Broader View For Education Stressed by "Women of the World"- l 3

Igncrrance and isolation are two factors which create fright, and fright in turn creates aggression, Mrs. D. Moystad of Norway said during a Round Table Discussion on "The Education of Rural Youth" it sessions of the Associated Coun- ;ry Women of the World. Trien- nial Conference at Royal York.

"Since education frames the minds of children for the future, the great need is to inspire the right spirit." she said. UNESCO has got to the root of the trouble by examining school text books and criticizing them. since many misunderstandings have been brought about by misconceptions of other lands founded on school texts, she claimed. Reports were given on school systems in rural areas of Norway. where the pro- blem ls bringing the schools to the children because of distances: Den- mark, where the teaching is "not how to make a living but how to live" and Holland, where the Popular or Folk High School gives training for being good citizens.

Mrs. A. M. Berry of Australia, chairman, said she believed the life of the community should cen- tre around the school on all levels. and from Ceylon came reports of agricultural schools for boys and girls, and a university agriculture started two years ago.

UNESCO programs and seminars for world understanding were dis- :ussed by Mrs. Elizabeth Beescn

of UNESCO. "We must rernem- ber that only one half of the world can read and write." she told her listeners. "We must a- gree that we have a responsibility towards these, and seriously con- sider the UNESCO program and how we can contribute to it. Every organization can contribute, as the American Farm Bureau has done by sending equipment to Indcla. '

No two countries have the same educational problems, speakers a- greed. Over-populated countries must consider how to educate peopile to earn their living by somenewmeans; in Fthodesiawherc the population is sparse, '10 per cent of the European children must attend boarding school, being home for only three months of the year. Three out of five children are now getting some edudation there, it was reported.

Women's Institutes. realizing that the mothers must be educat- ed. have formed clubs for them and now give them regular train- ing 'in hygiene. Dr. Helen Abell of the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, told the Canadian plans.

"The great question is. do we not have to consider education of youth for world conditions, rather than for rural living?" s.iid Mrs. A. M. Berry, Australia. in summing up. "Rural conditions are so dif- ferent in every land. had we not better take the larger view?"

ON this day the Moon enters Capricorn, which makes it an ex- cellent perlod for all household matters. Renovating and interior decorating plans started now should culminate most. successfully. and any purchases made for home -use should prove satisfactory. Real es- tate matters are also favored.

During the evening hours you can gratify an inner desire for adven-

responsibility that will act as a challenge to your capabilities. Plan. for instance. on a large-scale social function or a program designed for community Welfare. You'll not only enjoy the effort. but it may well bring about an increase in your personal prestige.

CANADA'S FOOD RULE!

During world War II. the various countries fried to tell their citizens the amounts and kinds of food that would not be too expensive yet give the amount of nourishment. neces- sary to keep them strong in body and buoyant in spirit. Among the nations which gave advice on food and nourishment were Great Brit- ain, the United States and Canada.

A few years ago. Dr. Morris Fish- beln. then Editor of "The Journal of the American Medical Associa- tion," wrote a small but complete book on the Food of the Nation which found its way into nearly every physician's office and into the homes of a good percentage of the public. Canada also put out a. book early intworid War II and more recently the Health League of Canada published Canada's Food Rules as approved by the Canadian Council on Nutrition, Nutrition Division. Department of National Health and Welfare. Ottawa.

”These foods are good to eat, Eat them every day for health. Have at least three meals each day."

1. Milk. Children up to 12 years at least 1 quart. Adolescents (teen- agers) at least 1": pints. Adults at least 1 pint.

2. Fruit. One serving of citrus fruit or tomato or their juices: and one serving of other fruit.

A Tyranl In The Home

Second Wife Of Mean Husband Flndi He Looks Upon Women As Slaves

DEAR MISS DIX: Five years ago I married a man. father of two boys aged 15 and is. Their mother had left them, and the fault was sup- posed to be hers; now I know different. At the time of our marriage I had an eight-year-old daughter, whom he promised to treat as his own. The boys have had every possible care from me, which they grate- fully acknowledge. , '

Our first trouble is money. My husband refuses to buy anything at all for the house, the children or me, and I am sup- posed to run the place on :50 a month, including food. insurance, light. telephone. and anything else we need. Such penury is not necessary, since the man has a job with a. good salary.

If I work, what money I earn must be used as house allowance. My daughter is treated like the proverbial stepchild and she never gets a kind word from her stepfather. He drives the car where- ever he wants to go . yet gripes about the gas I use to go marketing. Visiting relatives is cut. of the question; he'd cuss for a week over the cost of the

At ACWW

WITH THE ACWW IN TOR- ONTO, (Special) - Group dis- cusslons on policy, finance, con- stitution and publicity and publi- cations occupied Monday morning at the Associated Women of the World conference in session here.

A discussion which has special interest for an agricultural prov- ince such as Prince Edward in- land had as its topic economic problems of people on the land.

F. M. Schrader, principal econ- omist of the Canadian Department of Agriculture, told the delegates that the cost of marketing foods in Canada and the United States of recent years has been about one-half of the retail price.

The cost of marketing some pro- ducts is higher because more serv-

ice: are performed.

"In Canada." Mr. Schrader said. ,"we lend to rely upon competition lamong agencies to keep marketing lvosts to A minimum, and we rely upon consumers to keep the ex- tent. of services performed at the desired level."

-Mr. J. F. Booth of the economic

idlvisinn of Department of Agri- culture, Ottawa. spoke on the farm-labor problem. He pointed

loiit that mechanization has great- 'l,v reduced farm labor and in many lcouniries such as Svvilzerland 'there are as many as eleven plots
