ISSUSIITIITN MEETING

At a largely attended meeting of the

School and Home Association held yesterday afternoon, at which the Pre- sident, Mrs. J. A. Msthleson, presided a most interesting and instructive ps- per was read by Mrs. Nowell which ellcted u. spirited and instructive dis cusslon. ,

Prefaclng her remarks by stating

sho had been asked by thc Association to coutrlbutc n paper, kindly refer- ences to the citizens of Charlottetown, und u. brief summary of her school days und school training, shc proceed- vli: "Now the thing that has been of thc most' use to moi both for uglllty and pastime is sewing. Certainly I never carncd a penny by lt. but lt has

saved me pounds. which is same thing. Really. 'A penny ss d is a penny camcd,' you know, and sowing is of the utmost importance jo girls,

I-specially the art ol' 'mendip.§’1eutly. it is an art. and takes far me rains than buying a ltlc. pattern and making n waist. Well. you can’t do every stitch of that even with a machine, you must have an idea of sewing to finish it neatly.

The subject of the next importance

is cooking. A man will forgive his inexperienced wife a great deal if she is a good cook. Fortunately this came quite easily and naturally to me. as I used u litte common sense and did not expect a tender, juicy steak to

`comc off the griller wllcn I had put

a piece of moat on it which looked like leather. New of all my inter educa- tion these two filings, sewing and CU0kll\B. by far take thc load from a married womnn's point of view, and all of us when young look forward to llavlng a house of olir own. A girl can lllways earn her living if she is a not seamstress with a certain amount of style for drcsamaking, or a good cook. They are of more value to s. girl than science. lt is very interest- ing lo know that watcr will boil at 'Jill deg. Fahr. nt tho sea level. but will boil at 189 dog. if you take it up to the top of Mount Blanc in Switzer- land. lhrec miles high. owing to the pressure of thc atmosphere being so much lcl-ls at that altitude. A lot of us would sooner try and struggle to the top of the mountain to find out -if what wc learnt was truc, than come down to the prosaic task of being sure the water is boiling fast enough to make a decent cup ol’ tea.

The care and feeding of infants.

elementary nursing and first aid, hygiene and sanitation are suitable compulsory studies for girls and. of course, domestic economy. Geo- graphy, history, ancient alld modern. mythology and Frencll, especially in Canada; are very important nud useful as through them the girls understand what they ure reading about when they pick up ally literature.

Now, for pastime, according to my

experience, music comes first, singing, literature, painting and drawing. I do not wish to decry in any way what lr called 'the Higher Education of Women.’ but I would like to ses ‘common-sense education’ put tlrst, and then all these other arts and sciences added afterwards, because taking my own expperlence, I started at the wrong end. with the exception of sewing. with the result that I have found housework simply drudgery, and have always felt' discontonted and bad tempered when I have had a long spoil of il.

The curriculum for the public

schools is, I suppose. laid down hy the Govemmcnt. and if such things as sowing. cooking. laundry work, hy- giene. sanitation, ctc.. ere not com- pulsory. then we ought to try und sa-curc n building or cvcn u large room whore n start could hu made lu teach- ing them.
