May 15th. , An interesting feature of the program | was a practical demonstration in bed- , making and methods of handling the , sick in bed. given by Miss Xander, of , Court House, a trained nurse of broad ( experience, a volunteer serving as the , patient. This was followed by a brief | but eloquent talk upou the importance , and high character of the profession , of nursing. The speaker of the day, Mrs. .1. Graf- | ton Rieber, one of the Board of Mans- ( gers of the New Jersey Mothers' Oon- , gress was then introduced and delivered the following address upon "The Home." The Home , "A few years ago it might have been , impossible to have gathered just such a , group of people for just such a purpose as this. If a meeting could have been t brought about it might have been a few r men not much interested and after hav- j ing the subject explained would have ar- f rived at the conclusion that any action might encroach upon the women's af- ( fairs and they would immediately pro- t ceed to adjourn and forget. I But all men and women have heard c of the tittle boy who said "Daddy, what is t a stag party T" And daddy replied, "My • sen. it is a gathering of men, Or a meet- , iag or party composed of men only," and t the little chap replied, "Then, daddy, j t this nation is a stag-nation, isnt it?" „ Mea and women alike are awake to j f the fact that both must put their 1 1 shoulders to the wheel, work together, | ^ work for that which never was other , f than a common cause — the home. Too p long has the education for the home , ,. been neglected. i been neglected. I

The home must be the root, the foun- ;<] datioa, the keystone, the "ALL that J j makes for a better everything. It is j c the beginning and the end of life. All 0 activities proceed from it and return to | it. We are only just beginning to rec- 1 j ognise the fact, it ia the biggest problem • a ' wc have today. We have come nation- 1 0 ally to a time of economic pressure. The J jnational conservation, efficiency in pro- It duction .and thrift in the household are t the watchword a. Progress for the av- 1 v erage family group will turn now on J „ the wise household use of resources, j 0 This means the education of the "worn- : t an who spends" and emphasis upon do- ; H mestic economy ss well as upon indus- 1 1. trial economy. jc It means training a nation's home- j f. makers to the economic possibilities of j j their vocation V We have been ehdeavor- 1 1: ing to train our boys to make the most rmoney possible in a year but we are 0 teaching our girls to spend it properly, j t; If tbey were thusy taught, do you sup- 1 f, pose the divorce evlj would stand as it ' c. does? The home is where we beg n . j, and we must now go bsck to it. Every- 1 ,| thing works in a circle but spirally so. 1 1> We ahall go back to the home, not to |, the tallow candle, but to apply our in- ( n telligence and civilization to a more j perfect institution. j, Much Depends Upon the Mother ; t] So much depends upon the mother 1 Pl that I usually speak of the mother only, , y but I wish you to recognize that while ! j 1 speak of the mother I do not for a j n minute divorce the father from one sin- j j, gle phase of home life. j „ The general thought is that father | p . is away most of the time, that he is r, simply the breadwinner and mother does j j; the -rest— but the time is here when j „ father will stand in his true light — not ' n Kiow'u This? « We OL'ar Czo Htourcd Doilcxs Re- 1 red icr uzy cz: 3 c£ Citarrh tiat |, fcOLict ta cured by Hull's Catarrh , Cure. r. j. caBysr rl co..

