The Bulletin. 45 



Many are the country women who work in the field and hire their sewing because 

 they don't know how to sew. 



Uliere is no reason why the principles of ajrriculture and doinontic ponnomy 

 that you men and women have come here to discuss can not he tanj/ht in llie 

 country sdiools. Start tlie l»oys ami <,'iils olF with some i<nowletljie of llirir work, 

 and witli respect for tlieir work. Have you never lieard hoys sny that tliey were 

 farniinfj because they "weren't (it for anythinj.' else"? And have you never heard 

 girls speak sli<jlitini,'ly of donicstje woik? \\hat is this but a lack of re-^pect 

 for tlie work they are doini;? Wisely and well spoke llie man who said: '■'] he 

 secret of success is being in love with your work." When country cliildren are 

 taught to do country work well they will cease to look upon it as drudgery. Their 

 work will become a respected art — and when we respect our work so much that we 

 dare not do it 'poorly we will succeed.
