AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE The American way of life has Its fountain in the American home. The American home is the spirit of the nation in a significant sense it IS the nation. The happiness, peace and helpful living of our people in the constantly changing order of society and the very life of our American democracy depend upon the constant spiritual leadership of our Christian homes. Here, too, rests the destiny of all peoples and the future of civiliza tion. The American Home department dedicates itself to a mission of edu cation, inspiration and guidance. We would have our part in making America strong and in promoting a MRS. L. S. DEVOE State and District Chairman of American Home Department world order of peace and good-will. Through the homes of America, we would serve America and the world, and we would have a spiritual min istry to all of life. Social and economic conditions in thi3 age have given rise to many new, difficult and pressing problems re lating to family life which demand intelligent and smpathetic considera tion. To find wise solutions to these basic problems, the club women of our state, through educational re search and constructive programs are studying ways of improving home conditions and of creating happier family life. Our state president, Mrs. Caley, has chosen for the key note of her administration "American Citizenship." There Is no better place than our homes to teach the fundamental principles of good citi zenship and help adjust "Democracy for human welfare" right In our own Nebraska. The American Home department has five divisions, consisting of Consumer Education, Family Finance, Family Relationships. Spiritual Val ues in the Home, and Safety In the Home. Effective spending is more condu cive to a happy and wholesome liv ing than the acquisition of the in come; and since women do most of that spending, it is Important that the Consumer Education program be stressed. A definite financial plan for every family; the training of youth in money management; to stress the need of financial security of the home; to encourage home-makers to be more business-like these are the objectives of the Family Finance division. Since practically everything we do Is done with others, it is the major objective of the Family Relationships division to study how to get along with other family members. During this Lenten period, Spiri tual Values in the Home should have special significance let every club woman make of her home an altar of religious ideals. It should concern our Nebraska home-makers that the number of deaths from home accidents is exceed ing those from traffic vehicle acci dents. Spring clean-up time affords a good opportunity for housewives to eliminate the fire and fall hazards.