merely -gs the creature who raises the cash. Four Great Institutions We have four great institutions, the ' home, the school, the church, and the | state. The home is the greatest and primarily the most important of these. mother is the heart of the home and the pulsations from that heart determines the future. What and where is the home? The Old-Time Home Time was when the home was the complete and entire existence of the family, and the mother was virtually the head of every institution that had ' anything to do with her child. All fcods i were raised about the home, prepared by the mother and preserved by her for the winter's use — all the grains, vegetables, fruits, meats. The same with the clothing, the flax, cotton, sheep, all raised about the home — mother was the manufacturer of the cloth and the maker of the elothes. She taught all of these arts to her children. Practically all the education was given in the home as it was more vocational then. all the religion and/morals were taught by the parents. All the industries were in and about the home, the learned their trades from'th^ir parents, and the children remained in and were surrounded by this environment until they married and established a similar institution of their ^g-n. Now do not want to "o back to this exact condition any more than we would give, our electric lights for the tallow candle, but we must correlate all institutions with the homi— the home must leach out and send its influence to every institution. Our present so-called home has lost the child, and it has been in the general thought that home keeping and home making were side issues. Present Day Conditions Now with the advance .of Civilization which has been virtually without the mother, hence more material, the mothhas practically lost the child. He goes to school eail$ in life by virture of compulsory law aiffl .mother has really no jurisdiction over the major part of his waking hours and they are filled with ouside influences. The years roll on with stress, lack of economy, no sympathy, unpreparedness. the child lost to the home and the home to the child. Then at the most critical period of the child's life, the beginning of adolescence, the school says "I now hold no jurisdiction over you and you are now free and at liberty to enthe world unprepared and unpro- ! tected. There are over two millions of ! such children going out into onr United j every year. Where ia the rcono- | my? Where is the conservation of the | home, of the parents, of the children? • shall we make np- for the wasted ! parenthood both to the parent and the ■ child? How shall we recompense those j homes for their loss and what ahall we , j Iiuuim IWI Mini IV*- nuu wiini nuan m i-

With the exception of the , j small percentage that have tha--jldvan- , j of more advanced education, our , | children go into the stores, 'mills, shops. factories and alas, many of them into | the streets, and what has the mother. ( | heart of the home, been doing ; what | can she do? We understand as 'mothers place is in the home, bat it seems ' home has become a space within ' walls and mother has become the ' j creature who administers to the physIieal needs of those who come by accior force of habit within these ' • boundaries oncu^in every twenty-four ' ■ la it not so T Is there not a rush for school, or with the older chil- ' i a rush for work, away all dav^a ' j dinner at night, then to bed with ' i the younger ones, while the older ones ' in clubs, corners, theatres. No*- all this is all right -if modified, but > can not find one mother -in fifty who c lean tell me the books her children study f i in school : what classes are heard, what | games are played at recess, with whom " played.

I We know that the formative 'period . of a child's life is from birth to six ; years, from six years to adolescence — - the plastic period, then comes the stress • and strain, and it is then too late to do the building. Every child has the right to be well born, well nourished, to Work ; to play, to moral training, to religious > training and to. demand an eduction. I Where can you separate the mother in i( 'these. ■ A child's first years are its most ini1 portant and the influence and training r then given are those which are al!< en- - during. Whether the little child ia at t play or work, the conception that is 1 indelibly impressed then, is the result r of its environment. 1 Hence it is necessary to demand higli1 er efficiency of the future home-maker. - It is most necessary that our girls i learn to cook, bake, can preserve, clean. . sew; dn fact do all those things that » will make a clean, wholesome, hygienic. - useful home: but her duties fls a mother » have, just begun — she must know how - to keep a hygienic, healthful baby. She 1 must know when and how to feed it and i not trust to instinct — as a young mothi er I know wlb fed a nine months old ' baby sfur kraut and mashed potatoes t because as she said, "Mothers know inN *tiuftivelv how to feed their own bai bies." The mother must know how to - intelligently grade its feeding and cloth1 ing. when to allow it to walk, when > to sleep, when to waken, why it criea- " and what to do. When baby is older 1 t she must recognize the two distinct " ' types, the motor child and the sensory " s child. 1 The motor child is the nervous child who shows temper quickly, fights read- 1 > ily, throws his blocks if they do not i p suit him, while the sensory child is in- | - different, very placid and will receive v the pleasant attentions and compliments ' • of others while the motor child is con- i 1 demned and comparisons made before ' him. ' f Direct Energies in Eight Channels t The mother . must recognize the su- ' perior -qualities in the motor child and * - be able to direct the seeming rude'enerf gios in the right channels, because he 1 is the child of persistence and determinf ation. She must recognize the sensory h ■ child to stimulate his activities. Oh. j, I the character building here — and what a •] ' disciplinarian mother must he! What ' evil may be wrought if a bad diseiplin- ^ r arias and what a holy light shim* ,, ' abroad if she knows herself and under- „ ■ stands her ehild. ' The mother must be able to recognize ^ ' physical and mental defects -or be in- ^ 1 telligent enough to accept the knowl- ^ ' edge of them when pointed out; and ' will to assist in the correction of the

