Along Tls|» Lin* of Today With Those of Year* Ago. Domestic science is divided into two branches, household scienpe and house­ hold art Household science has to do with the study of the home aad of foods Wad their preparation. Household art- deals with the study of the economical, appropriate And artistic furnishing the home, and also the study of cloth­ ing, its purpose, color and material. Many years ago the home was the center of a varied industrial life. First, it was uisrsij a place of safety auu pro­ tection; later, it became the place for rearing and educating the children. In time all the industries necessary in pre­ paring food and clothing for the family were carried on ander the home roof. During the past years, on account of factories, co-operative kitchens, steam laundries, public vacuum cleaners, etc., little was left to do iu the home, and it seems as tho the remaining duties would be more carefully done, but the home has failed to adjust itself to the changed economic conditions and the duties of the home have not been clearly defined. Years ago every girl learned how to make textiles and garments in compan­ ionship with her mother and acquired the sense of responsibility that made her a good home-maker as well as a good woman. She knew the properties and uses of fibres and, in this way, she was taught to judge goods and tefl of what they were made. When machinery was introduced this industry ceased to be one of the home, for materials were made much cheaper by machinery than by hand. So girls lost the opportunity of getting this edu­ cation at home, As the homo duties djminished women found it necessary to go outside the home for employment and support. They flocked to the factories and grad­ ually the young girls became interested and home influences were lost to them and were thought to be of little impor. tance. In time, women began to think of housekeeping with distaste and it finally became all but a lost art. The question arises, 'What Is Wom­ an's Calling?" Home making? Yes, bnt her sphere must not be limited to this, for she has, often times, in many ways, shown herself equal to man and sometimes excels him. But, whatever her calling, sometime during her life she feels it her duty to make a home for herself and those dependent upon her. E?ery girl, sooner or later, will have to be able to adjust the standard of liv­ ing to weekly income and where is she to learn it? The question of intelligent buying is more serious when we consid­ er that it is the women who are the great consumers. They are the ones who buy supplies for the home and clothing for the family. Many of the textiles turned out of the factories today contain frauds and they are concealed so perfectly that even an expert is deceived. The ignorance of almost every purchaser of textile has "been the means of making the fortunes of tbe scheming manufacturers. The increase in the cost of living is one of the greatest questions of today; every paper and magazine has an article concerning it. It is seen everywhere that wages and salaries do not rise as rapidly as tbe prices of commodities. One writer says, "Prices go up the ele­ vator, wages climb the stairs." The real cause of this increase in the cost of living is not yet known, bnt there are many different opinions. One opinion is that it is due to wastefnl methods, and tbe first step in decreasing it is to teach household economy as an essential part of all education. Tbe home of this generation has as­ sumed wider interest and demands deeper study than ever before, because of the advance in sciences and the change in economic conditions. The people of today will not allow tbe house­ hold duties to be put into unskilled hands, for they know by certain chem­ ical changes that foods are made of little value and often real harm to the body. We will no longer expose our bodies to the various diseases, the germs of which are found in the dirt and dust. Laws may be passed, organizations may be formed and societies may give their united action, all to improve the public health and social life, but this will all be done in vain unless the individual homes of the country are studied, and unless the housekeepers Of the present and future are educated better in the sciences and art of housiekeeping and home-making. In speaking of the various duties in­ cluded in the study of domestic science, I think cooking is the most important. We all know that it is the food we eat that supplies our bodies with the ma terial by which they are built up and kept in repair, therefore we see thajb we should tboroly understand the prepar­ ing of foods for the table, We shonld also know which foods are the most nutritious and which are injurious to the body, and, after knowing their value, we should know the best methods of preparing them. In order to have healthful, wholesome cooking we must understand the laws of chemistry and physiology. Next to cooking is housekeeping.

AH vegetable A* your doctor ftamt ihMb Every woman and girl should be able to keep her own home clean and tidy, espe cially the kitchen, where the food is prepared for the table. Often times kitchens are found to be unciean, as in many restaurants. If we could see where and bow the food there is pre pared, I think most of us would stay away. Every house-wife should be able to select artistic articles qt dress, fur­ niture and other decoratibqs for tbe home, always considering the tij^e and money needed to do it in the mosfttfgo- nomical way. Sewing is very important in the home and is introduced in many of our schools in courses. First, the study of textiles is given; then drawing, designing, cutting and fitting are taught thoroly until the student has a perfect knowledge of sew­ ing. This is of great help in a home and certainly saves a great deal of ex­ pense. We know that the study of household science and household art is necessary in the education of every girl and boy, but where should it be taught, in the school or in the home? I think most will agree that the school is the place for it, for thru great study it has made itself able to accomplish more than can be accomplished in the individual home. Just compare our finely equipped schools with many of our homes. In the former are all the conveniences possible; in the latter the kitchens are often found dark, inconvenient and poorly equipped. If domestio science is to be taught in the school, in what grade should it be introduced to secure the best results? A little of the work can be accomplished in the lower grades with other studies, but the time generally adopted is to be- gin the special work in the fifth grade, for pupils have a desire to be of help in the home. As the pupils at this age have little interest in the composition of food, it is often delayed until the eighth grade, for girls often have re­ sponsibilities fall upon them at home and this course serves as direct value both to the home and the community. In many schools, ours for instance, the girls begin to drop out before they enter the high school. If domestic science conld be introduced in the eighth or ninth grades perhaps it would serve as an inducement for them to remain in school. It is the opinion of some that the ideal time for the presentation of this subject is in tbe higher schools of education, for there the sciences are more or less exclusively studied and the students are more interested and there seems to be a deeper profit. Now the question rises, "Who is to teach it?" Some think it best to puti$ in tbe hands of the grade teacher for Bhe understands her pupils better and they are accustomed to her methods. Others say that much more would be accomplished if a special teacher were hired to come once or twice a week to instruct the pupils. I agree with the latter, for I think the grade teacher of today is already overburdened and that a special teacher would have more time and accomplish much more than tbe grade teacher, whose time is taken up with many other subjects. Also, if tbe grade teacher should assume this re­ sponsibility Bhe would have to be called from her room and the rest of the pupils and an assistant would have to be called in to maintain order and hear the re­ maining lessons. Whatever method is adopted for bringing about the desired change, it is beginning to be universally felt that just as boys must study tbe forces of nature, the laws of the government and the general economic conditions, every girl should have special instruction in the duties pertaining clearly to the home. This is why domestic science is introduced in so many of our schools to­ day. A Every woman should be familiar with the laws of domestic science, and a woman's ignorance of household matters should be regarded in just as grave a light as the ignorance of a man enter­ ing 011 a business career who has not the knowledge of the simplest laws of the business world. Life is a sacred thing and the home which guards that life is worthy of the very deepest study. rien wanted at Terra Cotto lac* tory.
