BEAUTIFUL KENT

How sweet are the meadows,
o Beautiful Kent
Where nature is smiling
And man is content.
The wheat-fields that billOw
And break like the sea,
The note of the mocking-bird
Calling to me;
The drone of the bees
And the wealth of perfume
That floats where the hedges
Run riot with bloom.
The old fashioned gardens
That roses adorn;
The darkies all singing
At work in the corn
These, these are the blessings
That heaven hath sent
Thy sons and thy daughters,
o beautiful Kent.
How pleasant to ramble
When early at morn
The dew is a-glfsten
On blossom and thorn;
To traverse the path
At the close of the day
And pluck the wild roses
That grow by the way.
The blossoms that whiten

Business conditions now are keeping
the American mother at home, and her
children away from TIE day nurseries.
according to the Children's Bureau of
the Labor Department.
TIE Bureau said jobs for mothers IN
business houses and factories have de-
creased materially since 1929, and this
has resulted during the last five months
in a 13 per cent decrease in the num-
ber of children cared for in nurseries
in all parts of the United States.
The survey is based on figures sub
mitted to the Bureau by lob agencies in
26 metropolitan areas.
With fewer mothers employed. there
is less need for dependence on day
nurseries to insure proper care OF chill
dren during the working day, 1t was
explained. Also, when the mother is
still employed, there is usually some
relative or friend minus a job who is
glad to look out for the children at
home free Of charge, or for a nominal
fee.

not bear to be with them for
any length Of time. It hurt
so intolerably to witness the
companionship from which she
was barred; to realize how
futile she was, how Intellectual.
A real woman, she told herself
a thousand times, would assert
herself, demand her rights in
the child.
When the door had closed
behind her mother, Joyce
turned to Louisa and resumed
the attack.

She liked arguing with her
grandmother. They rarely
agreed but-well, there it was.
Her grandmother always had
time for her, always an ex-
PLANTATION, a contradiction or
an answer. Never, in all her
little life had Joyce taken a
problem to her mother. AS
quick as all intelligent children

knew quite we'll how unimpor-
tant her mother was in the

She and grandmother had

Joyce was charming with her

never naughty with her mother,
never answered back: treated
her with a childish chivalry.
