Pointing out the fact that 90 per

yet how many potential mothers go

they learn it. It is for these women
(and for any others particularly in-

"The' first sten in the re-education
of women is a physic one. There
should be an entire re-valuation of
the present conception of the work
of the home. Homemaking at present
is pushed aside lightly as something
to be achieved as quickly and pain-
lessly as possible. An example of this
sort of thing can be observed in an
alumnaes reply to the question
"What are you doing at present?",
which was apologetically, answered:
"Oh, nothing, just staying home and
taking care of my two children." Wo-
men must be encouraged to feel that
the art of homemaking is a th-rilling
1roject requiring infinite synthesis
from all fields of knowledge.
"The first proposed required course
for, women is. one in biology, and
should include principles of anatomy,
physiology (including reproduction),.
embrology, and the new knowledge
in endocrine glands. The broader
features should be stressed, rather
than risking a loss of interest be-
cause of too great detail which will
not be remembered after the course.
