PRIZE ESSAY
This essay by Phillis Hough, Fresh
man, won first place in the "Better
Homes’’ essay contest sponsored by
the Woman’s Club.
SHARING RESPONSIBILITY
IB THE MAKING OF
A HAPPY HOME
“A Happy Home." To each of us
this calls to mind a different scene.
Our own home, the home of a dear
friend or a home in which we have
visited. Yet in most respects we all
have about the same picture of an
ideal home.
The ideal home is easy to theorize
about. Mother is the center of this
happy home. She is a confident,
friend and advisor, of ull her children.
Each child is the Mother’s helpmate
and shares all of her worries and her
joys. Finance is a daily topic, so that
every member of the family under
stands the situation. Mother is a com
panion of her children and is not left
alone, an outsider. Dad feels the sup
port of his sons and daughters and is
able to carry on knowing that his
family is ulways behind every business
deal. We could talk for ever on the
perfect companionship and under
j standing of this ideal home.
But where is this home? Can you
show me one? Certainly not in this
modern world we hardly have time in
this mad rush to stop look and around
us, where would we find time for com
panionship with Mother? Besides,
moBt modern children believe that
Mother is u back number. We could
hardly confide in her the details of this
swift moving world of today. As for
getting acquainted with Dad, it would
be about as easy to walk up and stnrt
a conversation with the North Pole.
He always sits around with his nose
in the daily paper and only looks up
to grouch about expenses. There is
no use, our parents just don’t under
stand us. So Father goes on his
lonely way trying to save the family
fortunes and Mother washes and cooks
and sews to keep the house in run
ning order for these same thoughtless
children and works and figures to keep
worry from Dad. We go on doing
half heartedly the work that Mother
requires of us, usking Dad for money
and pouting when he cannot spare it.
There is so little of understanding, so
little sharing of responsibility in the
homte of today. It all falls on Mother
and Dad.
How we hate to give up one little
moment of our time so taken up with
trival pleasures, to help take the load
off Mother’s shoulders.
What does one of our evenings of
pleasure amount to when we think of
the many long evenings that Mother
spends at home all alone, wondering
just what is going on in the world
outside her little circle?
This may not be a true picture of
your Mother but it is in many respects
the kind of a life two-thirds of the
Mothers are leading. If your Mother
is tied at home by household cares,
whose fault is it? If your Mother is
not up-to-date, whose fault is that?
Stop and think and then resolve that
you will help shoulder the responsi
bility of your home and get acquainted
with Mother and Dad.
You will probably find that when
Mother’s mind is released from the
cares of her household, she is quite as
interesting a companion as it is pos
sible to find. You will wonder why
you have not spent more evenings
with her and why you have not noticed
before how entertaining Mother was.
1 cannot tell you in what way you
can help your parents. Each family
has its own problems. This, however,
I can tell you, that most of us are let
ting our parents give all of their time,
their thoughts, and devote their lives
to us, while we sit with folded hands
and receive it as our just desert. Such
u one-sided division, responsibility
does not bring human happiness.
I remember a quotation which ex
plains my point far better than I can
ever hope to.
“Not what we have, but what we use;
Not what we see, but what we choose—
These are the things that mar or bless
The sum of human happiness.
Not what we take, but as we give;
Not as we pray but as we live—
These are the things that make for
peace,
Both now and after time shall cease.”

EDUCATIONAL NOTES.
The County Superintendent accom
panied Helen McCaffrey, District No,
30 and Eugene Gallagher, St. Mary’s
Academy winners in the Holt County
Spelling Contest, to .South Sioux City,
to attend the Interstate Spelling Con
test on Friday of last week. Miss
Lois Dyson, teacher of District No.
36 accompanied them. Seventy-eight
contestants from four states, Iowa, Ne.
braska, South Dakota, and Minnesota
competed in this contest.
While our contestants did not place
they stayed up till very close to the
end. Gene took twelfth place and
Helen tenth. Considering the number
of contestants and their qualifications
this speaks well indeed, for our Holt
County Spellers. Erich were given a
certificate as a Perfect Speller. Medals
were awarded the winners by the
Chamber of Commerce of South Sioux
City, Nebraska.
We may well be proud of our con
testants for the fine showing they
made for Holt County, considering the
fact that many of the eastern counties
have taken part in these contests for
the last fifteen years and this is Holt
County’s third entrance in these con
tests. They were congratulated by
the judges upon the self confidence
they showed in their spelling and the
length of time they stayed in line.
Gene and Helen say they thoroughly
enjoyed the trip and meeting the many
contestants from the different states.
We feel that the experience is very
beneficial to the child’s education.
Next year’s Interstate Spelling Con
test will be held at Council Bluffs,
Iowa, on April 18, 1930. Following
are the winners:
Roma Eggert, Douglas County, Ne
braska-First in Oral. Leo Siokre,
Cass County, Nebraska—Second in
Oral. James Duncan, Waynes County,
Iowa—Third in Oral. Margaret Biggs,
Cass County, Iowa—First in Written.
Herchel Anderson, Hamilton County,
Iowa—Second in Written. Lois Jear
son. Lancaster County, Nebraska—
