Sweitzer, will head the program at the only open mass meeting to be held by the convening delegates, with the ex- ception of the joint session with the conference of supervisors and teachers of home economics, in which they will participate on Monday evening, July 1. James Ford of Harvard University is the other speaker whose recent acceptance of an invitation to appear on the A. E. A. program will add interest to the gathering. Dr. Ford will speak Tuesday ternoon on “Housing in Relation to Family Life.” Mr. Sweitzer, who is managing direc- tor of the National Retail Dry Goods Association, will speak before the open meeting Tuesday evening, July 2, on “The Consumer and the Present Mar- ket." His talk will be from the angle of the market owner, based upon ob- servations made by him and his asso- clation, and will follow an equally in- teresting discussion of the subject from the angle of the buyer, presented by Dr. Faith Williams, economist, in the American Economics Association, who will reveal the “Problems of the Home- maker as a Buyer.” Further discussion of the present market from the standpoint of buyers will be held on Thursday afternoon, July 4, at the meeting of the home- makers’ section, when Dr. Louise Stan- ley, head of the United States Bureau of Home Economics, gives a report on the results of her research in refrigera- tion, and Miss Mildred Weigley Wood of Phoenix, Ariz., gives a comparison of costs of food in service and non-serv- ice stores. Marketing problems are but one of the several economic issues to be brought before the meeting, however. ‘The program includes discussions of the responsibilities of the housewife as the largest purchasing unit in the pres- ent economic system, the growing de- mand of homemakers for the adoption of engineering principles of standard- ization and simplification by producers of household equipment and reports on the recent progress in research in the flelds of nutrition, child welfare and scientific home management. The announcement of the completed | eonvention program from headquarters | of the association here in Washington states that Government experts, teach- ers and research workers in home economics problems and educational experts co-operating with the associa- tion will deliver a series of addresses dealing with the general phases of home management in its relation to national welfare and public health, as well as the more specific problems in- volved in the feeding and training of children, modern house furnishing, choice of clothing and textiles, and the adoption of labor-saving devices in the home. According to officers of the associa- tion, emphasis will be placed on the discussion of plans for enlarging the national campaign for establishment of generally accepted and understood standards in all commodities entering into the fleld of household management, to protect the homemaker from much bewildering and high-powered com- mercial advertising aimed at the family pocketbook in current periodicals and hewspapers, and the establishment of closer relations between producer and consumer. In its recent efforts to create a public demand for standard- ization of household commodities, the association has worked in co-operation with the Department of Commerce and has sent representatives to many of the conferences called by the Bureau of Standards, It has taken an active part in the movement for establish- ment of standard specifications for bedsheets, blankets and refrigerators, upon which a report will be made at the convertion. Reports will also be made covering the program for stand- ardization in production of other articles of home equipment in which the asso- clation has engaged as a member of the American Standards Association. At the opening session of the Boston eonvention on July 1, which will be the Joint meeting with delegates to the fourth national conference of super- visors and teachers of home economics, called by Willlam T. Cooper, United States Commissioner of Education, the general topic of application of funda- mental philosophies of present-day edu- cation to the organization of the American home will he considered in a forum discussion led by Prof. James E. Russell, dean emeritus of Teachers’ Col- lege, Columbia University. Margaret M. Justin, president of the American Home Economics Association, and Dr. John W. Withers, dean of the School of Education, New York University, will speak on ‘“Progressive Movements in Education. Research in problem of food and nutrition, textiles and clothing, plan- ning, equipment and general manage- ment of the home, and the relation of family welfare to the public health will be discussed at the group session on July 2, at which the leaders will be Miss Margaret Chaney of the depart- ment of food and nutrition, and Miss Esther Bruner of the clothing and textiles department, Kansas State Agri- cultural College; Miss Marion Butters, | assistant State_director of agricultural | extension for New Jersey; Miss Ellen Hillstrom, speclalist in related art, University of Wisconsin, and Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse, director of the recently organized Institute of Women's Professional Relations at the North Carolina College for Women. Two out- standing features of the closed sessions on July 2 will be a group conference on textiles and clothing, at which a re- DANDRUFF |port will be made by N addition to the comprehensive | Miss Winifred Forbes of Pennsylvania State College, the holder of an association fellowship, on the determination of acceptable standards for the weighing of silk goods, and a session of furnishing, equipment and care of the house, at w“flch ‘Walter S. Siple of Harvard University, will speak on ‘“Modernism in the Average American Home,” and such specific problems as house clean- ing and mechanical aids will be dis- cussed by experts. At this session also a report on research work connected with sleep will be made by H. M. John- son of the Mellon Institute. The con- sumer’s relations to the problems of the manufacturers and dealers of household commodities will be the general topic of the public meeting on Tuesday eve- ning, July 2, as has been stated. Practical, everyday problems of the homemaker will be taken up in forum discussions and addresses will be made by experts in the professional depart- ment meetings, scheduled for July 3. Donald A. Laird of Colgate University, will talk on “The Psychology of Noise in Home Planning” before the Home- makers Department, which will also hear Miss Hildegarde Kneeland of the United. States Bureau of Home Eco- nomics talk on “Is the Housewife a Lady of Leisure?” Under the direction of Miss Mary Sweeny of the Merrill- Palmer School, Detroit, the department of child development and parental edu- cation will discuss the development of nursery