OUR SCHOOL Here's to our School of Washington, In whose broad yard great men have run. Here's to our school-house, hrfn may she stand, Herets to her Flag, majestic and grand. Happy are they who have learned in her halls, Great men of today, long ago heard her cans. And on through the ages, each year from her doom Men noble shall exit, as always of yore. The Class of t' ,l-PJ shall never forget, The fme times that within her walls they have spent; And when their thoughts roam they will um er regret, That once der her desks at their lessons they bent. And they'll remembcr in years gone by, All that happened at our Night High; And they were the first to finishiwell done In those good old days at W'ashington. ERNEST W. Smcmmuzn, '14;

HOME EFFICIENCY e Continued but given the Chance, fetterecl socially, intellectually and morally, all because of the lack of intelligence and understanding on the part Of those who preside over the home? The home may be made a community complete in itself. Father and mother and children form a circle in which conven sation, reading. work, and various diversions may all have their part. The childrem. in whom there is a natural and free mental unfolding. with no suppression of life in most cases are those whose fathers are companions of the buys and the mothers of the girls and both parents jointly of the family. What unfold- ing life needs most of all are not rules and regulations which in many homes are arbitrarily laid clown, but the right sort of suggestion and inspiration which a WE'lleOHlETEd domestic activity furnishee, thy show more sense in training the family parrot than in rearing our future parents, teachers. preachers and statesmen? That there are many parents who, by the lack of means, are so hampered that they cannot give their children a square deal. a little investigation would make evident; and it is to be hoped that the clay will come when our whole economic system will have been so adjusted that every worthy family may have the means to live in a tit dwelling and every mother will be in a position to employ help in her home when it is necessary. so that she may give proper attention to the lives entrusted to her care. When that day comes; home efficiency will not be uncommon; and where it is lacking. society will not be to blame. But the very fact that under present conditions there are so many disadvantages with which to cope, necessitates a more assiduous application of the parents to the home efficiency problem. Under no circumstances ought the intellectual and moral and spiritual life of the home be made second to any consideration. liy natural and moral and divine right human life should always have first place. Here, then, is the burden of this essay. The function of the home is the developing of strong character out of the raw material. Entering into this process are work, play. reading. social life, church attendance, the system that all this demands, and the example and companionship 0f the parents. Each one of these separately and all of them collectively must be considered as they bear upon the character of the members of the family. Norma lVet'ss.
