Miss Beatrice Cobb Finds Significnace in Fact
That More Than 4,000,000 Young People ,
Are -Taking Courses in Home;":

By MISS BEATRICE COBB, Morganton, N. C
Secretary of the North Carolina Pre Association and Editor
. . of the Morganton Newa-Hwald - v.v '
The doleful refrain of wail
ing pessimists that the world is
.going to the demnmon of bow
wows and that our young worn
en are in the vanguard of the
procession seems to me an alto
gether discordant note in this
advanced day.
No doubt it is well that we
have these vinegar-tasters with
us. They probably serve more
or less as balance wheels, or
theyVurb over-enthusiasm or
keep the pendulum from swing
ing too far in any one direction
at least they must be here for
some purpose. But theirs isTi
minor note. The world is mov
ing on and upward all the time
and as always the hallelujah
chorus is drowning out the
squeaky discprds.
There are those who would
have us believe that jazzmania
has gripped- and destroyed
womanhood: that modernity
lias withered all the sweetness
and solidity of our young omtoMhe whole strutttfre. v
en and that flaming youth has
flighted lovely girlhood. '
Not so! All the hub-bub one
hears ni these latter days is not
y , 18 merely cnange. po many oi
f "')ur so-called students of soci-
Jology fall into that error : any
thing that is not as it always
was augurs disaster. People
v are just different these days;
,? that is all, as I see it.
a One of the most encouraging
I signs of the times and it is only
on this phase of the question
I that I shall attempt to comment
1 is the vast increase in the
? who are toclav stuclvintr home-
bv clean convenient gas ranges:
the water spigot is ngnc at tne
elbow the obnoxious kerosene
lamp is replaced by a steady e-
lectnc glow and the; - whole
kitchen is bright, 'cheery and
easy to operate. v
So it is there you will find ex
planation of the fact that girls
and women these days nave
more time for play and inwre
thought for beauty. Modernity
in the kitchen has greatly de
duced the population of Cinder
ellas. Our girls are studying
how to make home, how to
make thenr bright,, cheerful
and comfortable and Atv the
same time how to retain for
themselves the freshness and
beauty of youth.
What more encouraging con
dition ! The saying is ever ; true,
despite its triteness, that-the
is basis of our civilization .And
I might go one step further and
say that the kitchen is the key
AWell cooked meal served
in a comiortaDie nome,is a
blessing of the gods physically,
mentally and morally.- -
if the vast number r. gins
nW-Btudyinir f hoMe-rialcrng
means any thing to me it means
that we are veering away from
hotel and resturant life and
that the American home is to
mean all in our civilization that
it ever meant and more.

them to come here and by so
doing, to provide an added

to realize what that increase
in income will add to his well

Dear Mr. Whitehurst:
As I have just
received your address I have not
written before. think it was very
kind of you to offer such a thing to
White Rock School. It was a great
help to the children to get such prac
tice in speaking. It certainly helped
me a lot. I want to thank you for
the five dollars. You ought to have
heard myself and the rest of them, be- .
fore our most helpful and kind teach
ers helped us. We said it in a sing- ,
song way. I am twelve 'years odr,
and am in, or will be in the eighth
