' Mr. Waldo ha applied th power of her f ine-mlnd to home, -chool and child problem. 1 i ' She cohtraated the "home : teacher" (the mother) with the- school teacher. Tneschool teacher murit have her spe cial training; normal schools, then, dur ing her year of work, the monthly In stitute or , teacher' - meeting, y She 1 also accountable, first to the eohool au thorities, then to th public. Th "hom teacher," on the contrary, ha no spe cial training for her duties," aside from the comparatively. -recent work, of the Congress of Mothers; no regular meet ings to attend where her problem ar atudled. and no one in particular 1: to whom sh 1 accountable for failure or succei. i . 'i Mm. Waldo spoke also on social eth ic in the training of boy and girl of 16 and older, She said that at the O. A.

She empha sised the need of a business adminis tration in the home; the need for every woman to know what proportion of her husband earning went for food and what for clothing; the need of careful and sensible buying; the need for know tng all wool from shoddy, and a good piece of meat from a bad One. She de clared that there 1 a eclence of expend iture, and an art as well, and that th esthetic of expenditure la to get pleas ure out of the money as well aa aimply food and clothing theTneed of the well set table and nicely served meals.: iirm. Waldo also gave a little time to the matter of plain, common - honesty. She said that in business honesty, China lead the wborld, while international business men place America third in the ;ist of nations.
