(Continued from page 4) ed " Domestie Science" work in the public schools. Miss Southwick says it is not a fad, any more than anything else, but rather a getting back to the days of our grandmothers. In those good old times no girl thought of being married until she had made up a full supply of every article for the household. Bed clothes, fining room linen, and everything hout the home, as well as thing' or hr person, must be made, and the girl must do the "work, and know ho;v each piece could be duplicated, ere

she was fit to think of

marriage,

Now the girl who is sought In marriage by a young man rushes off to

a dressmaker, and the family funds are drained for the-making of her outfit. Table cloths and napkins, and all the beilroom furnishings are bought ready for use. The young woman has no idea of how to make anything, even the darning of a sock is to her an unknown art. Is it worth while to know how to make these things! Daily observation of most everyone says that it is well worth while every girl knowing how to make not only her own clothes, but how to make every article of the cloth kind used about the house, even to the mending of socks. No fad about it, just a "coming back" to- where our grandmothers were. It is a good work, and well worth while, so we say, push it along.

that numbers of xromen are engaged in ether business that takes them out of housework life, but there is always and ever a feeling that a woman's true place is in a home, and why not fit the girls for such a position in life, when we know the aim of every girl is to reach that place. To this end a modified course

is given in this direction, but for want of a properly equipped kitchen this work is handicapped greatly. This work is deemed so important that Mr. Harris in his High school eherristry work is giving a course in what is called "Kitchen Chemistry,'' where the raw and cooked food is analyzed and the various

i tests maJe.

Miss Southwick is a master In this work. She is a graduate of the Ypsilanti, Michigan Normal College, having taken a thorough course in Domestic Science there, where special attention is given this department of Gchool work. "While there she took special training in getting up and serving banquets. At one time she had entire charge of the May Meeting Banquet thei?, where 230 plates were served. She had charge of this department of the Y. M. C. A., when tbev served banquets for the fraternities there. It is a real treat to look over the work this lady has accomplished, and few of Plymouth's 'citizens know that the School Board has on their list of teachers, one who is in every wav qualified to do this work. Miss Southw:ck is giving this training to the girls of our schools, and even takes such an interest in Its progress that a, class of the High school girl who are past her jurisdiction, yet have not had the advantage of this training, are taking an extra study in this branch, and Miss South wick works overtime gratis for the

benefit of these girls. Occasionally there is one who discovers such people as Miss South

wick. . Mrs. C. R. Leonard found her, and a new idea is to be tried The Domestic Science turns to the preparation of the various kinds of gcod cooking. Time was when sir's cruld bake bread. Once in a great while we come to a woman now who can do so, but they are rare. To be sure our modern life has changed conditions so much

out in Plymouth. Mrs. Leonard is to have company on Thanksgiving Day, and has given her kitchen and dining rcom over to Miss Southwick to prepare and serve the meal.

Assisting her will be a number of the girls of the school, who will

thus get in actual practice the les

sons they have had in school. This

will give them an opportunity to see if the theory they' have had In the

school room is l:ased on the actual conditions existing in a kitchen and dining room. To us Miss Southwick appears to be equal to the task, and we have no hes'tation in saying that Mrs. Leonard's guests will have a dinner that will be complete and perfect, and served in proper style as well. Would It not be well; to give a little more attention to this department, give them better equipment, and encourage those who have the charge of this important line of study in connection with our public schools so that the boys and girls sent out will be better fitted to meet the

emergencies.

NEGRO POPULATION.

Thirteenth Census Shows That It Has Not Increased As Fast As White.

Washington, D. C. Nov. 27 The Director of the Census has issued a preliminary statement of the white and negro population of continental United States,as shown, by the returns of the Thirteenth Decennial Census, taken as cf April 15, 1910. These figures have been prepared under the spervision of Mr. William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population in the Bureau of the

Regardless Of what it Costs Us 1 We Keep Faith with Our Customers We have rather peculiar ideas about running a retail store. We believe that the merchant who

looks out for h s customers' interests will never have to worry about his own interests. Business success, I ke happiness, comes to the average man INDIRECTLY. The fellow who . goes about seeking happiness is the most unfortunate individual imaginable; the man who does his duty from day to day and tries to make others content finds true happi

ness. And so it is in business. We believe and alway have believed, that by serving YOUR interests we shall in the end serve our best interests. C. Z. Rowe 105 N. Michigan Street

Census, and are subject to later revision. The poulation of eontin-. ental United States (that is, excluding Alaska, Porto Rico, and ether outlying possessions), which was 91.972.2GG in 19L is subdivided as to color, a follows: White, 81,732,007, or 8S.9 per cent; negro, 9.828.294, or 10.7 per cent; all ether persons (Indians, Chinese, Japanese, etc.), 411.28.), or 0.4 per cent !

The whites now constitute 88.9 , per cert of the total population, as J compared wth 86.5 per cent in 1SS0. whereas, the neuroes now constitute; only 10.7 per cent of the total pop- j illation, as compared with 13.1 per cent in 18S0. There has been an increase in white population since 1900 of 14,-1

923,491, or 22.3 per cent, as com

pared with an increase in negro population of 994,300, or 11.3 per

cent. The excels in the percentage,

of increase for the whites is, of

course, due in part to the large im

migration of foreign-born whites. There is practically no immigration!

of nearos.

It is possible, however, to deter

mine approximately what the increase of the white population would have been apart from immigration. J From a pr-liminary tabulation th? Census Bureau has ascertained that'

of the entire number of foreign-

born white persons who were enu

merated at the Thirteenth Census, about 5,000,000, or 37 per cent, were

reported as having come to this

country since 1900. If this number

is deducted from the increase in

the white population, the latter then becomes less than 10,000,000, instead

of 14.923,491, while the percentage

of increase is not quite 15 per cent,

instead of 22.3 per cent. This figure, 15 per cent, is fairly comparable with the 11.3 per cent by vhid the negroes increased. ' In making these computations, however, no allowance . hafe been made for native white persons who may have emigrated' from the United States. But, as against this, no allowance either has been made for tbe children born in this country since 1900, and who most certainly exceed the number of emigrants.
