= When Crows Start To Call, - Mild Weather Is Nearing

A mild, gray day we came to this morning with, on the heels of the January thaw, icy roads and ice lying in crystal patches om the meadows to be of concern te the farmers, fooking ahead to

haying.

“It’s icy spells like this’’ Jam- es Commented at breakfast: “that kills the clovers. Can't breathe,

The porrxige is sweet these Jamuary mornings, as too were the eggs that followed ours, fresh from the dark-ruffed, white

sound about the place more inspiring in the winter, season than this. It brings to mind many an enchanting scene of “Sunshine and beauty and bipom’” and Spring’s dawning ahead.

‘Gray the morning was, with branches limned dark against the quiet sky. The pup barked, and a company of sparrows lifted in afflash from the rosebush out- side the window, near which we breakfasted. A car making its way up the (road hill, and not far now from its summit, falter- ed in the iced surface..and back- ed down to the level.

“ ‘Try it again, dear’ we said chuckling, recalling a wise mother of the lost years, em courege calmly and with a smile ther small one who had forgotten for the moment the opening lines of her recitation at the Christ- mas Concert. “ ‘Just try it a gain’” she said. :

And now, the machine mount- ed the incline confidently to be gone -over the top and lost to us in the distance beyond

“Not the best day this, Ellen’ James said picking’up his cap then to be off to his choring “thé moving those young cattle home.”

Through the .afternoon. this ghore was effected. Younglings of animals were herded along the fields—brought from other barns home to occupy those stalls left vacant and forjorn by°yesterdays partings.

Our share of -the endeavour (and it is a strange farm which does not allow all its members, even the least of them to be a necessary cog in the machine of its workings!) was to see that the dogs were kept indoors, so that the new-comers should suf- fer_no distraction or other set-

“The crows are back!" Mack commented this evening, noting upland calls in thesmildness. _

“Tt’s only the raven — maybe” we said.

“Ravens don’t call like crows” the youngster offered.

“I believe there are always crows about’ James said. “A miki spell brings them to light. It’s not Spring yet’’ he smiled, “though by Candlemas Day— and that’s not too far away now, the Winter’s stipposed to be half- gone, in regard to the store of hay and grain in the barns. Yes, the Winter's being whittled a@& way.”

As has this day, in winsome curls of shavings, the minute and hours fell away, fragrant and clean.

Until tomorrow—Diary—Good- night.

The Questions

Members of the Prince Fd- ward Island Home Economics Association met at the home of the President, Mrs. L.E. Prowse, 29 Greenfield Avenue, Charlotte- town on January 22nd. The prin cipal business of the meeting was discussion on the survey questions sent by the Profession al Progress Committee of the Canadian Home Economics As- sociation. The members express- ed their ideas on what Home Economics is, when it should be taught, what are its potentiali- ties and what the future holds for it. In summary the facts brought out in the discussion were:

Home Economics is both a science and an art and concerns itself with homemaking in all its phases—the home and the family and their social relationships. Dr. Edith Rowles, Associate Pro fessor, University of Saskatche- wan, has stated the contribution Home Economics can make to Canadian education by saying it covers -three distinct areas: the development of personality qualities which makes for happy homes; the education of the con- sumer and the teaching of the homemaking skills which are required for modern living

MH is seen that the skills of cooking and sewing, important though they be are but one phase of Home Economic’s education for which the focal point is bet- ter homes and happy families. The present-day curriculum deals with the social, aesthetic, managerial, economic, physical, moral-and religious aspects of family Telations, chiki develop ment, food, clothing and hous- ing. It aims to set up a new set of values in. which homemaking is neither menial nor monotonous and in which material things are kept in proper perspective.

When and where is Home Ec- onomics education to be given? The answer is it cannot begin too early and the first and most im- portant place for it (as indeed is true of all education) is in the home itself. The pre-school child who learns to put away clothes and toys, to dust furniture, run the vacuum or cut out miniature cookies not only develops co-or- dination of muscles but is having effective practice in homemak- ing. Formal lessons in textiles and foods are-advocated for Jun- jor High School grades as in terest is easily aroused in those years. These lessons support and ‘supplement what has been tau- ght at home and where there is not teaching of household science in the home they make good the deficiency. They lay a foundae- tion for the most important eca- reer open to women—that of wife mother and homemaker.

In the professional field many

Lunch, Mrs. Kipping, Mrs. Harry Lawson, Mrs. Alvin Mac- Lauchlan; fun and nonsense, Mrs Horace Marshall and Mrs. Walt- er Marshall.

The treasurer reported $18.13 on hand. A donation of $34.45 proceeds of the school Christmas concert was received from the teacher. ‘
