One line of school instructidh has been definitely designed to contribute to the preparation for worthy homeé mem: bership. In this subject 500,000 young high school girls are today receiving some training and 1,000,000 other younger girls are being taught some skills of the household. The prevention of sickness by” Banitary practices and wholesome foods, the eco- nomical use of time and materials with- in the home, the making of articles of use and of beauty—these are the lines of instruction in home economrics. Better conditions for teaching home economics are need. How can #irls be given a love for home making and of home life if the rooms in which these are taught are in basements ,and near to furnaces store rooms, etc.?

Underwood One day last winter my six-year-old boy ran to me and said, “Come out and i” In surprise I took his hand and walk- ed beside him through the garden to a leafless wintry rosebush #& which he pointed triumphantly. “But wmere is the mesi?” 1 asked. “Right there,” he insisted indicating a bleak branch with not so much as a straw on it “But there is no nest,” I insisted. Then he withdrew his hand and look- ed up into my face with utmost scorn. “Can’t you make-believe anything?” he said. ‘What was my response? What should have been my response do you think? Well, I believe the words-that rushed to my lips were the right and true words, I said, “Why, darling, I beg your par- don for being so stupid! Of course I can make-believe and I'll never be s0 dull again” The next week, however, there occur- red in my household a very different kind of falsehood. A little girl of whom I had temporary charge had found a purse with a good deal of money in it. We had talked about this among our neigh- bors and in the echild’s presence until she felt very proud of herself. Ome day she came to me with a dollar bill in her hand. “I certainly will make you rich some- time,” she exclaimed quoting a remark which we had frequnently made among ouresives. “Here is a dollar I found under a rock.” I can not tell just why I did not be- lleve her, but after accepting the dol-| lar bill of which she made me a pres- ent I went to my purse. It had been taken out of that. I called Her in from her play and very quietly told her I felt sure she had taken the dollag bill from me and asked her why she had done 0.
