CHICAGO. Feb. 20.—(By the Asso

“Every specialized profession is
taken care of except that of the home
as a whole." Airs. Morse said. "It
is no wonder these brldos and grooms
eventually have brain fag and ner
vous prostration. How can they be
expected to unite nnd put into prac
tice 'in the home, tho education which
has f4itod them only for a business
life.
“What these men and women need
is a thorough training in the prin
cipals of a professional home life,
Including all <of the arts and sciences
that arp noodcd therein. There are
nioro would-be ilioms makers than
anything: else.
“When the schools have learned i
that home making is based on the]
very first principles of psychology.'
art and science, they will doubtless j
unite the home activities into pro
fessional courses. When that ;inie
comes oh fid re n will be normally on

life from the hour of its birth. When
that tiinio comes the human family
will not be permitted to go to waste.
Reformers and Juvenile courts will be

best to the world,
"The technical training of th ■ pub

“My dear Mrs. Winter
“i ym glad to assure you of my
i i ly endorsement of the prig’am
f the General Federation of Women
( i lis for a National Garden W ■k
this spring. The benefits both to in
dividuals w'ho take part and to the

"Most sincerely yours,
• WARREN G. HARDING,"
: Mrs. Winter says of the purpose of
■ Garden Week:
1
•'Perhaps nothing could help to
tabilize our minds amt spirits In this
very tumultuous timo so much s a
profound and intlnuite realization of
the steadiness of the universe In
which w>* live—its law. its orderli
ness. its magnificent long purposes
and recurrences. The Garden Move
ment means a great deal more than
getting a little plot of land where
the child or the grown-up can raise
a few sweet peas or radishes. It
means that serene contact with the
vitality and reliability and serenity
of nature, of purpose and fulfillment,
of human life as related to forces in
definitely greater than Itself. That’s
the reason we club women are back
ing Garden Week We believe in
nhe kind of activity that links Itself
with ordered purpose—that sees the
day as a part of eternity."
