WOMAN'S PLEA IS CONVINCING Miss Berry of State College Makes a Strong Argument for Specialized Education MAKERS OF THE HOME MUST DEMAND TRAINING Good Housewife Is in the Produc ing Class and Is Not a Boarder and Is Entitled to a Proper Recompense Despite its splendid high School building, its alert and progressive population, its high percentage of high school population and despite other ■conditions which put Yakima in the lead In many ways In comparison with other towns of the stntp there does not begin to be the interest here in some of the practical phases of ed ucation that is to be encountered in almost any other town of the slate. For some reason, either in the school system or because of failure on the part of the community to recognise its opportunities instruction qualify ing the boys and girls to become bet ter producers, more tapable spccalists and logically better citizens is not de manded here by the high school boys nnd girls or for them by their par entg. Vlpws of Miss Berry This, in substance, was one of the statements made Monday morning ;it the Y. M. C. A. by Miss Berry who was lecturing in the state college ins titute work in progress here. Else where, everywhere else in the state, the demand for such training of the young is stronger and the facilities are more eagerly taken advantage of than in North Yakima. While not desirous of coming to North Yakima to give advice. Miss Berry said, still she whs of opinion that no better work, or fraught with greater good to the town and state, tiould be taken up by the i'lub women than that of demanding that the education offered the boys anil girls Be practical, that it be such as to enable them to do better the duties they must take up and that it be a boys' education for boys and a girls' education for girls. Mi-~ Berry Is ('onvlncinj; MlSt Berry is an excellent talker. an orator at times, with a splendid command of language and a Dies dis crimination is the choice of words. She speaks nunnlly. Incisively and en tertainingly. She believes in her cause and her cause is fortunate in having her as an advocate for it is impossible for anyone to listen 1., her and remain unconvinced of the merit of the cause she advocates. I;n.i tes tionably, also, she makes converts. Speaking more directly to the young girls, of whom there were a great many in her audleme. Inn furnishing edification In liberal quantities to the elders as well. Miss Berry traced briefly the development of education al work a* emphasized by the socializ ing of various institution-- such as the public laundry, the textile factories, the canneries and the common iml i* tries of today which have taken from the home iii<- work formerly done there by the woman, in these brain'h | e« tilt u'ikc eantlUl woman has pr«M ; en her title to the wealth she pro -1 d.i^res Similarly th« WOißtn In Ui» hiiine who does the tniiifcx Demaaded Han, who, fccoording to his own statement, is the qiore Intelllgeht half of the human world, does not think he can know how by instinct or iu tuftlOD, to carry Bi| the business -'n which he is engaged. For liis work he requires anil kemandl a special training. Similarly the Women can not be expected by Instinct or intui tion to be able tj>Alu her work. 'The husband and vctiv are in a partner- Rbip, he at thp head af the huslncps side and she al the head of the home management, it is common knowl edge to the business man how scare managerial ability is. yet there is ci hesitation in giving to the woman an opportunity to learn the things she must be expected to execute. Miss Berry spoke nt the mass of knowl edge, all of It recent with reference to health, sanitation, feeding children, home making which a woman must havo. These arc things in which wo men are interested. They cheerfully admit that the tariff, the currency bill and such measures do not interest them nnd that they do not understand them but they are interested in the home and the influence which effect it find they have a right to qualify to become the best of possible horn* makers, mi Will Be Married Miss Berry thinks that the time is coming when all women will he mar ried and when tha) Wtll have the privilege of home making and she is devoting her life to education in prep aration for that condition. One idea advanced by the speaker was that of a law requiring tha man* ufavturers of textile goods to label their product to' show Its character. Food products are now labeled so that the purchaser may know what ho la gelling. The buyer of textiles In en titi"d to the name protection, She does not ask for a law which will change tile character of Hie articles manufactured bul the percentage of wool, linen. Bilk, etc.. in a piece or goods should be plainly marked there on so that Ihe buyer, who may pur chase H'lml be or she desires will know just what is being purchased.
