Plea for Teaching Lads How ToMind Baby and To Cook.USELESS HUSBANDS.

*' Mothercralt "the care of a baby, how to CO' I ,K,'lo keep the house clean, and so onwill perhaps,before long, be the latest addition to every boy'scnrriciil'.'im," I t hink.the t ime is not far distant when boyswill be taught domestic economythat is to say,how to make the home healthy and happyju st asare girls," said a headmistress of a large NorthLondon Council girls' school to The Daily Mirrorysterday.

" By this I mean' practically everything a womanlias to do in the home," she continued,

"T he time has come when.,.men and womenmust co-operate in domestic duties.

" At the present 'time the woman has all theburden of the home and the man none at all.

SPECIALIST'S WOKK." T o be a good wife a woman has to be a

Epecialist in-each of the f ollo wing: MotIier-crat.Cooking.Dressmaking.

Laundry work,Home management.Home hygiene, etc.. etg."O n the other hand, a man, as things stand at

present, has only two things in which to specialisehis work and his amusements.

" Then, again, the woman gets very little changeand variety, while the man has practically as ir.uchas he want s. ' ' ," Now,, with the poorer classes of people, it oftenhappens tha t.the ma n is frequently out o empioy-ment and the woman has to go out to wptk."This happens in hundreds of homesi-and theman is left at home to attend to the wants and eaiesof perhap s a family of young" children, " He doesn't know how to do anything 'do mes*t i c , ' and the result ischaos. ' It isn't my place tolook after the home ,' he says . ." Surely it would be better for the health andhapp iness of the nation it such men had been ta^jghtdomestic work when they were boys!HOW TO DHESS BABY." At my school girls from eleven to fourteen yea isof age are taught all branches of domestic work tofit them for motherhood." Some of their lessons are. as follow : How to wHsii baby.How to dress, feed, and pat baby to bed.How to malte childreft'e clothes.How to do simple cocking,First aid in tbeliome.Setting a table, . , , . j i .1,Window cleaning, btushing hai r, cleaning 01 teethand naila. *Prevention of consumption.Domestic arithmetic. . ,.Cutting down clothes t^ in the boxyou cannot stop hev le'ling ail that is liunecessaryand leaving u[ the point sle is asked about," saidthe Judge yesterday .it Clerkeiv,veil County Court,

Thinking in bed and worrying about one's business or domestic affairs is one of the worst and ,imfortunatejy, one of the commonest nervousmaladies of the present day. It is a habit whichoften takes twenty years off a man's life.

This was the strong opinion expressed to TheDaily Mirror yesterday by a well-known doctorapropos of a statement just made by Mr, J, C.Stubbs, an American millionaire, who is shortly foretire.

As an axiom of what not to do in order to live along, happy life, Mr. Stubhs said : " Thinking in bed killed H.irriman (the famousAmerican railroad director). He worked all dayand thought out his problems at night," Hundreds of menand women, too, in a smallerproport ionare worn oiit and useless at forty-fiveor fifty mainly through the habit of worrying atnight," said the doctor who was seen by ourrepresentative.

' I call it a habit because men begin at first tothink and worry over things ,in bed quit e voluntarily. They 'c he w' oyer their failures and theirsuccesses with something akin to pleasure.DEFINITE NERVOUS MALADY.

"This worrying introspection becomes a nightlyperformance, and soon it develops into a definitenervous malady. You can tell the man who takeshis business to bed' with him by his pale, hagg ardface and feverishj e:icitable manner." Su cha ma n is taking years off his life. Afterfifty he is not only useless for business, but incapable of doing anything thoroughly. He has nocapacity or liking for amusements, as he has nevergiven a thought to them during the best years ofhis lif_e. > ' ^"Worrying and thinking in bed is harmful because it drains one's energy and reserve strength.When the mind is alert and anxious and fretful t hebody is similarly affected. It gets no rest." I have tried to show here the sad lot of theman.who thinks in bed. Now, what are the remedies and 'cu re s' which wilJ help him to keep hismind a blankand sleep soundly?" The remedy which I always recommend to menwho come to me complaining of sleepless, an-xiousnigbts is simplyread,

READING CURE." There are, of course, many kinds of reading, butthe kiiVd of stuff I mean- is light Bct ionboo ks ofthe 'Gulliver's Travels' tvpe, or the works ofOliver Wendell Holmes." Here is a nightly time-table for the man whocannot help thinking of his business when tryingto go to sleep.." Fo r an hour before bedtime lie should readlight fiction of a humorou s kind. Then he shouldgo quietly to bed. Fojr this kind of neurast heniaa man should observe the following rules:Don't do any exercises belore getting into bed.Don't bave a hot or a cold liath. sKeep the room fresh and sweet.Fores yoaraeil to think of nothijig except ligiit,, pleasant things.~ " Immedia tely on getting info bed recommence reading. Fpr the aii-iious business-harriedman the finest book is 'Gu lli ver 's Travel s-' Itis just the one thing for making one forget oneself." Gradually sleep will come to the tired manand he should pass a sound night, and feel infi-nitely better in the morning."
