Of course every child will eat, if you take the sentence literally, but not every child will eat the things that are good for him, or her, as the case may be. In the effort to present articles that get right down into intimate, interesting and pertinent family problems, we offer this month, among other things, and article by Gladys Denny Schultz on the foregoing subject. We think such articles are of interest to 100 percent our readers. What do you think? Pursuant to the Better Homes and Gardens policy of encouraging the building of homes where children may feel at home, we present his month a thoughful artcile by Leland McBroom on a house where special thought has been give to the needs of children. "The house is the child's world," say Mr. McBroom. Had you thougt of that? The grown-ups have their wordaday contacts in the wide world, but the horizon of the pre-school child is usually limited ot teh confines of the home and garden. How to make the child's world as usefeul and pleasant as possible is the problem of the thoughtful home-maker. It is desired that the child shoudl become a good citizen of the world, and it si therefore necessary that he fit into the scheme of the little world in which he finds himself during the first, three or four years of life. One of the real charter members of the Better Homes and Gardens family is Francis Asbury Robinson, who has had charge of our landscaping depeartment since the beginning of the magazine. M. Robinson received his trainign in Darmouth and Harvard, where he obtained a master's degree. He was in France during 1918 and 1919 with the 313th Engineers, and rose from private to captain during that time. For fourteen years he has been a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects. Mr. Robinson was landscape architect-in-chief of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1925. Other interesting commission which he has undertaken are the grounds at Dartmouth College and Wbash College; the Waterworks parks in Des Moines, Iowa; in Orlando, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama; and numerous state fairs and expositions. Color is being used so freely in the home these days that a large array of new problems present themselves. The indiscriminate use of color is worse than no color at all. Color to be effective, must be studied and employed with proper balance, with restraint and with regard to harmony. There are certain laws of relationships taht must be observed in order to keep colors living peacefully together. That is why Ross Crane's arrticle in thsi issue is of special value at this time. </td> <td> One of the most remarkable items of commendatino yet received by Better Homes and Gardens is that concerning a woman in Oregon. We quote directly from the letter of one of our subscribers: "One member of the family was in a very serious condition with diabetes. I sent a copy of your magazine to the family, for I was sure an article in that number would encourage them. They read snatches of the article to her. . . . Her viewpoint was changed concerning the disease, so she perked right up and conseted to be taken to the hospital to start the insulin treatment. . . . No wshe is quite herself again, adn is the joy of her family. . . . They write me frequently to tell me that I save dher life with that article." The term "Better Homes and Gardens" or part of it, are used frequently these days in connection with expositions and other projects with the subject indicated. The name of this magazine is therefore well justified by events. This name was adopted because it is a thoroly and characteristically American statement of the ambition of home-owners. "To make our best better" is the slogan of a group that is doing great work among American young people, and this is the idea that Better Homes and Gardens seeks to encourage. Constant improvement, constant striving toward higher and higher levels of achievement, is charaterisitc of American civilization. It is youthfully enthusiastic in its ambition to attainj better living. The spirit of realizable anticipation is mroe netralling than the other world illusions of ficition. It was youthful opitmism that made this country what it is now and will make it still greater. Better Homes nad Gardens is therefore in tune with American progress as it applies to the fundamental element of civilization - the home. In the February issue, metnion was made of the "Better Back Yards for Children" contest. If you wish to have complete annoucement, write to the Back Yard Playground Contest Department, Better Homes and Gardens, Des Moines, Iowa. A leaflet containing complete annoucement will be mailed to you at once. Desiring to be of service to garden clubs, we have arranged to furnish clubs with courses in landscape architecture, these course to be taken up in the meetings so as to be of benefit to all the members. Announcements have been made in previous issues, but if you ahve not seen them, a letter to Better Homes and Gardens will quickly bring the desired information. Landscape architecture is not a formidable theme, altho it requires consdierable study. It is a fascinating subject and one which is appropriate for garden clubs.

