For this reason Mrs. Chadsey who is the convener of the Edu- cation group in the University Women's Club of Toronto and who is also a member of the National Board of the YWCA, stated that she had to approach the subject in a general way. The world-wide principle of universal free education which existed today had never happen- ed before in the history of man- kind, although free education for free men did exist but women & and slaves were not included, she said, This principle that everyone was entitled to free education had created several problems, Some of these were that the people, the educational resources, the economic oppor- tunities and the social values were not up to it. The social value which existed today was that the woman's place was in the home.

Secretaries Week is always the last full week in April, be- ginning on a Sunday, ending on a Saturday, with the intervening Wednesday being highlighted as) Secretaries' Day. | The overall theme for Secre- The anti-slavery tilt of the 19th Century, the desire for emanci- tion and the need for women the economic market brought about this change of social atti- tude resulting in the educating of women and the situation of women working outside their homes both on a paid and volun- teer basis. "This isn't new," said Mrs. Chadsey. 'We, in this continent come from a pioneer back- ground where women worke but only inside their homes, but in places like England fifty per cent of the women have always worked outside the home. What is new is that the kinds of jobs open to women today require special education. Women are emerging all over the world and the technological revolution has freed them. "What are the main reasons why women are seeking jobs outside the home? The main reasons are that they need money, mental stimulation or personal fulfilment, education for its own sake or company. To do these jobs, more training and education is needed and herein lies the conflict, Social values prevail in this society which place the woman firmly in the home. Social values lag behind and always do resulting in the greater conflict in Can- ada and the U.S.A. that women should be in the home and they are not, Here, the family unit is the basis of the whole social 'structure. This society as op- posed to that of Russia where women cannot be in the home, skills and an increase of day- care facilities. In conclusion, Mrs. Chadsey gave a few words of warning. Since money is the greatest of all needs, if a woman returned taries Week is 'Better Secretar- ies mean better business', and all program and publicity ma- terial are geared to emphasize the message conveyed by this For registration and further information please call 728-9431 between the hours of 9a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Although this area is) the initial introduction to a) home, too often it is treated casually, with the usual table or chest with a mirror, a few pictures and, perhaps, a plant Often the entranceway just doesn't look as though it be longed to the rest of the house SUPPOSED TO BLEND The foyer should be given thoughtful consideration so that it will blend with the overall decorative plan of the rest of the house or apartment. If your foyer leads directly into the living and dining area, the color plan should be estab- lished in the entrance. This can be accomplished with an im- portant picture, wallpaper or chair upholstery. and an infinite number of de- signs.
