mestic Science formed an important
branch, but as club work and cluo
women progressed, the title "Domes
tic Science'' seemed inadequate, as to
the intimate touch of this depart-
: meat in the home; so a few years
ago was changed into a Home Eco
nomics Department, thereby bringing
' it before the public in its true mean
ing. It is this department that
! touches so closely the firesides of our
J nation: the making- of future citizens,
as well as the better care of those
who have already reached the adult

: portant fields of club work, for it is
not only, "as a man thinketh so is
he." but we might sav, "as a man
; KATKTH so is he!"
The food that we live upon more
than any other agent, makes our suc

j However, Home Economics means
: other things than food. It means
shelter, protection, raiment, environ
ment, sanitation, etc.. all of those
things necessary to a clean mind and
body, which makes for a long, hapny,
useful life. Women collectively, and
individually, are taking an active and
progressive interest in making at
tract ive and beautiful not only their
own homes, but their individual com
munities, and rural districts, as well;

The need for the revival of the stu
dy of the Bible has come to be very
apparent. The scheme of the study
in the Literary Department this year
is the direct outcome of a request
from the (leneral Federation. Even
the nation is aroused on the subject.
It is hoped, that through the study of
tile o!,l 'e-lament from an historical
and literary standpoint in our Club
work this year, we may arouse in pa-
i rents and children a love and venera
jtion fur this mo.-t wonderful and last

My Ideal Woman.
(An excerpt from the graduating
essay of one of the charter members
of the Club.)
My ideal woman has had no exist
ence as yet, save in my own im
agination, where she is glowingly
painted and tenderly reverenced in
the prime of womanhood. Her un
sullied feet touch not even the brink,
of the river of sin; from her starry
eyes a purified and exalted soul looks
forth, triumphing over the flesh, from
her pure lips, no unworthy accents
ever fall, and in the sunny love bow
ers of her heart, no trail of the ser
1 pent is seen. Her intellect, as her
heart, is cultivated to ideality, the
i brilliancy of her wit is potent to
J move listening throngs to laughter,
or melt them to tears.
I When she goes down to her quiet
re.-tmg place, the world, itself, will
crow sadder and darker, for it will
no longer be brightened by the sun-
i light of her smiles; the lily and the
! rose will love to spring in matchless
purity and beauty above her grave,
jam! even the winds of Heaven will

the glory of womanhood has set forever.

In
i recent Sunday edition there
were citations from the Old and New
Testaments and from Shakespeare,
wherein the expression "you all" and
similar expressions were used, quoted
in justification thereof. Allow me to
add a classical authority, no less than
Cicero, who repeatedly uses the ex
presson "vos nmiics" "you all." Just
as this is of the Augustan age of Lat
inity, the high water mark in litera
ture, so "you all" is English of the
purest tyne. I once was ashamed of
the speech of our southern mountain
eers, thinking that it arose from ig
norance and lack of cultivation, but I
have since realized that they were
speaking a purer type of English than
were our college men, believing, as I
now do, that the nearer the source the
purer the issue therefrom.
