For several years Mrs. Frederick has been preaching efficient home- making with her pen and practising it at Applecroft in Greenlawn, L. I, where she keeps house for her husband and two little children. The Apple- croft efficiency kitchen really works, and if anything that is tried there doesn’t work it disappears ‘at once. In her investigation of the problems of homemaking Mrs. Frederick has had tho opportunity to study many householdsé at first band, and she agrees with Mr. Perkins that an un- fortunately large number of American girls have not been trajned, are not Deing trained; in the proper manage- ment of a household.

Perkins, As Chairman of the Mayor’s Committee on Food Supply Mr. Perkins has been engaged for several months fn tracing to its lair the Wolf-at-the-Door. He has found that the Wolf, like so many other horrific monsters, is eheltered by dgnor- ance, that a large number of New York housewives, both rich and poor, actually do not know how to pur- chase and prepare food The result is waste and ex- travagance, which injure not merely the individual trained domestically?” I asked. “Is it per. ult or the fault of those around or’ “In many instances the girl is not ‘0 blame,” replied Mrs. Frederick. ‘To 'be sure, we have a certain type of girl in New York whose mind is set on the latest thing in corkscrew curls or lip-rouge, and who would scorn- fully refuse to acquire any domestic &ccomplishments even if the chance were offered her. But I don’t believe any large proportion of American girla must be placed in this category. “Often the mothers who are the best house! who are the p the mothers principle of time it would take me to show you.’ I can remeber my own mother saying that to me, rs.

Mrs, Wagner registered, as tech- nical proof of her readiness to re- sume her duties, and went home. 8! was notified of her ssupension Fri- day and knew she would not be al- lowed to teach. When Mys. Wagner askedleave to remain at home until her baby was born it was refused by the schovl authorities. She con- tinued teaching until the day of the night the baby came, Miss Rodman, who ts married but does not use the name of her -hus- band, Mr. Defrem, was notitied of her suspension Suturday, She made no fuss at the schoul when told that she was superseded, temporarily at any rate, by @ substitute, but started at once for the City Hall to see Mayor Mitchel about her cage. She said she had not yet been served with a copy of the charges on which she is to be tried by the Committee on High Schools. She expects to go before thé committee to-morrow to have a date fixed for the trial. ‘When Miss Rodman and her friends reached the Mayor's office they were announced as a d«'ogation from the Feminist Alliance.

Norris, Mrs. Sarah Breslow, whose case is now before Dr. Finley, State Superin- tendent of Schools, said: “Let us look at this question, stripped of the sentimentality which has attached to it, and consider the legal status of the mother-teacher, There Is no by-law of the Board of Education which pre- vents married women from teaching, and it is the public policy that our women citizens marry and produce offspring; therefore, the attitude of the Boord of Educaton, reduced to terms, is: ‘We can't discharge you if jarry and remain sterile, but we nd will if you attempt to exer- cise the highest social duty known to the race." “This, I submit, is a despotic use of its powers.” Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman said: “Biologists agree that celibacy ts a wrong condition. The work for which women are fitted is the care of chil- dren and their education. In other words, education and motherhood are synonymous.” It was the impression of many per- sons, Mra.
