Becau e of the varied demand the training mu t be very exten ive and inten·' i,:e. The training begin jn early ~hildhood-a oon a you are aware of what )'Our mother i doing.

The Great Teacher u ed in training Hi di ciple . It i also the method u ed by early teacher and trade man in training their appren– tice . The pupil lived with the in– structor and "lived' ' the job he or she was learning. Thi should be training enough. However, that many are not prepared or qualified i evidenced by the fact that o many home break down, the children become neglected and de– linquent, and in turn become frust– rated and incompetent parents, ,thus continues a vicious circle. As a gener– al rule, a girls method of home– making will closely follow her moth– er·s pattern. LIKE MOTHER LIKE DAUGHTER. Every man ha a right to ex.pect his wife to be able to care for his home, clothes meals, children; to be interested in his health, job ambitions, and hobbies. For an active man thi can be a full-time job in itself. How– ever if you desire your husband to advance in his business or profession you must dress, behave, be interested and invol\ 1 ed in activities outside the home that will help him.

It i not nece ary to go to college to be a t1cce f ul homemaker, but l would be the fir t to ay that a college education i not wa ted on a girl who i ju jt going to "keep hou e". I may urpri e you when I ay that if you do go to college, don't major in Home Economic un– le you plan to be a teacher of Home E~, a diet,ician, interior dec– orator, etc. Any college graduate can figure out a recipe. Books and magazines are full of hel p for run– ning a home. Get an education to broaden your horizon and make you interested in things beyond your own four wall . If you don't your palace may become your prison. Dual Careers Which of u can know for ure that we will not be called upon to undertake another career due to cir– cumstance we cannot forsee. It i good sense to be ,prepared for another career. But to be a successful mother is a FULL-TIME JOB. There i too much to be accompli hed in too hort a time to engage in dual career at ithis time. Shaping ithe lives of our children i too important a re pon i– bili ty to turn over to a baby sitter or hou ekeeper. God has entru ted to our care the e lives He con idered o valuable, .that He sent His Son to die for them. It is a fal e sen e of values that will allow a mother to sacrifice the well being of her chil– dren for more of this worId s good . In a finer analysi it i more than education which we need. We need wisdom! We soon realize that the wisdom we possess is not enough, but God has made His vas t stores of wisdom available to us and we may ' 'draw" from His wisdom at any time. "If any of you lack wi dom, let him a k God, that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not; and it hall be given him."