schools, pre-school education in the home and teaching of chiid care in public schools and colleges. A special four-year study in training for child care is being carried on by the association and has the co-operation of 30 colleges now having nursery schools where home economics students receive training in child care. Several of the group programs center on work in nutrition and textiles, which has been stressed in the recent asso- ciation program. Progress in dental dietetics will be outlined by Dr. Percy 8. Howe of the Forsyth Dental In- firmary for Children. Dr. Ruth Wheeler of Vassar College will report the re- sult of a speclal study on “The Rela- tion of Physical Measurements of Col- lege Students to the State of Their Nutrition.” Miss Ruth O'Brien, textile expert of the United States Bureau of Home Economics, will speak on “New Developments in Designing Children's Clothing,” and Miss Susan Bates of the Cotton Textile Institute will deliver a talk on “The Proper Balance of Style and Technique in Women's Dress.” Other experts who will speak at ses- sions of the convention are Dr. Louis Stanley, chief of the United States Bu- reau of Home Economics; Miss Hazel Munsell, nutrition expert of the bureau; Miss Flora Rose, New York State Col- lege of Home Economics, Cornell Uni- versity, and Warren Emly of the United States Bureau of Standards. A number of educational trips and social events in and around Boston have been arranged for the delegates supple- menting the business sessions at the Statler Hotel. Delegates will be taken on tours of the various centers of home economics research and social work in Boston, including the Home Informa- tion Center, the Women’s Eduactional and Industrial Union, the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, the Car- negie Nutrition Laboratory, the Boston Dispensary Food Clinic-and the South Boston Health Unit, Mrs. Gladys Beck- ett Jones, chairman of local arrange- ments, has also announced a number of teas arranged in honor of the dele- gates to be given by the Garland School of Homemaking, the Priscilla Proving Plant, the American Homemakers, the Edison Electric Co., the New England Telephone & Telegraph Co. and Sim- mons College. During the Summer lull and while the thoughts of evety one, including the clubwomen of the Nation, turn to the out-of-doors, with dreams of the restful atmosphere of some ru Tetreat tempting most of us in the cities to ut aside our work-a-day thoughts and le us to a green hill far away, interest in the problems of the farm woman and in the possibility of linking her more definitely with the club_life of the country is doubly keen. It is in the Summer time that the rural and urban women are drawn more closely together and each catches a glimpse of the problems, duties and pleasures which go to make up the life of the other. This is a most propitious time for the announcement of the task which Mrs. Phoebe K. Warner of Claude, Tex., the newly appointed chairman of rural co-operation of the General Fed- eration of Women's Clubs, has set for heér department as its major project. Mrs. Warner plans to bring into the General Pederation of Women's Clubs ns large a percentage as possible of the six millions of farm women scat- tered through the country. “Farm relief is the most vital ques- tion In our Nation today,” says Mrs. ‘Warner. “More human interests de- pend on the prosperity of our farmers than any other class of citizens. The knowledge gained and power set in mo- tion through the organization of 6,000,000 farm women would do more to bring about economic justice and rural prosperity than all the Legis- latures can ever do. A better under- standing between the women of our Nation and their interdependence will eventually seep into the minds of our men and help solve those conditions that are now transforming our Nation from a true democracy to a land of millionaires and paupers, idle rich and unemployed poor, great universities for a few and little one-room schools for millions of farm children, paved high- ways for the tourists while the farmers still wade the mud hub deep to get their crops to market, “So long as there are 175,000 one- room schools in rich America, that is. in itself a challenge to the organized womanhood of the land as represented by the General Federation to draw within their organization the wives and mothers in the 6,000,000 farm homes. Organization is the key that has un- locked and set free the latent talent of our more than 2,000,000 federation women. It is organization that has caused our cities to outgrow our coun- try. The country must be organized for self-protection and self-preserva- tion. Where there is no vision the people perish. “In Lancaster County we have the farm women units and they are making progress, but it seems to us that they do not rub elbows often enough with the great mass of women club members, and for that reason the farm women do not understand the urban viewpoint, where women's clubs flourish, and certainly the urban women do not understand the rural viewpoint, which we conceive the greatest drawback in an effort to get economic justice for the farmers and, therefore, economic justice for so many farm women, who are still pumping wa- ter, washing clothes and doing other farm work as their grandmothers did. “It may be taken for granted that the blase urban women club members will find their farm sisters not quite so deeply concerned with matters of fash- ion and social intercourse, but few times and places of intermingling and the urban women will find that the farm women pre very rapidly in dress and social eclat, and once they are interested they will be the best pos- sible members, for they are used to hard work and 1 carry that forte with them to club work.” * x % % Mrs. John W.

Miss Jen is founder and president of the Girls' Technical Academy, at Canton, which offers ex- tensive vocational training. “While the law of the Chinese Re- public provides for sex equality, the old inequalities still exist and will continue to exist until the women are capable of earning their own living,” Miss Jen said. Although the younger women of complete equality with men. The so-called protective laws for women in industry in Italy*are contra- dictory to those in the United States, according to Dr. Maria Castellani of Italy, who spoke at a tea at the head- quarters of the National Woman's Party Tuesday afternoon. A recent Italian law makes it illegal for a woman to be dismissed from a job on account of marriage or maternity, while in cer- tain_occupations in the United States the law makes her dismissal necessary Dr. Castellani_also reports that men and women in Ttaly receive equal pay for equal work. “In our universities and schools there are no discrimina- tions on account of sex,” Dr. Castel- lani said.
