SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1922 MOTHER AND DAUGHTER IN THE KITCHEN Mrs. Herbert Hoover, head of the Girl Scout organization, urges the home training of the girls of the nation in domestic affairs by their mothers in their own home kitchen and sewing room. It would be a harking back to the days when the housewife was proud of her ability to bake and brew, when there was little or no "help" in the kitchen, when every when she should preside over the girl looked forward to the time activities of her own culinary de- partment, and Mother was the best teacher to whom she could turn. Times have changed since mother was a girl and the maid- ens of today learn their household science trom trained teachers in the schools, learn of food values and food properties, how to per- form all the processes that enter into the keeping of the house and the making of garments, without, always, however, taking in any of the significance of the work that she is taught to do, nor their relation to the making of the home. ~~ The old plan of learning from Mother to do things in the way that she had learned from her Mother, and she from hers, had its advantages and its disadvan- tages. There was little of science and much of skill and experience in such teaching, but there was learned at the same time the satis- faction that comes from making the home serve the real needs of the family, a lesson that is not learned in the most up to date laboratory in the land nor taught by the most erudite teacher of the science of food and so-called domestic art. We cannot dis- pense with the science, but we would be a fortunate people, in- deed, were there to be a reawaken- ing of the old custom of the home training of girls in the doing of the tasks that enter into the mak- ing of the home. AA It is a mistake for publicity to be given women who serve upon juries and prevent agreement up- on a verdict by insistence upon maintaining their conviction, ar- rived at, presumably, by consid- eration of the evidence given at the trial. A love of seeing one's name in print is a too general fail- ing to make it advisable to ex- tend to women, or to men, either, the easy opportunity which "hang- ing" a jury affords. In sensation- al trials marked by lurid testi- mony such as has been charac- teristic of the two which have recently filled the attention of the public in California, it is particu- larly undesirable that comment should be made upon the person- nel of the jury, discussion of the number of men and women, spec- ulation as to the probability of | the women holding out for acquit- tal without reference to the char- acter of the evidence given. Too many people are unable to resist the temptation to secure a front- page notice, too many ready to put the state to the expense of a re-trial, too many delight over much in reading the columns of evidence recorded in the press to warrant any unnecessary obstacle to the prompt reaching of a ver- dict. It is quite possible, of course, that there may be con- viction behind the woman who persists in her position as to the question of guilt or innocence. But silence upon the matter of who is responsible for the long deliberation of the jury would leave only firm conviction of the rightness of one's opinion as a reason for holding to it. --_---------------- GET ALL THE FACTS Five million questionnaires will be used by the American Legion in its service and compensation drive, to be undertaken by states.