She must know that defective vision. ' the presence of large tonsils and adenoid* ' a* well as many other physical defect* keep her child below normal standard. • and very ofter brands him as deficient. ' She must be able to recognize the mcnt- ' al defects and insist upon the child hav- ' training suitable to his needs. She must also be able to recognize the precocious child, the ultra bright child, and 1 not allow him to advance as his seeming fitness would suggest. He needs more attention than the backward child, a* brilliancy runs riot until he is- ' about twenty-one. then his energy becomes exhausted and he is heard of Home Education Important What, a big education the home education is. Education is the purposeful guiding and moulding of growth. Each child is a problem unto itself and no one knows as'much as the mother and no one needs to know so much as the teacher. A teacher cannot do one half her duty to the ehild unless the hogu- aud school The |iarents responsibility is so great in the cuUgkfus teaching of the ehild beeausef therein., lies the greatest help the Wn>l training, Religion i* tlip foundation of all morals. Concluding Maybe I have wondered into too many channels,- but I have tried to touch the points that seem to me so necessary to prove how essential is home education. produce the best in all life we must the best beginning and the best sustaining powers and this must all proceed froifi the home. Why is Germany putting Up such a good fight -it is because her soldiers are well fill . Germany i£ said to have the best commissary in the world. Just so— what-. , ever we develop well, is a good foundation fur whatever development follows. Dr. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner "of Education, says "From the home are the of life. In the little world of the children are born and reared. From it they go forth into the larger world of society and state to establish in turn theiy own little world of home. ' Memories linger round the home of the childIn the home must be established the physical, mental and moral health. The

experiences of home constitute the raw material of the education of the schools. The character and the teaching, conscious or unconscious of the home, determine in a large measure the childs' attitude toward all other institutions and towards all the other relations in All activities proceed from the home; therefore of all the arts, those pertaining to home-making arc the most important, and of all the sciences those which find their application in the home, making us intelligent about home and needs are the most significant. If the schools are to assist in making \i» intelligent about' the life we live aud the work we do, they must provide libii ally for instruction in these arts aud sciences. Within the last two or three decades , educator* and people generally have aud gradually the schools are bereadjusted to meet the new demands. Thus in some elementary schools, household arts are taught to both boys and girls. The training is being given to high school girls, college preparatory, normal* and colleges. For girL who live in the open rouutry equivalent opportunities are being provided. Household arts are going, even . the rural district school. In some eases the teachers give credits on re- | mils for work done at home. Education for the rural home is benefittino he the enisblishment of SDecial ' establishmenf of

secondary - schools for agricultural and i * household education, by the organization ' of boys and girl* of the county In con- ' test clubs, by development of rural coin- | munity centers, and by. other progressive measures in the results of which tlu^ i home shares. Yoilr own Home Culture Clubs are fitting the needs in some | ' places better than any other plan. ! Among the most important items in home i -duration are the plans for reach- , ing the home women with knowledge of i * better housekeeping. For this the prim- - sgeney is the continuation school which r provides either dsytim- or niglitthu- ( ■ lasses. There is also in some places the ? movable schools of hnutemakiiig, meet- ' ity; and there is also the visiting house- ' So we seem to have the gaf s open— , i it is for ns to enter now and develop. 1 1 Everything seem* alive.
