Attendance at school is required of all between the ages of eight and fourteen and of all between fourteen and sixteen who are not “actively and regularly and lawfully” employed or who are unable to read and write. This new law takes from the map printed in The Survey of February 15 one of the five gray southern states that have had compulsory attendance only in certain counties.

We Believe——

THAT home-making should be regarded as a profession.

THAT right living should be the fourth “R” in education.

THAT health is the duty and business of the individual, illness of the physician.

THAT the spending of money is as important as the earning of the money.

THAT the upbringing of the children demands more study than the raising of chickens.

THAT the home-maker should be as alert to make progress in her life work as the business or professional man.—American School of Home Economics.