Supposing your mother were crossing the street - Your mother now feeble and old, And some reckless driver should knock her side, Leaving her lifeless and cold. Could you find and excuse for this careless act? Would you really think it is fair? Now putting yourself in this fellow's place- Mr. Speeder, do you think you would care? Supposing a loved one you hold very dear Were a victim of some speeder's game; And lay in bed just day after day All crippled and helpless and lame; Supposing he never could walk any more, No longer yoru pleasures could share; Just lay there and suffered day in and day out- Mr Speeder, do you think you would care? How little you care for other man's pain In your reckless pleasure and greed; How little you care what it costs someone else, As you travel at dare-devil speed; But just let it strike in your family some day For you and your loved ones to share- Then you'll slacken your speed and you'll take time to think, And then Mr. Speeder, you'll care. - Boston Post https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/5b15aeeedb1060174fde927500f0cbc5.pdf 5af0bf1986fc1242addbdd7ddda90801 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/5e4beef6809bb02cc8ed3190d6a6e6da.pdf c5ad0cfaa3c85764a98cbaad24944c1e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3164b22246b2e88134c122544c534014.pdf b46863c03084e77727b054d9760cf21a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/1e0f01baf3f01b0990c3e0752061257e.pdf fa77ac3c346598cf0ae8ea447f254f60 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2775aa5fb3297318008807bf2c1a7b00.pdf b758883913d8f6f9a393333545fabc4d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/386c8781c444179003f88fc3d526b88c.pdf 9bcf6f0f88e7ee148d8dcf5ef22388b1 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f3a896b588aa012e9b1070a6ba5ce66e.pdf 45b7b8ecf7b83bdb68e0293f38bf0ef1 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ae6590bdf19eafde3d51998f4d5cfb9c.pdf ebcf973f9ea476e209224f6346e41e73 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/501a0ddf04f76fb8732870b1ddf048b9.pdf e0fd2906abe401dbb541890c8177aba0 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/7ae35bde49f889eea679e2d9a204f023.pdf 93030fd27d9f84f545be6ce3977ea5b3 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b7838365a3775d71c422886cd7e347b7.pdf f4a0b92a263b36a835d118a9ef7987a2 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4f133eed4a42a148676c349101067a9a.pdf 99cd9e55155e65f4c4a13f8a74191925 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/74139e929d9190156299f7efbd2372f9.pdf 0ee03895c418f9d34c0444984bcfb919 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/641628cae7d7bd61588260281c22d78b.pdf 883ae464430804b5d90cf5b3539f487a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/838ec6298f6292beae2cf202926b3db7.pdf 36dc485e28556cb8a3e2abb37b3b2e0d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c9d2b068be4559100dfd85e4c5c64859.pdf a801115bd0270255620836dabf8f7757 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Of course every child will eat, if you take the sentence literally, but not every child will eat the things that are good for him, or her, as the case may be. </p><p>In the effort to present articles that get right down into intimate, interesting and pertinent family problems, we offer this month, among other things, and article by Gladys Denny Schultz on the foregoing subject. We think such articles are of interest to 100 percent our readers. What do you think? </p><p>Pursuant to the Better Homes and Gardens policy of encouraging the building of homes where children may feel at home, we present his month a thoughful artcile by Leland McBroom on a house where special thought has been give to the needs of children. "The house is the child's world," say Mr. McBroom. Had you thougt of that? The grown-ups have their wordaday contacts in the wide world, but the horizon of the pre-school child is usually limited ot teh confines of the home and garden. </p><p>How to make the child's world as usefeul and pleasant as possible is the problem of the thoughtful home-maker. It is desired that the child shoudl become a good citizen of the world, and it si therefore necessary that he fit into the scheme of the little world in which he finds himself during the first, three or four years of life. </p><p>One of the real charter members of the Better Homes and Gardens family is Francis Asbury Robinson, who has had charge of our landscaping depeartment since the beginning of the magazine. M. Robinson received his trainign in Darmouth and Harvard, where he obtained a master's degree. He was in France during 1918 and 1919 with the 313th Engineers, and rose from private to captain during that