In the meantime, the Howell Lum

Always the
Freshest!
When the Federation Board de-
cided to organize the Department of
the American Home we realized that
home-making has developed into a
many-sided and highly technical pro-
fession. Each year its problems be-
come broader and more difficult to
solve. So we divided the subject
matter for the program into three
divisions:
First, the material side of the
home, its four walls and its con-
tents, which must be wisely chosen
and properly protected.
Second, the various mental and
spiritual phases of home-making,
such as appreciation of literature,
art and music, character building
and religious training.
Third, the. home in its relation to
the community, including Mother-
crafta nd Domestic Science as taught
in the schools, extension work among
clubs, especially rural clubs, the en-
couragement of any activity which
shall dignify home-making as a
profession, particularly among the
young people.
The first two divisions of the pro-
gram are designed to aid the indi-
vidual woman in the home, and the
third division, it is hoped, will de-
velop her sense of responsibility to
the community and to the on-coming
generation.
Many departments and divisions
already functioning, such as Applied
Education, American Citizenship and
FincA rts, had contributions to make
to the new departments. The ques-
tion, therefore was to find a chair-
man who could develop a program
combining the new activities with
the work already established which
would prove practical for all types
of club women, in large cities, in
towns and in rural communities.
Mrs. Maggie W. Barry of College
Station, Texas, for this responsible
post.
So, as we say at our luncheons,
well ave withu s today Mrs. Maggie
W. Barry, chairman of the Depart-
ment of the American Home, Gen-
eral Federation of Women’s Clubs.
Mrs. Barry’s Position Is Unique ;
Every woman who reads this pa-
per. whether she belongs to a club
or not, will be interested in meeting
Mrs. Barry. The position which she
occupies in the educational and
club world is unique. She is Spe-
cialist for Women’s Organizations
on the faculty of the Extension Ser-
vice of the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College of Texas. Her job is to
teach theo rganizationwomen of
Texas how to uset he resources of
their State College, and to tell the
faculty of the Extension Service how
the college can best serve the wom
en.
When the officials oft hec ollege
created the postt hey sought a wom-
an of knowledge and experience
along two lines, home-making and
the organization methods of women.
By inheritance, education and ex-
perience Mrs. Barry was the woman
for the place. Born near Palo Alto,
Mississippi, of distinguished parent-
age, her early environment had been
one of social and intellectual cul-
known wherever women’s -organiza-
tions are working to place
making on a higher level.
She has organized her new
home-
De-
partmento f the American Home to
meet the needs of the individual
woman in the home, and has gather-
ed round her a group of women rep-
resenting the North and the South,
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and
the great Middle West. Her Chair-
man of Home Economics Teaching
is Mrs. J. C. Gawler of Yakima,
Washington. Her Chairman of Home
Extension Service is Mrs. Clarence
Haring of California, and her Chair-
man of Home-making is Mrs. Harry
A. Burnham of Newtonville, Massa-
chusetts. Mrs. Burnham was born
and educated in Vermont, and has
lived in New Jersey and California,
so that her viewpoint is not limited
by her residence in Massachusetts.
During the World War she was State
Specialist of Food Conservation, tak-
ing intensive training for the work
at the State Agricultural College in
Amherst.

LEY ENTERTAIN WITH BRIDGE
On last Thrsday afternoon, Mes-
dames Robert Coffey and W. N.
Gourley entertained a number of
their friends at the home of Sheriff
and Mrs. Gourley, with a delightful
bridge party. The event was to
honor Mrs. Earl McElroy, of Kent,
who was in Alpine visiting relatives
and friends. There were six tables
of bridge. Mrs. Wells McIntyre won
high score and Miss Edith Cooper
took the consolation prize. A color i

she studied
French poetry and drama under Ma-

under Lida von Krockow of Berlin
and Dresden.
On her return to America she
taught modern languages, and even-
tually organized the literary depart-
ment of Kidd-Key College in Texas. |
Her career as a teacher was inter-
rupted by marriage and motherhood,
but after her husband’s death she
returned to Kidd-Key as head of the
Department of English. She re-
served a part of her time for lectur-
ing and reading in public, work
which took her allo ver Texas and
adjoining States. Her club work be-
gan in 1900 when she organized the
Shakespeare Club among the girls
attending Kidd-Key College. Since
1907 she has served almost continu-
ally on the Board of Directors of the
State Federation. Her success soon
attracted the attention of the Gen-
eral Federationo fficers. and she has
served the Federation in the division
cf Literature and as chairman of the
division of Home Economics in the
Department of Applied Education.
Mrs. Barry is known wherever
women’s associations meet in Texas.
Her admirers are found in the
League of Women Voters, the Par-

Association. Outside the State she is
Five Vital Topics
In this article I purpose outlining
specifically a group of programs on
the material side of the home, a
group outlined by Mrs. Burnham,
Chairman of the Division of Home-
making. These programs deal with
five important subjects: First, the
budget system, by which the family
income is handled; second, insur-
ance, by which the family property
is protected from fire, burglary and
other emergencies and by which the
financial future and education of the
children are assured; third, textiles,
in whose purchase the intelligent
buyer for the family may get her
money’s worth; fourth, nutrition, a
vital factor in the health of the fam-
ily.
The Division of Home-making in-
cludes a fifth specialty, “Mother-
craft,” but as this activity is of the
school rather than their ome, I am
reserving an account of it for the
article on community activities of
the American Home Department.
So the next National chairman to
be introduced is Mrs. Harry A Burn-
ham, Chairman of the Division of
Home-making, 38 Brookside Avenue,
Newtonville, Massachusetts.
(Ed. Note: This interesting' arti-
cle will be continued in next week’s
Avalanche. Every woman interest-
ed in club work and the American
home, is urged to read every line of
Mrs. Sherman's article.)
