SHALL the training for home life be confined to the girls? There is much agitation over the necessity for training girls for domestic life and for motherhood. It is high time that the boy shall go into training to live intelligently in the home, and to assume his part of the burden wisely. While the mother's work may be that which is strongest and most observed in home making, the father's supplements and strengthens it, and is necessary for the completion of the home plan. Ignorant as many girls are of the principles of domestic life when they marry, girls are less strangers to their domestic responsibilities than are boys. Boys are in many instances left to care for themselves. They have a manly pride for independence in the affairs which govern their physical welfare. Many, when they go away to school or to college, must shift for themselves, darn their own stockings, and get their own meals. While they may be the better off for this experience, they should learn how to live, and not sacrifice their physical welfare too much in their efforts for intellectual attainments. Their interest in camp life affords an opportunity for instruction in many lines which will be of value in home life. They will certainly become proficient in building a fire, though perhaps they may not acquire so much skill that later in home life they will long to get up early in the morning to be the first to build it.—Home and Flowers.
