course the ma for burden in the rearing of babies necessarily falls upon the mother. but her task is made much easier when the father does his part in promoting the welfare of his chil- dren.

EURYDICE CLUBS CONCERT.

The Eurydice Club, composed of
about so women of Toledo, Ohio,
under the remarkably fine direction
of their leader, Mrs. Zella B. Sand,
gave concert before an enthusias-
tic audience in the First Congrega-
tional Church yesterday afternoon.
Each of the members of this choral
group is said to be a prominent
soloist, yet, under Mrs. Sand. they
achieve marvellous tone blend and no
one voice dominates in the choral
work. The enunciation is excellent,
the shading of tones is admirable
and the manner in which the club,
as a whole. achieves marked effects
in rhythmic emphasis is splendid. 1t
is one of the finest choral organiZa-
tions that 1t has been the fortune of
Washington music lovers to hear in
some time. Mrs. Sand seems real
