By Nixola Greeley-Smith. STERDAY the clergy of New York preached from many pul- pita in celebration of Mothers’ Day. But in all the fine tributes that were paid to mothers, nothing was said about mobilizing the mother power of ths country for construcvve ser. vice. And in af the feverish headquar- ‘, ters where women are inscribing their y- names for farm = * work, driving am- SESE bulance or teach- ing aviation there has not seemed to be anything for the woman to offer who has to stay at home and take care of her household and her family but who would like, nevertheless, to count patriotically, Yet the experience of the mothers of the country is the most valuable that could be placed at the service of the Government in the campaign for food conservation. The mother of foreign birth, because of habits of thrift which she brought with her to this country, has a great many things to teach the American housewife. But gho foreizn mother stays very close to ner wu nome, Her friends very gen- erally are women of her own race. The problem is, therefore, to bring the American mother and the Italian or French or Slavic mother into con- tact. HE Saunders Trade School in Yon- kers believes it has solved this problem in a way which the State Department of Education hopes will be adopted by all the schools in Greater New York as well as in other cities, Mrs. Anna Hedges Talbot of the staff of the University of the State of New York told me yesterday. “The girls of the Saunders Trade School learn normally sewing, cook- ing. housekeeping and the care ot children,” Mra, Talbot sald. “When It was proposed to keep the school open all summer and to make. it a head- Mobilizing Mother Power For Conservation of Food War-Time Task quarters where foreign and American mothers could meet and put up vego- tables and fruits with the latest cook- their young children while they are away cooking, preserving or sewing for the Red Cross?” “YONKERS has found tho answer by turning the old Y.M.C.A, Bulld- ing into a day nursery, where mothers may leave their children under vhe care of a trained nurse, assisted by the girl pupils of the school, who for tho first time will get the chance to learn all about child-care with real live models, ‘The Saunders School itself is now thoroughly organized as a Red Cross workshop or factory, The boys do the cutting, the girls the sewing, and they are turning out incredible quantities of garments every week for the Red Cross, “A “Mothers may volunteer to’sew for the Red Cro#s jn the school, but what Mr, Eaton, the Principal, and Mrs. Featherston, who has charge of the work, want most 1s to bring foreign mothers in contact with American women at the school house @o our very extravagant housewives, con- fronted to-day by the absolute neces- sity of economizing in food, may learn how to do it. “;TALIAN women are particularly skilled in methods of fruit drying without the ald of modern appliances and they have a splendid way of 4 ing tomatoes into a sort of pas which they stir into spaghett! or macaront or rice, making a delictéus dish, You see, the necessity for econ- omiging tin and giass ware makes it essential for all housewives to study |] methods of frult evaporation, “The mobilization of mother-power, | |} which is being attempted at Yonkers, should spread through all thi hools of the State,” Mra, Talbot added. | "In the splendid Americanizati move. ment it is not always remembered that the foreign women among us have as much to give us a8 wo have to give them, The achools should be kept open all summer,” Mra, Talbot concluded, “and L believe that if they remain open all of one year they could never again be closed for three months. I believe schools should be open all the year round in peace as well as war time, The public's time for education is #0 short and the necessity for going to work at an early age so universal that I do not believe it is fair to children to close the schools during the summer, Two staffs of teachers could alternate with each other for regular terms of nine months each, “Whether this happens or not, I think every public school should fol- low the example of Yonkers and make itself a centre for utilizing the mother-power of the country.” Sale of Cloth Coats as high a 5 Now $12.50 LION 307 FIFTH AVE se NY pics. nnets!