time. For fourteen years he has been a member of the American Society of Landscape Architects. </p><p>Mr. Robinson was landscape architect-in-chief of the Sesqui-Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 1925. Other interesting commission which he has undertaken are the grounds at Dartmouth College and Wbash College; the Waterworks parks in Des Moines, Iowa; in Orlando, Florida, and Birmingham, Alabama; and numerous state fairs and expositions. </p><p>Color is being used so freely in the home these days that a large array of new problems present themselves. The indiscriminate use of color is worse than no color at all. Color to be effective, must be studied and employed with proper balance, with restraint and with regard to harmony. There are certain laws of relationships taht must be observed in order to keep colors living peacefully together. That is why Ross Crane's arrticle in thsi issue is of special value at this time. </p> </td> <td> <p>One of the most remarkable items of commendatino yet received by Better Homes and Gardens is that concerning a woman in Oregon. We quote directly from the letter of one of our subscribers: "One member of the family was in a very serious condition with diabetes. I sent a copy of your magazine to the family, for I was sure an article in that number would encourage them. They read snatches of the article to her. . . . Her viewpoint was changed concerning the disease, so she perked right up and conseted to be taken to the hospital to start the insulin treatment. . . . No wshe is quite herself again, adn is the joy of her family. . . . They write me frequently to tell me that I save dher life with that article." </p><p>The term "Better Homes and Gardens" or part of it, are used frequently these days in connection with expositions and other projects with the subject indicated. The name of this magazine is therefore well justified by events. This name was adopted because it is a thoroly and characteristically American statement of the ambition of home-owners. "To make our best better" is the slogan of a group that is doing great work among American young people, and this is the idea that Better Homes and Gardens seeks to encourage. Constant improvement, constant striving toward higher and higher levels of achievement, is charaterisitc of American civilization. It is youthfully enthusiastic in its ambition to attainj better living. The spirit of realizable anticipation is mroe netralling than the other world illusions of ficition. It was youthful opitmism that made this country what it is now and will make it still greater. Better Homes nad Gardens is therefore in tune with American progress as it applies to the fundamental element of civilization - the home. </p><p>In the February issue, metnion was made of the "Better Back Yards for Children" contest. If you wish to have complete annoucement, write to the Back Yard Playground Contest Department, Better Homes and Gardens, Des Moines, Iowa. A leaflet containing complete annoucement will be mailed to you at once. </p><p>Desiring to be of service to garden clubs, we have arranged to furnish clubs with courses in landscape architecture, these course to be taken up in the meetings so as to be of benefit to all the members. Announcements have been made in previous issues, but if you ahve not seen them, a letter to Better Homes and Gardens will quickly bring the desired information. Landscape architecture is not a formidable theme, altho it requires consdierable study. It is a fascinating subject and one which is appropriate for garden clubs.

Do not expose proofs to strong lights, or they will fade immediately. 2. All proofs must be returned, or they will be charged for at the rate of two dollars each. 3. If order is given for more than one style, an extra charge of one dollar will be made for each additional negative, thus, one dozen of the $15.00 Cabinets finished from two negatives would cost $16.00, and if three different styles are ordered they would cost $17.00. 4. Write order plainly on the back of proofs you wish finished. 5. If proofs will not finish first-class you will find X on the back. Defects, or anything displeasing about expression will be remedied in finishing. 6. No photographs finished until a deposit is made, and the full amount must be paid before one photograph is delivered. We will not break this rule, for any person, under any circumstances. 7. If no order is given we charge from two dollars to ten dollars for making negatives. === FREDERICK WILLIAM LYONDE AND HIS SONS, Photographers of Famous Men. 167 YONGE STREET, AT QUEEN, TORONTO, CANADA === SPECIAL NOTICE - Please remit by Registered Letter, Post Office Order, or Express Order.
