speaking, to blame for the fact that the
average man is a nuisance in the

A mother carefully taught her sons
many details of work usually considered,
the sole province of girls and concerning.
which boys generally groW up in utter
ignorance. • They washed and wiped
tlishes, learned to prepare plain meals,
had praetice in sweeping and dusting

to patch and darn neatly and to sew on
buttons. Some of them learned some-
thing of the "higher branehes." When
they went out into the world they had
frequent occasion to bless the mother
for these useful accomplishments; and
when they became heads of households;
they had an intelligent 'practical knowl-
edge of the details of the work of which
their wives had charge and were able to
make the burden easy in many ways
where another man would have made it
heavier.
