schools are 50 years behind in educational 

 methods. Sometimes it seems to me that 

 Home Bureau has been more successful in 

 presenting to the homemakers the material 

 needed, than the educators have in presen- 

 ting material needed by the children.

 Home Bureau has meant new interests to 

 me. And, what would a homemaker be with- 

 out homemaking interests? 



I am happy to recommend because of my 

 own experience, the organization of Home 

 Bureau to all other homemakers.
